1. Introduction:

The word cloud computing is a current buzzword in the IT business world. Behind this term a real picture of both technical and social perspective of cloud computer in upcoming future. It is introduced during the time of 1990s with distributed computing approaches. Its computing is transfer from personal computers system and to cloud of computers from individual enterprise server so cloud computing is known as paradigm shift. In the view of Forrester Research, the cloud market for public is estimated to $191 billion by 202 because of significant rise of $58 billion in 2013. According to Gartner, in 2015 cloud is renowned as a top 10 strategic technology trends that will have a significant impact in the organizations during further three years. Many of the research firm mentioned that cloud is the modify manner of elastically scalable, self service computing and both internal coating and external coating will be built on this new style. It provides service to customers in a versatile range and easy to operate. Smaller companionship such as Smug Mug, which is an online photo hosting site, has used cloud computing to storing all data and performing some of its services. Cloud computing is using various surface areas such as entanglement hosting, parallel pile processing, graphics rendering, financial model, web crawling and so on. Cloud computing as an emerging computing device epitome where data and information service is hugely scalable data centers in the cloud and easily accessed with the connected devices over the internet areas.

2. Project Objectives:

This research report is prepared with the objective of finding the reason for which this research is being conducted. The main aim of this research report is to explain the problem of this research and find out the corrective action to solve. It is clearly shown in this report that the main objective is to identify and evaluate different articles related to cloud computing as well as acquire view and opinion describes in this articles. By this research report a proper knowledge and understanding of cloud computing including its advantages and disadvantages will be developed.

3. Project scope:

The main points of this research reports is to analyzed and acquire several set of aspects related with the cloud computing such a as its characteristics, importance, advantages and potential risk etc. This research report mainly focuses on the role and impact of cloud computing on business sectors. Through this report, it is clearly identified whether merits of cloud computing outweigh demerits or not. Therefore a better result will be achieved through proper research related with the research topic.

4. Literature Review:

The cloud computing is the example of a new computational technique, which represents the imaginative business enterprise’s model for industries to simply accept the facts era, Marston et al. (2011). But there still a query about advantages performed through the cloud computing and the security of version that impacts the adoption of the cloud model. Consistent with Low et al. (2011) describes that security troubles is one of the complicated issues of cloud computing. Cloud computing covers several regions like multi-tendency, elasticity and version structure or layers dependency stack. Cloud computing associated plenty of feature that includes community get entry to inside the border manner, rapid elasticity, on- call for self provider, aid pooling and measured services. In step with Xu (2012), Cloud computing refers to a way inside the organizations, wherein board or control mangers the net computing assets. In current years the idioms of cloud computing has merged and evolved in extra superior manner. The cloud computing can be used in order to allow diverse individual to utilize the same data base and computing features at the same time period for store and approaches its data from internet association. Foster et al. (2008) explains that cloud computing allow the enterprise to access data and information virtually and building the elastic of accessing the company data anytime and anywhere.

Cloud computing covers large areas in business sectors well many of the business gets benefits. Zhang et al. (2010) say that cloud computing technology recommends improved or reasonable communicating to business concern entity. Due to the faster communication features help business firms to better way such as decentralizing of business which reduced cost, flexibility and increased storage. In faster communication, the cloud equipment offering exploited propensity in supplying reliable, correct and price- powerful IP-based totally connections. in addition, it presents the clean access of records, crucial enterprise software program and projects from any location into the entire global. It also creates a secure collaboration of group members from all around the world and access anytime anywhere by the group members.

Cloud computing contains both advantages and disadvantages for business sectors. Merits include:

1) It is easy to operate and manage in presence of simple web browser through the connection of internet. According to Foster et al. (2008), it is an application contains high storage capacity which is great beneficial for business users.

2) It provides an uninterrupted service to client as a inferior outages.

3) Cost reduction is one of the main advantages of cloud to its users, Zissis and Lekkas, (2012).

4) In case of poor management system cloud computing helps as an outside backup of software for the consumers.

Demerits include:

1) As per the view of Zissis and Lekkas (2012), one of the disadvantages of cloud computing is downtime because it is fully based on internet connection so any reason internet failure can cause a great loss in cloud business.

2) One of the problems faced by users in cloud computing is security and privacy issues. In business managing database and related information is done by the providers but in case of rural areas it is impossible to manage.

3) Due to security problem host companies provide limited control and flexibility on operation to the users.

4) It is costly for the small and medium sized company to operate because it required high installation and operating cost so if we reduce staff level and hardware costs even though it raising the cost.

Nowadays there are different forms of cloud computing available in the market they are first, Software- as- a- services (SAAS) which has a high scalable storage based on internet connection and provide services to various end users. Second, Platform- as-a-services (PAAS) all the test, design and development are based on it. Last, Infrastructure- as-a-services (IAAS) it makes available of database management, storage and computing capability.

5. Research Questions:

The following are some questions related with this research report describes below:

5.1 Primary Question

Q.1 Do Robotics, Medic robotics, Artificial Intelligence( Facebook), Augmented reality (Iphone X) etc getting benefits from cloud or not?

5.2 Secondary Question

Q.1 Do the merits of clouds computing outweigh its risk control factors or not?

Q.2 Is the security and privacy issues, downtime, limited control can creates benefits to company in some limits?

6. Research design and methodology:

Methodology is the component in which data related with the enquiry technique and different method used by the researcher is being provided.
