Although largely driven by economies of scale, the development of the modern cloud also enables increased security. Large data centers provide aggregate availability, reliability, and security assurances. The operational cost of ensuring that operating systems, databases, and other services have secure configurations can be amortized among all tenants, allowing the cloud provider to employ experts who are responsible for security; this is often unfeasible for smaller businesses, where the role of systems administrator is often conflated with many others.

Cloud computing – the creation of large data centers that can be dynamically provisioned, configured, and reconfigured to deliver services in a scalable manner – places enormous capacity and power in the hands of users. As an emerging new technology, however, cloud computing also raises significant questions about resources, economics, the environment, and the law. Many of these questions relate to geographical considerations related to the data centers that underlie the clouds: physical location, available resources, and jurisdiction. While the metaphor of the cloud evokes images of dispersion, cloud computing actually represents centralization of information and computing resources in data centers, raising the specter of the potential for corporate or government control over information if there is insufficient consideration of these geographical issues, especially jurisdiction. This paper explores the interrelationships between the geography of cloud computing, its users, its providers, and governments.

In the recent trends, cloud computing service users agreed on the concept of pay and use model by accessing all the best services provided by the providers. The major problem here is that there is no standardization so that not everyone coming into the same platform. Now cloud computing efficiently uses time, cost, and effort. In this internet, speed is playing an important role. With the development of each and every field with its proper limitations, the researchers come into the picture that the ontology concept is playing a vital role in the field of computing. The key role of ontology is supporting the knowledge sharing activities. It is giving the set of criteria to prove the use of ontology in the computing world. In the design and development of ontology for computing and mathematics, the information from data centers is very important. The selected design and decisions give efficient and effective results to prove how ontology is playing a vital role in the computing system.

Several trends are opening up the era of cloud computing. It moves the application software and databases to the centralized large data centers, where the management of the data and services may not be fully trustworthy. This work studies the problem of ensuring the integrity of data storage in cloud computing. We use RSAs homomorphic property to construct the protocol of provable data possession. In our protocol, we can aggregate multiple Provable Data possession into one, and reduce the overhead of communication. While prior work on ensuring remote data integrity often lacks the specific implementations, this paper achieves an effective proof of storage protocol. Extensive security and performance analysis show that the proposed scheme is highly efficient and provably secure.

Cloud computing, which refers to an emerging computing model where machines in large data centers can be used to deliver services in a scalable manner, has become popular for corporations in need of inexpensive, large scale computing. Recently, However, the study of integrated solving strategy is rare. In this paper, we propose a novel integrated solving strategy for cloud computing. For this purpose, we present cloud computing architectures , platforms, and applications to deliver services and meet the needs of their constituents and information and services supported by this integrated solving strategy. At the same time ,this paper also argues that we focused on cloud computing integrated solving stratrgy is an essential part of the government IT environment.

Cloud computing is a recent trend in IT that moves computing and data away from desktop and portable PCs into large data centers, and outsources the “applications” (hardware and software) as services over the Internet. Cloud computing promises to increase the velocity with which applications are deployed, increase innovation, and lower costs, all while increasing business agility. But, is the migration to the Cloud the most profitable option for every business? This chapter presents a study of the basic parameters for estimating the potential infrastructure and software costs deriving from building and deploying applications on cloud and on-premise assets. Estimated user demand and desired quality attributes related to an application are also addressed in this chapter as they are aspects of the decision problem that also influence the choice between cloud and in-house solutions.

Data center facilities play a vital role in present and forthcoming information and communication technologies. Internet giants, such as IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and Amazon hold large data centers to provide cloud computing services and web hosting applications. Due to rapid growth in data center size and complexity, it is essential to highlight important design aspects and challenges of data centers. This article presents market segmentation of the leading data center operators and discusses the infrastructural considerations, namely energy consumption, power usage effectiveness, cost structure, and system reliability constraints. Moreover, it presents data center network design, classification of the data center servers, recent developments, and future trends of the data center industry. Furthermore, the emerging paradigm of mobile cloud computing is debated with respect to the research issues. Preliminary results for the energy consumption of task scheduling techniques are also provided.
