Abstract


Nowadays, Cloud Computing is widely used to deliver services over the Internet for both technical and economic reasons and believing that cloud computing will reshape the entire ICT industries. Cloud Computing has a lot of resources as open source which gives different platform and services for better computing utilization. They are managed by Cloud Management tools and offer all the benefits of a public utility system, in terms of economy of scale, flexibility and convenience but has its own limitations. The primary objective of this paper is to provide a reference source and classification scheme for usability of cloud computing in the information system for researchers interested in cloud computing and highlights the under-researched areas as well as future directions. The paper presents an in-depth review of Cloud Computing where main service and deployment models, benefits and limitations of cloud computing as well as terminologies adopted in cloud computing were discussed.
