Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide information
to businesses interested in cloud computing. First we define
cloud computing and discuss the different service and
deployment models from a business standpoint. Then we move
into business cases for the cloud and the strengths of each
service and deployment model. We follow this up with business
attributes that tend to drive a cloud adaption and the effects of
cloud on business IT. The last section reveals the challenges
of cloud computing ranging from security concerns and legal
issues, to negotiation of an adequate service level agreement.
