Abstract
Cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources, not a new technology; a term simply renames common technologies and techniques that we have come to know in IT. It is the most significant technique in the 21st century. This new technique conveys enormous impact to the society, especially the business world. The services of cloud computing sets the clients free from worrying about data processing problems, so that they can focus on their major businesses. This new economic model for computing is increasingly becoming popular and is seeing massive global investment. Despite the surge in activity and interest, there are significant, persistent concerns about cloud computing that are the major barriers for cloud adoption. This paper mainly focuses on the three cloud service models, commonly referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), its major threats and some guidance on situations where particular flavor of cloud model are best option for an organization. This also discusses with example some major cloud service providers in order to show that how cloud computing will make the business world simpler, more efficient and more specialized.
