A survey — Cloud computing a global perspective

Cloud computing has materialized as a new platform in the field of Computer Science. Its focus is on providing different facilities through its flexible infrastructure. With its vast capabilities, the cloud has expanded itself into various applications. In this paper, we have surveyed 15 papers on cloud computing; analyzing its history, development and future aspects. Our paper summarizes how the cloud came into being, how it is growing and what the future holds for it. Despite some of its disadvantages the cloud still holds a strong position in the growing IT industry.
