Cloud Computing
Summary of the article
The article is researched upon the most trending concept of cloud computing. To do so, the
article written by (Kuyoro et al., 2011) has described cloud-computing security challenges as
well as issues in detail after conducting a critical analysis. The research study suggests that
Cloud Computing (CC) can be seen as a group of IT-services that are usually delivered to a
consumer all across a network. These IT services are offered on a hired basis along with the
capability to scale up as well as down the service needs. The study suggests that CC services
are nowadays delivered from a third-party supplier, who owns IT infrastructure.
The article summarizes the most important advantages of CC include scalability, flexibility,
resilience, efficiency as well as outsourcing non-core activities. In addition to that CC has
been seen offering an innovative business-model for the contemporary firms for adopting IT
services in the absence of upfront investment. The key issue mentioned by the writer of the
article (Kuyoro et al., 2011) is that modern organizations are sluggish in accepting CC
because of the security issues as well as challenges associated with it. However, many of the
potential advantages of cloud computing has been described by the selected research study. In
addition to that, cloud security is one of the key issues that typically hinder the growth of
cloud computing in this world. Apart from this, an idea of hand-over important info and data
to some another company is critically worrisome in a way that the global users require to be
vigilant while understanding the data breaches related risks within the new cloud-driven
environment. In this way, the selected research study has introduced a concrete analysis of
the cloud security problems as well as challenges in relation to CC while focusing upon the
CC kinds as well as the service delivery kinds.
Critique the methods used and the findings presented
While analysing and critically reviewing the research paper written by (Kuyoro et al., 2011),
it has been observed that this study did not consider the potential of the CC for the different
fields such as education, cyber-security, businesses, and organizational empowerment
purposes. Apart from this, cloud computing architecture has not been discussed in this journal
