Abstract
Cloud Computing offers an entirely new way of looking at IT infrastructure. From a hardware point of view, cloud computing offers seemingly never-ending computing resources available on demand, thereby eliminating the need to budget for hardware that may only be used in high peak timeframes. Cloud computing eliminates an up-front commitment by users, thereby allowing agencies to start small and increase hardware resources only when there is an increase in their needs. Moreover, cloud computing provides the ability to pay for use of computing resources on a short-term basis as needed and release them as needed .In this paper we focus on area , issues and future of Cloud Computing.
