AICT2009 International Conference Closing Ceremony

The boom around cloud computing has reached to crown. Some professionals believe it’s an absolutely new trend representing the next level of the internet evolution. Others believe it’s hype, as it uses long established computing technologies. This paper analyze cloud computing technology from different points of view and presents the findings in order to figure out the benefits and risks of cloud computing and the best way to use this technology.
