Cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is the future generation of computing. It is a very new concept in the field of computing characterised by three main entities - Software, Hardware and Network. The collective nature of all these entities is known as the Cloud. The subject of cloud computing is currently in the very early stages of development and there is a lot of research being carried out in this area. In this poster, we analyse cloud computing and examines its application in the context of e-government. Existing e-government practices face many challenges, from development to implementation. We propose cloud computing as an ideal solution to these challenges including maintaining Green ICT.
