A Review on Cloud Computing and Virtualization

Neeta Kanwani, Amit Kumar Gupta, Priya Mathur

Abstract


The concept of cloud computing provides a paradigm for storing data over the cloud. It can be further used for data analysis and forecasting. A lot of business enterprises are moving on to cloud computing due to numerous advantages as it allows us to store millions of data without any loss, maintains the privacy of data, provides valid authenticity. The virtualization is the key features of the cloud computing. The cloud computing attribute provides new security challenges that are not understood yet. Cloud computing used to store the data and when the data is stored on clouds then security of data is very much essential aspects in the technology of cloud computing. A basic process of storing data in the cloud is to encrypt the data and store it in the cloud and provide the decryption key to its authenticated user. Cloud services are managed by various individuals such as cloud auditor, cloud broker; cloud carrier, cloud provider and services are accessed by cloud consumers. This paper summarizes the concept of virtualization in the field of cloud computing and various pros and cons of it.
