Computing as a utility is an idea whose time has come. In this article, we explore the implications for information technology (IT) as computing “on-demand” becomes an increasing reality – and opportunity – for organizations.

Cloud computing is fast reshaping the information technology (IT) landscape. In this article, the author outlines the road ahead for cloud computing in the public sector. Then, he offers ten predictions for the cloud-enabled future of government IT.

Cloud computing has been touted as a revolutionary concept in computing. In this article, we introduce the cloud computing concept, and then discuss the implications for the use of the cloud model in higher education. Due to budget constraints and the power of computing “on-demand,” many believe that colleges and universities will be at the forefront of the shift to using cloud-based resources. We examine the impact of cloud computing on both research and university computing operations. We see that globally, this shift is already making a difference in how universities procure and use IT resources. In conclusion, we advance a six-stage Cloud Migration Strategy for introducing and implementing cloud computing in institutions. We also discuss the necessary changes in policies and procurement, as well as security and reliability concerns for institutions implementing cloud computing.

How reliable and secure is data stored in the cloud? This is a critical perception – and reality – that must be addressed by cloud computing providers and users, in order to foster confidence in the cloud model. What can – and is – being done to improve both the perception – and reality – of cloud security and reliability.

Cloud computing has been touted by industry analysts as "the next big thing" in the information technology industry. This article examines the benefits and unresolved issues surrounding the shift to cloud computing.

Cloud computing is "the phrase du jour" in the corporate and governmental technology markets today. The "free" aspects of the cloud model may indeed revolutionize how government IT operates.

In this article I will try to explain how to make a linear model, giving different examples.
