Abstract

With cloud computing becoming an increasingly important element of the IT function of most organizations, this chapter presents a state-of-the art review of the key features of cloud computing and its likely near-term and longer-term development trends. It draws on research undertaken from late 2010 through 2011, including a survey of over 1035 business and IT executives and thirty five plus interviews with key international players in the cloud computing ecosystem including cloud providers, system integrators and users of cloud services (see Appendix A for details of the research and methodology).
