Cloud
computing is defined as a term in which anything is
involved in order to deliver traditional hosted services over internet. This
name ‘cloud computing’ is designed by the cloud symbol that is used to
represent the internet in flowcharts and diagrams.
Many people believe that the idea
of cloud computing is the next big thing, but it is itself as old as the
computer. Information systems Professor Ramnath Chellappa first introduced the
term ‘cloud computing’ in 1997, but the concept was born in 1960s. Over a few
years, companies and organization started to change the hardware to cloud
services to get benefits from reducing the capital costs and easing in IT
staffing issues. Carbon Disclosure Project report states that companies and organization
that acknowledge cloud computing operations not only benefits on reducing
capital cost but also help in shrinking energy consumption and carbon emissions.
By the year 2020, it is estimated that cloud operations will save upto $12.3
billion in energy costs plus 200 million barrels of oil.
Now in Australia, Cloud Computing is found to be growing
significantly in the global ICT industry. The business services of cloud
computing is benefitting locally or in global markets. Many business companies
start to transform their use of technology to improve on ICT users and the organization’s
efficiency and effectiveness. Similarly, cloud computing supports Australian
ICT sector to maximize the industry development opportunity to take place.
Because of Australian government strong potential and strengths of stable
political, financial, legal and regulatory environment help to move towards
success for local industry and establish ICT industry profile as a leading
Cloud computing provider. Due to this success, companies can be benefit from
various ways that include the potential for significant foreign direct
investment, high‐value jobs creation and increased national productivity.
