Abstract

With the technological advancement in the current era, smart devices have been involved in every sector of human life such as industries, hospitals, institutions, and homes. This massive usage of smart devices has caused an increment in data generation. High-performance computing (HPC) is required to deal with this huge amount of data. Now, it is very costly for small industries and laymen to purchase such types of high-performance computing systems. For this reason, cloud computing is the best cost-effective solution to solve this high-performance computing requirement. In this paper, the authors concentrated on different aspects of cloud computing, a distributed architecture to perform as the centralized server resource on a scalable platform to deliver on-demand computing resources and services. This research paper presented a short overview of cloud computing deployment models, cloud types, cloud services, and the primary security threats and challenges plaguing the cloud computing sector.
