Abstract

Cloud computing is very much accepted and acknowledged worldwide as a promising computing paradigm. On-demand provisioning based on a pay-per-use business model helps reduce costs through sharing computing and storage resources. Although cloud computing has become popular, some business and government organizations are still lagging behind in adopting cloud computing. This study reports the status of cloud utilization among business and government organizations, and the concerns of organizations regarding the adoption of cloud computing. The study shows that some government agencies are lagging behind in cloud computing use, while others are leading the way. Security is identified as the major reason for delay in adopting cloud computing. The outcomes of the data analysis process prove that some security measures such as encryption, access authentication, antivirus protection, firewall, and service availability are required by clients for adoption of cloud computing in the future.
