Cloud Computing: Trends, Strategies, and Best Practices v1.1

Cloud computing manages information by providing a secure, efficient way of maintaining data, while keeping information accessible. Governmental agencies, nonprofits and the private sector have now incorporated cloud computing use as a best practice. The convenience of keeping data in the cloud frees up space that would otherwise cause uneconomical use of equipment and personnel and unnecessary expenditures to a company's budget.

It discusses how cloud computing has become popular, highlighting the different types of cloud deployments. Included is a discussion of security and threats to security. The course also looks at trends in cloud computing and how the traditional role of IT personnel is being impacted by migration to the cloud.
