fail” results in 51,400 hits. So, the threat to cloud
computing cannot be ignored. We attempted to
discuss the viability of cloud computing itself and
some solutions and recommendations. There are
several future directions that cloud computing can
take. We provided a description of key aspects of
cloud computing that the future will be focused on.
