Abstract
Description
Cloud computing is a composite paradigm that provides crucial
services to individuals and organisations over networked infrastructure at a cost.
The Cloud provides custom built applications, made available by a CSP to
customers. Several customers can access an instance of one application. The
Cloud also affords an avenue for customers to build their own application in a
language compatible with a CSP and subsequently deploy that application on
the Cloud. In addition, massive scalable storage and computing devices are
available on the Cloud. A customers expects optimum services whenever and
wherever it is required. Hence, system failure on the part of a CSP must not
affect the services being provided to the customer. This paper examines present
trends in the area of Cloud ownership reliability and provides a guide for future
research. The paper aims to answer the following question: what is the current
trend and development in Cloud ownership reliability? In addition, analysis was
done on existing work published in journals, conferences, white papers and
those published in reputable magazines, to answer the question raised. The
expected result is the identification of trends in Cloud ownership and reliability
which will be of benefit to prospective Cloud users and service providers alike.
