Introduction to Cloud Computing

Introduction

Cloud data is an integrated data management system that gives people an internet-accessible remote server where multiple people can access storage from different devices, this creates wider availability for data and centralizes storage. The Cloud first began saw serious expansion in the early 2000s with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) (Maayan, 2021) and a standard encryption algorithm called Data Encryption Standard (DES) (Alemami et al., 2023), but still has concerns that need to be addressed. This paper will go over the history of Cloud storage and its current and future developments, as well as its legal, social, ethical, and security concerns; with researched and emerging systems to mitigate them.
