Abstract:
Cloud computing is basically an Internet-based network made up of large numbers of servers -
mostly based on open standards, modular and inexpensive. Clouds contain vast amounts of
information and provide a variety of services to large numbers of people. The term cloud
computing is a recent buzzword in the IT world. Though the term Cloud Computing" is recent
but the idea of centralizing computation and storage in distributed data centers maintained by
third party companies is not new but it came in way back in 1990s along with distributed
computing approaches like grid computing. Cloud computing is aimed at providing IT as a
service to the cloud users on-demand basis with greater exibility, availability, reliability and
scalability with utility computing model. The cloud we choose the Open Stack is private Cloud.
The benefits of cloud computing are Reduced Data Leakage, Decrease evidence acquisition time,
they eliminate or reduce service downtime, they Forensic readiness, they Decrease evidence
transfer time the main factor to be discussed is security of cloud computing, which is a risk factor
