For this project, you will be doing some research about companies that offer software and services to their customers via the web. Since these services are hosted on computers other than those belonging to the end user, they are usually referred to as “cloud services.” This is not a new concept –in the early days of computing, many organizations couldn’t afford their own computer, so they employed “time sharing” services that provided software and storage capabilities on remote computers. In a way, cloud services provide the same basic structure, but now offer more services and faster communication speeds.

For full credit on this project, you must include references to your sources of information, and also include a list of the research tools and web sites you used to find this information(e.g., Google, Bing, Yahoo).

Expected project length: 2 to 3pages, single spaced, Times Roman 12–point font. Remember to include your name, the date, and the project number at the top of your project.Save your project as a PDF file and submit upload it to Canvas.
