Cloud Computing: A Survey on its limitations and Potential Solutions

Cloud computing has brought a new paradigm shift in technology industry and becoming increasingly popular day by day. The small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are now adopting cloud computing in much more higher rate than large enterprises.
