Cloud computing is an alternative way of accessing, processing, storing, sharing and managing large volumes of data via the usage of servers hosted on the internet. With the growing need of companies to provide access to data resources, store and manage data, cloud computing alleviates the need for companies to be solely responsibility for these tasks. Installing computer applications (for resource accessibility) to users without the usage of cloud computing will ultimately be the sole responsibility of a company. With the growing need of resource accessibility, this can become a challenging and stressful task for a company to maintain. Cloud computing alleviates the need for businesses to maintain storage of large volumes of data. Cloud computing allows access to servers, which are maintained by the internet with the capability of supplying storage for data, shared access to resource information and speedy access to data information.

Other trending alternative to assist in alleviating data challenges is the convergence of computing and telecommunications and green computing. Convergence of computer and telecommunications provides video conferencing capabilities, while green computing allows access to virtual servers, power management, and reduces the need for printing.
