摘要：Cloud computing is an IT paradigm that has
progressed successfully in some organizations and enterprises
across the world. Cloud users can leverage on the facilities
available on the cloud to develop and deploy applications.
Cloud providers also have software that can be utilized for
routine services by users already deployed on the cloud. The
services provided by the cloud are scalable and available at a
cost. On the other hand, most organizations have continued to
utilize on–premise infrastructure which some consider cheaper
than migrating to the cloud. Migration to the cloud is believed
to reduce or even eliminate the capital and operational expenses
of an enterprise. This paper examines present trends in the area
of cloud economics and provides a guide for future research.
The study was executed by means of review of some literature
available on cloud economics. In the present work, the objective
is to answer the following question: what is the current trend
and development in cloud economics? The finding is that a
balance of the supply and demand side of economies of scale is
critical to cloud economics. Different pricing methods being
adopted by CSPs is appropriate for the user in terms of choice.
