Abstract
Cloud computing has emerged since almost a decade as a paradigm for hosting and delivering services over networks. A growing number of business owners and organizations worldwide has adopted Cloud computing as it enables users to access a scalable and elastic pool of data storage and computing resources, as and when required. To build cloud based architectures, virtualization should be ensured as well. It plays a key role for providing flexibility and consolidation of the underlying resources. Despite the cloud computing is witnessing a fast and wide spread across the globe, this technology is not as trendy for some other states, especially for developing countries. The purpose of this theoretical study is to explore a new way for developing countries to benefit from cloud computing use cases and to deal with its challenges and obstacles.
