Abstract
Cloud computing is a new way of integrating a set of old technologies to implement a new paradigm that creates an avenue for users to have access to shared and configurable resources through internet on-demand. Cloud users are expected to increase exponentially in the future. In order to prepare for this stipulated increase, analyses of various factors have to be considered to ensure that cloud clients get the best out of the services offered by cloud providers. Amongst these factors, the ones that ensure successful implementation and adoption are of great importance to help cloud users make informed decisions that will have positive impact on their performance. Though, factors responsible for cloud computing success are inexhaustible, this paper presents some of the factors: ability to access and manage risk, performance, privacy, security, and financial issue.
