Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm in health care information technology strategies and the growth of the industry. Despite reports emerging as early as the 1950s hinting at the potential of this approach, the strength of this is only now being realized in the health care sector. This is a simple principle of service-orientated architecture delivering a service around data rather than a product. The main enabling technology for cloud computing is virtualization. Virtualization is the ability to allow the system to operate independently of the hardware from the cloud via the Internet, so one can provide information to other users of hardware or software. In addition, resources can be shared within and between organizations to improve economies of scale. Data can be transferred in a computer network that is able to compartmentalize your needs.
