Abstract
Became exponential growth in the volume of data and information limits the ability of

companies to manage this data and information and control effectively, and with continued high
storage costs make the companies having problems retrieving data and the preparation of backup
copies, in addition to the high prevalence of information technologies evolving almost daily

affect the efficiency and productivity Business. Therefore, companies seeking and businesses at
the present time to achieve the highest return on technology investments, through the planning

and implementation of virtualization technologies, and cloud computing in order to protect and
manage data more effectively and efficiently.

This research aims to address these items discussion and analysis: concepts of cloud computing,

the characteristics of cloud computing, the benefits and constraints of the use of cloud computing,
cloud computing services, models of cloud computing, the possibility of applying IT cloud
computing in e-learning Qassim University , Conclusions and Recommendations .
