ABSTRACT: Developments in service oriented architecture (SOA) have
taken us near to the once fictional dream of forming and running an online business,
such commercial activity in which most or all of its commercial roles are outsourced
to online services. The novel concept of cloud computing gives a understanding
of SOA in which Information Technology assets are provided as services that are
extra flexible, inexpensive and striking to commercial activities. In this paper,
we concisely study developments in concept of cloud computing, and debate the advantages
of using cloud services for commercial activities and trade-offs that they have
to consider. Further we presented a layered architecture for online business, and
then we presented a conceptual architecture for complete online business working
atmosphere. Moreover, we discuss the prospects and research experiments that are
ahead of us in realizing the technical components of this conceptual architecture.
We conclude by giving the outlook and impact of cloud services on both large and
small businesses.
