Abstract

Cloud computing is not just a new technological phenomenal but the result of different existing technology evolving to make up the foundation of smart computing. The adoption of this technology has provided a great means of achieving efficient and sustainable online cloud services with significant reduction in maintenance cost. Cloud computing is becoming more relevant in Africa and in Nigeria as a whole due to its rapid evolution in the main stream, giving the indigenous IT professionals, government agencies and Large-Scale Organization (LSOs) new business potentials. This work presents analysis of major indigenous cloud computing solution providers with respect to their operations, deployment mode, availability, responsiveness, authenticity, speed, repudiation offer while enlightening users on the provider to select for their various service and creating more awareness about cloud computing in Nigeria.
