GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS USING CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY

Todays’ GIS   have become dependent on the information technologies and communication  (IcTs)  to support procesess  of all gis functions and activities technology acts as a major requisite. Geographical Information Systems or Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) is a collection of   tools that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to geographical locations. Cloud computing One of these technologies   which has changed the ways we exchange GIS information and presentation of this interpreted and analyzed GIS data to the end user or the client. cloud computing has a great role in mounting the heights on which GIS  , Cloud computing has helped the facades of GIS functions particularly in achieving flexibility and efficiency like never before. The GIS   has again played its role in giving new dimensions to these business functions via the Cloud Computing.GIS  applications going to move from the desktop into the  cloud computing, where GIS  applications and geographic  books  are hosted on a “cloud” consisting of thousands of computers and servers this can gain many benefits for GIS  appliacation also faces  many problems such as security .
