Information Technology has always been a concern for the enterprise/organization/firms of any size or magnitude. The concern could be from the point of view of both management and costs. But, the information technology industry has been under many changes, upgradations and shift in the past decade. Most importantly, factors like open-source software, hardware commoditization, workforce globalization, virtualization, and nimble IT processes have helped in the progress of the advancement of business models and new technologies. Firms/organizations/enterprises have been facilitated with a wide variety of choices with respect to how the business infrastructures can be operated, liabilities can be allocated to third-party providers and the provision of saving costs by the process of Cloud computing. Cloud computing as a whole has come to become an intrinsic part of business models and technology, making businesses adapt to new technology strategies for knowledge management. Suitably, the increasing demand for the adoption of cloud computing in industries, new market offerings like producing other cloud service and delivery models have been developed so that cloud computing encompasses all that an industry needs for its Information Technology needs for its effective functioning. This study desires to learn about cloud computing, the process involved in knowledge management and specifically identifying loopholes if any, so that result and action oriented conclusions can be drawn upon and they can be implemented to avoid any discrepancies in knowledge management in future. This paper would also help in the analysis of available cloud computing models in the market and potential future cloud computing trends that are likely to develop in knowledge management. The analysis of cloud computing models has shown IaaS service delivery model is likely to keep losing market share to PaaS and SaaS models because companies realize more value and resource-savings from software and platform services rather than infrastructure. In the near future, we can expect significant number of market consolidations with few large players retaining market control at the end.
