This service provides the enhanced productivity and features which is best suitable for the
My Health Record project. It provided very low budget by reducing the cost price and paying
very less whenever required. And gives commitments for the long terms.

2. Solution Cloud-based Review
The most generally utilized arrangements at the present market are arrangements based on
cloud. This arrangement satisfies the prerequisites of the diverse areas of market, for
example, IT advertise, programming advancement and application stage. With the assistance
of this arrangement, for the investigation and enlarge the present capacities and limit of any
prerequisite. The administrations gave by the service of cloud include the different territory
of programming design, servers, coding dialects, and systems administration. These
administrations send request of undertakings that is introduced based on communication and
request. After the assessment and exploration of arrangement based on cloud, the essential
administrations gave to the services of cloud arrangement are the SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.
Sending of these administrations for the project of the 'My Health Record' which will benefit
in dealing with the information and giving the better administrations they can propose to the
clients (Hu & Bai, 2014).
Various Cloud services
1. SaaS (Software as a Service):
The SaaS architecture is responsible to develop the applications for meeting company
requirements. The service provider charge for providing SaaS services. Examples: Salesforce,
Cisco WebEx and Google Apps (Oakress, 2017).
2. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service):
The IaaS architecture is responsible for providing the services that are high-level and also
provide virtual step for providing access to the cloud services.
Examples are: Cisco Metapod, AWS (Amazon Web Services), Google Engine.
3. PaaS (Platform as a Service):
The PaaS architecture is used to offer an efficient platform for developing numerous
applications. The objective of PaaS architecture is to achieve the requirements of service
providers. The services are mainly related to mobile application development (Doelitzscher,
Sulistio, and Reich, 2011).
Examples: Windows Azure, AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Apache Stratos.

The most generally utilized arrangements at the present market are Cloud-based
arrangements. This arrangement satisfies the prerequisites of the diverse areas of the market,
for example, IT advertise, programming advancement and presentation stage. The assistance
for this arrangement, for enlarge and investigating the capacity present and bound of some
prerequisite. The administrations given for the cloud include the different territory of
programming servers, coding, administration of system, and creation.
Strengths of Cloud selected for company
Strengths of cloud castoff for the company is given by:
 Low installation charges.
 Service is not affected by the time as well as location.
 Facility like complaints and others for the good management of the system.
 It has a very good system for recovery.
 Working is smooth due to high resources which are limited.
 Due to no hardware deployment, there is lower maintenance cost.
 It offers flexible and advances services and helps in saving the budget.
Demerits of cloud selected for the comapny
 It requires high quality and speed of the internet connection.
 Application should be supported for the purpose of the quick access deployment.
 It is highly dependent on the software and it has the typical physical structure
management.
 Requirement of professional expertise learning (Ghaffari, Delgosha & Abdolvand 2014).
Privacy and Security requirements for the project of ‘My Health Record’
Security concerns are the main aspects that is to be kept in mind instead of the solution
advantages. So for the project of “My Health Record” the requirements are:
 For the data protection against the denial services.
 For supporting the legal aspects, the contractual agreement use must be taken.
 For maintaining the privacy at high level, instead of using the single cloud, the use of
private and public cloud should be taken.
 To keep safe from the data lost, continuous and proper recovery and backup must be
taken.

 Deployed solution must be evaluated and the vulnerability of documents is to be done.
 Use sign and login policy to decrease the risk of logins.
 Encryption techniques must be used for the more protection on the data (Takabi, Joshi,
and Ahn, 2010).

3. SDLC Approach
It helps in showing signs of improvement lifecycle way to deal with convey cloud-based
arrangement and to assess its execution. This approach gives a grouping of exercises or
procedure with the execution can be effective with the coveted results. The execution of the
arrangement requires a particular worldview with the goal that it workings and show signs of
improvement unwavering quality and versatility. For the best approach for project of the “My
Health Record”. So there are mainly two important approaches (Hacaloglu et al. 2015).
1. ‘Predictive’ SDLC
In this approach incorporates the procedure in which arranging of the usage is completed on
the underlying premise and earlier the improvement of the arrangement. Similar approach is
utilized as a part of the waterfall demonstrate. This ideal is a progression of a persistent
procedure which gives better effectiveness in the advancement and it shows a forecast the
subsequent stage in the waterfall process is:
