Introduction
Cloud computing refers to on-demand accessibility of computer resources which involves
computing power along with data storage without having any direct management by user.
Basically, it involves delivery of hosted services through the usage of internet (Li and et. al.,
2018). Unified process denotes incremental as well as iterative software development process
framework. This report is based on Cake Franchise System as there are around 300 stores of cake
around New Zealand and Australia. This report comprises of cloud based solutions along with
agile methodologies which can be utilised within proposed system.
Cloud Based Solution
Illustrate different aspects along with their strengths & weaknesses for cloud based solution with
respect to environment for Cake Franchise System.
The on demand services, storage, computer networks, resources or applications that are
being accessed through internet and via other provider's shared cloud computing infrastructure is
referred to as cloud based solution. This leads end users as well as organisation to have enhanced
capacity, functionality, scalability as well as minimised maintenance and overall cost associated
with this. The major aspects of cloud computing which can be utilised by Cake Franchise System
are illustrated below: Resource Pooling: This denotes when Cake Franchise system will make use of cloud
based solution then higher computing resources can be utilised through this, that will aid
multiple customers. It will aid Franchise to assign as well as reassign resources as per
requirements (Böse and Rockenbach, 2018). On-Demand Self-Service: This is valuable and essential feature of cloud computing as
this will enable them within monitoring capabilities, server uptime along with network
storage which is being allotted. It will allow Franchise to expand their storage space and
have additional features to ensure that the major problem which is sharing of information
can be resolved. Large Network Access: The employees can have access to data which is being present on
the cloud as well as upload it from any location by making use of internet connection and
a device. This means that the problem of geographic locations can be eliminated as still
operations can be carried out by being within the network.

 Automatic System: Cloud Computing will be able to automatically identify information
which is needed as well as is liable for supporting metering capabilities at some level.
This will assist Franchise within monitoring, controlling as well as reporting its usage. It
enables them to have transparency among different outlets. Security: This acts as one of the best feature which is apt for Franchise to ensure that
they are able to retrieve data as it is and is not accessed by anyone else (Singh, Jeong and
Park, 2016). Here, the snapshot of data is being created so that in any case if server gets
damaged still then data can be restored.
 Measured services:The cloud computing resources are being utilised for monitoring
which can be utilised by Franchise system to analyse the charge-per-use abilities.
These aspects will aid Cake Franchise System to have impelling impact and the major
problems which are being faced by them can be eliminated in an appropriate manner. Like as
traditional methods are being used then it becomes difficult for sharing the data but when cloud
is being utilised it will aid each outlet to have information from all that might lead them to have
affirmative results. An instance can be taken with respect to this like gluten free pancakes leads
to minimisation or control within celiac diseases. This implies that when this data is being
possessed by all the cake manufacturers then they can provide people of country with healthy
life. But it is not possible to communicate this data by phone calls or any other method as this
will be costly to go to 300 outlets across the country and share peculiar information. Different
types of cloud computing are illustrated below:
Public Cloud: When computing infrastructure is present on premises of cloud computing
firm which renders services. This denotes that individuals do not have physical control on the
infrastructure. The deployment model renders infrastructure as well as services to business who
tends to save cost associated with IT operational cost as it will be liability of cloud provider
(Sabi and et. al., 2016).
Strengths: High Scalability: They assist businesses to evolve at higher speed and in case of local
data centre it is not possible. With respect to this, Franchise can develop their virtual
machines which can be scaled as well as shut down at any instant. This implies that it will
enable to scale through which needs can be addressed.
