CASE STUDY OF WEBB’S STORESIntroductionWebb’s Stores is an Australian regional retailer of foodstuffs. The main data centers of this retailer are in Melbourne and Sydney. The other regional data centers are in Brisbane, Wagga, Auckland, Port Macquarie and Bathurst. They have decided to take cloud computing in their business. The main problem that Webb’s Stores are facing is the operational complexity, application complexity and management of data (Almorsy, Grundy & Müller, 2016). They have thought of closing their data center in Auckland rather than replacing or updating the existing infrastructure. The services and the data are moved to thecloud. They are also planning to run a Risk and Security Workshop to assess the security threats, risks and the probable methods of control required for hybrid cloud.The report outlines the brief description of the case study of Webb’s Stores. It coversthe advantages of migration of data from MS SQL Server 2012 R2 database to IaaS instance in cloud. It also covers the risks that are associated for the migration of data and services with proper details (Garg, Versteeg & Buyya, 2013). The report further describes the utilization of cloud in backup and for the removal of records. The final part of the report gives a description about the procedure of protecting access to the services for moving to the cloud. Proper recommendations are also provided in the report.Discussion1. Migration of Data1.a Type of Security DeployedWebb’s Stores are migrating their data and services from MS SQL Server 2012 R2 databases to an IaaS instance in the cloud. The type of cloud security policy that can be deployed for protecting the critical database after moving to an IaaS instance in a public cloud is the authorization and authentication (Hashizume et al., 2013). Cloud computing is the way of utilizing the network of several remote servers that is hosted to control, store and process data on the Internet. Authentication is the procedure to enable confidence in the identities of the users. The Security Assertion Markup Language or SAML is an open standard data format that are utilized for authentication in cloud computing. Authorization is the permission given to a sanctioned individual or organizational body to access any confidential data or service. Webb’s Stores is dealing with high security data and services. It is evident that the authority will not give permission to access their data and services. The security policy of authentication and authorization will provide them excess security and there will be extremely low chances of the data being hacked (Malawski et al., 2013). Moreover, cloud computing modules are extremely safe and secured and thus it can be claimed that if Webb’s Stores will migrate their MS SQL Server 2012 R2 database to an IaaS instance, they should undertake authentication and authorization security policy. 1.b Benefits and Issues of DeploymentWebb’s Stores is taking authentication and authorization policy for the security of their data in the cloud. They will get several benefits if they will deploy this particular policy in their organization. The main advantages of this policy are as follows:Student NameStudent IDPage 3
