Cloud Based Infrastructure for MetaSoft

MetaSoft, a software development company in Australia and New Zealand, is considering moving its computer infrastructure to the cloud. This presentation discusses the main concepts of cloud computing and recommends an IaaS approach for MetaSoft due to its security and improved business continuity and disaster recovery plan.

CLOUD BASED
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR
METASOFT

Introduction
 A Software development Company
MetaSoft works for the clients across
Australia and New Zealand.
 The company is considering to move
its computer infrastructure to cloud
to increase the flexibility and
responsiveness of the work
processes.
 The presentation aims in providing
an appropriate cloud solution for

Main Concepts of Cloud
Computing
 Cloud computing is a model that
enables an ubiquitous access in
sharing computing resources
(Azodolmolky, Wieder & Yahyapour,
2013).
 It is a practice of making use of a
network of remote servers that are
hosted over internet.
 Cloud computing enables delivery of
the information technology and

Cont..
 MetaSoft plans to infuse cloud computing
in their daily operations.
 Cloud computing provides a cost
effective solution to the clients (Arora,
Parashar & Transforming, 2013).
 It provides a secure computing solution
to the client. It enables remote data
access and data transfer.
 IaaS, PaaS and SaaS are three significant
cloud service.

Cloud Architecture for
MetaSoft
 The cloud architecture
that will be suitable
for MetaSoft are as
follows (Kavis, 2014)-
 IaaS or Infrastructure
as a Service
 PaaS or Platform as a
Service
 SaaS or software as a
Service

Cont..
 IaaS provides an infrastructure that
provides a virtualized computing
resources over internet.
 PaaS provides a platform for
deployment of cloud services
(Avram, 2014).
 SaaS provides a subscription based
model for cloud deployment.

Recommended Solution
 An IaaS appraoch is recommended
for MetaSoft.
 This is because IaaS has a number of
advantages, security being the most
significant one (Jain & Paul, 2013).
 It has an improved business
continuity and disaster recovery plan
that will be beneficial for MetaSoft.

Conclusion
 The presentation recommends a
solution for MetaSoft to adopt the
IaaS approach to cloud.
 This will provide the organization
with an improved accessibility of the
resources that will be stored in cloud.
 The IaaS approach is the most secure
infrastructure and therefore it is
recommended for MetaSoft.
