3CLOUD COMPUTING AND INTERNET OF THINGS IN BUSINESS
Introduction:
Cloud computing under the business scenario is found to be changing the method the IT
practices are done. They are predicted to have the utmost measurable effects on today’s business.
Previously, the organizations have their applications to run on local computers and local servers at
office. Nevertheless, presently this has been permitting the business to gain access into similar type of
applications online. This is from any type of location across the world. Further, the cloud platforms
have helped many businesses irrespective of size and managing the workload in effective way. On the
other hand, the Internet of Things or IoT has been providing the business with unprecedented scope to
collect the data and then automate the processes. This has been providing the scopes to develop new
services and products. Besides, IoT devices have essential effects on business. This also happens in
these cases also that never operate in the technology sector. With artificial intelligence, the IoT has
been changing consumer expectations. Having that, the rise in technology can change the way
business makes the activities forever ("Better on the cloud: IoT, Big Data, and AI", 2019). Here, the
initial uptake of the smart devices interconnected is much slower than it is anticipated. Moreover, the
demands can deploy new pressures on the business. This can deliver the business with latest scopes.
For understanding these two emerging technologies, a couple of case studies are investigated. Next,
various methodologies utilized in these businesses are discussed. Lastly, the findings from the case
study are evaluated.
Investigating case studies deploying cloud computing and Internet of Internet:
The cloud computing is seen as the pool of that virtualizes resource of computing permitting
the users in gaining access to data and applications. This is under the web-based environmental that
are in demand. There are few avenues for the actions that are identified. This is specifically with the

necessity for the culture of cybersecurity. This is developed by developing efficient public-private
partnerships. For instance the case of Australian Institute of Criminology can be considered. Here, the
necessity for the primary regime of Australia is to be reformed for dealing with challenges developed
through cloud computing and necessities for researches of cybersecurity ("Cloud computing:
Challenges and future directions", 2019). This is to seek new ways where the present and security
risks are to be mitigated under cloud scenario. Further, cloud computing is strongly implemented
under the landscape of information technology and the security risks are required to be addressed and
then mapped at various critical stages of developments. On the other hand, Telstra Business &
Enterprise has started to utilize the IoT solutions and platforms and seeing competitive benefits.
Through utilizing the various types of embedded sensors, IoT has been enabling the devices for
collecting, sending and act in autonomous way n the information they achieve from every
surrounding place (Internet of Things - Telstra Business & Enterprise, 2019). Again, their scalable
IoT stack, popular across the world has been supporting numerous systems, helping with everything
to deploy IoT solutions. These all underpinned through the largest of Australia and dependable
mobile networks. They have huge range of serves that involves cloud IoT platforms and providing the
ideal admixture of service for suiting the distinct business necessities having confidence, controls and
choices.
Explaining selected digital methodologies:
For Australian Institute of Criminology, the cloud services are utilized in public, private and
various community-managed hybrid settings as per Cloud Security Alliance 2009 (Liu et al., 2016).
Their privately-hosted cloud services are secured and expensive option than the services utilizing the
setting of shared-memory. Under the managed ad community settings (Rittinghouse & Ransome,
2017). The tenancy has been dedicated an area and IT infrastructure is managed internally and third-

party cloud service providers. On the other hand, Telstra Business & Enterprise has believed that the
technology has the capability to perform wonders. They have successfully made billions of devices
and objects to get interconnected over the Internet. They have made the power grids to playgrounds,
cars to cows, vending machines to overall villages to work together under smart work. For them, the
IoT has assimilated to ability of connectivity with probabilities coming from smart data. Furthermore,
that have promised many scopes for innovations that are driven from insights from data analysis and
different kinds of real-time connectivity. Besides, IoT has permitted to automate and information the
various operations. The models have involved developing efficiency, decreasing costs, developing
customer experiences, creating latest revenue streams and driving innovations (Del Giudice, 2016).
Through connecting many things, Telstra Business & Enterprise can create many methods of
performing business and live life.
Insights into different future trends and technologies:
Current business has been finding many smart methods to accomplish and grow business
goals. Though cloud computing organizations can keep growing in near future. Its various
technologies for the future includes the security and compliance measures, automation, hybrid cloud
solutions and quantum computing. It is reported that public cloud revenue can rise about 17.3%
during 2019 to an overall 206 billion dollars (Chang, 2015). They must have the IaaS or
Infrastructure Services as the quickest rise in market segment of about 27.6% growth. On the other
hand, the IoT would be witnessing a shift from consumer into an Industrial IoT. Again, it can
strategize disaster management and steady and never explosive rise. Besides, there must be Auto-ML
present for the data security and moving beyond the reports towards activities. Lastly, emphasis must
be there for mitigating risks through the requirements and risk and compliances (Uchihira, Ishimatsu
& Inoue, 2016).

Conclusion:
The above study shows how digital has opened the doors for smarter decision-making and
analytics. This can lead the enterprise to obtain, analyse and explore for new insights and concepts for
rising the business. Through offering a matured collection of cloud/IoT an ideal platform for business
can be developed through strategy of transformations. The users of cloud storage can also able to
modify the documents at the same time with other users also. This can make that simpler to work
away from workplace. Again, the gadgets in future can speak to other gadgets with the help of
Internet for the case of IoT.
