CLOUD COMPUTING2Question 1a. According to ICT experts, the future of information technology will be based onvirtualization technologies that will deliver services and resources to users throughworldwide connections. Cloud computing is an active member of this vision as provide ITresources to users based on a lease model that is supported by service providers. Furthermore,the technology provides many services that increase its diversification quota[ CITATION Bel16 \l 2057 ]. Cloud computing is further classified into three major categories:Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) – a service model that leases infrastructureresources to consumers such as processors, storage and servers.Software as a service (SaaS) – the second model that offers applications asservices through browser e.g. emails.Platform as a service (PaaS) – the final model that offer software developmentplatforms[ CITATION Harng \l 2057 ].Benefits of employing cloud computing in business:Cost savings as the business does not acquire or install new ICT equipment.The flexibility of the services, because they are accessed from any locationand using any device.Service automation – both customers and employees can adequately servethemselves without technical help[ CITATION Que12 \l 2057 ].b. According to Amazon (2017), its cloud services are designed to provide customizablesolutions to users. In fact, the Amazon Web Services are dynamic in nature having anemphasis on user’s privacy, governance and security. Therefore, a business can acquire the

Now, based onthe existing business structure, the business is expanding business while facilitating theexisting stores with their business operations. This outcome can be achieved by integratingthe AWS system with the existing infrastructure through a hybrid model. In essence, AWSwould offer the means of accessing resources by migrating the existing IT components to itscloud resources. Moreover, to start with, the subscribing organization would only migrate theless sensitive resources such as management systems which include enterprise resourcessystems and account systems. Furthermore, these resources would then use the data held inthe organization’s data centre (in-house facilities). This integration method would be lessrisky and would optimise all the resource available[ CITATION Ama171 \l 2057 ].c. Simple bursting architecture would be used.This design structure is commonly known for implementing hybrid models as it combines theresources owned by an organization (on-premise) with those of a service provider. In theoverall structure, the organization is assumed to be on one extreme end having the need forresources. These resources are then set-up on one section where the on-premise infrastructureacts as an intermediary component serving the business. Now, the sensitive content e.g.customer data is stored in the internal servers while access systems are migrated to the cloud.Moreover, a link is formed between the two resources to supplement each other beforereaching the end user (the business). The structure facilitates better security features as theorganization can implement the necessary protocols at the on-premise structure, beforereaching the users. Further, this architecture has minimal risks as the business has multipleresources hosted in different locations [ CITATION Ngi15 \l 2057 ]..
