Introduction
 This research project has been about cloud
computing and cloud migration process, a
detailed plan of which has already been
developed.
 First, a detailed research plan has been
developed for the purpose of research on
the cloud computing technology and cloud
migration.
 The review process will be undertaken by
taking back up from literature that has been
used previously in this project.

Cloud Computing
 Cloud computing is a new online
technology that has taken the computing
world by storm after it was developed
and released for use.
 The basic idea of the cloud computing is
to store huge amount of data in an online
non-physical storage space instead of
physical storage devices like CD, DVD,
flash drives and others.

Cloud Computing (Contd.)
 with further advancement of cloud computing
technology, the cloud can now also be used for
data processing and management making the
technology an essential requirement for all large
and medium business organizations that involve
the working of a large number of employees.
 Cloud computing services can significantly
reduce the overall operation time for any
business related activities by increasing the
computing efficiency and also removes all the
errors that might be caused by the manually
managed system.

Cloud Computing (Contd.)
 In spite of the massive success of the
cloud computing technology in the
business world, it has a large number of
limitations and issues that have not been
completely solved yet.
 Since the entirety of the data in the cloud
is hosted and stored online, it is much
easier for the hackers to break into the
server and steal confidential and high
value information.

Cloud Computing (Contd.)
 The security of data stored in cloud must be
considered with top priority before
completing migration into the cloud.
 Migration means the entire data and
information stored by the organization in
the server will be migrated to the cloud
through online transmission.
 This is very much popular among the
business organizations that frequently
migrates the data into the cloud through
the online transmissions.

Cloud Computing (Contd.)
 The main security system of the cloud is
basically based on encryption technology.
 Every piece of data in the cloud must be
locked into such strong encryptions such
that it is not very easy to break them and
gather information from them.
 Data encryption is also necessary during
the transmission phase when the data is
transferred from the system to the cloud.

Cloud Computing (Contd.)
 It is to be noted that cloud computing is a
revolutionary technology and is also
consistently evolving at a fast pace with
more benefits being added within.
 Some benefits recently added to cloud
computing include business analytics,
media file hosting for streaming websites,
integration with smartphone applications
to reduce the need to capturing large
amount of spaces in the mobile phone
and others.

Research Questions
 What is the need for migration in cloud?
 What are the benefits of cloud migration?
 What are the issues associated with
Cloud Migration?
 What are the recommendations for
ensuring secure Cloud Migration?

Research Timeline

Conclusion
 The main focus of this research project is
on cloud computing and cloud migration.

amount of knowledge regarding the
technology.
 For this purpose, throughout the course
of the research, significant amount of
data has been collected from various
sources in order to reach certain
conclusions.
