Cloud Computing Application in Regional Garden

Regional Gardens Ltd Company is required to change their existing platform to cloud platform because it will give the company a wide storage area to store their confidential information. It gives high security to the storage to avoid unwanted data access. During any operation if any information found to be lost then that can be recovered easily due to the availability of data backup and disaster recovery capability. The company should adopt the IaaS platform, for improving their business performance. It also helps to extend the structure of current datacenter.

Introduction
• Regional Gardens Ltd Company runs numbers of
related gardening enterprises. It has large display
garden which is completely open for the public. It
also has a nursery which sells plants and other
gardening equipments to the willing consumers. Not
only this but also a garden planner is there who, gives
advice to the consumers about gardening.

Introduction (contd.)
• The company has a small data center to manage the
selling and buying information in details. With
changing time phase, the number of consumers of the
company is also increasing accordingly, who are
required to be managed properly. In order to manage
them the company is require changing their
operational platform from the exiting one to the cloud
one. The current architecture used by the company
has the following features.

Explanation of the concept of cloud
computing
• Cloud computing is referred to as a
technology of distributed data
processing system that hold certain
scalable data resources.
• It provides high level service to
multiple consumers by using the
application of internet service.

Explanation of the concept of
cloud computing (contd.)
It also gives three of these below
mentioned features to those
companies who are willing to
adopt this application. The
features are as follows:
• Application resilience
• Data backup
• Disaster recovery

Why to migrate to Cloud
platform
• The company is required to change their existing
platform to cloud platform because it will give the
company a wide storage area to store their
confidential information.
• It gives high security to the storage to avoid
unwanted data access.
• During any operation if any information found to be
lost then that can be recovered easily due to the
availability of data backup and disaster recovery
capability.

Why to migrate to Cloud platform
(contd.)
• It also reduces the total cost of the business and
operational functionalities.
• It is not at all time consuming than the previous
platform
• It gives wider range of data access ability to the users
• None of the unauthorized users will be access
information from the data server .

Explanation of different cloud
architectures
• The 3 different cloud architectures are as
follows:
• IaaS
• PaaS
• SaaS

Difference between the cloud
architectures

Selection of the most suitable
cloud architecture

Selection of the most suitable cloud
architecture (contd.)
• Among three of these architecture
the Regional Gardens should
migrate to the IaaS platform.
• After analyzing the background of
two of these cloud architectures, it
can be said that the company
should adopt the IaaS platform, for
improving their business
performance. It also helps to extend
the structure of current datacenter.

Advantages of the IaaS architecture
• This platform offers controlling
ability over the virtual machines
all the applications stored within
it.
• Within the VM, the customer
can run any application they
want. It can simplify the
infrastructure of the enterprises
with proper integration.

Advantages of the IaaS
architecture (contd.)
• As it offers a better control over
the VM thus the level of security
is also very much high in case
of this application.
• Due to simplicity in application
and user friendly nature of IaaS
the users will be able to run all
the desired applications with a
minimum development cost and
a minimum maintenance cost.

Disadvantages of the IaaS
architecture
• This is the most expensive platform, because the
consumers are now leasing a tangible resource. The
providers are allowed to charge for each and every
cycle.
• The consumers of the company are responsible to
manage information as a backup and even for all other
components of VM management, the consumers are
responsible.

Conclusion
From the overall discussion it can be conclude that in
order to resolve the identified issues the company
should migrate their platform to cloud to give easy
access to all the staffs. It will reduce the total
expenditure of the company and the application time
will also be reduced accordingly. t is expected that
after the adoption o this platform the compan will be
able to gain high measurable success from the
owner’s end.
