SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction
The Commonwealth Government of Australia will be launching the ‘My Health Record’
system that is an online platform of sharing the health records of the patients. The project will be
considering a cloud based solution and for that, appropriate cloud vendors are needed to be
chosen. The easy accessibility of the patient’s data is an important criterion of successful project
implementation and therefore it is essential to choose a cloud vendor who will provide a secure
cloud service for this project. Furthermore, it is essential to consider the security of the patients’
data that is stored in the system (Zheng et al., 2013). The report will be addressing three cloud
vendors and will further analyse their suitability for the project. Apart from that, the choice of an
appropriate cloud environment is essential. The choice of the cloud environment will be based on
the criteria of secure data storage and data access. Furthermore, the choice of the SDLC
approach is evaluated as well in order to ensure that the project will be implemented in a
scheduled time.
1. Vendor Solution
Vendor selection is one of the important aspects of this project as the project is
considering the use of cloud in storage of the data. The appropriateness of the vendor selection
will be judged on basis of their key features that addresses the needs of the project. The three
vendors that can be considered for this project are Microsoft, Amazon and IBM. These vendors
are chosen for this project as these cloud vendors are topmost cloud providers across the world.
The features of the services provided by these vendors are discussed in the following sections.
1.1. Microsoft

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The choice of the Microsoft is significant in this case as it provides all in one solution to
the cloud requirements of the clients. Microsoft provides cloud services to the leading countries
across the world. This is because the Microsoft cloud services are offered to IaaS, PaaS and
SaaS. The choice of the Microsoft is appropriate for this project as it offers a number of benefits
to the customers. The features on basis of which the appropriateness of Microsoft for this project
is evaluated are discussed below (Microsoft Azure, 2018)-
1. Since it offers solution to all the three layers of the cloud, it will is considered
appropriate for this project.
2. The services provided by the Microsoft vendor is easily scalable and can be
customized according to the needs of the customers.
3. The Microsoft cloud can be applied and used in a number of operations including the
applications of Io Tans other mobile devices. This is another reason why this cloud vendor is
chosen for this project.
4. Microsoft makes use of the most advanced technologies in providing cloud solutions to
the clients. Therefore, it is beneficial to consider this cloud vendor for the project.
5. A number of business organizations make use of the Microsoft cloud that increases the
reliability of the services offered.
6. The applications that are based on AI are making use of Microsoft cloud that makes it
more suitable for the project in consideration.
