Cloud Computing Strategy for VideoDev: A Detailed Report

This report analyzes the implementation of cloud computing for VideoDev, a video and production development company operating in Australia and New Zealand. The company is considering migrating its computer infrastructure to the cloud to enhance flexibility, responsiveness, and reduce costs. The report explores the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing models such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), with a specific focus on PaaS for VideoDev. The report assesses the company's current infrastructure, including application servers and video processing capabilities, and recommends the best cloud solution, including the use of Amazon Workspaces. It also addresses the challenges of backlog, data security, and vendor dependency. The report provides detailed recommendations on how VideoDev can leverage cloud computing to improve its productivity, reduce capital expenditure, and enhance its customer base. The report also considers the benefits of a Standard Desktop Operating Environment (SDOE) and outlines the necessary steps for implementation, including planning, model design, building, testing, and deployment.

Implementation of Cloud
Computing in VideoDev

Introduction
Video Dev provides video
and productions across
Australia and New Zealand
The cloud based system
will help in the
automation, email services
and also storage of online
files.

What is Cloud Computing
 Cloud Computing allows companies to store their confidential and
valuable data to cloud based storages using the internet and many
applications used by the company can be stored in the cloud and
used without even installing it in every computer of the organization.
 Due to the adaptation to cloud based system, the cost decreases
while the security and flexibility of the system increases.

Deployment models of cloud
computing
I. Community Clouds
II. Hybrid Clouds
III. Public Clouds
IV. Private Clouds

Types

Several aspects of Cloud Computing
 The basic concepts of cloud computing includes four main parts
which VideoDev needs to understand before implementing the
one which bests suits their purpose – Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service
(SaaS) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS).
 IaaS – Cloud hosting is generally done here and a computer
infrastructure, a virtualized version, is used.
 PaaS – Deployment of application testing and also support of
web-applications.
 SaaS – Deployment and testing of the softwares, usually paid
one with the use of internet.
 DaaS – Modified version of the SaaS and allows the access of
multiple applications at the same time.

Advantages of Adopting Cloud Computing
 One of the main problems with VideoDev is the failure of many
pending tasks due to the absence of adequate databases in the
company datacenters. If VideoDev moves their platform into the
clouds, the rate of their efficiency in making production and
videography development will enhanced to a biggest extent.
 Entire database and applications will be stored in the cloud servers
and as a result the staff of VideoDev can access them from anywhere
and the video processing softwares will also be updated (Almorsy,
Grundy & Müller, 2016). Along with this, the security of the data will
be maintained using cloud computing models.

• Scalability, mobility and
Flexibility
• Ensures Business Continuity
• Reduced Capital Expenditure

IaaS vs. PaaS
 IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service arrange for information, network, hardware and
equipment for the operations. The organization opting this service only needs to
maintain the hardware and all the devices to keep running the service. This will
allow the organization to work from any geographical location without even
installing any software in a system.
 PaaS – Platform as a Service delivers both the hardware and software based
support for the organization and the employees does not need to adopt or install
any software or hardware in order to access or work on any data located into the
cloud server.

•PaaS as a services are included in
the .net,linux,j2EE
IaaS are included the storage
device service (Sari, 2015).
•PaaS are Rack space cloud sites.
IaaS are cloud server
•Example is Microsoft Azure
(PaaS)
IaaS are Amazon EC2
•PaaS is the Google app engine
IaaS are attenda RT1
