Cloud Computing Strategy for Metasoft: Architecture and Services

This report assesses the potential benefits of transitioning Metasoft to cloud computing, emphasizing the flexibility and secure data storage it offers. Cloud computing, defined as an IT environment designed for measuring IT resources through remote access, is explored in terms of its features such as ubiquitous network access, on-demand resource sharing, rapid provisioning, and elasticity. The report highlights the advantages of implementing cloud computing, including centralized infrastructure, improved utilization efficiency, easy access, and simplified maintenance. It also delves into cloud architecture, differentiating between the front end (client interface) and back end (cloud infrastructure), and discusses various service models like IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service), providing examples for each. The analysis concludes with a thank you note and a list of references.

CLOUD
COMPUTING

Reason Metasoft should
move to cloud computing
 Cloud computing is basically an IT
environment , designed for measuring
IT resources. This is a network that
provides remote access
of decentralized IT resources.
 The reason I would like to suggest
MetaSoft company to move cloud is
that , they provide flexibility.
 Convenient , Secured data storage.

What is Cloud Computing ?
 Ubiquitous
 Network is shared on demand to a
common pool of computing resources.
 This resources includes storages, servers
application and networks.
 Quickly provisioned and released with
least management service.
 Rapid elasticity(Almorsy, Grundy & Müller,
2016).

Features of Cloud
Computing

Reason to implement Cloud
Computing Centralized
infrastructure with low
cost.
 Improves utilization
efficiency.
 Reliable
 Apps are easy to buy
and payment is based
on consumption.
 Provides easy access.
 No need to install , thus
easy maintenance.

Cloud Computing
architecture
 Cloud architecture – Back end, Front end .
 Front end – Client element of cloud
computing .
 Interface and applications are required ,
example-web browser.
 Back end – Refers to cloud itself.
 Includes security ,services, server(Manvi
& Shyam, 2014).

Cloud
Architecture

IaaS – Infrastructure as a
Service Services are in form of resource.
 Highly scalable and automated.
 Client access through virtual data centre.
 Dynamic and flexible.
 Provides full control over infrastructure.
 Cost varies depending on company
size(Malawski, Juve , Deelman &
Nabrzyski, 2015).
 Example-Rack space, Digital Ocean,
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft
Azure, Google Compute Engine (GCE)

PaaS- Platform as a
Service
 Provides cloud with software.
 Allows creation of customized app.
 Allows easy migration.
 Many users can access the server.
 Databases and web services are
integrated( Masse, Huamonte, Tran & Low,
2017).
 Example- AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku, ,
Google App Engine Force.com, Apache
Stratos, Open Shift

SaaS-Software as a
Service
 Uses internet to deliver applications.
 Eliminates the need to download and
install.
 Remote server acts as a host.
 Software and hardware updates are not
users concern.
 Example-Google Apps, Sales force,
Concur, GoToMeeting, , Drop box.
