Business Process On-Demand; Studying the Enterprise Cloud Computing and Its Role in Green It by Seyed Amir Beheshti Pdf

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1, Vienna University of Technology, course: Business Engineering and Computer Science, language: English, abstract: Climate change and the impact it has on our lives have forced many governmental and also non-governmental organizations to conceive of new rules, regulations, and standards to control CO2 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Calculating the energy efficiency and reducing the electricity consumption in data centers are important steps towards greening the IT in organizations. Several studies have shown that by migrating into the cloud, companies in most cases could reduce their costs in addition to decreasing their greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, lack of guidelines and varying and limited services from different cloud providers, have made the adoption of appropriate Cloud services a challenge for many organizations. In this regard, there is a vital need to study and analyze available services from different cloud vendors and provide enterprises with the best solutions available regarding their specific business requirements. This thesis focuses on cloud computing and its efficiency for individual organizations. It attempts to study the potential benefits of cloud computing by taking the environmental and energy consumption advantages into consideration. Cloud Computing is not a new concept and has been a hype term in recent years. Cloud computing is based on the available technologies and it is all about using a new term for the existing technologies. But the question is why to create a new name for what already exists? The answer to this question is closely related to the potential that Cloud computing has for organizations. It is all about conversion of capital expenditure (CAPEX) to the operational expenditure (OPEX) and the possible advantages that this conversion could have for any organization that choses to migrate into the Cloud.

Transforming Enterprise Cloud Services by William Y Chang,Hosame Abu-Amara,Jessica Feng Sanford Pdf

The broad scope of Cloud Computing is creating a technology, business, sociolo- cal, and economic renaissance. It delivers the promise of making services available quickly with rather little effort. Cloud Computing allows almost anyone, anywhere, at anytime to interact with these service offerings. Cloud Computing creates a unique opportunity for its users that allows anyone with an idea to have a chance to deliver it to a mass market base. As Cloud Computing continues to evolve and penetrate different industries, it is inevitable that the scope and definition of Cloud Computing becomes very subjective, based on providers’ and customers’ persp- tive of applications. For instance, Information Technology (IT) professionals p- ceive a Cloud as an unlimited, on-demand, flexible computing fabric that is always available to support their needs. Cloud users experience Cloud services as virtual, off-premise applications provided by Cloud service providers. To an end user, a p- vider offering a set of services or applications in the Cloud can manage these off- ings remotely. Despite these discrepancies, there is a general consensus that Cloud Computing includes technology that uses the Internet and collaborated servers to integrate data, applications, and computing resources. With proper Cloud access, such technology allows consumers and businesses to access their personal files on any computer without having to install special tools. Cloud Computing facilitates efficient operations and management of comp- ing technologies by federating storage, memory, processing, and bandwidth.

Cloud as a Service by Enrique Castro-Leon,Robert Harmon Pdf

See how the principles of Service Science govern the dynamics driving the adoption of cloud computing in the industry. Cloud as Service shows you how the evolution of enterprise computing platforms to application-specific cloud platforms (ASCPs) have aligned to business needs. You'll also learn processes for developing and building ASCPs. You'll gain insight into how executives, managers, and technologists are utilizing cloud services, cloud service providers, equipment manufacturers, and software and application vendors participating in cloud supply chains. For business, the appeal of cloud computing must go beyond the notion of convenient, on-demand access of networked pooled access to computing resources. Industry leaders have learned to apply cloud computing to become more nimble, cost effective, and customer engaging as they strive for competitive advantage, regardless of size. These companies define and build cloud platforms customized for their needs rather than using someone else’s. This book shows you how to use a holistic, end-to-end view of platform planning, platform development, supply chains and operations to collapse platform development times to a fraction of the original time. You’ll see that strategies for selling to the cloud market are essentially incomplete; and that in order to be successful, businesses must become cloud service businesses themselves, incorporating cloud technologies in their engineering, IT, sales and marketing, and delivery processes. What You'll Learn: Historical perspective to provide insight into the dynamics driving cloud evolution today State of the art in IT requirements and cloud solutions The value of User Experience (UX) driven design principles The crucial roles of Service Brokers and Service Assurance Managers The landscape of emerging cloud services and what they mean to your enterprise Service Portals and Enterprise Service Buses Who This Book Is For: CIOs, CTOs, data center architects, solution architects and application engineers Educational institutions building a systems integration curriculum Developers who want to understand how their work fits in the cloud ecosystem
