Cloud Computing

Chapter 1; Introduction

1.1 What is Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the use of remotely established computer networks that are internet hosted to manage process and store data. This is different from using a personal computer or a personal network. The network relies on the servers to produce consistent data that is similar to the economies of scale and the public utility. As a matter of fats, technology is developing at a high rate, and people no longer require personal computers and networks to access data. Specifically, people who are stationed in remote areas require cloud computing, which consists of the intranet, extranet and the internet to articulate their activities.

Security facing cloud computing has been in question for quite some time. Different researchers have attempted to provide solutions to the problem. Some of the answers found good ground but never became successful due to several reasons. Interestingly, the world is advancing regarding technology and businesses are being driven through the various designed technological techniques with the cloud computing being the central dataset (Chang et al., 2014). Notably, different companies have different information that requires analysis depending on the production systems. However, all these systems require efficiency in the process and perfect security of the data being analyzed. Therefore, companies have to consider the type of data to be examined and the safety of the system before its implementation

1.2 Problem Statement

Cloud computing is no longer safe for business in the contemporary world. Business enterprises have not been able to implement cloud computing in their operations successfully. Cloud computing is faced by various challenges, all of which revolve around trust. Notably, the use of cloud computing mechanisms in the data management is insecure, and companies fear its implementations. Various factors in the environment expose the technology to vulnerability. For example, the cost of implementation is high forcing business entities to try to install standard mechanisms, which in real sense lack proper detection.

1.3 Goal

The goal of this paper is to fully explore cloud computing component and types, and give knowledge to the business on the recommended measures to take when implementing the cloud computing. It is worth noting that the adoption of cloud computing requires people to have basic skills on the type of technology and prior information before considering any of the components. The defined objectives of the paper are to ensure exploration of the risks that the cloud computing is likely to face in the business operation.

Secondly, various questions have emerged around the use of cloud computing in driving business units. People still do not understand how such networks function. Some people are not aware of the different components of cloud computing and what each part is established to articulate. This paper, therefore, aims to give every detail concerning the use of cloud computing, the various appliances that rely on cloud computing to functions and how the whole unit can be established. The knowledge is key to the public who need to know what cloud computing is and why they should consider it in their operations. Most importantly, the paper aims at giving solutions to the attempts that have been made by the scholars and still fail to address the problem. Even though solving cloud computing problems is the central aim of the paper, the various factors that make the technology vulnerable are also discussed.

1.4 Research Questions

I. What are the various components of cloud computing?

II. What is the relationship that exists between clouds computing and the business value?

III. What are some of the measure that can be taken to address the issues of availability, reliability, and trust of cloud computing?

IV. What are some of the challenges facing the different cloud computing components in the various business environment?

V. What are some of the proposed measures to address the challenges and the barriers to implementation of such steps?

Most importantly, the research questions revolve around the business value and how cloud computing influences its establishment. Notably, when cloud computing is carefully implemented, the enterprise is likely to succeed in developing a good value as well as competitive ability in the environment. In every business, the core aim of the management is to become sustainable in the area operation.

1.5 Relevance and Significance

The relevance of a business in any environment is determined by its ability to address the various challenges it faces such as the competition. For a company to build a good reputation, it has to employ technological techniques. Business operations carried out in the current world requires technology to be relevant and successful. Every company has data to manage. Data management also extends to the information flow in the company. Notably, cloud computing has a lot to do with data management, processing and storage hence it is relevant to this study.

Everyone in society is affected by the problem of cloud computing. People have established networks in both their local areas and business enterprises. Any problem in computing experienced in an area will affect the whole area (Barnier et al., 2016). For example, when an internet connection is weak in a field, it will lower the network of the whole area. First, it will reduce the communication system between people at a personal level. It will then extend to affect the operations of the entities around. Remember, communication is an essential component in the people's livelihood in this era. People have to communicate to make inquiries and explore the markets available.

Solving the problem will begin by improving the livelihood of the people at the local level. Secondly, it will function to enhance the data management and processing of the businesses. In the end, it will result in the sustainability of the business entities because the profit margin will be improved. As a matter of facts, the viability of the business entity is developed by the business value.

Chapter 2; Companies Using Cloud Computing KPI’s

The company deals in marketing applications such as web hosting through the internet. The consumers use the apps to create adverts that help companies in gaining fame and access. It also produces block storage applications used in data analysis in the companies.

The company produces both hard and soft drivers serving different functions in the organizations. Notably, companies mostly used soft drivers to analyses information, but the storage is done in the hard drivers.

The consumer of the rock space is also charged and monitored through the world network. The company employs internet majorly in its operations because more significant population use the internet as the cloud computing technique.

Most importantly, all the described companies benefit from cloud computing techniques more so on the marketing of their products. Computers access the world and people are turning into computerized business units. The companies also enjoy some of the benefits such as security, efficiency, and privacy in their operating systems. Unfortunately, the companies are susceptible to various risks as the techniques are not 100% secure.

Chapter 3; Methodology/Approach

The research method is based on the interview of the people who are employing the technique in their operations. However, the interview will be carried online through the networks established by cloud computing. The assessment will be administered to the small and large business entities and results compared.

Cloud computing is organized in different scale; the large and small size. For accuracy, all the units will be assessed. As a matter of facts, the respondents are likely to give positive feedback because cloud computing plays a significant role in their livelihoods. Therefore, the research will narrow down to the negative impacts, the challenges, the measures and attempts to solve the problems. Besides, the scope of the issues will be narrowed down into through different measurement scale with ANOVA as the major component.

Chapter 4: Findings, Analysis, and Summary of Results

For quite some time, companies have tried to improve the security system of cloud computing technologies to solve the issues of trusts that come because of weak security. The security system of the components is likely to influence all an aspect of the cloud computing, for example, the guard will improve the reliability if not the availability. Once people adopt the system, they will develop implement it and adjust it to match their business interests. However, the measures have not been successful due to the various factors that expose the technology to challenges. Some of the weaknesses of the problem are dependent for example availability. Such concepts have to be sorted out as a single unit.

The goal of this research address the research problem which is the insecurity in the systems of the cloud computing units by identifying the various factors that lead to the development of the danger. The research also looks at some of the measures that have been proposed by the scholars to address the problem and their progress. For example, the study looks at some of the issues that hinder the success if the implementation of the solutions that have been brought on board.

The research will add knowledge to the database through exploration of the loophole through the vulnerabilities is established. The study also suggests some of the measures that can be implemented to solve the problem as well as giving alternatives to the implementation of the technology.

4.1 Security and Privacy

Business has failed to have trust in the different cloud computing technique considering the way the issues of security and privacy are addressed. The company requires complete privacy and reasonable protection to carry out their business operations. Technological advancement has dramatically influenced the issue of security. Some of these computing techniques are susceptible to hacking hence the data system is not safe for information storage. Today, cloud computing techniques have enabled the dirty business to take part in the world market for example where different unknown companies use company brand names to make their sales. Some of the various products produced might not be standardized due to technology. The security has to be improved for people to consider implementing cloud computing techniques into their business entities.

4.2 The cost of implementations

Each organization requires specific graphics and type of cloud computing that matches with their operations to successfully help in the data management.'

4.3 Availability and Reliability

Businesses require round the clock services that are efficient enough to maintain their production and operations in the environment. Cloud computing services are never as reliable as their dependent on various factors such as the weather, power and other environmental requirements (Pieczul et al., 2017). For example, when it is raining, the cloud computing networks are affected and often cut short their operations. Again, the different cloud computing components complement and rely on one another. It means, when one component such as the internet fails to effectively function, other components like the intranet will also fail to function.

4.4 Performance and Width Brand

The sustainability of businesses relies on the profit margin. Consequently, the profit margins directly proportionate to the cost of production. Businesses have to lower their cost of production to realize a reasonable profit to run their operations. However, the cost of installing the appliances and cloud computing is high. Most importantly, modification of the appliances to match the organization's performance is expensive. The delivery of vast and complicated data through the network requires a well-established network bandwidth. Some business entities are just waiting for the price of cloud computing installation to get down. However, as things are going, there are low chances of the costs being lowered considering the trend in which the economy is growing.

The above-discussed challenges contribute to the establishment of a roadblock for the application and implementation of cloud computing in the running of business enterprises. Most importantly, the factors that contribute to the insecurity of the data completely nullify the cloud computing consideration.

Cloud computing is an essential component in the functioning of computer appliances at any level. Framework programming encompasses and controls access to the equipment. It oversees and manages a PC's exercises. The functions of the computer have to monitor well. This is because tracing a breakdown in the computer appliance is always tricky. Besides, the cost of repair can never be estimated until the problem is identified. A few kinds of framework programming comprise of script interpretation programs that convert programming dialects into machine dialect that can be comprehended by the PC and utility projects that perform regular handling assignments and processing the data that is obtained. Notably, the computer has three roles to play which complement one another. For example, failure in the data processing section will affect the data analysis and hence storage of the wrong data. Tracing the origination of the fake data will start at the storage section only to realize it is the processor. It wastes both time and resources in doing such activities. The working framework designates out framework assets which are established by the computing components at each section before proceeding to the planning and the utilization of PC assets and PC occupations.

Chapter 5; Conclusions

Implications of Cloud Computing

The implantation of the various computing techniques can result in the development of the business. However, the implementation has to follow a clearly defined procedure to ensure all the components of computing are well implemented in the operations. Notably, the right implementation of the right technique will also result in business failure. It means the company has to choose on the best techniques. Most importantly, each technique applies to different compares depending on the circumstances. Another thing, business has to consider the risks, which cloud computing, exposes them into before they decide on whether to employ the techniques. It is notable that cloud computing will not work for all the companies. The results depended on the implementation procedures and process. There is a need to assess the environment before adopting the implements. There is a need for proper consultation on what components are good to be used by the described units. For example, the local networks require intranet at the expense of the extranet, which might turn to be expensive and incompatible.

Companies Using the Cloud Computing Technique

Recommendation

I recommended the adoption of the internet at the expense of intranet and extranet when designing a perfect technology to be used in the organization. It is necessary to assess the various technological alternatives as well as compare the cost of their implementation before deciding on which cloud computing technique to implement. Notably, clouds computing necessitate some skills that people should learn before adopting it. Most importantly, the data under management should be considered before developing the technology to be implemented.
