Cloud Solutions

Cloud-based computing allows businesses to store and  access large amounts of data over the Internet rather than on in-house  computer hard drives. There are several cloud-based data solutions  currently available in the marketplace.

Using the Argosy University online library  resources and the Internet, research the latest cloud-based data  solutions in the marketplace today. Select at least 2 scholarly sources  for use in this assignment.

Assume you are evaluating vendors providing  cloud-based solutions for your current organization or a hypothetical  organization. Complete the following: 

• Identify three potential vendors.
• Compare and contrast the three different vendors. Be  sure to consider the services, data solutions, and security features  they provide. 
• Based on your analysis, provide a recommendation about which provider or solution you think would work best. 
• Provide a justification explaining why it would be  the best product for your selected business to use (using your current  organization or a hypothetical organization). Support your  recommendation with up-to-date knowledge of business practices and  technology use. Be sure to provide a little background about the  organization to help justify your recommendation.

Utilize at least 2 scholarly sources in support of your assertions.

Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and  organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in appropriate and  accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate  spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 

Write a 3–4-page report in Word format.  Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file  naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.
