Module 3 Assignment

Performance is a critical component of system design requirements. As a company begins to add applications and services to its current system, its performance results will vary. To mitigate issues, a company must first establish a baseline, identify system performance metrics, and then monitor tasks and activities against the baseline.
To complete this assignment, answer the following questions in a minimum of 3 pages (not counting title page and references page):

• What are three system performance metrics that should be measured before a company implements a cloud-based system?
• What are three cloud-based system metrics often cited as a competitive advantage among vendors?
• What are two benchmarking tools that can be used to evaluate cloud-based and non-cloud-based systems?
• When and how often should a cloud-based system be tested?

Use APA formatting style (title page, references page, and in-text citations).
