Question

what is the cloud? In your estimation, how does the cloud fit into enterprise and business in today’s market? When deploying cloud solutions, it is important to ensure that the system’s life cycle development process as well as risk management and disaster recovery have all been factored in these migrations and processes. Outline the strengths and weaknesses for small, medium and large size entities from moving to the cloud. Provide justification for each one of these for and against and utilize research and rhetoric to make your case.

Answer 1

The data in the cloud is accessed online and hence, can be accessed anywhere or at any point in time.
Cloud is of three types: Private cloud which is a dedicated cloud or group of servers for the particular organization. The public cloud which is shared over the internet to all the users. Hybrid Cloud is a mixture of both and it can include customization according to the particular organization.

Cloud helps in such a way that the cost of the hardware devices that are used to run the application is prevented. Hence, the cost of setup and cost of managing these devices are prevented. As a result, companies can save a lot from the cloud infrastructure provided.
The cloud services are secure as the security policies are provided according to the user's roles in the enterprise. The services are easy to expand or reduce.

For Small size entities, while moving to the cloud, since the organization is small the risk management and disaster recovery will be less as the cost of these small organizations will be used in making the setups. System Life cycle development will be less affected as the organization is small and migration is done easily and within time.
For medium-size entities, risk management and recovery will be far better than the small size. System Life Cycle development will be less good as compared to the small organization.
For large size entities, risk management and recovery will be best as the company will invest more in the case of management of the data too. The system development life cycle can be affected during migration.
