Obstacles for cloud technology

Combining Different Services

The convergence of the three service delivery models - PaaS, IaaS and SaaS seems to be the future of Cloud Computing. By combining SaaS and PaaS delivery models, organisations can build applications efficiently and deploy them quickly to end users. When application developers become increasingly dependent on PaaS tools for building the software, they will ultimately want better control over the underlying infrastructure. Thus, upcoming cloud solutions will focus on satisfying the entire stack of organisational needs.

Obstacles for Cloud Technology-


  • Data security and privacy issues: Moving to the cloud means loss of control over applications and data to a third party provider; thus, issues related to security and privacy are inevitable.
  • Failed adherence to regulatory and compliance measures: Data in the cloud may be stored in a different location for better performance and to avoid localised outages. In such cases, apart from the industry-specific regulations, location-specific compliance measures must also be met.
  • Vendor lock-in: A robust SLA must be established to avoid too much dependence on the cloud service provider.
  • Lack of performance and uptime: Will your applications perform better in the cloud? Is your cloud service provider promising the maximum uptime? These issues must be addressed before moving to the cloud.
  • Network connectivity and bandwidth: Cloud Computing exerts additional pressure on the internet used by the organisation, and bandwidth requirements must be evaluated based on the services used.
  • Dependency on outside agency: The involvement of a third party into the internal operations of an enterprise may sometime cause psychological obstacles for CIOs and IT managers.
  • Knowledge and integration: Cloud migration process must be done through a well-structured procedure which will be explained in detail in the upcoming chapters. With Cloud Computing, the IT department must be prepared to embrace the changes in their roles and responsibilities.
  • • Long-term stability of the service provider: The financial stability of the cloud service provider is an important factor to be considered while choosing one.

The Seven-Step Model of Migration

Irrespective of the migration approach adopted, the Seven-step Model of Cloud Migration creates a more rational point of view towards the migration process and offers the ability to imbibe several best practices throughout the journey Step 1: Assess Cloud migration assessments are conducted to understand the complexities in the migration process at the code, design and architectural levels. The investment and the recurring costs are also evaluated along with gauging the tools, test cases, functionalities and other features related to the configuration. Step 2: Isolate The applications to be migrated to the cloud from the internal data center are freed of dependencies pertaining to the environment and the existing system. This step cuts a clearer picture about the complexity of the migration process. Step 3: Map Most organisations hold a detailed mapping of their environment with all the systems and applications. This information can be used to distinguish between the ...

Cloud Computing architecture

Cloud computing architecture refers to all components and sub-components that together form the structure of the cloud computing system. This architecture can be divided into three parts for better understanding – front end, back end and middleware. Each part of the cloud architecture has its own set of functionalities and protocols that work together to deliver on-demand services to user-facing hardware as well as software. In general, the architecture is evolved out of large distributed network applications over the last two decades. Hence it supports any system where resources can be pooled and partitioned as required. The general cloud architecture is capable of running multiple software applications running on multiple virtual hardware in multiple locations to efficiently render on-demand services to the users. The users could be using these software applications from their desktop or laptop or mobile or tablets. Usually, whatever the user is looking at – through t...

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...
