Delivering Business Processes

Organisations across the globe are in the middle of a great transformation - from building their own software products or using packaged software for their business processes to utilizing cloud-based applications for their business processes. According to economists, business processes that are available on the cloud should have a very large number of users and should be made autonomous in order to manage it and remain profitable.
Productivity: Does delivering business processes through the cloud really impact the productivity of the client? Cloud service providers and organisations that offer business services from the cloud need to think from such a productivity perspective. If delivering the business services significantly reduces the burden on the client or the users and if it allows them to concentrate on more important functions, then cloud should definitely be considered as an option.
Seamless Integration: Does the cloud application or platform have the ability to seamlessly integrate into the existing tools and processes of the enterprise or the user? Does it require very minor changes to be done on the client or user side - for them to adapt? If yes, then it is good to deliver cloud-based business services. Otherwise, if it is going to make life tougher for the client or create more redundant workload for them, then it is better not to deliver it through the cloud.
Technical capabilities of the end-user: Organic chemists across the globe use specific programs and software to develop and simulate organic models and experiments. These tools and software can be delivered through the cloud. But organic chemists are more comfortable using the existing systems and on-premises tools to carry out their work. Neither are they tech savvy nor do they understand much about cloud-based tools as they have very less connectivity amidst forest areas or huge plantation setup. So, it is not feasible to deliver such applications through the cloud. Hence, the technical capabilities of the end-user also need to be considered before delivering the business services through the cloud.
Other Considerations: If you consider an example of a client having a large website with thousands of pages, it definitely requires a dedicated analytics tool installed on-premises and on the cloud to track and monitor the traffic and other user activities in individual pages. Otherwise, if the website has only a few pages, then Google Analytics available on the cloud by default is more than sufficient. There is no need to use any cloud based service or go for any subscription model for ads. So, based on the client requirements or user requirements, it is better to think through and decide whether to deliver specific business processes from the cloud.

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

Special Permissions in linux

The setuid permission on an executable file means that the command will run as the user owning the file, not as the user that ran the command. One example is the passwd command: [student@desktopX ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/passwd -rw s r-xr-x. 1 root root 35504 Jul 16 2010 /usr/bin/passwd In a long listing, you can spot the setuid permissions by a lowercase s where you would normally expect the x (owner execute permissions) to be. If the owner does not have execute permissions, this will be replaced by an uppercase S . The special permission setgid on a directory means that files created in the directory will inherit their group ownership from the directory, rather than inheriting it from the creating user. This is commonly used on group collaborative directories to automatically change a file from the default private group to the shared group, or if files in a directory should be
