Cloud computing services, which allow users to lease time on remote computer systems, must be particularly attractive to smaller engineering organizations that use engineering simulation software. Such organizations have occasional need for substantial computing power but may lack the budget and in-house expertise to purchase and maintain such resources locally. The case study presented in this paper examines the potential benefits and practical challenges that a medium-sized manufacturing firm faced when attempting to leverage computing resources in a cloud computing environment to do model-based simulation. Results show substantial reductions in execution time for the problem of interest, but several socio-technical barriers exist that may hinder more widespread adoption of cloud computing within engineering.

Hierarchy Process

Cloud computing has become a popular topic for exploration in both academic and industrial research in recent years. In this paper, network behavior is analyzed to assess and compare the costs and risks associated with traditional local servers versus those associated with cloud computing to determine the appropriate deployment strategy. An analytic framework of a deployment strategy that involves two mathematical models and the analytical hierarchy process is proposed to analyze the costs and service level agreements of services involving using traditional local servers and platform as service platforms in the cloud. Two websites are used as test sites to analyze the costs and risks of deploying services inGoogle App Engine(GAE) (1) the website ofInformation and Finance of Management(IFM) at theNational Chiao Tung University(NCTU) and (2) the NCTU website. If the examined websites were deployed in GAE, NCTU would save over 83.34% of the costs associated with using a traditional local server with low risk. Therefore, both the IFM and NCTU websites can be served appropriately in the cloud. Based on this strategy, a suggestion is proposed for managers and professionals.

Cloud Computing Services

SummaryCloud computing seems to solve many problems of conventional data processing. Due to the flexibility, mobility, and cost savings, users can customize their computing power more efficiently. However, there are also disadvantages. Users in part lose control over their data, e. g. they do not know where, how and under what circumstances their data is stored and processed, or who has access to their data. We describe the benefits and risks of cloud services and their impact on the acceptance and use on the (end-) users. We conclude that trust in cloud computing is a key factor that mitigates risks and can make the use of cloud computing services more effective.

Comprehensive Study

Cloud computing is the way to increase capacity without vital investment in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software [1]. As higher educational sectors are under growing pressure, and to provide more for quality education [2] in the current financial crisis and the increasing need, universities can utilize the potential benefits of cloud computing to provide improved services with few resources [3].This paper presents a comprehensive study on the obstacles and advantages in cloud computing which affected at shifting to cloud computing services in Malaysian universities, and comparison of this present research results with the previous studies.

The selection of cloud computing services requires careful consideration and review. Some aspects of the criteria that must be considered such as direct selection between services that take a long time and need to be done repeatedly. Decision Support System with Weighted Product (WP) method is an effective method because the time needed for calculation is much shorter. The purpose of this research is to apply Weighted Product (WP) method in the decision support system to choose cloud computing services where as a case study is PT Deptech Digital Indonesia, so that it can make it easier for companies to make decisions according to their needs. The calculation results using the WP method give preference to the top 3 services: Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. This proves that research with the WP method can be applied to various services that will be used in the future according to predetermined criteria. Based on these results, the system can recommend cloud computing services according to the needs and a good level of accuracy.

The article analyses the possibility of how Cloud Computing can be used by libraries to organise activities online. In order to achieve a uniform understanding of the essence of technology SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, the article discusses the Cloud Computing services, which can be used for the relocation of libraries to the Internet. The improvement of the general activity of libraries in the digital age, the analysis of the international experience in the libraries are examples. Also the article discusses the results of a survey of the Lithuanian scientific community that confirms that 90% of the scientific community is in the interest of getting full access to e-publications online. It is concluded that the decrease in funding for libraries, Cloud Computing can be an economically beneficial step, expanding the library services and improving their quality.
