SMEs are considered backbone of Latin American economic region as they represent an overwhelming majority of private enterprises in the region and account for 99% of businesses and employ 67% of employees. One of the elements in which SMEs need assistance is their involvement in the IT enabled services (ITES) both for greater efficiency and optimisation of the economic data. Cloud Computing as a modern concept has commercialised the use of ITES along with sharing of data at a wider scale. Tacit knowledge in the form of data can be easily shared at large scale with the help of cloud computing. While MNCs has started using cloud computing to benefit the organisations, SMEs are far behind in truly understanding the relevance of cloud computing in benefitting business operations. The present study aims to analyse the existing opportunities and then formulate relevant public policies for providing cloud computing services to SMEs of Latin America.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the process of Cloud Computing adoption within Romanian Small and Medium sized Enterprises in the digital age. Most of the scientific papers related to this topic examine the general outlook of cloud computing implementation in Romania and focus on the use of the afore-mentioned technologies by large scale companies. In order to identify the factors that have an influence over the choice of Romanian SMEs to adopt cloud computing technology, a conceptual model has been set forth. The model’s dependent variable is the choice of the company’s management to implement cloud computing technologies. Five different independent types of variable structures which have an effect on the adoption of cloud computing within SMEs were identified. The five categories of variables are competition & government, ICT providers & firm departments, employee, manager and technological factors. Each of these categories of determinants encompasses at their turn two or more constructs. An online survey tested the model based on the responses of managers and directors from 198 Romanian SMEs from the cities of Bucharest and Cluj. The validity of the model was performed by completing factor analysis and reliability tests of the data; a logistic regression analysis was deployed to test the research hypotheses. The results emphasized that the managers’ know-how on cloud computing and the perceived costs of implementing the technology represent the main components influencing the spreading of cloud computing among Romanian SMEs. This study makes a valuable contribution to the academic environment but to businesses as well. The model can be used to examine the implementation of different innovative applications. Companies which offer cloud computing services could take advantage of the outcomes of this study to expand the degree of cloud service introduction among SMEs.

Private Cloud Computing

Analyzing compute functions by utilizing the IAAS model for private cloud computing services in packstack development is one of the large-scale data storage solutions. Problems that often occur when implementing various applications are the increased need for server resources, the monitoring process, performance efficiency, time constraints in building servers and upgrading hardware. These problems have an impact on long server downtime. The development of private cloud computing technology could become a solution to the problem. This research employed Openstack and Packstack by applying one server controller node and two servers compute nodes. Server administration with IAAS and self-service approaches made scalability testing simpler and time-efficient. The resizing of the virtual server (instance) that has been carried out in a running condition shows that the measurement of the overhead value in private cloud computing is more optimal with a downtime of 16 seconds.

Computing Platforms

Traditionally, computational needs of organizations were alleviated by purchasing, updating and maintaining required equipments. Beside expensive devices, physical space to hold them, technical staffs to maintain them and many other side costs were essential prerequisites of this matter. Nowadays with the development of cloud computing services, a huge number of peoples and organizations are served in terms of computational needs by large scale computing platforms. Offering enormous amounts of economical compute resources on-demand motivates organizations to outsource their computational needs incrementally. Public cloud computing vendors offer their infrastructure to the customers via the internet. It means that the control of customers’ data is not in their hands anymore. Unfortunately various security issues are emerged from this subject. In this paper the security issues of public cloud computing are overviewed. More destructive security issues are highlighted in order to be used by organizations in making better decisions for moving to cloud.

Definition Of

Even though cloud computing, as a model, is not new, organizations are increasingly implementing it because of its large-scale computation and data storage, flexible scalability, relative reliability, and cost economy of services. However, despite its rapid adoption in some sectors and domains, it is evident from research and statistics, that security-related threats are the most noticeable barrier to its widespread adoption. To investigate the reasons behind these threats, the authors used available literature to identify and aggregate information about IS security threats in cloud computing. Based on this information, the authors explored the dimensions of the nature of threat by interviewing a cloud computing practitioner in an organization that uses both the private and public cloud deployment models. From these findings, the authors found that IS security threats in cloud computing must be defined at different levels; namely, at the business and technical level, as well as from a generic and cloud-specific threat perspective. Based on their findings, the authors developed the Cloud Computing Threat Matrix (CCTM) which provides a two-dimensional definition of threat that enables cloud users to fully comprehend the concerns so that they can make relevant decisions while availing cloud computing services.
