Simulation Results

The authors present the key security challenges and solutions on the Cloud with the help of literature reviews and an experimental model created on OPNET that is simulated to produce useful statistics to establish the approach that the Cloud computing service providers should take to provide optimal security and compliance. The literature recommends the concept of unified threat management for ensuring secured services on the Cloud. Through the simulation results, the authors demonstrate that UTM may not be a feasible approach to security implementation as it may become a bottleneck for the application Clouds. The fundamental benefits of Cloud computing (resources on demand and high elasticity) may be diluted if UTMs do not scale up effectively as per the traffic loads on the application Clouds. Moreover, it is not feasible for application Clouds to absorb the performance degradation for security and compliance because UTM will not be a total solution for security and compliance. Applications also share the vulnerabilities just like the systems, which will be out of UTM Cloud’s control.

Perspective Analysis

In recent days cloud computing and cloud-based service, provisions play a vital and significant role in Internet-based information computing. It interrelates various applications like sales, purchase, banking, customer service, etc. and it behaves entirely as a service-oriented platform or environment. The primary objective of the cloud computing is sharing the resources within increased efficiency regarding time and cost for all kind of customers who needs a cloud service badly and immediately. Though the energy is high, it cannot assure that the cloud computing, service providing, and customer maintenance are highly secured. Service providers in the cloud are not strictly public; it may be private, community and hybrid. Malicious activities can be created or occurred in the middle of the communication and it is difficult to predict a particular person in the middle becomes a malicious user, from where and how. Secured data transmission and discussion in cloud computing considered as the main problem, and various earlier research works focused on tightening the security. The primary objective of this paper is to discuss different security mechanisms applied to multiple malicious threats in the cloud to understand the various issues and challenges faced in earlier research works. It provides a summary of the risks, appropriate method and the limitations and it helps to understand the primary and main problems related to security.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain the role of trust in cloud computing services based on empirical evidence from interviewing executives of financial institutions in Ghana. The paper answers the questions: what is the role of trust in cloud computing service acquisition, and what policies promote trusted cloud computing services? Design/methodology/approach – This is an explanatory paper that is based on literature review and empirical data on exploring reasons for cloud computing service acquisitions. A combination of interviews and focus group discussions was used as methods for data collection. Information technology and electronic banking executives of five major commercial banks in Accra, Ghana, between January and July 2013 were interviewed. A total of ten respondents were interviewed, two in each of the selected banks. A purposive sampling technique was used in the selection of informants. This approach allows the selection of qualified informants to ensure extensiveness and diversity of opinion. Findings – Although previous literature proffers various factors as key to cloud computing adoption, uses or provisioning, this study brings trust to the fore as an imperative for cloud computing service acquisition by financial institutions. It also shows that trust increases if users perceive that cloud computing service providers act in honesty and in users’ interest, making trust a fundamental factor that informs financial institutions’ decision to acquire cloud computing services. Research limitations/implications – The research introduces a new dimension about the widely held perceptions of the factors that influence adoption of cloud computing services. Practical implications – Developers of cloud computing solutions that are targeted at corporate users must focus on systems that enhances their trustworthiness, as it is a primary criteria for user buy-in. Similarly, any trust-building effort by cloud computing service providers minimizes users’ concerns and pushes the services providers closer to the trust threshold. Originality/value – The paper outlines the trust factors that are imperative for cloud computing uses by financial institutions. This is one of the pioneering papers that address trust issues in cloud computing from the perspective of financial institutions.

Data center is a cost-effective infrastructure for storing large volumes of data and hosting large-scale service applications. Cloud computing service providers are rapidly deploying data centers across the world with a huge number of servers and switches. These data centers consume significant amounts of energy, contributing to high operational costs. Thus, optimizing the energy consumption of servers and networks in data centers can reduce operational costs. In a data center, power consumption is mainly due to servers, networking devices, and cooling systems, and an effective energy-saving strategy is to consolidate the computation and communication into a smaller number of servers and network devices and then power off as many unneeded servers and network devices as possible.
