3. Implementation of cloud computing in Small – Medium Enterprise (SME)
Small, medium enterprise is an organization or cross-organizational entity performing within a specific business scope and mission. Business operations in an enterprise environment are heavily influenced by dynamic patterns of collaboration and are associated with different levels of accountability. This requires information integration across the management processes, operational processes, and supporting processes that are scattered across many functional areas as different services. (William Y Chang, 2010)
Although cloud computing always representing big network diagram for multi organizational that allowing people to have virtual access to their resources, but small medium enterprise also can use cloud computing to manage and control their business flow, such as customer information, supplier information, mostly enterprise use cloud computing to increase customer services. By using cloud computing, enterprise can stay in competitive and updates the business by using latest information technology environment.
According to Richard Hill (2013) the enterprise cloud computing is the use of cloud computing for competitive advantage. The competitive advantage goes beyond savings in the procurement, management and maintenance of infrastructure, by providing a model of utility computing that enables rapid agility and collaboration capabilities that support business innovation.
Creating new business innovation that can draw extra attention and demand from customers can be made by cloud computing. The relationship between business and customers can be tightened with customer services. Customer can access the specific access that had been made by a company for custom...

...vice provider. Cloud provider also will notify to their subscriber every update about cloud version, or new cloud computing plan. The capacity of cloud also can be increased when the business operation or services enlarging to cater the high demand of customers. When the business expanded, the buying demand from customers that lives far across the geographically distant are instantly can be reached.
The enterprise staff also can work from home or other location such as airport lounges, coffee house, client side office anywhere, anytime can access the company data as long as connected with internet. The staff can work together with their client or customer to make up the business plan, any document related between company and customer, or archive important data that needed and send the related document in securely.

As its core essences cloud computing is nothing but a specialized form of grid computing and distributing computing’s which various in terms of infrastructure , deployment, service and Geographic’s dispersion (Veeramachanenin, Sepetember 2015) the cloud enhance scalability, collaboration, availability , ability to adapt to fluctuation according to demand accelerate development work and provide optional for cost reduction and through efficient and optimized computing. (BH kawljeet, June 2015) cloud computing (CC) recently become as a new paradigm for the delivery and hosting of services our the internet. There are mainly three service delivery model Software as Service (SaaS) required software, operating system and network is provided or we can say in SaaS the customer can access the hosted software instead of installing it in local computer and the user can access these software through local computer internet browser (e.g web enabled E-mail ) the user only pay and the cloud service provider is responsible for management or control of mobile cloud infrastructure some of the company which provide such service are Google, Microsoft , Salesforce ,Facebook, etc…..Infrastructure as Service(IaaS)the cloud provider only provide some hardware resources such as network and virtualization is
The strengths of creating a cloud computing strategy for stuff4u.com can be a huge difference in profit margin down the road for the company. One of the strengths that cloud computing provides for companies is that it maximizes the effectiveness of shared resources within an organization. When using this approach stuff4u does not have to use all of its computing power and at the same time it will save money on its energy costs. Cloud computing allows multiple employees access to a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications. This will also save money for stuff4you as a company, and will increase profit margin for the company as it cut s down on its expenses. A switch to SaaS software run system will also allow compatibility for a...

Even though cloud computing is still an emerging technology there are many benefits to our organization by adopting this technology. For instance, the reduction of operational cost, the ability to access data from any network and device, and the ability to upgrade and downgrade with ease whenever needed. Looking at the statistical data from companies that have adopted this technology, I think Partners in Heath should adopt Cloud computing. It think it is the perfect technology to solve our financial problems, as well as adding several benefits mentioned earlier.
... dynamic scaling, cost variability and utility pricing model. Instead of purchasing infrastructure equipment, companies can buy resources as a fully outsourced service on demand by using IaaS cloud computing. IaaS also offer two cost savings of the cloud computing for Innovartus Technology, economies of scales and utility-based pricing model. Finally, like PaaS, but IaaS offers better services for software development and focuses on workflow management regardless of the data source used for the application.
Cloud computing is able to increase the speed of business. Cloud computing offers the speed to make computing resources on an instance basis, not just need to first survey time and skilled resources in design and implement infrastructure and applications to deploy and test it. Cloud computing can engance revenue, share bigger market, or other advantages.
...Implementation of cloud systems can be implemented in stages with costs that coincide with usage. The ROI outweighs the issues or problems that could occur. Cloud computing gives a competitive advantage of being able to keep up with changes in technology without having the cost involved. Amazons cloud computing allowed companies like Ericsson to remain competitive and thrive.
The cloud computing is the practice that enables access to the shared pool of configurable computing resources which can be dynamically provisioned. It refers to both the applications delivered as service as well as hardware and system software in the data centres that provide those services. The attractive features of cloud computing such as on-demand access, high scalability, reliability, cost savings, low maintenance and energy efficiency bring benefits to both cloud service consumers and providers.
It is a management system that integrates all of a company's relevant business processes such as sales, purchasing.
...res more resources. Cloud providers monitor and predict the demand and thus allocate resources according to demand. Thus, datacenters always maintain the active servers according to current demand, which results in low energy consumption than the conservative approach of over-provisioning.
The preceding legacy systems used to store the data locally; therefore the information is fragmented and may be conflicting with the data from other departments and branches. For instance, the marketing information has to be integrated with the sales figures, whereas sales information has to be integrated with production plans (on the basis of demand), and production plans should in line with the financial plans while finance department should share those data with the marketing department. Consequently, the transferring of those data, (including the communication distortions) is creating time lags between the order for production and the delivery to the last consumer/customer. Not only that, because of diversity in the viewpoints of the departments, numbers be interpreted in different ways, thus the overall strategy can fail in the organization. Enterprise systems can link all the basic functions, and offers information flow in the organization within and between departments.
The fundamental idea behind a virtual machine is to remove the hardware of a single computer and make it a self-contained operating environment that behaves as it is a separate computer. Essentially, the virtual machine is software that executes an application and isolates it from the actual operating system and hardware. CPU scheduling and virtual-memory techniques are used so that an operating system can create the illusion that a process has its own processor with its own (virtual) memory. The virtual machine provides the ability to share the same hardware yet run several different operating systems concurrently, as shown in Figure 2-11.
In cloud computing, the word cloud is used as a metaphor for “the internet”. So the cloud computing means “a type of internet-based computing”, where different services such as servers, storage and applications are delivered to an organization’s computers and devices through the internet.
It encompasses all those activities in which one business builds relationships with other businesses for efficiently managing several of their business functions. Thus it involves co...
