Exploring the Cloudscape - A Comprehensive Roadmap for Transforming IT Infrastructure from On-Premises to Cloud-Based Solutions
Vol. 8, Jan-Dec 2022 | Page: 35-44
Abstract
Cloud computing, driven by ICT advancements, has rapidly gained ground. It equips businesses with a pay-as-you-go pricing model, reducing upfront investments by charging only for utilized resources. Key IT functions like storage, servers, operating systems, and software applications are delegated to third-party providers, necessitating strategic decision-making to optimize the benefits of cloud services. The choice of the right service provider, deployment model, and service type carries significant weight in aligning cloud solutions with business objectives. This paper explores the advantages of cloud computing, diverse deployment methods, service models, state-of-the-art migration techniques, tools, and the evolving role of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in enhancing cloud computing capabilities.
