Task This coursework is to write a well-researched and referenced business report of some 2,000 words (excluding references) covering the potential use of, and security issues associated with, cloud computing in a specific business sector of your choice (e.g., education, finance, transport, government, travel, gaming, etc...). The report should be properly researched, organised and structured and include the following major sections: [login to view URL] Describe a typical company within the business sector of your choice – e.g., what it does, how many users it has, what kind of data it generates, what business IT applications it requires, how mobile its employees and users are, etc. It could be a real company that you are familiar with, or a fictional one representative of the business sector that you are researching. If you decide to go for the latter, you are responsible for making your description consistent and realistic. 2. Current status of Cloud Computing Research the current status of cloud computing in your selected business. Describe the typical level of a company’s involvement in cloud computing. If they have not tried cloud computing services, what are the obstacles, perceived or otherwise, of them doing so? If they have already started using cloud computing services, what are the current limitations? Critically examine the adoption of cloud computing by such companies, and outline any corresponding technical, organisational, societal, and individual employee/user impact of such usage. [login to view URL] benefits of Cloud Computing Analyse the business sector of your choice carefully, and identify the benefits (in terms of cost saving, profit making, agility, efficiency, etc.) that could potentially be obtained from more, or better, usage of cloud computing technologies. Detail which areas of the sector’s business you believe could benefit the most from such technologies? 4. Potential security issues associated with Cloud Computing Analyse the specific security concerns associated with the business sector of your choice, and identify the potential security issues that will need to be addressed for its successful use of cloud computing technologies. Which aspects of the sector’s business are most at risk from such security concerns? [login to view URL] for the secure implementation of Cloud Computing Provide proposals that will best help your selected company to achieve the potential benefits of cloud computing technologies. Explain the possibilities offered by your proposals, and the best way to mitigate against any security risks involved in implementing them. In addition, outline any technical issues associated with your proposals – i.e., system integrity, reliability, usability, and scalability, as well as any social and/or ethical considerations that may need to be made. Provide researched justifications (rationale) for the technical choices you recommend. Explain how best to measure the performance and impact of the application of such new technologies. Describe in detail the critical success factors for your overall plan to work in practice. 6. Conclusions Summarise the main results, assess the key findings, draw conclusions from your study, and predict potential future developments in the use of cloud computing in your business sector of choice.
