Best Cloud-Based Solution

Your company’s CIO is interested in hosting several existing and new applications on a cloud. The CIO requests that you conduct some research to determine the most appropriate cloud computing solution for the needs of the application. The goal of your research is to create a comprehensive assessment document to assist IT in determining the best cloud-based solution for a given application. The assessment document should detail the factors your organization consider when making a cloud computing decision.

The assessment document should cover the following topics:

Cloud deployment model(s)

Cloud service model(s)

Cloud storage

Cloud security

Cloud management

Cloud solution design—functional and non-functional requirements.

For example, under cloud deployment models, what questions must be answered in order to determine if a public, private, hybrid, or community cloud is the correct solution?
