An assessment model for Enterprise Clouds adoption Usman Nasir PhD (Computer Science) December 2017 Keele University, UK An assessment model for Enterprise Clouds adoption ABSTRACT Context: Enterprise Cloud Computing (or Enterprise Clouds) is using the Cloud Computing services by a large-scale organisation to migrate its existing IT services or use new Cloud based services. There are many issues and challenges that are barrier to the adoption of Enterprise Clouds. The adoption challenges have to be addressed for better assimilation of Cloud based services within the organisation. Objective: The aim of this research was to develop an assessment model for adoption of Enterprise Clouds. Method: Key challenges reported as barrier in adoption of Cloud Computing were identified from literature using the Systematic Literature Review methodology. A survey research was carried out to elicit industrial approaches and practices from Cloud Computing experts that help in overcoming the key challenges. Both key challenges and practices were used in formulating the assessment model. Results: The results have highlighted that key challenges in the adoption of Enterprise Clouds are security & reliability concerns, resistance to change, vendor lock-in issues, data privacy and difficulties in application and service migration.

    Protecting Data in Microsoft Azure Protecting Data in Microsoft Azure Abstract Microsoft® is committed to ensuring that your data remains your data, without exception. When stored in Microsoft Azure, data benefits from multiple layers of security and governance technologies, operational practices, and compliance policies in order to enforce data privacy and integrity at a very granular level. This white paper describes such capabilities in Microsoft Azure, including mechanisms for encryption, secrets administration, and access control that you can leverage for managing sensitive data. The sections that follow provide detailed guidance on how to use features in the Microsoft Azure platform to protect critical enterprise data in the cloud, whether structured or unstructured, in-transit, or at-rest. Audience This document focuses on data protection in Microsoft Azure, and is intended for Information Technology (IT) Professionals and IT Implementers who deal with information asset management on a daily basis, either as their main duties or as part of a broader cloud IT management role. This document will be most useful to individuals who are already familiar with Microsoft Azure, and are looking to increase their knowledge of tools and technologies for encryption, access control, and other aspects of data security in the platform and related services. Sections 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 provide a brief overview of Azure and can be skipped depending on your existing knowledge of Azure services.
