Opportunities of Adopting Cloud Computing in Palestinian Industries International Journal of Computer and Information Technology (ISSN: 2279 – 0764) Volume 04 – Issue 01, January 2015 Opportunities of Adopting Cloud Computing in Palestinian Industries AlaaEddin Almabhouh Assistant Professor, Head of MIS Department University of Palestine Gaza, Palestine Email: a.mabhouh [AT] up.edu.ps Abstract—Cloud computing is a term that refers to resources • Access to a huge range of applications without and computer systems available on demand through the having to download or install anything network, which can provide a number of computer integrated • services without being restricted by local resources.This Users can avoid expenditure on hardware and research attempts to determine the opportunities and software; only using what they need strategies of cloud computing adoption in Palestine. A focus • Makes the hardware and software easily group has been conducted in order to accomplish the research maintainable. objectives. Data were collected from 12 Palestinian firms. Accepted methodology was used to explore the current stage of • Applications can be accessed from any computer, cloud computing adoption in Palestinian firms and to identify anywhere in the world the most important barriers hindering the adoption. The main obstacles that were identified as performing a significance role • Consumption is billed as a utility with minimal in Palestinian firms’ adoption of cloud computing services upfront costs include: lack of top management awareness, insufficient • financial resources and budgets, shortage of cloud computing Companies can share resources in one place experts and professionals, inadequate network bandwidth, • Scalability via on-demand resources weakness of IT companies capabilities, sensitivity of data, legal and regulatory issues, and compatibility with the existing IT Market Info Group (2011) acknowledges that the global systems. In actuality, these results should present a basis for market for cloud computing technologies is going to grow by the Palestinian IT managers in terms of formulating a concrete 23.4% over the next five years, with an aggregate of over plans for cloud computing adoption. $300 billion over that period.As perIDC, cloud services are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27% Keywords cloud computing; cloud computingadoption;deployment and reach $42billion by 2012 and $55 billion by 2014 models; development models;Palestinian Industries respectively; spending on non-cloud IT services is expected to grow at 5% [7].A recent study conducted by market- 1.

Furthermore, demand network access to a shared pool of configurable cloud computing in just three years has risen to the top of the computing resources (e.g. servers, networks, storage, IT strategic technologies, and has been announced as the top services, and applications) that can be rapidly provisioned technology to watch in the years 2010-2013[9, 10]. and released with minimal management effort or service Currently, millions of people are already being used provider interaction[1]. In addition, cloud computing is a cloud computing in various manifestations including email technology of computing in which internet and central services, office productivity applications and numerous remote servers are provided “as a service” to subscription-based software as a service (SaaS) services [11]. users[2].According to [3, 4], cloud computing is the term In addition, several companies around the world have started given to the use of multiple server computers via a digital to move their data and ICT operations into the network as if they were one computer. The “Cloud” itself is a cloud[12]. Some of the potential benefits from cloud virtualization of resources which the end user has on-demand computing can actually help companiesreduce high access to it. These resources can be provided with minimal expenditures on hardware, software and IT maintenanceas management or service provider interaction[5]. They also well as provides businesses with a centralized, virtual data argue that cloud computing offers the end user resources center that is accessible at any time and any location [13, without the requirement of having knowledge of the systems 14].

Cloud computing is offered in different deployment and delivery models. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW C. Cloud Deployment Models A. The Current State of ICT in Palestine Many researchers [5, 6, 21-23] agreed that there are four Palestinian industries quickly respond to technological models for cloud computing service deployment. These offering. A study conducted by Wihaidi[16] indicates that deployment models may have different derivatives which the Palestinian private and public sectors as well as may address different specific needs or situations [21]. consumers has strengths in the adoption of proven ICT According to them, the basic deployment models are public products and services supported by experienced human cloud, private cloud, community cloud, and hybrid cloud. resource and advanced and accessible telecom infrastructure. 1) Public cloud: This cloud infrastructure is available to Despite these encouraging characteristics, the Palestinian a large industry group and is owned by a vendor selling organizations faces serious challenges that need to be cloud services. In this deployment model, public cloud addressed such as: international perceptions of the applications, storage, and other resources are made available technology adoption, ICT market access, travel impediments, to the general public by a service provider.

In the recent times, it has taken the usage of Internet to an all together different level. The concept of 'pay-for-what-you-use' makes it completely affordable and flexible. India, due to its huge and strong IT Industry has been one of the major markests for all the Cloud providers. This paper presents the current scenario of Cloud services in India, the steps taken for its advancement in the main working sector and where it stands compared to other countries. It also highlights the major points that hinder India from using this Technology which majorly includes the Privacy and Security issues. Citing the advantages, even the government has been taking steps to utilize the benefits of the Cloud in the country. Keywords— Gartner Report, Data privacy, Cybercrime, Internet connectivity, Meghraj, ERP. I. INTRODUCTION Cloud is an acronym of the phrase: Common, Location-independent, Online Utility that is available on Demand. Cloud Computing environment provides internet based platform which are used for computer Technology. Cloud computing collects all the computing resources and manages them automatically. With the advancement of Internet, the Concept of getting everything online arose. Realizing this need, the big companies like Amazon, Google and Microsoft came up with a model called “Cloud Computing”, which can be termed as a highly innovative concept of utilizing different Hardware and software services independent of any platform at reasonable rates without any kind of risk involved.

  • The Cloud Changing the Business Ecosystem
    The Cloud Changing the Business Ecosystem kpmg.com/in Foreword Technology has always played the role of a disruptive force that somehow connects discontinuities and changes business models, ecosystems, or even the world order. Paradoxically, it has sometimes created a level playing field, and at times 'unfair' advantages for some countries or enterprises. This is evident all through out history right from the stone-age, to the industrial revolution, to the silicon era, to the internet/dot com age and to the current age of convergence/mobility. Technology could transform the world into the virtual space, enabling endless cycle of innovation. Advanced economies like US, UK, Germany, and Japan have been at the forefront of combining innovation and technology. This has enabled them to become superpowers that have the economical, defensive and financial muscle. Same has been the case with enterprises like IBM, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Siemens, Sony, CISCO, Nokia, etc. At the same time, it has created a level playing field with the rise of telecommunications and the internet. This leveling has helped in creating emerging leaders like India and China who are leveraging favorable demographics with technology. Technology is often a savior during the downward economic cycles as it enables the creation of more efficient business models and ecosystems. Ironically, sometimes it also leads to economic downturns as the euphoria over technology powered business models cause unrealistic expectations in the capital markets, creating bubbles which inevitably burst for e.g. the dot com burst. The Cloud is another such phenomenon that has stirred up interests and investments in many parts of the world.
