  • A Modeling Language for Multi-Tenant Data Architecture Evolution in Cloud Applications
    School of Computing and Communications A Modeling Language for Multi-tenant Data Architecture Evolution in Cloud Applications Assylbek Sagitzhanuly Jumagaliyev M.Sc., International Information Technologies University, 2014 B.Sc., Suleyman Demirel University, 2011 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 29 April 2019 Abstract Multi-tenancy enables efficient resource utilization by sharing application resources across multiple customers (i.e., tenants). Hence, applications built using this pat- tern can be o↵ered at a lower price and reduce maintenance e↵ort as less application instances and supporting cloud resources must be maintained. These properties en- courage cloud application providers to adopt multi-tenancy to their existing appli- cations, yet introducing this pattern requires significant changes in the application structure to address multi-tenancy requirements such as isolation of tenants, exten- sibility of the application, and scalability of the solution. In cloud applications, the data layer is often the prime candidate for multi-tenancy, and it usually comprises acombinationofdi↵erentcloudstoragesolutionssuchasblobstorage,relational and non-relational databases. These storage types are conceptually and tangibly di- vergent, each requiring its own partitioning schemes to meet multi-tenancy require- ments. Currently, multi-tenant data architectures are implemented using manual coding methods, at times following guidance and patterns o↵ered by cloud prov- iders. However, such manual implementation approach tends to be time consum- ing and error prone. Several modeling methods based on Model-Driven Engineer- ing (MDE) and Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) have been proposed to capture multi-tenancy in cloud applications. These methods mainly generate cloud deployment configurations from an application model, though they do not automate implementation or evolution of applications.

(i.e. cost to build) – Geographic diversity – Relatively low cost of capital Source: Cowen and Company “The Edge” Is The Next Frontier • Creating new opportunities • Fiber routes • Small cells • Data centers (more locations/smaller footprint per location) • Where the end-users of digital services reside • Compute/storage needs to occur closer to them • Tier II/III markets • Where wireless infrastructure meets wireline infrastructure Source: Cowen and Company SECTOR PERFORMANCE Strong Sector Performance Communications Infrastructure Index: 5-Year Performance (Indexed to 100 on 01/31/2014) 280 260 240 139% 220 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 Comm.

  • Software, Internet & IT Infrastructure M&A Report: 2011
    PEACHTREE CAPITAL ADVISORS, INC. Software, Internet & IT Infrastructure M&A Report: 2011 Peachtree Capital Advisors, Inc. is a Pasadena, CA-based investment bank providing M&A advisory services to growth and middle market software, Internet and IT infrastructure companies both in the U.S. and abroad. With 15 years of experience, Managing Director and founder John Doyle has closed and structured over twenty-five deals and possesses a strong knowledgebase of financial and strategic buyers in these sectors. If you are interested in learning more about valuation, positioning, preparation, or the merger and acquisition process, please visit www.peachtreecapitaladvisors.com or contact John Doyle at 626-204-4047. Software, Internet & IT Infrastructure M&A Report: 2011 This report does not seek to prove that volume or the deal value of M&A has increased, primarily because that is a near impossible statistic to obtain on a congruent basis, but to discuss valuation multiples, M&A trends and transaction rationale in the Software, Internet & IT Infrastructure sectors. In this year of cautious optimism and grinding economic growth, it is safe to say that buying won in the proverbial buy versus build question. In 2010, many companies slashed costs and hoarded cash. However, in Q1 2011, the economy began to grow and growth expectations in the market elevated; as a result, equity investors favored growth companies. Faced with the decision to invest in organic growth (risky corporate finance projects or internal R&D), grow through acquisition, or distribute funds back to investors, CEOs overwhelmingly decided to make small strategic hyper-growth acquisitions of companies they were familiar with.

  • Electronic Services
    2 — Electronic Services Summary This chapter provides an overview of two streams – the automation of activities and programming paradigms – which drove and supported the evolution of electronic services. These services are service systems implemented using important elements from the fields of automation and programming. It presents several classifications to understand the nature of services according to different views. Since services can take various forms, the chapter explains and contrasts electronic services, web services, cloud services, the internet of services, and service-oriented architectures. Learning Objectives 1. Describe the evolution of electronic services as a result of the automation of economic activities and self service. 2. Describe the evolution of electronic services as the improvement of program- ming paradigms. 3. Classify service systems based on the role of information technology, service architectures, strategies, and business models. 4. Compare the various service types and paradigms that exist: electronic services, web services, cloud services, and internet of services. Jorge Cardoso and Hansjörg Fromm 36 Electronic Services Opening Case Amazon Web Services ⌅ AMAZON EMBRACES SOAP AND REST WEB SERVICES Amazon.com is known by most people as the largest e-commerce web site which sells books and other goods. Less known is the fact that Amazon has close to 1.000.000 servers. Why so many computers? To support millions of customers, Amazon had to build a massive storage and computing infrastructure with high availability and failure resistance to operate its web store. Once the infrastructure was built, it became clear that it could be exploited as a commodity by selling services which would be billed based on their usage.
