Isolation réseau dans un environnement Cloud Public/Hybride / Network Isolation in a Public/Hybrid cloud environmentDel Piccolo, Valentin 23 May 2017 (has links)
Le cloud computing est un modèle informatique donnant accès à un grand nombre de ressources de calcul et de stockage. Trois types de cloud existent, le cloud public, le cloud privé et le cloud hybride. Afin de proposer une solution cloud hybride, nous utilisons le protocole TRILL qui permet d'optimiser l'utilisation des ressources réseau d'une infrastructure. Cependant, TRILL ne permet pas d'interconnecter des data centers sans perdre l'indépendance de leur plan de contrôle. Pour modifier ce comportement, lequel implique la création d'un unique domaine de broadcast s'étendant sur tout le réseau, nous proposons, comme première contribution, une solution (MLTP) qui permet d'interconnecter des réseaux TRILL tout en les maintenant indépendants. Un autre élément manquant de TRILL est l'isolation des flux réseau. Notre seconde contribution consiste donc à trouver et implémenter une solution d'isolation des flux au sein de MLTP. Ce nouveau protocole (MLTP+VNT), permet d'avoir une solution de cloud hybride, mais elle possède deux désavantages. Le premier est la gestion des pannes. Certains éléments de MLTP+VNT, les Border RBridges (BRB), contiennent des informations nécessaires au routage inter-data center et lorsqu'ils tombent en panne, ces informations sont perdues. Pour éviter cela, nous avons, dans notre troisième contribution, modifié MLTP+VNT pour synchroniser les BRBs. Le second est l'obligation de n'utiliser que des réseaux MLTP+VNT pour réaliser un cloud hybride. Pour lever cette restriction, nous avons, dans notre quatrième contribution, conçu une passerelle entre un réseau TRILL, pour le cloud public, et un réseau OpenFlow, pour le cloud privé. / Cloud computing uses infrastructure with a lot of computing and storage resources. There are three types of cloud: Public cloud, Private cloud, and Hybrid cloud. In order to provide a hybrid cloud solution, we used as a base the TRILL protocol which optimizes the use of the data center infrastructure. However, TRILL cannot interconnect data centers as doing so will merge the data centers networks and each data center will lose its independence. Our first contribution is to change this behavior and we develop MLTP which allows to interconnect TRILL or MLTP network without merging them. Another functionality missing from TRILL is network isolation. To fill this lack, in our second proposal we add to MLTP a solution called VNT and we then have a new protocol called MLTP+VNT. In this protocol, each user traffic is isolated from one another. Therefore, MLTP+VNT allows to have a hybrid cloud environment. Nevertheless, it has two shortcomings. The first one is its “single” point of failure. As a matter of fact, MLTP+VNT uses a new type of nodes called Border RBridges which contains inter-data centers routing information. If a Border RBridge fails, then the information it contained is lost. In order to prevent this loss, we implement a method to synchronize the Border RBridges in our third contribution. The second shortcoming is the obligation to use MLTP+VNT in each network to form the hybrid cloud. To lift this limitation, we design and develop, in our fourth contribution, a bridge between a MLTP+VNT network and an OpenFlow network. This way, our solution allows to create a hybrid cloud environment with the MLTP+VNT solution in the public cloud and OpenFlow in the public cloud.

Adoption of Cloud Computing Services in an Illinois-Based Insurance CompanyPolk, Nekerral 01 January 2019 (has links)
The decision to adopt cloud computing services should involve business units of an insurance company as well as information technology (IT) because cloud computing services are viewed as both a technology offering and business alternative. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore the strategies used by IT architects of an Illinois-based insurance company when adopting cloud computing services. The theory supporting this study was the technology acceptance model. The study's population consisted of IT architects from an Illinois-based insurance company that have used strategies to adopt cloud computing services. This study's data collection included semistructured interviews and review of organizational documents. Member checking with each participant increased the validity of this study's findings. Four major themes emerged from this study: strategies to adopt cloud computing services, strategies to adopt cloud services models, strategies to adopt cloud computing models, and concerns affecting the strategies to adopt cloud computing services. The study findings may assist IT architects in developing effective strategies to adopt cloud computing services for their respective business unit. This study might serve as a foundation for positive social change by decreasing customer concerns regarding critical information being compromised when adopting cloud computing services.

Cloud Computing jako nástroj BCM / Cloud Computing as a BCM toolLukášová, Pavlína January 2010 (has links)
This thesis deals with possible interconnections between two concepts playing a big role in contemporary business and IT world. These concepts are Business Continuity Management and Cloud Computing. In the scope of this thesis there are certain areas identified where both concepts are complement, where Cloud Computing brings new opportunities for Business Continuity Management and where could possible problems arise during particular implementation. From the BCM perspective the impact lies on IT services, from the Cloud Computing perspective the thesis deals especially with security aspects. The thesis is also aimed at the characteristics of higher education and basic differences from commercial sphere. Based on defined differences and identified interconnections between BCM and Cloud Computing, the thesis argues for usage of suitable Cloud Computing solution for higher education regarding Business Continuity improvement. The multi-criterion comparison of several Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions stems from this analysis focusing on technical, financial, and Business Continuity aspects. The result from this comparison together with conclusions from previous chapters serve as an input for subsequent practical proposal of Cloud Computing solution and its verification against Business Continuity improvement in specific conditions on University of Economics in Prague. The proposal is also represented by strategic map.

IMPLICATIONS OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN IT ORGANIZATIONSVepuri, Harish, Rahman, Mohsin January 2012 (has links)
Information technology (IT) in the recent decades has showcased immense evolution. This evolution has impacted not only the technological sector of the society but also the socio-political and economic sectors. One such archetype that has gained popular momentum in the recent years is cloud computing. Still in its developmental stages, cloud computing is the latest offspring of computing services and has invariably challenged the traditional aspects of computing services across the IT Organizations in the world. Thus, adopted by a number of developed as well as developing countries, cloud computing has played a crucial role in decreasing the overall cost pertinent to hardware, software and other services in organizations. However, issues such as data security and confidentiality, data availability, legal issues and unintelligent Service Level Agreements (SLAs) have questioned the reliability and credibility of cloud computing. This has resulted in lack of potential investments from major companies. The main aim of this research is to provide concrete reasons for the actively implementing cloud computing in IT Organizations. Qualitative approach and exploratory design are extensively used for data collection and analysis. Primary data is collected based on the views and opinions of IT experts and secondary data is collected from literary sources which invariably supports the primary data and maintains the credibility of the research.

Cloud Computing : Evaluation, as a platform for Scania ArchitectureSiddiqui, Muhammad Anas January 2013 (has links)
Cloud computing has been given a great deal of attention during recent years. Almost all the technology market leaders and leading hosting service providers (like IBM, Microsoft and Verizon) have entered into the Cloud market as Cloud Providers. Cloud computing promises to provide highly available, secure, low cost, agile and highly scalable solution to the consumers. Scania is a global company and one of the world’s leading heavy vehicle manufacturers with 35,000+ employees. All the large organizations such as Scania, aim to constantly update themselves with the latest technology in order to meet their business requirements but, these organizations must always be convinced that there is a strong reason(s) to implement new technology. This research provides the method and criteria in relation to initiating Cloud computing. A number of Scania’s specific business requirements that it is possible to map to the Cloud are addressed in this thesis. The methodology of research is split in two parts. Firstly, the identification of business cases at Scania and their requirements with the Cloud and Secondly, the evaluation and comparison of the functionalities and capabilities of different vendors. The accumulated data is then compared and suitable vendors, according to those business requirements are suggested. This thesis also shares the experience of moving on premise applications to the Cloud. These are Scania specific applications which are currently being hosted in-house. The research also addresses the possibilities of portability between the Cloud providers. Although there is no standardization in relation to Cloud computing, some initiatives such as OpenStack are available and its current position and some application and data migration tools are also discussed. The thesis concludes with a general discussion, recommendations in relation to adapting Cloud computing and selecting the Cloud provider. This recommendation applies to every organization including Scania.

Architectures et mécanismes de fédération dans les environnements cloud computing et cloud networking / Architectures and federation mechanisms in cloud computing and cloud networking environmentsMedhioub, Houssem 28 April 2015 (has links)
Présenté dans la littérature comme une nouvelle technologie, le Cloud Computing est devenu incontournable dans la mise en place et la fourniture des services informatiques. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le contexte de cette nouvelle technologie qui est en mesure de transformer la mise en place, la gestion et l’utilisation des systèmes d’information. L'adoption et la vulgarisation du Cloud ont été ralenties par la jeunesse même des concepts et l'hétérogénéité des solutions existantes. Cette difficulté d'adoption se manifeste par l'absence de standard, l'hétérogénéité des architectures et des API, le Vendor Lock-In imposé par les leaders du marché et des manques qui ralentissent la fédération. La motivation principale de la thèse est de simplifier l'adoption du cloud et la migration vers ses environnements et technologies. Notre objectif est de proposer des solutions d'interopérabilité et de fédération dans le Cloud. Le travail de recherche s’est aussi articulé autour de deux grands axes. Le premier concerne le rapprochement des réseaux du futur et des Clouds. Le deuxième axe concerne l'interopérabilité et la fédération entre solutions et services cloud. Une analyse de l’état de l’art sur le Cloud Computing et le Cloud Networking, a permis de confirmer des manques pressentis et de proposer deux architectures de fédération Cloud. La première architecture permet le rapprochement entre le Cloud Computing et le Cloud Networking. La seconde architecture facilite l'interopérabilité et le courtage de services Cloud. L'étude des deux architectures a fait ressortir deux composants primordiaux et essentiels pour assurer la fédération: une interface générique et un système d'échange de messages. Ces deux composants correspondent à deux contributions centrales de la thèse et reflètent l’ensemble des contributions (quatre au total) du travail de recherche / Presented in the literature as a new technology, Cloud Computing has become essential in the development and delivery of IT services. Given the innovative potential of Cloud, our thesis was conducted in the context of this promising technology. It was clear that the Cloud would change the way we develop, manage and use information systems. However, the adoption and popularization of Cloud were slow and difficult given the youth of the concepts and heterogeneity of the existing solutions. This difficulty in adoption is reflected by the lack of standard, the presence of heterogeneous architectures and APIs, the introduction of Vendor Lock-In imposed by the market leaders and the lack of cloud federation principles and facilitators. The main motivation for our PhD is to simplify the adoption of the cloud paradigm and the migration to cloud environments and technologies. Our goal has consequently been to improve interoperability and enable federation in the cloud. The thesis focused on two main areas. The first concerns the convergence of future networks and clouds and the second the improvement of federation and interoperability between heterogeneous cloud solutions and services. Based on our work in state of the art about Cloud Computing and Cloud Networking, we defined in this thesis two architectures for Cloud federation. The first architecture enables the merging (convergence) of Cloud Computing and Cloud Networking. The second architecture addresses interoperability between services and proposes cloud-brokering solutions. The study enabled the identification of two essential components for cloud federation, namely: a generic interface and a message exchange system. These two components have been two contributions of our thesis. The proposed federation architectures and these two components summarize the four major contributions of our work

Projeto e avaliação de um broker como agente de intermediação e QoS em uma nuvem computacional híbrida / Design and evaluation of a broker as QoS and intermediation agent in hybrid cloud computingPardo, Mario Henrique de Souza 16 June 2016 (has links)
A presente tese de doutorado propõe uma arquitetura de cloud broker para ambientes de computação em nuvem híbrida. Um cloud broker tem o objetivo de executar a mediação entre clientes e provedores, recebendo requisições dos clientes e encaminhando-as ao serviço do provedor que melhor se adaptar aos requisitos de qualidade de serviço (QoS) solicitados. A arquitetura de broker de serviços com QoS proposta denomina-se QBroker, características de implementação de seu modo de operação bem como sua interação com os recursos virtuais de um ambiente de nuvem são apresentadas. O modelo de nuvem considerado foi o de nuvem híbrida com uma caracterização de arquitetura orientada a serviços (SOA) na qual serviços remotos são disponibilizados aos clientes. A política de escalonamento de tarefas desenvolvida para o QBroker foi a de intermediação de serviços, considerando tratativas de QoS, diferenciação das instâncias de serviços (SOA) e alocação dinâmica de serviços. Além disso, toda a caracterização do modo de operação do QBroker foi baseada no conceito de intermediação do modelo de referência de nuvem do NIST. O componente QBroker foi introduzido numa arquitetura de computação em nuvem BEQoS (Bursty Energy and Quality of Service), desenvolvida no Laboratório de Sistemas Distribuídos e Programação Concorrente do ICMC-USP de São Carlos. Avaliações de desempenho para a implementação da arquitetura QBroker foram conduzidas por meio de programas de simulação com uso da API do simulador CloudSim e da arquitetura CloudSim-BEQoS. Três cenários experimentais foram avaliados e, segundo a análise de resultados efetuada, foi possível validar que as características arquiteturais implementadas no QBroker resultaram em significativo impacto nas variáveis de resposta consideradas. Assim, foi possível comprovar que o uso do QBroker como mecanismo de mediação em ambientes de nuvem híbrida com SOA promoveu ganhos em desempenho para o sistema de nuvem e permitiu melhoria na qualidade dos serviços oferecidos. / This doctoral thesis proposes a cloud broker architecture for hybrid cloud computing environments. A cloud broker aims to perform mediation between clients and providers, receiving customer requests and forwarding them to the service provider that best suits the requested QoS requirements. The broker architecture services with QoS proposal is called QBroker. Implementation features of its mode of operation as well as its interaction with the virtual resources from a cloud environment are presented. The cloud deployment model was considered a hybrid cloud with a characterization of service-oriented architecture (SOA) in which remote services are available to customers. The task scheduling policy developed for QBroker was the intermediation of services, considering negotiations of QoS, differentiation of services instances and dynamic allocation of services. Moreover, the entire characterization of QBroker operation mode is based on the intermediation concept of the NIST cloud reference model. The QBroker component was introduced into a cloud computing architecture BEQoS (Bursty, Energy and Quality of Service), developed in the Laboratory of Distributed Systems and Concurrent Programming at ICMC-USP. Performance evaluations analysis the of results of QBroker architecture were conducted through simulation programs using the CloudSim simulator API and CloudSim-BEQoS architecture. Three experimental scenarios were evaluated and, according to analysis of the results, it was possible to validate that the architectural features implemented in QBroker resulted in significant impact on response variables considered. Thus, it was possible to prove that the use of QBroker as mediation mechanism in hybrid cloud environments with SOA promoted performance gains for the cloud system and allowed improvement in the quality of services offered.
