Reference no: EM132860064

ICT 373 Cloud Computing - Kings Own Institute

Learning Outcome 1: Identify and analyse the basic goals, costs, benefits, business drivers, risks and challenges for adopting cloud computing.
Learning Outcome 2: Identify and describe different enabling technologies for the Cloud.
Learning Outcome 3: Design and apply a cloud strategy for a small to medium sized enterprise.
Learning Outcome 4: Analyse security and management issues related to cloud computing.

Purpose: Demonstrates students can effectively work in a group to analyse requirements for the planning of a cloud strategy for a medium to large enterprise.

Assessment topic: Developing a Cloud Model for an Organization

Task Details: An initial transition to the cloud "Business Use Case" (BUC) report will be required (at least 12 to 20 pages of detail is expected). This is an executive level report with enough detail and explanation (with diagrams) of concepts that management and front-line staff will understand. The cloud strategy specification is to be completed by each project group and added to the BUC template provided.

A. Cloud Implementation Overview Model (diagram) - Due week 6
B. Proposed Cloud Computing Concept of Operations (from the business case provided - any additional details added by the group is optional)
C. Service Model(s)
D. Deployment Model(s)
E. Cloud Computing Essential Characteristics
F. Security
G. Concerns, Challenges, Additional resources for information (relevant to the case)
H. Report quality, group member tasks log, and any additional diagrams (with Visio file) supporting each relevant section
I. Team participation for each team member based on Group Activity Report.
J. Presentation.

Note on Diagrams: Although copies of generic diagrams from the text may explain a concept well and indeed be relevant to this project case, please be aware if the diagrams you submit are copied directly from the text resources and remain unchanged, these will not be allocated the same level of marks as diagrams that have clearly been custom designed and developed by group members.

Of course, using the text example diagrams is a good starting point/template and it is expected and encouraged that the text examples are utilized for inspiration and verification, but be specific in the positioning, labelling and naming of components accordingly to suit the business case details as provided. Instructions: The marking criteria (above with additional detail for each section) will be available with the "Assessment 3, Group Project specification document" along with the Business Use Case "Cloud Strategy" specification.

1. Choose a case study to analyse and determine the requirements for the example enterprise business needs.

2. Organize group member task allocations.

3. Get started on creating an initial model (diagram) showing an overview of the case. The diagram can be improved after feedback from your tutor. Use diagrams from the text as a starting point for each section then custom build your own to fit the case. Visio is the simplest tool to use and will be used extensively throughout the tutorials.

4. Create additional models (diagrams) to support each relevant section.

5. Complete the sections to provide definitions and details relevant to the case.

6. A professionally formatted report is expected.

7. Review each group members' progress (adjustments may be needed). Keep a log of member tasks and submitting this as a spreadsheet has marks available (item i).

8. One report per group should be submitted.

9. No limitation applies to the size of this report, but keep in mind it is for executive and senior management staff level. At least 15 to 20 pages are expected, but providing more will not be penalized if the information is relevant.

10. Research is encouraged and rewarded - only if it is clearly identified. Do not simply copy generic information without having appropriate referencing and be sure the information has been written to apply specifically to this Project.

11. Poor referencing and lack of information source acknowledgement will be penalized. Be sure to refer to section 3.3 Plagiarism and Referencing. Harvard referencing is expected. Marks will be deducted for poor referencing.
