ICT373 Cloud Computing - King's Own Institute

Project

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 - Developing a Cloud Model for an Organization

Assessment Task - An initial transition to the cloud Business use case. 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 group and added to the Business use case Template provided.

Business Use Case Template

A. Cloud Implementation Overview Model (diagram)
B. Proposed Cloud Computing Concept of Operations (from the business case provided - any additional details added by the group isoptional).
C. Discuss on how the selected Service Model(s) can deliver your intended set of workflows. You need to discuss this from the perspective of the set of applications used in theorganization.
D. Discuss on how the selected Deployment Model(s) will meet your business requirements from the integration and legalperspectives.
E. Discuss the different characteristics of Cloud Computing your organization is getting benefittedfrom.
F. The level of Security addressed by the cloud provider is different for each of the service models. What will be the contribution to cloud security taking into consideration the service model you have chosen and discuss what different security mechanisms you will need to incorporate and to address the required level ofsecurity.
G. Any cloud migration presents some challenges to the organisation, Discuss the challenges that your business case will experience from the results of migration to cloud. Discuss how it affects the businessprocess.
H. Report quality, group member tasks log, and any additional diagrams (with Visio file) supporting each relevantsection
I. Team participation for each team member based on Group ActivityReport.
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.

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 submit 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.

Note: Need Only part 2.
