Abstract

There is an increase in the uptake of cloud computing services (CCS). CCS is adopted in the form of a utility, and it incorporates business risks of the service providers and intermediaries. Thus, the adoption of CCS will change the risk profile of an organization. In this situation, organizations need to develop competencies by reconsidering their IT governance structures to achieve a desired level of IT-business alignment and maintain their risk appetite to source business value from CCS. We use the resource-based theories to suggest that collaborative board oversight of CCS, competencies relating to CCS information and financial management, and a CCS-related continuous audit program can contribute to business process performance improvements and overall firm performance. Using survey data, we find evidence of a positive association between these IT governance considerations and business process performance. We also find evidence of positive association between business process performance improvements and overall firm performance. The results suggest that the suggested considerations on IT governance structures can contribute to CCS-related IT-business alignment and lead to anticipated business value from CCS. This study provides guidance to organizations on competencies required to secure business value from CCS.

Abstract

Cloud computing offers a better knowledge management process for organizations, thus allowing for more linkage between information systems and managerial requirements. This study proposes the use of social cognitive theory in continuance use intention of technology innovations including cloud computing services. The theoretical framework explores the role of innovativeness, creativity, risk, behavioral control and personal attitude towards the continual use of cloud computing services for technology organizations in Australia. The results will help technology organizations to develop strategies about how creativity and innovativeness can foster better managerial outcomes. Future research suggestions highlight the importance for technology organizations to adapt and evolve their current information systems management practices.

A survey on data center networking for cloud computing

Abstract

Data Center Networks (DCNs) are an essential infrastructure that impact the success of cloud computing. A scalable and efficient data center is crucial in both the construction and operation of stable cloud services. In recent years, the growing importance of data center networking has drawn much attention to related issues including connective simplification and service stability. However, existing DCNs lack the necessary agility for multi-tenant demands in the cloud, creating poor responsiveness and limited scalability. In this paper, we present an overview of data center networks for cloud computing and evaluate construction prototypes based on these issues. We provide, specifically, detailed descriptions of several important aspects: the physical architecture, virtualized infrastructure, and DCN routing. Each section of this work discusses and evaluates resolution approaches, and presents the use cases for cloud computing service. In our attempt to build insight relevant to future research, we also present some open research issues. Based on experience gained in both research and industrial trials, the future of data center networking must include careful consideration of the interactions between the important aspects mentioned above.

Pricing strategy for cloud computing: A damaged services perspective

ژورنال:Decision Support Systems

Highlights

•

A hybrid strategy is shown to outperform a one-service-only strategy in most cases.

•

A hybrid strategy performs well especially when clients are sensitive to services interruptions or when task values are highly differentiated.

•

The presence of interruptions serves as a quality differentiator between the two types of services offered by the vendor, assuring the efficacy of the hybrid strategy.

•

The presence of interruptions also provides the vendor with resource reallocation flexibility.

•

If the vendor introduces a capacity limit in its contract, clients need to adopt a dynamic-threshold submission strategy to reserve limited computing resources for future high-value jobs.

•

The vendor is able to use the capacity limit as a tool, together with the hybrid strategy, to improve its profit.

Abstract

How effective is a hybrid pricing strategy for a cloud computing services vendor that mixes fixed-price reserved services with spot-price on-demand services? This research offers a decision support model to create the appropriate strategy for IT services based on prior research on information goods, electricity pricing, product versioning, and revenue yield management. The goal is to establish whether interruptible spot-price on-demand cloud computing services — which we view as damaged services — are valuable to the vendor. The results from the analysis of an economic model show that a hybrid strategy outperforms a one-service-only strategy in most cases, especially when clients are sensitive to services interruptions or when task values are highly differentiated. A more intriguing finding is that a vendor should permit the possibility of services interruptions even when clients are highly sensitive to their occurrence. The presence of interruptions serves as a quality differentiator between the on-demand services and reserved services, assuring the efficacy of the hybrid strategy. Moreover, a vendor may use capacity limit, in the hybrid strategy, as a tool to further improve its profit. To our knowledge, this research is the first to propose the damaged services perspective as an analogy for damaged goods in the cloud software market.
