Executive Summary
Don & Associates is a financial consulting company that is looking to expand its services and locations, using the most economical means while providing equipment needs, minimum downtime, data accessibility from anywhere, regular
maintenance schedules, yet eliminating the need for more space.
In an effort to expand the company’s products and services, Don & Associates have decided to try their hand at cloud computing. The reason that the company feels that cloud computing would be a good choice for operations is because it
solves the issue of expansion while keeping the cost low. Using Cloud computing technology for their network would allow the company to expand to just about any location they want to without loss of operations and ample access to data, while also being a cost savings measure. The biggest challenge is researching the different types of cloud computing and deciding which is best for the company’s needs.

Types of Cloud Computing
-
Public Cloud
is a pay per use option for businesses. While this type of cloud computer meets all the concerns of cost, no restrictions on location, and reliability, the set back to using this type is its failure to secure sensitive data.
-
Private Cloud generally used in large businesses or enterprises with a more controlled environment, limiting access, making it more secure. The private cloud can be managed in-house, or by a service provider. While this sounds like the excellent choice, keep in mind, this option
is more expensive and it’s difficult to access data in remote locations.
-
Hybrid Cloud combines features from both the public and private cloud. It is cost effective, scalable, and secure.
- Community Cloud Organizations share the cloud environment based on locations, specific organizational needs or some other similar need. It can be better described as a private cloud working as a public cloud within a restricted location
