Calculating the energy efficiency and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereducing the electricity consumption in data centers are important steps towards greening\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe IT in organizations. Several studies have shown that by migrating into the cloud,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompanies in most cases could reduce their costs in addition to decreasing their greenhouse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egas emissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, lack of guidelines and varying and limited services from different cloud\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eproviders, have made the adoption of appropriate Cloud services a challenge for many\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eorganizations. In this regard, there is a vital need to study and analyze available services\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efrom different cloud vendors and provide enterprises with the best solutions available\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eregarding their specific business requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thesis focuses on cloud computing and its efficiency for individual organizations. It\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eattempts to study the potential benefits of cloud computing by taking the environmental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand energy consumption advantages into consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCloud Computing is not a new concept and has been a hype term in recent years. Cloud\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputing is based on the available technologies and it is all about using a new term for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe existing technologies. But the question is why to create a new name for what already\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexists? The answer to this question is closely related to the potential that Cloud computing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehas for organizations. It is all about conversion of capital expenditure (CAPEX) to the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoperational expenditure (OPEX) and the possible advantages that this conversion could\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave for any organization that choses to migrate into the Cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the following, upon introducing the cloud computing concept and its related technologies,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebusiness functions and processes, information systems available for enterprises are explored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater, based on the required business processes and functions of organizations, a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomprehensive market analysis is carried out. For this purpose different cloud providers and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheir available services are analyzed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI developed an ontology for cloud computing based on the market analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thesis is an attempt to make the process of mapping business processes\/functions to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecloud services easier by providing organizations with a matrix of cloud services\/business\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprocesses (distribution of market) and an ontology for cloud computing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640991839\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640991839","offer_id":39443031195741,"sku":"9783640991839","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/663d82c6-1c9c-4fff-9abc-cd1856da17f6.jpg?v=1777869482","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/business-process-on-demand-studying-the-enterprise-cloud-computing-and-its-role-in-green-it-von-seyed-amir-beheshti","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
