A previous work on Airport Information Resource Management System (AIRMS) established that sophisticated attacks in the form of Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed DoS (DDoS), and related attacks are becoming the most effective schemes used by cyber terrorists on such enterprise systems. Similarly, a novel Smart Green Energy Management Distributed Cloud Computing Network (SGEM-DCCN) was developed as an extension to the work. Interestingly, the DCCN could be shut down by malicious attackers while running its renewable energy management cloud service. Consequently, this work presents a security model designed to improve the security architecture in a mission-critical DCCN running Enterprise Energy

With cloud computing, web application providers can easily move their applications to cloud data centers. On-demand cloud elasticity allows cloud users to acquire or release computing resources on demand. For complex computational workloads, this makes auto-scaling of resources possible for providers especially under dynamic workload. In all cases, cost optimization for system resources and Quality of Service (QoS) remains the top concern. This paper discussed cloud computing as a smart alternative to legacy computing models. Its taxonomy, characteristics, Security Objectives, Service level agreements, benefits and challenges are presented. A conceptual framework for cloud collaboration among the various states of Nigeria is presented. Startups and other low scale enterprises will readily benefit from cloud based collaboration.
