When using cloud systems there is always a problem of data safety, data availability and a possibility of malicious acts, hampering computational processes. However, evaluating the risks of introducing cloud applications is not the only aspect influencing the decision to move enterprise applications to the cloud. The present paper suggests a model of decision support for deciding to move enterprise applications to the cloud environment based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The model allows estimating a set of enterprise IT applications and choose the applications for migration to the cloud, based on specific business requirements, technological strategy and willingness to risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
