explain how your company will benefit from migrating to the cloud

In Phase 2, you will evaluate the existing IT architectures for the company that you identified in Phase 1. Your three to four-page paper should address the following:

• explain how your company will benefit from migrating to the cloud
• describe how migrating to the cloud will affect your company’s applications
• analyze potential threats and security issues caused by a migration to the cloud
• evaluate required security controls for data and application migration to the cloud
• identify network monitoring responsibility

You will also evaluate and recommend a cloud service provider that you feel is an appropriate cloud computing solution. Your recommendation of a cloud vendor for your company should include an evaluation of the vendor, including but not limited to:

• your rationale for choosing the vendor
• services provided and pricing structure
• security measures offered
• the data center’s physical location
• provisions in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) that addresses potential data losses, customer support services, and more
