Cloud Computing Advantages and Disadvantages

Instructions:

the paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages.

Use the Academic Writer Tutorial: Basics of Seventh Edition APA Style website to learn more about APA style.

• References should be 2016 or later.
• Each source should be cited in the body of the paper to give credit where due. Per APA, the paper should use a 12-point Time New Roman font, should be double spaced throughout, and the first sentence of each paragraph should be indented .5 inches.
• The body of the paper should be 2 Pages in length.
• The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirements.

 No matter how well an organizations data is protected, eventually there will be a breach of security or a natural disaster. Well prepared organizations create an incident response team (IRT).  Chapter 12 focuses on the IRT team by discussing its various roles and responsibilities.  

• What is the relationship between a BIA, a BCP, and a DRP? Explain
• What are some best practices YOU recommend in regards to incident response policies?
• When an incident occurs, there are a number of options that can be pursued.  Which specific action(s) would YOU recommend when assets of a low value are being attacked? (see page 344)

 Discuss the preparation within your own organization in regards to your Emergency Operations Center.  What are the pros and cons of your current preparations? 

300 words

100 words overview.

Considering the importance of data in organization, it is absolutely essential to secure the data present in the database. What are the strategic and technical security measures for good database security? Be sure to discuss at least one security model to properly develop databases for organizational security. Create a diagram of a security model for your research paper.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.

Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing electronic innovation and the government. Complete a review of the article by writing a 2-3 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. 

You should use the UC library (https://www.ucumberlands.edu/library) and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles (https://scholar.google.com/ )

Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Write an essay of at least 500 words discussing the use of encryption to protect data at rest, in motion, and in use.    

Do not copy without providing proper attribution. This paper will be evaluated through SafeAssign. 

Write in essay format not in outline, bulleted, numbered or other list format.  

Use the five paragraph format. Each paragraph must have at least five sentences. Include 3 quotes with quotation marks and cited in-line and in a list of references. Include an interesting meaninful title.

Include at least one quote from each of 3 different articles. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.  Place the words you copied (do not alter or paraphrase the words) in quotation marks and cite in-line (as all work copied from another should be handled). The quotes should be full sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your discussion (they do not replace your discussion) to illustrate or emphasize your ideas.

Cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations).

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your submission Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.

Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (2 pages double spaced excluding Title and Reference pages) that summarizes what you feel are the most important or interesting concepts you have learned so far in this Cloud Computing course.  Would be good to include an insight as to whether the learning was new to you or reinforced knowledge that you already had.

Requirements:  Provide a 500-word (2 or more pages double spaced not counting the title and reference pages) paper.  The paper should include a title page, body pages, and reference page.  An abstract and introduction is not required for this assignment.  Correct use of APA guidelines for sources and citations is required. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

 This is a required assignment worth 20 points (20-points/1000-points). Assignment must be submitted by the due date. No late assignments are allowed. Please discuss the following topics and provide substantive comments to at least two other posts. 
Select from the following list four (4) topics and discuss. Use only 50-words max per topic to discuss and present your answer.  The discussion questions this week are from Chapter’s 3 & 4  (Jamsa, 2013).
Chapter 3 topics:

• Define and describe PaaS.
• List the benefits of PaaS solutions.
• Describe potential disadvantages of PaaS.
• Describe how a cloud-based database management system differs from an on-site database.
• List the computing resources normally provided with a PaaS.

Chapter 4 topics:

• Define and describe IaaS.
• Define and describe system redundancy. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement a redundancy plan.
• Define and describe load balancing. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement load balancing.
• Define and describe NAS. Assume you must implement a shared file system within the cloud. What company would you select? Why? What costs should your client expect to pay for cloud-based data on a gigabyte (GB) basis?
• Define and describe colocation. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement colocation.
• Compare and contrast a cloud-based disk storage device (with a file system) with a cloud based database.
• Compare and contrast physical, dedicated virtual, and shared virtual servers. Search the web for companies that provide each. What cost should a customer expect to pay for each?

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions.  The initial post is due by Wednesday at 11:59pm ET.  You must engage on at least three separate days (by Wednesday for the first post and two additional days of peer engagement).  Do not wait until Sunday to engage with peers, this should be an active conversation with your peers.  When replying to peers be sure to engage with substantial posts that add to the conversation.   This is a required assignment worth 20 points (20-points/1000-points). Assignment must be submitted by the due date. No late assignments are allowed. Please discuss the following topics and provide substantive comments to at least two other posts.
