Rozšíření SOA do platformy cloud computing

The aim of my diploma thesis is to introduce cloud computing as an alternative to traditional internal information technology and its benefits for a company. Diploma thesis focuses on three main goals. The first one concerns advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing in comparison to internal information technology. The second one is identification of possible processes and services available for migration into cloud computing. The third goal of the diploma thesis is development of investment analysis which compares not only initial costs on internal information technology and cloud computing, but also costs of both variants within three years. The main contribution of the diploma thesis is to define whether the cloud computing is economically beneficial for the company or not. The argument for categorizing cloud computing is in the reason that the company does not have to use all services within the cloud computing but only these, which the company considers as the most beneficial from cost and operation point of view. Another contribution of the diploma thesis is deployment of data, services and processes into a chosen cloud computing platform. Investment analysis allows through cost comparison of both options understand whether it is more beneficial to choose cloud computing or internal Information Technology platform. During this decision making the company also considers its business character and the fact whether the company operates locally or globally.
