Perspective." Procedia technology 12 (2014): 529. Print. This paper breaks down from a
company perspective how to effectively make an informed decision on whether to use cloud
computing. I will mainly utilize this paper to get some advantages and disadvantages of a
cloud computing infrastructure from both a business and technology perspective. I can use it
to compare these pros and cons with those of on-premises computing. The strength of this
source is going into strict detail and using the perspective of a company. The limitation is a
slight bias towards cloud computing being effective. This relates to other sources because it
will help me provide advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing while comparing it
to on-premises.
Beaty, Donald L. "Cloud Computing 101." Ashrae Journal 55.10 (2013): 88-93. Print. This
source focuses on describing what cloud computing is, as well as going in depth into the
simple to understand terms. I will use this source to mainly introduce what cloud computing
is, how it differs from on-premises systems. The strength of this source is explaining the
cloud technology is simple to interpret terms, I will not have to do excessive simplifying.
The limitation of this source is that is goes into too much detail about the different types of
cloud-computing models which isnt very useful information to the purpose of this research

Journal of Information Security 13.2 (2014): 113-70. Print. This source evaluates current
literature on security concerns of cloud technology. It uses this information to synthesize all
the different security issues that cloud-computing introduces. I will use the security

takes a focus on the security perspective of cloud-computing. The limitation of this source

517. Print. This sources uses information from case studies on six vendors to explain how
they had to adapt their business models due to the disruptive innovation of cloud-computing.
It discusses how adapting this cloud technology requires significant change in business
model. I will use this source to discuss an advantage of on-premises computing which is
adhering to traditional business models instead of adapting new business models. The

perceive the adoption of cloud computing in many companies in Taiwan. The study found
that despite possible benefits, they will not adopt it due to problems with their company
policy, development environment, business needs. The findings suggest adoption may
increase as unpredictable aspects of cloud computing reduce and there are more successful
business models. This source will allow me to discuss the possible benefits of cloud

use this source to give background on cloud computing. It has information that is useful to
begin introducing what cloud computing is and what its history is perhaps. When I use
information from this source I will begin describing what cloud computing is compared to
on premises infrastructures. The strength of this source is that it is one of the few sources
gives information very technically. This means I must simplify the information it gives. This
relates to other sources because I will use with another source to introduce what cloud-
computing is, and I will use it in comparing the two types of infrastructure.
