SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING HYBRIDIZATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES BASED ON DATA MINING OF HISTORICAL DECISIONS

摘要

Computational methods and systems that aid an enterprise in deciding whether to execute an application entirely within a private cloud or a hybrid combination of the private cloud and public cloud services offered by a public cloud service provider are described. The methods and system receive a set of quantitative parameters associated with running an application using computational services provided by a public cloud service provider and a set of organizational parameters associated with an enterprise. The quantitative and organizational parameters are normalized and input to a decision model that generates a recommendation that indicates exclusive use of a private cloud or a hybrid private cloud and public cloud to execute the application.

1. A system for aiding an enterprise in deciding to execute an application in a private cloud or in a hybrid private cloud and public cloud, the system comprising:
one or more processors; one or more data-storage devices; and a routine stored in the data-storage devices that when executed using the one or more processors
receives a set of quantitative parameters associated with running the application using computational services provided by a public cloud service provider;receives a set of organizational parameters associated with the enterprise;normalizes the quantitative and organizational parameters;inputs the normalized quantitative and organization parameters to a decision model that generates a recommendation that indicates exclusive use of a private cloud or a hybrid private cloud and public cloud to execute the application; andstores the recommendation on the one or more data-storage devices.
