ANALISIS PEMANFAATAN LAYANAN BERBASIS CLOUD MENGGUNAKAN MICROSOFT AZURE

Perkembangan teknologi informasi beberapa tahun belakangan ini berkembang dengan sangat pesat, seiring perkembangan teknologi yang sangat cepat ini telah mengubah paradigma masyarakat dalam mencari dan menfaatkan informasi, yaitu tidak lagi terbatas pada informasi surat kabar, audio visual elektronik, tetapi juga sumber-sumber informasi lainnya yang salah satu diantaranya adalah jaringan internet. Kebutuhan akan jaringan internet sekarang sudah menjadi hal yang biasa bagi masyarakat luas, dimana banyaknya pengguna laptop, smartphone, tablet, sudah saling terhubung melalui jaringan internet untuk saling berbagi data dan informasi, dengan tingkat kebutuhuan yang sangat pesat, maka developer membentuk sebuah sistem jaringan yang berbasis awan (cloud). Bertujuan untuk keamanan pengguna jaringan dalam menyimpan data dan informasi. Microsoft sebagai platform teknologi menciptakan sebuah layanan berbasis PaaS (platform as a services) yang disebut microsoft azure, microsoft azure juga menyediakan layanan yang berbasis SaaS (software as a services) dan IaaS (infrastruktur as a services), teknologi ini memungkinkan untuk membangun sebuah apliaksi lansung di cloud. Microsoft azure memungkinkan pengguna dapat membuat service lansung di cloud, membuat aplikasi, membuat database, membuat cloud azure active directory sebagai services central user. Hal ini bisa dilakukan pula sinkroinisasi dengan active directory yang ada di server local. Serta pengguna juga masih bisa memanfaatkan berbagai macam layanan yang telah disediakan oleh microsoft azure untuk kebutuhuan bisinis IT pengguna. Kata kunci : Cloud computing, Paas, Microsoft azur

Reporting an Experience on Design and Implementation of e-Health Systems on Azure Cloud

Electronic Health (e-Health) technology has brought the world with significant transformation from traditional paper-based medical practice to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based systems for automatic management (storage, processing, and archiving) of information. Traditionally e-Health systems have been designed to operate within stovepipes on dedicated networks, physical computers, and locally managed software platforms that make it susceptible to many serious limitations including: 1) lack of on-demand scalability during critical situations; 2) high administrative overheads and costs; and 3) in-efficient resource utilization and energy consumption due to lack of automation. In this paper, we present an approach to migrate the ICT systems in the e-Health sector from traditional in-house Client/Server (C/S) architecture to the virtualised cloud computing environment. To this end, we developed two cloud-based e-Health applications (Medical Practice Management System and Telemedicine Practice System) for demonstrating how cloud services can be leveraged for developing and deploying such applications. The Windows Azure cloud computing platform is selected as an example public cloud platform for our study. We conducted several performance evaluation experiments to understand the Quality Service (QoS) tradeoffs of our applications under variable workload on Azure.Comment: Submitted to third IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Green Computing (CGC 2013

A Clouded Future: Analysis of Microsoft Windows Azure As a Platform for Hosting E-Science Applications

Microsoft Windows Azure is Microsoft\u27s cloud based platform for hosting .NET applications. Azure provides a simple, cost effective method for outsourcing application hosting. Windows Azure has caught the eye of researchers in e-science who require parallel computing infrastructures to process mountains of data. Windows Azure offers the same benefits to e-science as it does to other industries. This paper examines the technology behind Azure and analyzes two case studies of e-science projects built on the Windows Azure platform

Migrating on -premises application to windows azure platform (microsoft cloud)

Legacy systems are usually attached with outdated technologies which over time become a bottleneck for organizations to manage and maintain. Old and poorly utilized architecture make systems run slow and far from expected, however sometimes organization cannot live without those. Renewing application architecture can be considered as an option but it is time consuming and very costly. Cloud computing as an ultimate solution can be proposed to migrate on-premises application to a utilized environment in terms of infrastructure, computing power and virtualization. In addition, it provides a highly available and elastic computing environment which makes organizations to only pay for what they use. In this research, after a brief introduction to main concepts of cloud computing particularly Windows Azure platform (Microsoft Cloud), it is tried to analyze and assess OnePortfolio system developed by Riskk Sdn Bhd, to see whether it is feasible to be moved to Windows Azure. OnePortfolio operates on a SOA architecture comprised of three main components: services, client application and database. Throughout this research, Windows Azure migration lifecycle in compliance with ISO/IEC 14764 international standard is used as the methodology to perform the migration. Once the application is analyzed and migrated to cloud, it is compared to on-premises environment to evaluate its performance and security mechanism

Migrating medical communications software to a multi-tenant cloud environment

The rise of cloud computing has paved the way for many new applications. Many of these new cloud applications are also multi-tenant, ensuring multiple end users can make use of the same application instance. While these technologies make it possible to create many new applications, many legacy applications can also benefit from the added flexibility and cost-savings of cloud computing and multi-tenancy. In this paper, we describe the steps required to migrate a. NET-based medical communications application to the Windows Azure public cloud environment, and the steps required to add multi-tenancy to the application. We then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of our migration approach. We found that the migration to the cloud itself requires only a limited amount of changes to the application, but that this also limited the benefits, as individual instances would only be partially used. Adding multi-tenancy requires more changes, but when this is done, it has the potential to greatly reduce the cost of running the application

A Comparative Study of Cloud Computing Platforms

This article offers a comparison and analysis of three of the most widely used cloud computing platforms: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The research focuses on the most important aspects of each platform, such as the virtual machines they offer, the storage choices they provide, the database services they provide, and the serverless computing capabilities they provide. In addition to this, the paper discusses issues like as cost, availability, security, and scalability, as well as some of the positives and negatives associated with using each platform. The literature review that is included in this paper highlights some of the most important findings from recent studies on cloud computing platforms. These findings include the widespread use of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the difficulties that are encountered by organisations in the management of cloud computing resources, and the significance of aspects such as reliability, security, and cost when selecting a cloud computing platform. This article's overarching objective is to offer businesses a comprehensive introduction to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and to assist those businesses in making well-informed choices regarding which cloud platform is best suited to meet their requirements
