For this Cloud Services and Distributed Computing CA we have been asked to conduct a detailed assessment of Microsoft Azure Cloud solution for use in an Information Technology company. The following report will give some background into Microsoft Azure from its development and competition to its impact on the cloud services industry as well as show the results of that assessment through research and use of the

It is virtual operating system hosted in the cloud and it can be configured to suit the needs of a specific user. With an Azure VM a user can create it as any operating system you wish, as well as connect a multitude of Virtual Machines together to share the load of work between them, so as to spare once using all of it resources. A Virtual Machine is Scalable and easily figured, using cmdlets in PowerShell allows you to manage the Virtual Machine or even delete and recreate one if it is not to the users liking. A Virtual Machine is invaluable to an organization as it allows them to have a multitude of machines without having to physically buy and store them. This leads to a cut down in premises costs and because Azure uses an open approach it would be wise for an organization to utilize a Virtual Machine sourced from Azure as it will allow the installation of most virtual images. Creating a Virtual Machine within Azure is fairly easy. Simply open up the management portal and select Virtual Machine from the list of options. The user will be prompted for the DNS name, Image, Size, a username and password to access the machine and also the geo region. After filling in the required information the machine will enter a provisional running mode for a few minutes and then the user will have full access to configure the machine if need be. The user now has the ability to monitor all the information such as the CPU percentage in
This model provides highest level of control, flexibility and management over the IT resources • Platform as a Service (PaaS): Platform as a service removes the need for organizations to manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware and operating systems) and allow you to focus on the deployment and management of your applications. This model helps one to be more efficient. • Software as a Service (SaaS): This is top layer of cloud computing platform. This platform is typically built on top of a Platform as a service solution.

As the technology marches forward introducing every time we turn around a new, improved device or computer program this constant adaptation undoubtedly affects every part of our financial life. One must agree that iPhones, for example, which become almost absolute after two or three years of use due to evolving computer science must create an economic burden for some American families. The same way, all hospitals must struggle with maintaining technological sharpness while assuring the presence of digital innovation despite the existing financial limitations. To illustrate the monetary hindrance in the VA Hospital, I would like to bring to the attention a problem related to cloud-based application necessary for managing and storing information.
I delivered 2 phases of this product which increased our cloud capacity predictable agility from 3 months to 6weeks. Cross team initiative that I am driving derived above results without compromising the customer experience & service reliability. Initial phases of this automation are powering millions of server’s procurements, deployment decisions across 100’s of datacenter. I drove customer research, plan & roadmap for successful launch of Office 365 Go Local (Australia, India, UK, Canada), Go Sovereign (Germany) & US Govt cloud to tap into 20 million seats.
With the demands and high tempo of standing up the new cyber field, the U.S. Army will not only require technical experts, but strong proven leaders to mentor and guide the next generation of cyber professionals. I firmly believe that SSG Worley has shown that he is more than capable of being such a leader. As a result, I am pleased to recommend SSG Worley for the Warrant Officer Candidate Program and the 170A Cyber Operations

Junior year was a bit challenging for me. It was not challenging because of the work, but I joined a career program. I had to keep up with both of my schools. For me to be successful with so many things going on, I had to stay organized and think ahead. My success was that I kept all my grades above a C+.
Moving forward, now we will discuss two elements of IaaS and they are the benefits and the limitations. Commencing with the benefits, there are 5 benefitical factors we will highlight which includes Scailability, Reduction in down time, Minimal maintenance of hardware, Cost savings and enhanced Security & Disaster Recovery. Beginning with Scalability, this is considered as a top and most popular benefit that IaaS has to offer. It kicks the traditional infrastructure out the window and you have the ability to scale up your system and it is on demand. This is done efficiently, quickly and in addition to this, it does minimise downtime in which we will cover more as we move forward in this discussion.
David Ward Dr. Powell Principles of Info Systems November 12, 2015 Cloud Project The purpose of this project is to investigate different cloud services that are being offered in today’s marketplace, analyze their different benefits as well as negatives, and pick a company who offers services that suits my business best. Regardless of what website we are looking at, all of the websites are offering the same thing, which is a cloud service. Cloud computing service providers can provide IT services, ranging from storage space all the way to complete applications. This has become a viable service, as these companies have the ability to provide IT services with higher quality and more efficiently than their customers can.

Microsoft Xbox One Xbox One is a successful gaming console created by Microsoft. The company really outdid themselves using high quality and top of the line graphics.

Spring, summer, winter, and fall! We all have that season that’s either special to us or the way the season looks. Imagine yourself driving down the road, what changes? Trees! It’s the season kid’s start going back to school, Festival time, and Thanksgiving.
My most positive characteristic is being very straightforward because I don’t like the feeling of being limited by different forces, neither internal or external. A positive thing about being straightforward is that it can help to prevent myself or my group from unnecessary damages, especially with communication issues because sometimes we, as humans, talk around our issues and not really mention it to avoid any harmful statement we may have. This is why, although no one really likes to hear bad things about them, what they're doing, thinking, or etc. , it’s still necessary because it can be used to better improve ourself. However, this is also my tragic flaw, because being straightforward really means that one is willing to share his or her
