CERTIFIED IT SERVICES IN-A-BOX FOR CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Ethan Hadar, Debra J. Danielson

Abstract

Certified IT Services in-a-box position paper describes a conceptual architecture and a debatable approach to increasing trust between cloud players, as well as increasing accountability of cloud services providers. The presented conceptual system is comprised of a combination of contemporary IT management services that provide modeling, assembly, automation, assurance and security of IT services, coupled with insurance-based financial remedies. The integrated system constantly conducts auditing and reporting that will be available upon demand in case of a defined incident, by insurance adjustors. This evidence is provided while maintaining the cloud encapsulation and abstraction premise. Business models that increase cloud services consumption; as well as enterprise level compliance fulfillment are among the offerings of this conceptual system. As a result, this paper leads to a hypothesis on the ability of integrated technologies to increase trust and reduce security concerns in cloud consumption, without detracting from the value proposition for cloud services.
