Assignment

There are different kinds of cloud technologies (e.g. the public cloud, the private cloud, and a hybrid mix of cloud networks). In this assignment, you are going to examine the different kinds and look at ways to manage and implement them for your network and make recommendations on their usefulness.

Assignment Guidelines

• Research cloud computing topologies

• Explain some of the challenges in implementing and managing cloud topologies (make sure you include relevant skills needed to manage a cloud network for an organization)

• List and describe the differences between open, private, and hybrid cloud topologies and make sure to consider emerging technology that could impact cloud topologies

• Give a recommendation on the type of cloud your organization would implement (if you do not have an organization, research and choose one and assuming that you are the IT director for it, make a recommendation regarding what cloud model would you implement)
