Q1. What is the challenge of system integration currently experienced by companies?

1. The companies are facing various challenges related to the system integration. The SI is more focused towards constant approach rather than adopting the ways which are much needed in the current scenario. There are services which are not much compliant with the latest technological trends. The difficulty is being experienced in integration of the current systems.

2. Application Support: Most of the applications are not supported by various systems. The several issues have been faced in providing the support to the application to run on different platforms. There are various applications which may not be supported by some of the vendor. So the development scenario needs to be met in complying with the platforms.

3. Dependency on Platform Service Providers: The companies need to be dependent upon third party vendors to get the services of system integration. In this scenario there is greater dependency on the platform service providers for the support and various changes which is needed to be done.

4. Inefficient in Operation: The system integration has a problem persisting related to inefficiency. There is large number of bandwidth loss has been experienced in the network. The system integrations systems prove to be inefficient.

5. The system integration sometimes doesn't works well with the traditional systems which are already in use. This is a very great problem as the company needs to implement a supported infrastructure that can facilitate system integration. Integration challenges of cloud computing.

Q2. In addition to recovering, what are the advantages of cloud computing?

1.Reduced Cost: The cost of cloud computing is very less. As cloud computing is based upon third party platform providers there is no need to implement a physical infrastructure. The costs can be saved in buying costly networking devices. Instead of it the cloud services can be purchased on the basis of subscription based services from the platform providers. The company can pay the costs according to their use and requirements of the services.

2.Easy to implement: The services can be easily implemented through the use of cloud based services and platform providers. There is no complexity in operating cloud based services from the end-user perspective. The end users and companies can easily take the benefits of cloud based and services and can implement it easily on their end.

3.Accessibility: The cloud offers variety of services. The company can take benefits of these services very easily. They can access it in a very easy manner without any complexity.

4.Minimization of Software Licences: The cloud computing offers variety of services without the requirement of software licences which are needed to be purchased for the network infrastructures. Cloud solves the problem of software license very easily.

5.The large number of processes and work can be handled easily without requiring the number of human resource personnel to handle the cloud based infrastructure. The maintenance and operational services can be taken care by the platform and service providers. Benefits of cloud computing.

Q.3. if you plan to use cloud computing in system integration as your independent study topic, what is your study outline? Based on my previous question, please prepare a study plan and focus on one or two major issues about this topic to study. Please send me that plan.

The system integration which is distributed as a cloud based services is called cloud based integration. In this various services of system integration is delivered through the cloud based service model. The iPaaS and dPaaS are the two main essential suites which are provided under these cloud based integration services. The iPaaS is much more focused towards managing the cloud based services on the consumers end. In this all the deployment and management is done by the end consumers. It supports various features through which consumers can use the benefits of cloud without installing any middleware.

The feature is the dPaaS in which all the deployment and maintenance is done by cloud based platform providers services. All the deployments and executions are handled by the cloud platform provider. The end users only tend to use the services, they are not involved in the operating scenario of these services.

Q.4. If you plan to work cloud computing, please describe: what you plan to do and how you plan to do it?

The cloud computing is a very trending technology these days. It is the best way to host the network services as it provides a cheaper and convenient option to host all the services and applications. Through the use of services and platforms provided by cloud, the company doesn't needs to spent huge amount for buying network related devices or in developing a network for their organisation. They can easily choose the option of cloud computing.

The Software as a Service (SaaS) provides the easy way to host the software which can be easily used by other employees of the organisation. It solves the problem of software licensing as well. The software can be purchased on the subscription basis and can be used in a very low cost.

In terms of doing work on cloud, it will be a very great option to host the services in the cloud. In case of developing a application, it backend or database can be hosted on cloud based infrastructure so that the app may not much space in the devices. Through this the end users can easily use the app in support of the services which are hosted on the cloud based platforms.
