Cloud Management Simulation and Design

Abstract

The new paradigm of cloud computing infrastructure can be described as an integrated approach for restructuring processes in all functions considering customer values. Now a massive restructuring process based paradigm shift is required to address excellence with respect to criteria like cost, quality, delivery and service. This paper provides a good solution for enterprises to improve the utilization benefit of information resources in Cloud computing arena using simulation and modeling approach for the private cloud provisioning, cloud business process workflow design, ticketing system, change management etc. By the application of system dynamics, this paper conducts a qualitative and quantitative research on mechanism of information resources allocation in cloud computing, managed & shared services, Infrastructure management business process modeling (BPM) and simulation. The paper aims to create a dynamic cloud business process modeling mechanisms which helps managers understand better the dynamic interrelationships in organization design and, in particular, the interrelationships between an organization's profitability (both short-term and long-term) and investment in cloud computing and overall infrastructure. The intention of this paper is to put forward a conceptual framework of simulation and modeling framework, for assisting management in handling cloud workflow design, service management and business process modeling.
