Paper Abstract:
|
The paper contains a brief description of activities concerning the problem of Cloud Computing (CC) in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Poland, especially in the perspective of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS). Significant aspects of CC have been discussed, e.g.: using CC systems in Poland at present and legal aspects and limitations to using CC. It is assumed that CC may be useful to reduce the cost of developing and maintaining IT systems. The research described is based on scoping review to identify relevant studies published in the literature recently. Examples of solutions resulting from them are characterized, tested and analyzed. It may be observed that, despite some advantages, CC systems are used in few SMEs. Also, security issues in CC are an important element, taken into account by the author of this paper. The main methods used in this study were interviews, observation, literature study on CC but the most important part of the article is a description of the tests and research of CC systems available in Poland. In addition, the work contains assumptions regarding further development of models of CC in Poland with particular emphasis on SMEs. |
