Modeling Cloud Architecture in Banking Systems

With the development of the Internet's new technical functionalities, new concepts have started to take shape. These concepts have an important role especially in the development of corporate IT. Such a concept is “the Cloud”. Cloud computing represents a big change in the way computing is done in corporations. It encompasses all the optimizations that a company needs in order to succeed nowadays. Among the base elements of many familiar technologies across the years there were the distributed systems that contributed to the development of Cloud computing, Grid computing and Utility computing. From our work experience we are going to analyze and asses the cloud adoption decision in a banking environment's context. This paper presents a use-case that shows business problems addressed by using Cloud computing and business considerations that influence an organization to use Cloud computing.
