Question 1

What cloud computing models should ArduinoSoft use, and how would each benefit the company?

Answer 1

• IaaS – Lets them rent virtual servers for running ERP or inventory systems. Scales easily with demand.
• PaaS – Helps them build apps (e.g., dashboards or supply chain tracking) without worrying about the OS or hardware.
• SaaS – Allows quick use of ready-made ERP/inventory tools like SAP or NetSuite.
• Hybrid Cloud – Keeps sensitive data on-premises but uses cloud for scalability and analytics.

Question 2

When is it better to offload processing from a smartphone to the Cloud?

Answer 2

1. Heavy workloads (e.g., AI video analysis) – saves battery and uses more powerful cloud CPUs/GPUs.
   
   2. Data aggregation – cloud combines data from many users/devices for smarter analytics.

Question 3

What questions would you ask before advising ShkupiTechnology on moving to the Cloud?

Answer 3

1. What apps or services do you currently run on-premises?
   
   2. How sensitive is your data (e.g., IP, client info)?
   3. What performance requirements do your applications have?
   4. Do you need to scale resources quickly?
   5. What is your current IT team’s cloud expertise?
   6. How much are you spending on your private datacenter?
   7. Do you have uptime/availability goals?
   8. Are there any legal or compliance restrictions for your data?
   9. Would you prefer full control (private) or flexibility (public/hybrid)?
   10. What’s your budget for the transition and long-term cloud costs?

Question 5

When should processing stay on the smartphone?

Answer 5

1. Poor internet connection – cloud offloading won’t work offline or in unstable networks.
   
   2. Real-time tasks (e.g., AR, gaming) – low latency is critical, so processing should happen locally.

Question 6

What are two advantages if ZeginHealth moves its portal to the cloud?

Answer 6

1. Scalability – can easily handle the growing number of users.
   
   2. Reduced infrastructure maintenance – cloud provider manages the hardware.

Question 7
