Recent research on cloud computing adoption indicates that there has been a lack of deep understanding of its benefits by managers and organizations. This has been an obstacle for adoption. We report on an initial design for a firm-level cloud computing readiness metrics suite. We propose categories and measures to form a set of metrics to measure adoption readiness and assess the required adjustments in strategy and management, technology and operations, and business policies. We reviewed the relevant interdisciplinary literature and interviewed industry professionals to ground our metrics based on theory and practice knowledge. We identified four relevant categories for …

Cloud computing provides users with great flexibility when provisioning resources, with cloud providers offering a choice of reservation and on-demand purchasing options. Reservation plans offer cheaper prices, but must be chosen in advance, and therefore must be appropriate to users' requirements. If demand is uncertain, the reservation plan may not be sufficient and on-demand resources have to be provisioned. Previous work focused on optimally placing virtual machines with cloud providers to minimize total cost. However, many applications require large amounts of network bandwidth. Therefore, considering only virtual machines offers an incomplete view of the system. Exploiting recent developments in software …
