Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Many businesses are moving their infrastructure to the cloud and may not fully understand the factors that can increase costs. With so many factors available to improve throughput in a database, it can be difficult for a database administrator to know which factors can provide the best efficiency to maintain lower costs. Grounded in Six Sigma theoretical framework, the purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to evaluate the relationship between the time of day, the number of concurrent users, InnoDB buffer pool size, InnoDB Input/Output capacity, and MySQL transaction throughput to a MySQL database running on a cloud, virtual, …

Relationship Between Specific Security Concerns And Cio Intention To Adopt Cloud, Johnathan Francis Van Houten

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Cloud computing adoption rates have not grown commensurate with several well-known and substantially tangible benefits such as horizontal distribution and reduced cost, the latter both in terms of infrastructure and specialized personnel. The lack of adoption presents a challenge to both service providers from a sales perspective and service consumers from a usability focus. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study utilizing the technological, organizational, and environmental framework was to examine the relationship between shared technology (ST), malicious insiders (MI), account hijacking, data leakage, data protection, service partner trust (SP), regulatory concerns and the key decision-makers intention to adopt cloud …

Factors Influencing Cloud Computing Adoption By Small Firms In The Payment Card Industry, Marie Njanje Tambe

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Technology acceptance is increasingly gaining attention in research considering the continuous exploits of innovation and various derived advantages. Cloud computing (CC) has shown to be the ideal solution for aligning information technology with business strategies. However, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the payment card industry are reluctantly adopting this technology despite the benefits. This correlational study aims at investigating whether security, cost effectiveness, or regulatory compliance influence CC adoption by U.S. SMEs in the payment card sector. The study builds on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework and uses a previously validated instrument to assess CC adoption by decision-makers in U.S. …
