OPTIMIZATION OF COMPUTER NETWORK FUNCTIONING PROCESS USING CLOUD SERVICES

Abstract

In recent years, cloud computing technologies have significantly influenced the development of computer networks. The article considers approaches to optimizing the process of functioning of computer networks with the help of cloud services. Special attention is paid to the economic feasibility of using cloud services and the possible challenges that organizations may face. The paper analyzes modern cloud technologies: the main models of cloud computing (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and their application in network infrastructures are considered. Attention was paid to the security of cloud services. The paper evaluates the security of cloud services. The main challenges and solutions related to ensuring data security and access to them in cloud environments are given. A mathematical model of optimization is proposed. During the research, a mathematical model was formulated that takes into account key factors (costs, time, delay, security) for the optimal allocation of resources in the cloud environment. An economic feasibility analysis was conducted: a study of the economic benefits of using cloud services to optimize computer networks in comparison with traditional approaches was conducted. A new methodology for transition to the cloud environment was developed, according to which a transition strategy must be developed for a successful transition to the cloud. A cloud strategy is critical for every organization, no matter where they are on their cloud journey. The method of developing a strategy for the implementation of cloud technologies in computer networks was described. The paper proposes directions for further research in this area and identifies the challenges of using cloud services. The article offers promising ways of further development of cloud technologies in the field of network infrastructures.
