Integrative framework for assessing firms' potential to undertake Green IT initiatives via virtualization - A theoretical perspective (2011, background): “As a catalyst for creating a paradigm shift and a wave of innovation and change in the globe (Greengard, 2010), cloud computing can help organizations of all sizes go green by providing a shared and on-demand infrastructure with virtualization capabilities (Durkee, 2010; Vouk, 2008).”
A critical review of cloud computing: researching desires and realities (2012, background): “Such standardised and simpler contracts for well-defined cloud services allow the use of simpler high-volume purchase channels such as credit cards (Tilson et al ., 2010) with little or no direct interaction between user and provider (Armbrust et al ., 2010; Durkee, 2010).”
Cost- and deadline-constrained provisioning for scientific workflow ensembles in IaaS clouds (2012, background): “Resource management decisions required in cloud scenarios not only have to take into account performance-related metrics such as workflow makespan or resource utilization, but must also consider budget constraints, since the resources from commercial clouds usually have monetary costs associated wit”
A survey on security issues and solutions at different layers of Cloud computing (2012, neutral): “For example, through back channel, attackers may be able to access the content of Cloud instances and fix a kernel level rootkit [14].”
Heterogeneity in Mobile Cloud Computing: Taxonomy and Open Challenges (2014, background): “There is a notion [18] that business competition also diversifies cloud providers with their heterogeneous frameworks, exacerbating heterogeneity on the cloud side.”
Depot: Cloud Storage with Minimal Trust (2010, background): “For example, one customer discovered after repeated disk failures that his large ISP reused old disk drives in new servers until they failed [36].”
Opportunities and Challenges of Cloud Computing to Improve Health Care Services (2011, background): “The result is variable leading to unpredictable performance in the service [57].”
