運用雲端運算服務,企業不需負擔軟硬體的投資與維護成本,可以快速佈署與運用有限的經營資源,並且簡化企業的營運及管理作業,從而確保有效率的協同作業,進以提升企業競爭力。但是,有不少的企業對於導入雲端運算服務,尚有疑慮,例如隱私權的保護、資料與服務的可用性和整合性、公司資料的機密性。因而,有些企業傾向採用內部雲的解決方案。有些國際知名的資訊廠商,已經陸續推出內部雲或私有雲的解決方案,例如,微軟推出私有雲的企業版DDCT-E平臺工具,IBM則提供打造內部雲的解決方案。至於台灣的內部雲市場,處於尚在起步的階段,商機無限。為此,產學合作廠商著眼於內部雲市場的商機,從日本引進一套內部雲的解決方案。然而,產學合作廠商受限於人力不足,希望獲得行銷策略與促銷推廣的支援。本研究團隊曾經接獲許多政府與民間的研究專案,風評甚佳,因而,產學合作廠商希望與本研究團隊共同研發,建構企業導入內部雲方案之評估模式,從而提升營業與獲利績效。
Cloud computing involves making computing, data storage, and software services available via the Internet, which has the potential to offer services on demand, at lower cost than current options, together with less complexity, greater scalability, and wider reach. Cloud computing services can be viewed as service solutions based on the cloud computing. Utilizing cloud computing services may advance an enterprise's competitiveness. However, enterprises are worrying about issues such as: data security; reliability; data logging; as well as speed and the inevitable latency. Hence, a number of enterprises intend to introduce the internal cloud solution. Yet, the definition of the internal/ private cloud is still not reached unanimity. Although big players like Microsoft and IBM Corp. have developed internal/ private cloud solutions, the internal cloud market in Taiwan is still an introduction-stage segment. For the purpose of catching the business opportunities in terms of the internal cloud, the scientific and educational cooperation has introduced an internal cloud solution from Japan. The cooperative company has not enough resource to conduct researches in terms of the marketing strategy and promotion. Therefore, the cooperative company requires our help to develop an evaluation model of the internal cloud introduction for making business success.
