A framework architecture based model for cloud computing adaptive migration

Cloud computing is increasingly adopted by organizations at a rapid pace thanks to its attractive characteristics. However, this adoption is not yet structured enough to guarantee a successful migration towards these environments. Several questions are raised but not yet entirely answered since this new form of computing offering is still in its formative stage. Main difficulties are confronted specially because cloud computing change radically IT infrastructure and more generally architecture. This paper thus proposes a model for cloud computing adaptive migration to guide the organization throughout the migration process while taking into consideration architectural principles and constraints.
