A framework of enterprise cloud application

Cloud computing is a significant trend with the potential to increase agility and lower costs. However, security risks, immature technology, and other concerns prevent widespread enterprise adoption of external clouds. One major reason is the lack of a systematic engineering process and tool supported by reusable architectural artifacts. Most existing Cloud computing platforms have not formally adopted the service-oriented architecture (SOA) that would make them more flexible, extensible, and reusable. By bridges the power of SOA and cloud in the context of enterprises application, extending enterprise security and control into the cloud This paper presents five framework principles and derives three interconnected framework modules to form a reusable and customizable enterprise cloud application framework. We also present some potential value-added services of the proposed the framework to guide strategic planning for enterprises moving to cloud.
