Abstract

Targeting at methodological limitations in the decision-making of enterprise cloud computing adoption, this paper analyzes the main influence factors affecting enterprise cloud computing, builds up their hierarchical structures, and works out 8 key influence factors affecting cloud computing models, based on the structural model theory in system engineering. A quantitative method is provided for the selection of optimal or recommended enterprise cloud computing models, in terms of the relationship valuations among key influence factors, cloud computing models, and the factor weights for a specific enterprise.

Key words

enterprise cloud computing / structural models / selection of cloud computing models / influence factors of cloud computing
