Solução em nuvem: um estudo de caso para as Forças Armadas

Abstract

In the current economic scenario, most large government organizations are faced with the dilemma of how to maintain the excellence of the service rendered to the population as a result of the need to cut spending in these institutions. Generally, areas that deal directly with the Information Technology (IT) are the first to suffer the effects of cost control, for IT, often, is an activity-through for these agencies and not the end. This makes it extremely interesting for the administration to find solutions that bypass and adapt to this reality, alternatives to reduce costs without affecting the efficiency of the service. The cloud solution fits in this context. The main idea of Cloud Computing (CN) is to store information and applications in the data center of the service providers rather than on local servers of the company. Thus, the benefits of adopting this technology are many, as the cost savings generated by the optimization of the IT infrastructure, the solution itself has a reduced complexity for customers and moreover, there is a considerable increase in scalability. However, government agencies such as the military (Armed Forces), where an item of importance to your business is the confidentiality of their data, and there is no possibility to give that up, are building their own clouds, so-called private clouds. In order to discuss and expand the literature about the subject will be presented in this monograph the peculiarities of IT services run by the armed forces of Brazil, a feasibility analysis for the implementation of CN these military organizations, comparing some possible solutions and focusing on duality safety versus cost. At the end of this comparative study, the best solution that fits the military reality will be presented.
