Abstract

Cloud computing and e-business are very popular at the moment – both activities are highly effective. Migration from the traditional e-business system to the cloud system is not so easy and is accompanied with a number of shocks and compromises that have to be made. The benefits that cloud technology offers are many: cloud technology saves the cost of IT infrastructure and highly qualified special­ists; it reduces capital costs and improves cash flow. Companies can retain maximum flexibility by hiring hardware resources that are needed necessary. Rather than focus on the construc­tion and maintenance of networks and servers, e-business companies spend more time and resources on their clients. The cloud technolo­gies provide a test environment with low price in order to carry out experiments of new business models and projects. The problems that have to be solved are too many. Some are connected to the security and law - companies lost the opportunity of physi­cal control of data that are placed in the cloud. Cloud service providers are generally not able to guarantee the physical location of the company information – where is server or set of serv­ers. Virtualization, on which the cloud is based, makes this impossible. Many companies are not aware of how their data are protected. Other problems affect the technology and construction of the system itself. To maximize the benefits of the e-business systems that are cloud based, companies have to rewrite their applications, refit their entire architecture, renew security etc. The applications that have to work in a cloud have to be assembled from many in­dividual parts. Only after that they may use the benefits of the cloud environment. Much of today’s business is done through mobile devices. To be adapted e-business sys­tem to work with such devices it needs to be changed, reprogrammed to meet there requirements for working with touch screen, small dis­play, zooming the text and images. What is the future of cloud-based e-business systems? It will depend on successful combina­tion of the above factors
