Dac‐Nhuong Le, Souvik Pal, Prasant Kumar Pattnaik · 2022
Cloud computing is a model that enables convenient access to network resources like web services, such as email, virtual servers and file transfers, over the network. Reliability of cloud services is one of the key concerns in cloud services. However, reliability of cloud services is not an easy task in large scalable environments and where there is a large amount of traffic from converged data networks. Also, converged data networks present many challenges in the cloud environment. The challenges can range from bandwidth concerns and security flaws. Hence, this study explores the reliability concerns of cloud services. It also seeks to explore the effects of convergence in cloud services. In achieving the objectives of this study, qualitative methods were used. Qualitative data was collected using an open-ended questionnaire. The data was then interpretively analyzed using the content analysis method. Based on the analysis, bandwidth, security and traffic issues were found to be the main issues.
