Abstract


Cloud Computing is an environment where computing resources, such as processing power, storage, network, application, and other IT services, are provided to users as computing utility. This paper presents the university distributed databases consolidation and relocation to the cloud for the provision of Database as a Service (DBaaS), through their deployment into high availability, interactive, secure private cloud setup utilizing Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU) Private Cloud (BPC). This solution involves several transitions, and represents the main key step in BAU journey to the cloud to allow the university to achieve greater efficiency in terms of database services, and to improve performance, availability, interactivity, and security. The resulted service also reduces operating, management and capital costs.
