Flexible Information System Infrastructure Solutions for Small and Medium Enterprises

Abstract

Digital transformation for businesses is a matter of great concern at the moment. One of the solutions for this could be based on cloud computing services and technologies that have never been growing faster and more mature than today. It’s very convenient to build a business that can go global in minutes. But that comes with a cost: cloud vendor-locked and requires knowledge for efficiency usage and cost management. For a business that is small and newborn, it doesn’t yet ready to go global, their customers primarily rely on the same state where they’re doing business, the data are required to be bound within the border, and a cloud computing solution is not suitable for them. Building information systems therefore needs an optimal solution: build at the right scale at the beginning, ready to move to the cloud or in hybrid mode. To do that, businesses need knowledge about designing and building infrastructure for information systems to meet that requirement. This study will focus on proposing a flexible solution for the design and in-depth analysis of infrastructure for such an information system.
