We propose that research data management capabilities be delivered to users as hosted “software as a service” (SaaS). We report on a system, Globus Online, that adopts this approach, initially for a small set of data movement functions. Globus Online leverages modern Web 2.0 technologies to provide fire-and-forget file transfers, automatic fault recovery, and high performance, while also simpli...

Currently, most library systems use the client/server and ASP services for their software. However, such systems are difficult to manage and incur high operating costs because of the problems related to high HW and SW purchasing costs, installation and distribution, customization, upgrades, fault and problem management, and costly license royalties. To solve such problems, this study developed ...

The emergence of Grid computing and Service Oriented Architectures has led to evolution in terms of how applications are built and managed. Software as a service (SaaS), also known as the on-demand model, is changing the way businesses of all sizes and in all industries use software. These services are provided by different vendors. Some time similar services are provided by the various vendors...

Virtual desktop infrastructures (VDIs) are a system on a server platform that hosts multiple virtual machines (VMs). Traditionally, VDIs are on-premise and thus are completely supported and maintained internally by an organization; hence, they can be costly and inefficient to maintain and support. In this paper, TrimCloud is proposed as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution to on-premise VDIs...

Merdeka Learning is one of the breakthroughs in education carried out by Government Indonesia. One form activity from student exchange. However, not all universities Indonesia have implemented e-learning properly due to high cost developing and implementing this system. Software as a Service (SaaS) fork Cloud Computing that can create configurable systems for use multiple users, especially mult...

The evolving literature on the new Software as a Service (SaaS) concept gives a coherent picture of the technical arrangements required between the vendor and the customer in order to enable the new online renting of applications. Many of these articles describe the new SaaS model as a new and customer-friendly way of IT outsourcing, where the vendor will own both the software and the IT infras...

A multi-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) application delivers customized run-time application to each tenant using a single application. Multi-tenancy offers several advantages including quick application deployment, reduced application maintenance, effective version control, and much more. However, handling large datacenter resources and providing better Quality of Service (QoS) is a major ...

In most cases authors are permitted to post their version of the article (e.g. in Word or Tex form) to their personal website or institutional repository. Authors requiring further information regarding Elsevier's archiving and manuscript policies are encouraged to visit: a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o SaaS has attracted interest among researchers and practitioners. Despite the importanc...

Most large-scale organizations adopted Cloud Computing (CC) on a company level in recent years. Managers now face the challenge to appropriately implement CC "operationally", i.e., for information systems (ISs). We refer this as post-adoption, addressing extent of technology usage after adoption. Specifically, managers need choose among delivery models Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platfo...
