Description and justification of Information architecture

The cloud computing is defined as one of the distributed architecture that is mainly implemented with the help of proper as well as effective advancement in the Internet Technology. In this structure the interface of the user is mainly developed with the help of  proper internet browser (Wu etal. 2015). It is identified that the main logic of the business is mainly developed at various layer of application of the cloud. With the help of appropriate development of browser technology, it is identified that the structure is very much helpful in gaining certain powerful features that include scalability, global availability, virtualization and more. It is considered as one of the internet based technology for utilizing various system software.

 The diagram reflects that it has three layers and each of the layers helps in providing very much different services. The first layer consists of servers, storage as well as networking (Tidd 2014).  The second layer discusses the facility that is managed by the cloud services. In the third layers it is reflected that various mobile web services, workflow as well as cloud programming facility is provided with  the client layer that generally corresponds towards the internet browser which is incorporated within the  application of web database. It helps in supporting different clients as well as also assists in connecting to various software that are associated with the web services with help of portal service that is present on the cloud. It is identified that service layer generally corresponds to various web server that is present on the cloud. It helps in realizing the entire logic of the business, time transformation logic, workflow logic as well as access logic. This logics are generally encapsulated as one of the web server in order to offer access to the clients.

Technology architecture       

Web services  related with cloud helps in creating proper collaboration within the business application. It is identified that the various components of web services helps in visiting different standard protocols for realizing appropriate collaboration across the information.. The figure that is drawn below that helps in reflecting the customer layer is created making a comparison with the web program that is incorporated into application framework of web dataabse structure on the cloud (Abolfazliet al. 2014). It bolsters numerous customers, and associates with the product Web administrations through the entrance benefit on cloud. Benefit layer relates to the web server on the cloud. It understands entire business logic, including the time change logic, business logic, work process logic and information get to logic. These logics are generally embodied as a brought together Web server on the cloud to give access to the customer (Abbaset al. 2015). Foundation information mix layer compares to database server on the cloud utilizing big tables. It gives proper access to benefit different sources of information.
