Design and Evaluation of a Data Management Solution for a Small to Medium Sized Enterprise using Cloud Simulator

The growing demand for data management and business growth has led many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt cloud computing solutions. This paper proposes a cloud computing strategy for SMEs, aimed at providing them with the necessary tools to keep pace with the growing volume of data and accommodate business growth. The strategy considers the limited resources and budget constraints of SMEs and their need for scalable and secure data storage. A comprehensive analysis of cloud models and services was conducted, and the Cloud Analyst tool was used for simulation purposes. The results of the simulation were analyzed based on multiple parameters, including response time, space utilization, and cost-effectiveness, providing valuable insights into the potential benefits of the proposed strategy for SMEs.
