In the scenario for this course, you are a member of the IT team at Don & Associates, a financial consulting company that provides services to small- and
medium-sized companies. Because the company is looking to expand into neighboring states within the Northeast region, its leaders have tasked you with
determining if cloud computing is a viable solution to the need for infrastructure. In this project, you will develop a detailed comparative analysis of cloud
vendors and their services. A comparative analysis provides an item-by-item comparison of two or more alternatives, processes, products, or systems. In this
case, you will compare the pros/cons of the cloud service providers in terms of security, ease of use, service models, services/tools they provide, pricing,
technical support, cloud service providers’ infrastructure, and architecture model.
