Abstract

Currently, the IT infrastructure architecture of Thai government agencies mostly use the silo-based design. This is because IT budgets were granted for projects where the application software and hardware are bundled together. It causes difficulty for data center resources to be shared across multiple projects, leading to inefficient resource utilization and the lack of data integration. Since data integration is the core concept of Thailand's IT strategy, cloud computing is a cutting-edge technology that focuses on resource sharing and seamless data integration. However, there lacks evident research about a cloud architecture that is suitable for Thai government agencies because the limitations of Thai government policies and a wide variety of cloud services in Thailand. Henceforth, the purpose of this work aims to study and compare existing cloud architectures and its services in terms of security, privacy, pricing, flexibility, reliability, and management. The study also attempts to design and define the Hybrid Community Cloud model in order to apply cloud computing as a blueprint for Thai government agencies. The result of this study indicated that the proposed model appears to be the most appropriate model for government agencies in Thailand. Moreover, this study also presents the implementation of the hybrid model for the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand. ฉ 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.
