Abstract

When developing an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) project, critical infrastructure represents significant costs. One must also consider issues such as latency of intercommunication, scalability and stability of real-time processing. These issues can make researchers doubt when it comes to deciding whether to use cloud computing architecture or traditional architecture in a project, a choice that affects the budget and the viability of the process. With the aim of supporting this type of analysis and facilitating the choice of structure to implement, this article presents a case study where a real-time meteorological analysis project was used on both platforms at the same time, and where performance of cloud technologies versus physical technologies was assessed. This work describes the operating systems, advantages and characteristics of both approaches. These data can provide a basis for the choice of one alternative over the other, according to the requirements of the project. In order to assess the project, it was implemented on on-premise platforms and on cloud computing platforms; this made it possible to compare both technologies and determine differences in their infrastructure, safety, performance and reliability. To implement the model, a traditional virtualization model was used, using the Esxi 6.0 Hypervisor from VMware. For the Cloud infrastructure, Microsoft Azure was used for virtualization.
