Organizations often rely on legacy systems, but cloud services offer better agility and cost-effectiveness. This study systematically reviews research on migrating legacy systems to the cloud, focusing on security concerns and identifying a need for secure migration models.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Software Engineering
- Information Systems
Background:
- Organizations depend on legacy applications for critical systems, facing challenges in maintainability and scalability.
- Cloud services provide agile, cost-effective alternatives for business applications and IT infrastructure.
- Increasing cloud adoption necessitates a deeper understanding of cloud migration research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically identify, categorize, and compare existing research on legacy-to-cloud migration.
- To consolidate and classify research on security issues in cloud migration.
- To provide a conceptual model for categorizing cloud migration studies.
Main Methods:
- Conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of thirty selected papers published between 2009 and 2014.
- Classified studies based on a proposed conceptual model for cloud migration.
- Analyzed research on security frameworks hindering cloud adoption.
Main Results:
- Cloud migration research is in its early stages but is actively evolving and maturing.
- A resource base of existing cloud migration solutions was developed.
- Identified security as a primary concern and a key factor in cloud adoption.
Conclusions:
- There is a significant need for a secure migration model to enhance organizational trust in cloud migration.
- The development of tools to automate the migration process is crucial.
- Continued academic and industrial participation is vital for the maturation of cloud migration research.
