Mobile Number Portability Using a Reliable Cloud Database Appliance to Match Predictable Performance

Abstract

The great interest for deploying applications in cloud infrastructures is rapidly growing due to its convenience and ease of use. Despite, the large number of different applications migrated to cloud, there are still applications that are not frequently met on cloud infrastructures. Applications defined as time critical or data-intensive are applications of this kind. The need of high resilience alongside with high performance lead these types of applications to run on mainframes, rather than on cloud infrastructures, as cloud is not able to satisfy them under strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and without predictable performance. To investigate further this area this paper aims to report on the research issues around time critical and data-intensive applications deployed on cloud and present Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Use Case migration to cloud with predictable performance.
