Good Foods wants to know the differences in performance metrics

between the internal benchmarks of its current system and the external

benchmarks of the cloud-based services you have reviewed.

Consider
that the company currently connects all systems, stores, and employees
over LANs (at each corporate site and store), VPNs (for remote access as
needed), and a WAN (for access to organization-wide applications and
services). It runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise on 10 operational
servers and Microsoft 8 on 3,000 workstations (including desktops and
laptops) for employees.

Each of the Windows Server 2008
Enterprise systems has two AMD processors, 32 GB of RAM, and optical
hard drives. Each of the Microsoft 8 systems has a single Intel
processor, 4 GB of RAM, and optical hard drives.

To complete this
assignment, identify in a spreadsheet the differences between the Good
Foods servers and workstations and the cloud-based services provided by
at least two of the vendors you have reviewed for the organization.
Include statistics for the following metrics:

Hardware

• CPU computing power
• Memory bandwidth

Storage

• Input/Output operations per second (IOPS)

Networking

• Bandwidth

Then, in a minimum of 4 pages, include the following information:

• Summarize the performance results from your internal benchmark findings.
• Identify
  which vendor(s) may be a fit for the Good Foods company, based on the
  company’s current needs. Address processing speed, load testing
  practices, service consistency, and data availability and reliability in
  your review. Justify your recommendation.
• Review and describe
  at least 2 reputable benchmarking tools you would recommend to Good
  Foods to use when evaluating the performance of its cloud-based
  services. Justify your recommendation by the value the tool would
  provide the company looking to assess its cloud-based solutions in the
  future.

Use APA formatting style (title page, references page, and in-text citations).
