Enterprise Architecture Framework Oriented to Cloud Computing Services

Cloud Computing (CC) is a computing infrastructure paradigm that provides elasticity to software or hardware solutions on organizations, and is more powerful than traditional architectures for storage, processing, and distribution of data. Meanwhile, Enterprise Architecture (EA) describes organization's structure and allows assurance its objectives. Recent studies face to integration of EA with CC convergence analysis between EA and CC is required to facilitate true integration in organization. This paper aims contribute to reduce the EA and CC gap. Analysis of importance and benefits of EA-CC integrated approach is presented, beside a proposed EA-CC framework that can be extended to corporate governance models. Phases, activities, artifacts and deliverables from framework are described.
