This paper explores the possibility and feasibility of the Grid implementation over the Cloud infrastructure to extend and enhance the current resources capacity for catering future expansion. The paper presented a study on the Cloud's elasticity to achieve effective operational cost within the context of DBrain project. Finer details of the current metric is explored and extended for the elasticity indicator. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. date: 2011 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Adhipta, D. and Hassan, Mohd.F. and Mahmood, A.K.
