%T IaaS cloud optimisation during economic turbulence for Malaysia small and medium enterprise
%P 196-208
%X With today's digital economy, switching ON a cloud computing IaaS is no longer an easy task like an ordinary electricity utility switch. Moving from LAN into the shared cloud services is just the iceberg question of location but the deeper question should be about the product and process of acquiring infrastructure. Previous primary survey has shown that Malaysia SME's over investment in IT infrastructure has crush traditional perception of under resources. This paper uses a Delphi interactive interview correspondence method with Malaysia SME top management to revalidate each other's views. Results show that IaaS model is still in the infancy stage due to shared security concern and immature last mile connectivity. Administrators are still unsure how to determine the measurable organisational value when investing in IaaS. © 2014 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
