Problem
The diploma thesis addresses digitalisation and the transformation of local IT environments into cloud infrastructure, the reasons for transformation, advantages, and disadvantages. The overarching theme, which this year relates to digitalisation and its impact on the environment, is also included. For a long time, it was considered that companies must have IT infrastructure in local data centres, as data and information are most secure there.
With the development of technology, however, the first cloud environment providers soon emerged, who have made great strides forward, particularly in recent years, and are assuming a leading role. The opening chapter defines the concept of the cloud and cloud infrastructure, what the purposes and objectives of transitioning to the cloud are, what the advantages and disadvantages are, and the different types of cloud models and services.
Solution and Method
At the core of the diploma thesis, the transformation and hybrid transition to cloud infrastructure is analysed using the example of the company where the author is employed. Readers will become acquainted with Microsoft Azure and its solutions, the deployment scheme in the company, and the core solutions that the company uses within the cloud provider's framework. Particular emphasis is placed on the cloud platform Microsoft Teams, whose primary task is digital business communication and which experienced a boom in the business world during the pandemic.
Within the scope of this solution, collaboration, which has taken a step forward with the introduction of cloud services, will also be highlighted. In the final part of the diploma thesis, the impact of digitalisation on the environment is evaluated, where the difference between local and cloud environments is illustrated using the example of a Microsoft study. Three different Microsoft solutions are highlighted, which can operate in a local environment and in cloud infrastructure.
Under the microscope are the solutions SharePoint/Online, ** Exchange/Online, and ** Azure Storage, on the basis of which comparisons of energy consumption and emissions are provided. At the end of the chapter, interesting facts from Microsoft's presentation are provided.
