Abstract

Cloudy computing by offering the scalable infrastructure and available capabilities as a service for small and medium-sized businesses has changed the game. It is a paradigm that computing resources are available anywhere and anytime and businesses can take advantage of it in the same way as they consume utilities like water and electricity. Due to the important role of small and medium-sized businesses in Iran economy, the aim of this study is to design a cloudy Spine for small businesses. According to the views of experts in the field of IT and cloudy computing, information and data in this field are collected by observing, preliminary and systematically interviews. Studies show that this business model provides a win-win solutions for small and medium-sized businesses provider and cloud service consumer. At the end, it is presented for the cloudy Spine model.
