Optimal Processing Time for B2C Electronic Commerce Architecture in a Cloud Computing Environment

Hosting electronic commerce applications in a client/server architecture was problematic, and moreover these companies were retail focused, rather than technology organizations. Advent of cloud computing has solved the problems of technological requirements, however, handling massive traffic was still a challenge. Citing this reason, these companies relocated to public cloud environment expecting to resolve the issues. But, failure persisted owing to number of requests being increased tenfold. The numbers augmented due to usage of mobile and tablets and the existing architecture was not prepared for such a substantial growth and often resulted in breakdown. The study is an effort to mathematically evaluating the optimal processing time for an architecture hosted in a public cloud.
