VIDaaS - Design Architecture of Virtual Infrastructure with Database as a Service

Journal article

This paper presents design and deployment architecture of research project Virtual Infrastructure with Database as a Service (VIDaaS). VIDaaS supports common requirements of multi-disciplinary researchers and caters for different database types besides the traditional relational database. The ambitious and challenging goals of VIDaaS require innovative and flexible design and deployment architecture. The primary focus of this research paper is to discuss an architecture framework for the existing database system melded with the Cloud computing paradigm in order to improve the scalability and boost the performance of database systems. VIDaaS is based on reusable architectural model benefiting from Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and cloud design which is not limited to DaaS and can be applicable to any Software as a Service (SaaS).
