For my research on the cloud and virtualization I chose two different databases that the Forsyth library provides. The two that I decided would be the most beneficial after researching were EBSCO Host, and Science Direct. These two databases were able to provide me with a handful of articles that I found useful for my paper.

The search was successful, I was able to read through a few pages and find some content that was relative to what I was looking for. I was able to find two articles that I would later use for my final paper.

• Database: EBSCO Host
  • Keyword: ““Virtualization””
    • Results: 54,149
  • Potential Article: Chamorro, O., Olivares S., Alvarado, N., Trujillo, S., Torres-, A., Aldana-Trejo,(2021). Virtualization of Teaching and Learning of Engineering Students and its Impact on Self-Perception of Attitude Acquisition, in the Context of COVID-19. International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning, 16(16), 242–250. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=eue&AN=152065514&site=ehost-live&scope=site
  • Potential Article: Arangol, C., Dernat, R., & Sanabrial, J. (2019). Performance evaluation of container-based virtualization for high performance computing environments. UIS Ingenierías, 18(4), 31–42. https://doi.org/10.18273/revuin.v18n4-2019003

Keyword: ““Computer”

• • • Results: 12,837

• With the term “Computer” being so broad, it resulted in a variety of results that ended up being not very relative to what type of information I was needing for my paper.

• • Keyword: ““Server”
    • Results: 571,239
    • Potential Article: Chen, X., Guao, M., & Shangguan, W. (2020). Estimating the impact of cloud computing on firm performance: An empirical investigation of listed firms. Retrieved April 28, 2022, from https://doi.org/10.1016/j.im.2022.103603.

Article:

• Xi,C..Ming,G.,Wuyue,S.,(2022) Estimating the impact of cloud computing on firm performance: An empirical investigation of listed firms. IEE Information & Management, ISSUE 4. DOI:10.1016/TIE .2022.01.250. Accessed 28 April 2022

• The study of this article focuses on the economic impact of the adoption of cloud service on firm performance. It looks at the differences in the models and try to estimate the performance effect of cloud computing will have on different firms that will attempt to adopt the different models.
