? Limitations of the study:
Studies are meant to ensure stakeholders obtain the value for their money. Cost
effectiveness and improvisation are some of the ever present objectives in each
research.
Therefore, a research should be able to suggest a cheaper model or modify the cu
rrent model,
especially when financial stability is an issue (Cloud Security Alliance, 2009).
The research
proposes the implementation of PaaS model in cloud computing. The model costs th
e users
more, and it is least preferable. Therefore, it means that a majority of the use
rs have not installed
the system (Che, Duan, Zhang and Fan, 2011). Moreover, the users will have to ne
glect their
current application methods. Consequently, the cost for adapting newer applicati
ons will be high.
The research would have provided an alternative model that will involve utilizat
ion of the
resources from their preferable model.
The research only considers one solution to the existing software issue. Provisi
on of a
single alternative will affect the performance of the companies or users that wi
ll be unable to
implement the system due to its cost (Cloud Security Alliance, 2009). Additional
ly, users will
refrain from services that provide anything else apart from the recommended mode

security threat posed by the SaaS and IaaS. Therefore, the research should be co
ntinued to
discover other models that can be implemented to address the security issue.
Moreover, the purpose of research, is to avail better ways of handling issues. T
he
research will ensure that the small companies are also ideal. In fact, reducing
the number of users
of cloud computing in large companies will neutralize the threat posed by many u
sers.
