Abstract-
In todays date, many Enterprises face various challenges when they are hosting any form of business applications in the cloud. Many of these challenges are certain for control over the network functions in the cloud for example making sure the network security, guaranteed performance, or the isolation, and being flexible insinuate middleboxes for the deployment of the applications. In this research, we discuss the design and the implementation of the cloud networking system also known as CloudNaaS. Now, the consumers can use this CloudNaas for the deployment of the applications increase with a set of network functions that are rich and extensile for example virtual network isolation, custom addressing service differentiation, and flexible many positions of the middleboxes. In the cloud infrastructure, this cloudless are directly implemented using high-speed programmable network elements, for this implementation the CloudNaas are highly efficient. Here, we also evaluated the Openflow based prototype of the CloudNaas that is used to amplify the network functions in the cloud, due to this the performance is robust when it faces large numbers of equipped services and device linking failure. When considering the many aspects of the network distribution in the cloud, there is small support and effort are many times underestimated. The SAIL project is referred to as cloud networking as the mixture of management for cloud networking and primary networking capacity between the distributions of the cloud resources for the improvement of both. This paper reflects the new security challenges which are considered in the SAIL project for making sure the lawful usage of the cloud networking and prevention of misuse. Cloud Networking also adds the networking functionalities in the cloud for networking and enables the dynamic and flexible placement for the virtual resources for the providers. It provides many kinds of optimization such as reducing latency. But, also there are some challenges. In this paper, we discuss the security architecture that allows the user to define the security requirements in the cloud networking and impose in the cloud networking infrastructure.
Introduction-
Cloud Networking is a part of Cloud Networking. It is a type of IT infrastructure where an enterprises network capabilities and the resources are hosted either in public or private cloud platform. And these services either are managed by the enterprise or the service provider on demand. Enterprises uses these cloud networking resources to build their private network in the cloud or use these service resources in the public cloud or the hybrid cloud which is the combination of both. These resources also come with virtual routers, firewalls, and bandwidth network management application, with other various tools and available different functions (Schoo, et. Al., 2010).
. In todays business the cloud provides the agility, integrity, deliver differentiation, accelerating the market, and also increasing the scale. This cloud model has also normal procedure to make and deliver the modern enterprise. It also plays a vital role of rapidly growing the enterprises infrastructure needs, regional expanding, and reduce the unnecessary plans. The enterprises are now considering these multi data center strategy and multiple cloud services from multiple cloud service providers. Many of the Enterprises have relies on the on-premises technologies, public cloud services, legacy of the applications, and systems. It is a complex incident that contributes to the weak security and as a outcome insufficient governance, transparent, manageability between various fragmented networks. The Virtual Cloud Network is the future of the networking. The primary architectural approach is to built a application at large scale from top to bottom, that will deliver consistent, robust connectivity, and security for the application and the data wherever it used. It is also a next-generation networking technology service that IT industry is constantly considering to provide the digital methods that unite a hyper-distributed world.
Significant of the Cloud Networking-
Cloud Networking has a significant amount of usages in the business, which varies from small scale applications to the business-critical flow of works. The Enterprises uses the deployment of cloud networking because it has the ability to shift the traditional flow of works onto the cloud and uses the advantage of the provided resources by the cloud service providers. The public cloud service providers offer various services that help businesses to control various critical tasks (Lee, et. Al., 2014). Besides, that being said the challenges of considering the cloud solutions for the performance and always keep-on premises. Cloud Networking has the ability to perform the various tasks at the same time, but this does not reflect that the enterprise always needs all of these services provided by the cloud service provider. Due to the problems faced by many enterprises using traditional networking architecture now the enterprises shifting towards cloud networking for scalability and flexibility. These cloud environments are scalable and flexible which is beneficial for enterprises. This environment allows scaling up or scaling down according to their needs. If any individual usages a certain amount of resources in one month and realizing the enterprise needs more, then the individual also increases the assets which are available to the enterprise. The pay-as-use model also provides the required resources for the enterprise while managing cost efficiency. However, cloud services are always matched with the enterprise’s needs. Besides that, the only adaptation for specific solutions needs for the business. Also, allows utilizing what services the business needs for control over how the cloud will work for the business.
Traditional data centers used various types of hardware, for example desktop computer, which are linked to the network through remote server. This server basically installed on the various establishments, and provides access to all the employees for using the hardware, also helps to store business data, and applications. If the businesses used this IT model then in order to upgrades for scale up the data storage, the enterprises has to buy the additional hardware to give the services and support to users. Also, softwares needs to updated to the latest version for ensuing the safe systems. Many enterprises needs to establish small data center within the enterprise for maintain the hardware. While Cloud Networking offers far more reliable solution. It offers virtual hosting solution, which allows hosting networks in the cloud instead of accessing the networks via physical hardware, software, and other networks that are hosted in the cloud.
Why It is often chooses by the Enterprise
1. Resilience and Elasticity-
In the cloud, the information and the applications are evenly distributed across all the platforms. All of these servers are links to work. When one server is failed to load the data, no data will be lost.
2. Automation-
The main difference between cloud networking and traditional network facility. The hosting of the cloud network is maintained by the cloud service provider who is responsible for maintaining the hardware specs running smoothly and ensuring security.
Cost-cut reduction-
Cloud Networking is way more effective than the Traditional Cloud because of the method of payment for the services. In cloud networking, the enterprises pay what they want. Also, it decreases downtime and also improved profits.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Networking-
Advantages
Off-Site Storage
It is basically any data storage or facility is not nearby of the organization. It also can remotely accessible used for data backup and recovery process of the data.
Connectivity
An Organization can expect efficiency of the operation as well as business sharpness, data sharing seemingly much faster which is A+ point in competitive advantage if using right cloud networking services (Surianarayanan, & Chelliah, 2019).
Speed
Mediatronics has done a test, it showed that with the right technology of cloud storage and right company a significant speed can be achieved. Also showed that if a company use 15 severs constantly for backing up the data from one HDD to another HDD which is in total 76TB, it takes around a night to complete that particular task. This comparison showed well for backing up the data into the cloud. For cloud storage Mediatronics recorded that transfer rate of the data significantly increasing with 975Mb/s, which is more faster than any other normal HDD which is about 800Mb/s at 5400rpm.
Scalability
It provides the flexibility of cloud storage to save time and money of an organization. When the business growing rapidly, an organizations need increasing of storage. You can go back to the original process when the demands become low. Scalable cloud storage allows you to upload lager files without any noticeable decreasing of speed, and it completely transform the companys infrastructure (Zhang, & Chen, 2016).
Storage Immortality
The cloud networking offers much better storage rather than traditional way buying HDD. And storage size and speed depends on what an Organizations requirement is. Once Liebl said that Public Cloud provides infinite storage facility for your storage hardware. In some recent years the upgraded version will be so versatile that your traditional HDD will no longer need put it in your system. All the things from setup windows to storing data all will be done in cloud (Stergiou, et. Al., 2018).
Disadvantages-
Security
After depositing the data to a cloud service provider produces threats and security concerns. Breaches can happen anytime in every cloud service and the fact that weve seen some news regarding privacy breaches on the TV. Once Watson said that never try to transfer data and store something in the public cloud. Sometimes public service cloud providers delete your data accidentally on your shared drives and theres no way you can prove that (Zhang, & Chen, 2016).
Speed
It is also a downside for cloud storage. Public cloud is basically big data storage and the data speeds in limited. But the survey shows that some cloud storage records good benchmarks. If the user reaches to maximum the server will slow down and speed will be different to different users.
Compliance
For some MNC using the public cloud for working is unimaginable. The public cloud needs special attention from some regulations and protocols. Watson said that this issue could a bigger for jurisdiction when anyones data storage poses (Bitar, Gringeri, & Xia, 2013).
Besides, that being said when a company making their data moved to cloud network, the enterprise should look for the following factors (Kim, et. Al., 2019)
Network needs.
Check if the application is publicly usable.
Scaling needs.
Check that software architecture is supported for the particular cloud.
Storage.
What are these Platforms an Enterprise should look for it?
Rather than building the own infrastructure for IT departments, Enterprise tends to buy these cloud services for their applications to data storage from a cloud service provider. There are a lot of benefits to using cloud services. It provides cost-cutting, avoids the complexity of owning infrastructure, and maintaining them; so, they purchase all of these services as per the requirements. Nowadays the services of cloud networking are vast and provide various services from processing power to data hosting. And many Business Enterprises using this technology for the rapid growth of their organization (Benson, et. Al., 2011).

There are basically three types of services provides by the cloud service provider
IaaS (Infrastructure as a service): it is actually a model that is rent by the business firms for their IT hardware components like servers, data space, and networking components. And saving them lots of expenses of buying all those components.
PaaS(Platform as a Service): It provides IT platforms for application development; so, the application developer can write code, run, and manage their application in the real-time without any complexity of building or installing any software or maintaining which is related to launching an application (Stergiou, et. al., 2018)
Software as a service(SaaS): It provides licensing and delivering software via the internet to the business firms on a subscription basis package.
Besides, all of these usage much small businesses have used this technology and made growth in their productivity. This is why cloud networking is matter to business firms.
There are key benefits such as;
Cost: It provides significant cost savings towards the companys IT budgets.
Flexibility: It allows businesses to rent from components to servers to data storage and the company chooses as per needed, rather than just spending money on purchasing those expensive components.
Scalability: The networking power, processing power, networking power can be increased quickly as per the requirements. Also, it can be decreased depending on the user.
Authentication Access: IT services can be accessed by only the authorized users on any authorized devices if he or she has an internet connection (Fusenig, & Sharma, 2012).

But there is also a downside of shifting an Enterprise to the cloud. Various cyber-threats interfere with the productivity of the company. In order to solve this, cloud networking also provides cyber-security for resolving these types of issues. There are three types of cyber-security technologies by various firms such as UTM (unified threat management), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and CS (Cloud Security). And cloud networking provides all of these with cheaper prices and offers a more flexible way to manage those corporate threats (Parker, 2016).
Conclusion-
In conclusion, cloud networking is the technology that recently in development that has the potential ability to have a huge impact on the digital world. It also has benefits that provide to its consumers and businesses. Such as some benefits provided to the businesses by reducing the business process cost on the maintenance and software up-gradation and focuses on the business operation itself. Besides that, some challenges are linked with cloud networking and it must be overcome. Nowadays people are very doubtful about their data whether it is secure or private. Now there are no rules and regulations provided data via cloud networking. Besides, the data protection laws existed in Europe. In spite of the most advanced technological nation, the United States has no laws about data protection. And the users always worry about their data being stolen or being used by some individuals. When there are standard rules and regulations are established cloud networking will bring a revolution to the future.
