Abstract: MLAKedusoln eLearnovate’s 2003 entry in the elearning industry began with a primary focus on showcasing ‘curriculum elearning design’ projects using Shared and Dedicated Server as her server solutions. In predicting the intensive simultaneous usage of her SaaS products with the addition of Content Delivery (LMS) and Subscription Services to her company’s offerings which required user-generated input and interaction, she decides to migrate her business model solutions to a more scalable and agile method using the cloud in both standalone and hosted formats. Literature Review suggests that for web-hosted solutions e.g., Saas Based WCMS, LMS and Software Applications to scale, Cloud servers is a much more reliable yet inexpensive solution to existing ones. This paper analyzes the efficacy of MLAKedusoln eLearnovate LLC to go the cloud way.
