6. Conclusion and future work
This paper presented a framework for integrating the hybrid cloud computing with the GIS through three dimensions; (7S) Hybrid Cloud GIS architecture, (2E) participants’ workflow and an applied case study in the health sector in Egypt. The value of this framework comes in the (7S) architecture that offers the integration process on all the phases related to the GIS and the Hybrid Cloud starting with the client and moving to end with the infrastructure. This framework would be applied to different sectors for gaining its valuable benefits especially when it comes to dealing with different types of data and users. Using such a solution for the health sector in Egypt would be much valuable in solving the most common flaws related to the resources bad distribution and the diseases tracking by helping in making more accurate and right decisions without looking for location accessibility or time barrier. In the future work, some research areas are open for enhancing the integration reality through the review and the comparison for the cloud computing vendors (public & private) would be needed to evaluate the integration process through some important approaches including the cost and the data migration elasticity between the two environments and the security. Also by rebuilding the architecture based on community deployment model to apply it to communities with common characteristics. In addition to applying and comparing the architecture performance within the scope of the cloud computing services with its different levels including the Software as a Service level, Platform as a Service level and Infrastructure as a service level. In addition to one more open area for research on how to deal with lots of geospatial data on the cloud in the terms of data storage, transmission, management, processing, integration, analysis, security and quality
