Abstract

Big businesses want scalability, efficiency, and competitive advantage by means of cloud integration into IT infrastructures. Adoption of clouds is challenging when modern technologies are incorporated with present systems and corporate goals. The importance of structured frameworks for managing complexity, compatibility, and governance is shown by a case study on how large companies integrate clouds under using enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks. Using TOGAF, Zachman Framework, and FEAF, companies design, build, and oversee cloud environments to meet company objectives and infrastructues. These frameworks are very vital in big businesses as cloud use affects data security, operational agility, and cost control. 

Studies indicate that adoption of clouds calls for integrated planning and management of the technical and strategic aspects of corporate architectural frameworks. Following a significant company through cloud integration analysis, planning, implementation, optimization, and governance, the case study To demonstrate how EA models could address industry standard compliance, application compatibility, and data migration. Combining corporate design with cloud operations increases data security, regulatory compliance, and hazards of data protection. The research exposes how TOGAF's ADM (Architecture Development Method) arranges stages of cloud integration and points out key IT assets needing rearranging and cloud-based service integration. This approach guarantees cloud adoption modularity, scalability, and reusability, therefore supporting the company's aims for digital transformation.
