Abstract
This paper discusses the authors' projects of cloud services for small and medium-sized businesses: “A WEB platform for automating the organization and maintenance of business events and information and analytical services with the EDS service” and “A cloud service for monitoring and protecting computer networks with intelligent hardware and software clients and effective virtualization technologies”. These are projects of potential both because of the possibility of developing and implementing new scientific and practical approaches, which are described in this work, and of optimizing the activities of small and medium-sized businesses due to the potential commercializability of project results; they provide the opportunity for organizing a consortium of research organizations and business enterprises of a country. This paper presents the projects groundwork, features and new scientific and practical approaches to their implementation, as well as the prerequisites for the commercialization of project results.
