Ranking Cloud Service Providers using SWARA-MARCOS in Type-2 Neutrosophic Number Set Environment

Cloud computing is a model for allowing suitable, on-demand network access to a shared store of resources such as servers, networks, storage, apps, and services, modified according to specific needs or requirements. The main goal of cloud technology development is to increase the use of resources that work together to achieve reliability at the lowest cost. Cloud service providers (CSPs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their accessibility and availability, as well as the growing quantity of cloud service providers (CSPs) that appear. Choosing (CSPs) has grown to be a challenging decision for many companies. The paper aims to rank a set of cloud service providers based on the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. The suggested method's applicability is verified by comparing the outcomes with two established methodologies: SWARA and MARCOS methods under the type-2 neutrosophic number set (T2NNS) environment to calculate the importance of evaluation criteria and ranking the alternatives of cloud providers. A sensitivity analysis was executed to check the robustness of this model by examining the effect of criteria weights on the ranking of the alternatives.
