Assess how Ericsson benefitted from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in terms of cost reduction, automated software updates, remote access, and on-demand availability.
Amazon Web Services has benefitted Ericsson. Ericsson had specific business needs for the support of their business and Amazon’s Web Services was able to provide them with a robust global infrastructure that provided Ericson some significant cost savings. AWS gave them the ability to scale their application according to the business demand or changes. Remote assess has allowed then the ability to access their systems via the cloud anytime from anywhere. Ericsson chose AWS because they are considered to be the best integrated public cloud provider. “The Ericsson team states that having hosting centers in various regions was important for them. AWS also showed a better quality of service with solid management and a proven track record.” (Amazon Web Services, 2012)
Evaluate the scalability, dependability, manageability, and adaptability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Services (Amazon S3), and Right-Scale.
There are many options that are provided by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) like as follows: preconfigured software, complete environments, processors, and memory. Scalability is also offered on a pay as you go basis. The time required to implement a new server takes mire minutes, capacity can be scaled with ease. You will only have to pay for whatever you use when it comes to Amazon EC2. Application with fail proof safeguards can be developed with the use of Amazon EC2. (Amazon Web Services, 2012)
If simple internet storage is required Amazon S3 is adequate. Amazon S3 has simplified Web scale computing for develope...

As its core essences cloud computing is nothing but a specialized form of grid computing and distributing computing’s which various in terms of infrastructure , deployment, service and Geographic’s dispersion (Veeramachanenin, Sepetember 2015) the cloud enhance scalability, collaboration, availability , ability to adapt to fluctuation according to demand accelerate development work and provide optional for cost reduction and through efficient and optimized computing. (BH kawljeet, June 2015) cloud computing (CC) recently become as a new paradigm for the delivery and hosting of services our the internet. There are mainly three service delivery model Software as Service (SaaS) required software, operating system and network is provided or we can say in SaaS the customer can access the hosted software instead of installing it in local computer and the user can access these software through local computer internet browser (e.g web enabled E-mail ) the user only pay and the cloud service provider is responsible for management or control of mobile cloud infrastructure some of the company which provide such service are Google, Microsoft , Salesforce ,Facebook, etc…..Infrastructure as Service(IaaS)the cloud provider only provide some hardware resources such as network and virtualization is
The major categories or modes of shipment for Amazon.com in the U.S. are drop-ship, split, partnered, and postal-injection.
Growth is core to Amazon.com's business strategy, and that has had a significant impact on the way they use technology: growth through more categories, a larger selection, more services, more buying customers, more sellers, more merchants, and more developers, increasing the different access methods, and expanding delivery mechanisms. The impact has been on many areas: larger data sets, faster update rates, more requests, more services, tighter SLAs (service-level agreements), more failures, more latency challenges, more service interdependencies, more developers, more documentation, more programs, more servers, more networks, more data centers. A large part of Amazon.com's technology evolution has been driven to enable this continuing growth, to be ultra-scalable while maintaining availability and performance.
The strengths of creating a cloud computing strategy for stuff4u.com can be a huge difference in profit margin down the road for the company. One of the strengths that cloud computing provides for companies is that it maximizes the effectiveness of shared resources within an organization. When using this approach stuff4u does not have to use all of its computing power and at the same time it will save money on its energy costs. Cloud computing allows multiple employees access to a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications. This will also save money for stuff4you as a company, and will increase profit margin for the company as it cut s down on its expenses. A switch to SaaS software run system will also allow compatibility for a...

Amazon has recorded a magnificent success in its business throughout the years that it has been in operation. It has attracted almost all people to use it when necessary. Amazon has built its success in business methodically and slowly. Amazon has made much success because of its ability to read market trends and diversify its operations. It started as an online book selling company. However, it changed its operations and started selling other products. Currently, many large retail shops use Amazon to host and power their websites, for instance, sears and virgin megastores. Amazon now attracts over fifty million visitors in a period of one month. Amazon has tried to make their services fit each individual user. It has based its services on the end user. It has shipping discounts, customer product reviews and a credit card with bonuses. It also has prime membership, product forums and 1-click ordering system among other services. The company has tried to make a remarkable experience for customers and visitors (Thomas, 2006).
Firstly, Amazon utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) to put their website in the cloud to optimize the speed of using the website. This greatly optimizes speed for both internal use, and also for customer use. Even customers wanting to rent the servers from the AWS can and they do find using this service is faster and much cheaper than setting up their own servers.
Physically, the resource may across multiple servers. The safety of the files depends upon the hosting websites. It means storage capacity, that’s can be access through a public network, like the Internet, or WAN (Wide Area Network). Internet users have the capability of expanding the amount of data Cloud Storage can hold without any limitations, but may require you to contact the service provider.
In cloud computing, the word cloud is used as a metaphor for “the internet”. So the cloud computing means “a type of internet-based computing”, where different services such as servers, storage and applications are delivered to an organization’s computers and devices through the internet.
