Cloud Computing
Ericsson opted for Amazon Web Services (AWS) because of several features that AWS offered. There is no evidence presented in this case study with respect to the actual accrued benefits that Ericsson enjoyed. Furthermore, the information is presented by Amazon, who is selling this service. That makes this a source completely lacking in credibility. But Amazon does offer that "Ericsson explains that is has several Software as a Service initiatives that have or will soon need an infrastructure as a service provider." This does not really tell us anything -- we know that Ericsson believes it needs AWS because it paid for it. One of the stated benefits for Ericsson is that AWS gives it multiple global hosting centers -- this might well be a benefit of other providers but it is definitely a benefit of AWS that Ericsson felt was critical. This is one of the major benefits of cloud computing, because it means that the company is not reliant on a single location for its data storage needs. One location is risky because if that location was damaged with fire or natural disaster the company's data could be compromised at the worst or suffer downtime at the least. So cloudy computing through something like AWS would allow Ericsson to diversify the physical locations of its data storage, for a higher level of security.

There is no need to tap into a company intranet, for example. AWS is presumably responsible for software updates and there is a presumption that there might be scale benefits to this cloud storage as well, over what it would cost Ericsson to do this itself. No figures are presented in the case to support any of this, but we are supposed to assume it.

Amazon provides information on its website with respect to its products. EC2 is what it calls an "elastic compute cloud." Amazon describes this service as providing "resizable compute capacity," which appalling assaults on the grammatical structure of the English language aside reflects the ability for web developers to scale up and configure capacity easily. So EC2 is specifically designed to help programmers with scalability. EC2 also only charges the customer for the capacity that they use, which should combine capacity flexibility with cost flexibility.
Amazon S3, or Simple Storage Service, is a basic cloud storage service, a web-based interface that allows for storage and remote retrieval online. Again the key is that Amazon charges its customers for what they use, which allows customers to scale up or down quickly and easily. Amazon combines S3 with a number…

cloud computing will be discussed to show that the good outweighs the bad. Furthermore, it will be further discussed that the government is looking into using cloud computing because it will cut IT cost down and increase capabilities despite the fact people are concerned with security issues that this may bring to the public. In completing a dissertation, it is very hard to go through the challenges that it requires.
Cloud Computing as an Enterprise Application Service Reordering the economics of software, cloud computing is alleviating many of the capital expenses (CAPEX), inflexibility of previous-generation software platforms, and inability of on-premise applications to be customized on an ongoing basis to evolving customer needs. These are the three top factors of many that are driving the adoption of cloud computing technologies in enterprises today. Implicit in the entire series of critical success
Cloud Computing and Web 2.0 The objective of this study is to explain the business uses of cloud computing and Web 2.0 and to explain how organization use these tools, the technology required to use these tools, the benefits of cloud computing and Web 2.0 and the limitations of each. Web 2.0 is reported as being "primarily associated with websites and web tools that promote interactive collaboration such as Wikipedia, Google Apps,
Cloud Computing Many businesses are experimenting and slowly embracing the concept of cloud computing and Web2.0 .organizations choosing projects which can reap full benefits from cloud computing and Web2.0.this evolution has began as organizations are now taking a crawl, walk run approach which is building towards an eventual implementation of cloud and Web2.0 implementation.

Cloud Computing Benefits As cloud-computing starts to take hold, a number of significant advantages have turned out to be evident. The first one of these, and perhaps the most important, is the costs. The cloud claims to decrease the price of obtaining, providing, and sustaining computing power, a gain of specific significance during times of financial hardship. By allowing agencies to buy just the computing solutions required, rather than purchasing complicated and
