to continue to give its users the best services. Amazon Web Services is helping companies like Ericsson by providing a wide range of cloud-based services. AWS has specifically helped Ericsson in terms of cost reduction, automated software updates, remote access, and on-demand availability. Ericsson uses a combination of AWS services: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Services (Amazon S3), and RightScale. Each of these allows Ericsson to provide great service to their

Abstract Cloud computing is defined by Cearly and Phifer in their case study titled “Case Studies in Cloud Computing” as “a style of computing in which scalable and elastic IT-related capabilities are provided ‘ as a service’ to customers using Internet technologies”. Cloud computing services had been provided by major vendors such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others for business computing until recently when Apple Corporation announced iCloud for consumers. Therefore

Case Study 2: Cloud Computing CIS500: Information Systems Decision-Making 2012, December 2 How did Ericsson benefit from Amazon Web Services (AWS)? According to Amazon’s Web Service website, it gives users the option to run just about everything using their service applications. By incorporating cloud computing, users are able to cut variable costs to a more attractive scale for the business by eliminating costly administrative and hardware fees. Due to remote access, Ericsson was able to

Sciences - 2011 Cloud Hooks: Security and Privacy Issues in Cloud Computing Wayne A. Jansen, NIST Abstract In meteorology, the most destructive extratropical cyclones evolve with the formation of a bent-back front and cloud head separated from the main polar-front, creating a hook that completely encircles a pocket of warm air with colder air. The most damaging winds occur near the tip of the hook. The cloud hook formation provides a useful analogy for cloud computing, in which the most acute

Case Study 2: Cloud Computing Cloud Computing Abstract Ericsson was able to notice and benefit from Amazon’s advantages. Amazon’s AWS is able to construct and manage a worldwide infrastructure to the scale Ericsson required to support their business. With this infrastructure already in place, it delivers a cost savings value. They had the aptitude to set up new applications and automated software updates promptly because they were able to scale up and down as demand changed or the

Case Study 2: Cloud Computing One of the key benefits of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace up-front capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with your business. With the Cloud, businesses no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance. Instead, they can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and deliver results faster. AWS offers low, pay-as-you-go pricing with no up-front expenses

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is all the rage these days. The problem seems to be that everyone has a different definition of what it is. As a metaphor for the internet , “the cloud” is a familiar enough term, but when you add “computing” to it, the meaning starts to become a little bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing as an updated version of utility computing: essentially virtual computers available over the internet. Others have

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ericsson benefitted much from incorporating AWS as their primary cloud cover provider. They chose AWS because they felt it was the most integrated public cloud provider in the RightScale Cloud Management Platform (RightScale); AWS also showed a better quality of services with solid management and a valid track record (amazon.com). Due to the services provided by cloud computing, delivering IT capabilities as a service over the internet, it is estimated that services are
