Computer sciences and Information technology, Case Study ( number of bids: 3 )Cloud Computing 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, cloud computing is now available for businesses as well as consumers. Read the case study titled, Ericsson, located here, about Ericsson cloud computing. Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you: Assess how Ericsson benefitted from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in terms of cost reduction, automated software updates, remote access, and on-demand availability. Evaluate the scalability, dependability, manageability, and adaptability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Services (Amazon S3), and RightScale. Examine the security concerns for cloud-based services and make suggestions to cope with these concerns. Assess possible scalability, reliability, and cost issues associated with cloud computing, and make suggestions to overcome each of these issues. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the students name, the professors name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Compare and contrast the strategic and operational use of data management systems. Outline the strategic implications of information assurance and security in an information technology environment. Use technology and information resources to research issues in information systems and technology. Write clearly and concisely about topics related to information systems for decision making using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
