- Real-World Cloud Computing Applications
In this article, we will see some examples of real-world Cloud Computing applications:
• Coca-Cola Enterprises uses a Cloud-based system to streamline operations with
merchandisers in the field: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_24/b4135048953042.htm
• Nasdaq uses Amazon’s S3 Cloud Service to deliver historical stock and mutual fund information, rather than add the load to its own database and computing infrastructure: http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/early-experiments-in-cloud-computing-020
• Animoto, a small start-up which decided to use Amazon's Cloud Services, was able to keep up with soaring demand for its service and scale up from 50 instances to 3,500 instances over a three day period: http://www.idgconnect.com/index.cfm?event=showarticle&cid=116&pk=970
• Times wanted to place scanned images covering a 60-year period (15 million news stories) online. After being repeatedly turned down by the CIO for the use of six servers, the newspaper moved four terabytes into Amazon’s S3, ran all the software over a weekend on EC2 for $25, and then launched its product in a matter of minutes: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1554608
• Mogulus streams 120,000 live TV channels over the Internet and owns no hardware except for the laptops it uses. It handled all of the election coverage for most of the large media sites. Its CEO states that he could not be in business without IaaS: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1551646
• How the pharmaceutical company EliLilly saved more than $1 billion by using IaaS Amazon Web Services:http://blog.mariaspinola.com/2009/10/why-large-public-and-private-sector.html
In the next article, we will see a possible road-map that will help you determine the bad and good “Candidates” for the Cloud, because not all applications can be in the Cloud!
Thanks, and please let me know how can I help you.

Top E-Tailers Profiting From Scams -- Vertrue, Webloyalty, and Affinion generated more than $1.4 billion by "misleading" Web shoppers, said members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. [...] The government says the investigation shows that [the companies] "trick" consumers into entering their e-mail address just before they complete purchases at sites such as Orbitz, Priceline.com, Buy.com, 1-800 Flowers, Continental Airlines, Fandango, and Classmates.com. This and more in today's Four Short Links. - Watching the Retweeted Get Retweeted-er: Power User Secret Retweetist Love
When Twitter decided to slowly roll out a new, official retweeting feature, people waited in anticipation. When it actually became available, people almost universally disliked it. But my post is about why I love the new Twitter retweet feature, without ever having to think about it. The reason is that official retweeting represents the new-new arms race for authority among power users. - Robots.Txt and the .Gov TLD
The robots.txt file should be used sparingly by government organizations and only in a non-discriminatory fashion. - Asia Continues to be Facebook's Strongest Growth Region
With Facebook topping 330 million active users over the past week, the company's strongest growth region continues to be Asia. Over the last 12 weeks, Facebook added close to 17M active users in Asia alone. Since my previous post, the share of active users from Asia grew by 2% (to 13.5% of all users), and roughly 1 in 7 users now come from the region. With a market penetration under 2%, Facebook is poised to add many more users in Asia (and Africa). - Four short links: 20 November 2009
Introducing the Open Web Foundation Agreement -- Applying the open source approach to better standards. The Open Web Foundation Agreement itself establishes the copyright and patent rights for a specification, ensuring that downstream consumers may freely implement and reuse the licensed specification without seeking further permission. In addition to the agreement itself, we also created an easy-to-read "Deed" that provides a high level overview of the agreement. This and more in today's Four Short Links.
