CIS 500 – Cloud Computing

Abstract
Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers (Knorr & Gruman, 2013). 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”. This case study will explain the benefits Ericsson gained from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in terms of cost reduction, automated software updates, remote access, and on-demand availability. It also evaluates the scalability, dependability, manageability, and adaptability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Services (Amazon S3), and RightScale. It examines the security concerns for cloud-based services and makes suggestions to cope with these concerns as well as assess possible scalability, reliability, and cost issues associated with cloud computing, and make suggestions to overcome each of these issues.

Introduction
The term Cloud Computing has several definitions, some of the most common involves
computing over a network, where a program or application may run on many connected
computers at the same time. This paper will address the new technologies emerging around
Cloud computing. There will be a thorough look at the benefits derived from Ericsson use of the
