Abstract
Cloud is a double-edged sword and can be disruptive if not handled properly. It has the power to upend existing businesses, products, and use-cases. Recall when a fax machine posed challenges to FedEx’s overnight ship** business for urgent document sharing the latter adapted by expanding its infrastructure to send large packages and survived this challenge. Similarly, Cloud challenges how data and information are exchanged between the stakeholders. However, Cloud itself needs to evolve by adding security features, such as encryption, so that mission-critical data can be sent over public networks reliably and securely. Building new applications or migrating existing solutions to Cloud offers new opportunities to those who will adapt. We will study examples of Salesforce, Microsoft, and Netflix.

Points to Ponder
-
1.
Think of Cloud-based applications installed on your smart phone. How many of these are supported by a common service provider versus hosted in different datacenters?
-
2.
Even if applications belong to different companies, their services may be hosted by a common Cloud service provider. Can you think of an example?

-
(a)
A typical phone user may have dozens of app, including emails, games, financial, social networking, etc. Chances are that all of these are being supported by different service providers (e.g., Google, Apple, or Microsoft) and being hosted in different datacenters. Sometimes, even the same service provider uses different datacenters, e.g., Google has multiple locations to serve its worldwide customers to minimize latency.

-
(a)
Sometimes two different application providers may share a common Cloud service provider, such as Netflix and Salesforce, both of which are hosted by Amazon’s AWS.
