Amazon may already have won the cloudBoth Google and Amazon have said at one point or another that the cloud revenue stream has the potential to be larger than all their current sources of income. Only 13% of companies’ data is currently stored in the cloud.) But if the advocates of cloud computing are right, some day most of that spending will be on software that runs on remote computers controlled by internet giants. Amazon’s lead over Google is almost unfathomably big. Gartner put Amazon so far ahead of its competitors in terms of vision and execution that it literally stands on its own. Today the cloud market has many players. Yet if Amazon’s entire public cloud were a single computer, it would have five times more capacity than those of its next biggest 14 competitors—including Google—combined. Every day, one-third of people who use the internet visit a site or use a service running on Amazon’s cloud. (Netflix runs on it almost entirely.) http://qz.com/196819/how-amazon-beat-google-attempt-to-dominate-the-cloud-before-it-even-got-started/ Level 3 offers private network connections to every Amazon Web Service Direct Connect location. Support for new Ethernet and VPN hosted connections delivers direct access to leading cloud services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Simple Storage Service and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. The combined network infrastructure provides an easier migration path for enterprises to effectively establish and scale connectivity between remote office locations, data centers and AWS to create a cloud ecosystem with greater flexibility to address evolving IT requirements. http://investors.level3.com/investor-relations/press-releases/press-release-details/2013/Level-3-An nounces-Amazon-Web-Services-Direct-Connect-Support/default.aspx |
