- Amazon.com tries to take strategic advantage of its resources. Of what physical resources does Amazon.com take advantage?
Ans:
Amazon.com has a storage network that
is distributed around the globe on which the data are replicated, so that if
one server is down, another server can still provide the data without even the
client know about the incident.
- Does Amazon.com strategically leverage anything else in addition to physical assets?
Ans:
Aside from their strong storage
network, Amazon.com has a fast and reliable uptime service because in Amazon.com,
reliability and speed of access are in utmost importance. This is important to businesses
which offer or need large amount of data to be stored and need to be access
from time to time to be shared by their users/clients.
- What are the benefits of S3 for small companies?
Ans:
S3 gives the small business the
opportunity to compete to large companies because there is no need now for them
to buy expensive data storage servers to cater and store the data of their client.
Small business will just now pay a very small amount of money as they only pay
15 cents per 1GB of data as they only pay what they only used. There is no need
now for the small businesses to hire extra employee to handle the data storage
maintenance.
- As its current rates for S3 services, Amazon.com does not make a great profit (or any at all). Why, then do you think Amazon.com offers S3?
Ans:
Though as what the Amazon.com said
that they don’t expect to earn much with their S3 services, for sure they won’t
waste the technological advantages that they have now. All they have to do is
create or divert it to a new direction. Sometimes, it doesn’t always go well on
the first try but it is different on the second try. What the S3 service can
provide there’s got to be money on this; they only need to figure it how.
