MAIN BODY
Question 1- Case Study & Questions
Role of cloud computing in the modern business from the cloud computing model point of view.
Cloud computing can be defined as the uses of the network in order to store the data and
useful information in the clouds that are virtually accessible and instead of saving into the
personal computers. It provides various typed of services to the business such as database,
analytics, software through which the organisation can innovate new ideas at the workplace and
it also facilitate the organisation to increase their sales by using effective services. In relation to
the Amazon, they majorly uses cloud computing services that helps them to save their data and
the information that they wanted in the future for the purpose of carrying out the activities. It
facilitate the organisation to effectively co-ordinate the stakeholders, employees, suppliers and
the customers of the company (Christie and Marshall, 2019). It can better understand with the
cloud computing model. Cloud computing models are mentioned below in relation to the
Amazon:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
In this type of cloud computing services it offers various types of options like network,
service provider, data storage and visualisation and it can be done through use of the internet by
the company. In relation to the Amazon they uses this services with the helps of the dashboard
and API. It facilitate the organisation to manage all their activities like websites, applications
through which they become able to carry out the operations smoothly (Chughtai, 2021). The
provides who provides this service manager several things like data storage, hard drive servers,
network and many more. It helps the organisation as if they face any challenges or difficulty in
carrying out the activities related to that then the services provider repairs and solve the issue.
One of the main advantages that Amazon get is that they become able to store their important
data in a digital way through which they can use it when they have need in the future.
Platform as a services (PaaS)

Provider in this type of services provides the organisation to access the cloud platforms in
order to save the data in a digital way. Through using this model the organisation become able to
develop and produce their company website and application without incurring so many expenses
on the various programs. This services also facilitate the clients to tell changes according to their
needs and wants. This types of services is provided by various companies such as Microsoft
Azure and Google app engine.
Software as a Services (SaaS)
It is one of the most efficient services of the cloud computing that is enjoyed by the
organisations. Service provider in this focuses on to reduce the pressure of the companies in
managing their company's website and application. All the activities related to management of
the application are done by the services provider in a effective manner (Bali and Sinha, 2020).
They perform various functions such as analysing the time of the usage, numbers of users
coming on the website and application etc. In relation to the Amazon, they uses this services
through which they become able to remove the burden of the technical team.
Key benefit of the Cloud Computing for the Amazon
There are various benefits for using the cloud computing services by the organisation and
the business firms. This facilitate the organisation to carry out the operations in a systematic
manner. Various benefits that are enjoyed by the Amazon are mentioned below:
Increased collaboration
Amazon have operations on a very large scale and there is a need of the integration of all
the efforts of the employees towards the achievement of the goal. It is one of the main benefit of
the cloud computing services is that the employees of the company can easily access to the
information and the ideas that are being shared by the upper level of the department (Laohakul
and Rassameethes, 2021). Through this the communication process in the workplace become
more effective and efficient.
Cost Savings
Another main benefit of using the cloud computing services that the Amazon company
gets is that they become able to save the lots of cost in the business through which they can earn
more profits in the future. Because in order to store the important data and information they
should not have to make and develop the in house system as they cam hire this services on the
rent. It proves to be so much beneficial for the company because through this they will be able to
save the cost of the fixed assets in the company. In this they have to pay the rent to the company
whom services they are using and they charge according to the space they have taken in order to
store the data.
Question 2 – Security and Privacy
Suggest any three security requirements that any organisation must implement and discuss how
this framework can be used by organisation for controlling and securing their data.750
It is very important for the organisation to manage and design their way of production in
a systematic manner through which they can generate more productivity at the workplace.
Security in the business plays an important role in maintaining the safety of the data and the
information of the company through which they become able to minimise the risks of the threat
and copying of the data. Amazon has operations in various segments and they carry out various
safety measures in order to safeguarding their data from any kind of breach (Kumar and Patrick,
2021). The IT security mainly consists three types of safety measures and objectives such as
confidentiality, availability and integrity. These measures helps the amazon company to carries

out the operational activities in the workplace in a smooth manner. Some of the security
measures that the Amazon should implement are mentioned below:
Protect the portables: It is one of the main measures that the organisation should implement at
the workplace that they should protect their digital devices in order keep their information and
ideas safe and secure. Amazon has a operation on a large scale and they have to carry out their
operations by using various digital devices (Ayatollahi and Zeraatkar, 2020). This focuses on
that the organisation should keep an eye on their all portable through which they can eliminate
the risks of breaching of the data. Sometimes there is a risk of copying of the data by the
employees of the company at the workplace and this will helps them to safe their data.
Antivirus protection: Another main measures that should be taken by the Amazon company is
that they can set up the anti virus in their systems through which they can reduce the chances of
the virus that can harm the portables (Bai and Sarkis, 2020). It can be defined as the software
that helps the organisation to run their devices smoothly and by removing all the viruses that can
delays the process of the company. It is one of the most important safety measures that should be
taken by the company through which they can reduce the chances of virus coming into the
devices.
Password creation and management policy: It is an effective policy that explains the
organisation that how they can creates the operations and effectively execute in the workplace. It
is very important for the organisation to safeguard their data, documents and other information
and it can only be done by creating and changing the password. Amazon should use this safety
measures and should give the knowledge to their employees regarding the how to set the
passwords and promote awareness of it in the organisation. Company should use effective
techniques as they can focus on to change the password on a regular basis through which they
can eliminate the unethical activities that are going in the organisation. All the employees should
give training that how to set the complex passwords for the important information and ideas
through which they can promote privacy and security in the workplace. They should make
effective rules and regulation in order to change the passwords of the devices.
Setting up of the Firewall: Another measures that can be taken by the company is that they can
set up the firewall. It will give benefits to the Amazon related to the safety of their network and
also facilitate them in analysing the traffic that comes on their websites (Romanelli, 2021). One
of the main benefits of this is that it helps helps the organisation to protect their data from the
hackers and in eliminates the risks of manipulation of the data for the purpose of unethical use.
Through using this the company can easily analyses that from which system the unethical
activities are going on.
It has been analysed that the uses of the safety measures by the organisation facilitate
them to eliminate the risk of the unethical activities that are being going the workplace. Through
these measures the organisation become able to carry out the activities in a smooth manner. It
also facilitate the organisation to maintain and safeguard infrastructure (Jahn, 2020). Amazon
also uses these measures through which they can analyse their performance in the workplace. It
also facilitate the company to provide effective products and services through which they can
satisfy the needs and wants of the customers in the market. These helps the organisation to
reduce the excessive cost in order to save the data of the companies and information for the
future. It can be evaluated that the company has seen the overall development in the workplace.

Question 3 Telecommunication and spreadsheets
A. Discuss some of the key networking infrastructure your choice of organisation might use for
everyday business operations.
Networking infrastructure is considered to be the all resources of network which develops
network or internet connectivity, administration, operations of business and communication
possible. Additionally, this comprises hardware as well as software, system & devices as well as
this allow computing and communication among users, facilities, apps and procedures.
Moreover, anything included into network, from servers to wireless routers that comes together
for making up a network infrastructure of system. In addition to this, it enables for effectual
communication as well as services among services, users, applications, devices and so on. The
Company such as Amazon which is a multinational company. They serve digital platform to
their customers in which they allow them to do the sales and purchase of the products over the
internet. So, the networking infrastructure use by them is discussed below:
AWS Direct connect: This develops it simple for establishing a dedicated connection of network
from premises to AWS. Moreover, utilising tis, they may develop a private connectivity among
AWS as well as its information centre, office or co- location atmosphere, that into various carses
may minimise their costs of network, maximise bandwidth throughput and render a much
consistent network experiences than internet based connection.
AWS Global Accelerator
This is undertaken as the networking services which improves their performance and availability
of applications which they provides to its international users. At current time, in cases they
deliver applications to its global users over public internet, their users could face inconsistent
availability and performance as they traverse by various public network for reaching their
applications. In addition to this, these public networks are often congested as well as all hop may
introduce risk of availability & performance. So, this infrastructure of network use into their
regular business operations. This is helpful in improving the availability of their application, they
should monitor its apps health endpoints as well as route traffic only to healthy endpoints.
Moreover, this develops availability of application through regularly observing the health of their
application endpoints and routing traffic to closet healthy endpoints.
B. Below is a spreadsheet from the Sales department of AllTech Group. It shows a forecast of
