Answer 1

Answer - Amazon is the online retail business started in 1994 as an online bookstore. Now in 2017 it become the world’s one of the largest online retail business which is spread in almost all countries of the world. How this small business grown up in such a big size ? This transformation is due to the strategic planning & strategic execution by the Amazon team over a period of more than 20 years.

Amazon followed the basic strategy of 4+2, which helps the improvement in the business. Amazon followed the strategies as

The Amazon cloud drive give only 5 GB data for storage at initial level. After they charge as per their conditions like they can take additional charge of USD 0.50 per year for extra GB storage to the Amazons Clouds.

icloud is also not free. icloud give 5GB free at initial level there after we have to pay some lump sum amount for extra storage in GB.

Skydrive offer 7GB free and additional charge depending on the use of customer. They charge USD 10 for 20 GB per year and USD 25 for 50 GB per year.

My concern is very high in keeping my all data in cloud storage. We can say that data that is stored in I cloud is easy to use but still there is high risk. You put your picture, some important document etc. The service provider charges some fees and keeps our data secure and safe. Data is secured under the data protection act and it is the duty of service provider. So we can store our data in data storage like Amazon Cloud, icloud etc.

In future may be computer does not need to store data online. But so many people store their data privately so cloud storage is the early outrages stage for the storage of data. Everyone will move towards online data storage like Amazon cloud and the reason behind that we can retrieve our data easily. Our data is protected under the data protection act. Data is safe to store in cloud storage.
