E-Commere Cloud Hosting Questions?

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Will cloud hosting help small Ecommerce websites?

The short answer is it will help all of them.

Will cloud hosting cost large Ecommerce shops more?

Ecommerce is an ideal space for cloud computing because of the cyclical nature of the business. Many online shops, web retailers and vendors have large traffic events (holiday season, specials, and new product launches) that require additional resources to meet the short-term, increased demand. Cloud computing enables business owners to add computing resources (memory or processors), storage (disk space) or network (bandwidth), but just enough to cover the additional requirements and only for as long as they’ll be needed.

Can cloud hosting help during the peak times of the year?

Example: An electronics e-tailer might see a traffic increase of 2 to 3 times during November and December from holiday shoppers. Cloud computing allows the company to add just enough resources for those 6 to 8 weeks to meet the increased traffic demands. Once the holidays are over, those resources can be turned off. The company’s operating costs will presumably be more in line with revenue.

Why are their so many large Ecommerce companies not using cloud servers?

Tons of large Ecommerce businesses would love to switch to the cloud but are unable to do so because of the lack of technical know how.  Also, your cloud hosting provider has to be PCI compliant and there are only a handful of data centers in the world that meet that requirement right now.  Also, many of them are happy doing what they are doing and don’t realize that they could be saving 1000’s of dollars a month with new cloud servers.

Who is the top Ecommerce cloud hosting provider in the World?

Wow, that is a wonderful question.  I would have to say “It depends” on you.  It really depends on what your end goal is?  You need to do your research and find the top cloud server in the world is.  You can visit best cloud server’s “Top Cloud Hosting Reviews” page to find the best and most apporpriate solution for your ecommerce site.

TIBCO Unveils Cloud-Based Offering

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Fast Facts

--  The TIBCO Silver Spotfire offering is available at no charge for
    one-year and provides an authoring client, expansive web-based sharing
    and hosting for the user's favorite personal or business Spotfire
    application. Monthly hosting options are available for ongoing usage
    after the introductory year.


--  TIBCO Silver Spotfire is accessible for immediate use from
http://goto.spotfire.com/silverspotfire/

--  The ease-of-use of the service, which builds on TIBCO's previously
    announced TIBCO Silver(TM) initiative
http://www.tibco.com/company/news/releases/2009/press967.jsp    help expand TIBCO's footprint into the small and medium business and
    consumer market for dashboards and analytic apps. Unlike competitive
    products, the TIBCO Silver Spotfire and the TIBCO Silver cloud
    application delivery platform are fast, simple and easy to use. TIBCO
    Silver Spotfire streamlines the process of delivering cloud-based
    analytic apps and dashboards in a matter of minutes -- not months --
    by deploying what you need, when you need it to improve the way work
    gets done.


--  TIBCO Silver Spotfire is more than traditional BI in a SaaS offering;
    it is essentially a "social BI" offering that enables business teams
    to easily build and share reports, dashboards, charts, and other
    visualization and calculations in order to grow a corporate analytics
    knowledge base. TIBCO Silver Spotfire can be integrated with social
    media, allowing users to embed live dashboards into their business
    blogs and online articles, thereby distributing their analytic
    knowledge base more broadly than is possible with traditional BI
    tools.


--  TIBCO partners and service providers also benefit from this program by
    easily showcasing and exchanging their solutions and application
    templates with customers, prospects and members of the community.

Quotes

--  "This news builds on our cloud strategy of streamlining from months to
    minutes the time needed to build and deploy applications. TIBCO Silver
    Spotfire puts analytics, BI and rich disposable apps within anyone's
    reach in minutes -- rather than the months it took previously if IT
    was willing to deploy it. This means users can easily interact with
    our technology just where it is needed."
     -- Vivek Ranadive,
    Chairman and CEO, TIBCO Software Inc.


--  "We have now made it possible for anyone to analyze information and
    uncover compelling new insights from any data -- whether for
    assignments at work, such as sales and marketing reviews, budgeting
    and planning or project management, as well as projects at home, such
    as reviewing personal stock portfolios or analyzing fantasy sports
    teams. For this reason, TIBCO is making our new offering a quick and
    simple program, unlocking dashboards, analytics, and BI for anyone."

    -- Rock Gnatovich, Spotfire Chief Operating Officer, TIBCO Software
    Inc.


--  "Spotfire offers the only analytic platform that's intuitive, yet
    powerful enough to guide any user type -- from beginner to expert.
    With this new cloud-based offering, Spotfire is further empowering
    everyday users to get the on-demand information they need, rather than
    relying on IT to deliver pre-configured reports, common to many BI
    tools."
     -- Bill Carney, Vice President of Marketing, Veracode, Inc.
