Amazon: Notes From The AWS Conference

Summary:

  • Amazon AWS Conference underlines my point of view optimistic about stocks and short-term competitiveness of AWS.
  • SaaS and offer IoT the next stage of growth potential and margin expansion.
  • A long-term threat to the shares of Alibaba, which focuses on the North American market.
Upon returning from the Amazon Conference (NASDAQ AMZN) AWS, the author had the opportunity to refresh the lights and the potential implications. In summary, I remain positive on AWS an opportunity for AMZN, its position in the market in the short term and solid customer base. The growth of Internet Business Intelligence objects and should support the medium-term outlook and the fact that the company has not announced a price reduction at the conference suggests that the cloud remains price stability, which is positive for all market players, such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and even the new competitor to Alibaba (NYSE: BABA). AMZN remains one of the best ideas from the Internet. Not only beautifully core growing business of electronic commerce, the first of ecosystems company promises to be a game changer in the e-commerce space, similar to the way BABA is to create an ecosystem it consists of services financial, payment, media and value added services. I would be a buyer of the action at this level.

Compared with its competitors, AWS AMZN seems to be more dominant than ever. Historically, customers and partners of the event speak of competitiveness and GOOG MSFT, but it was interesting this year AWS believes that consensus is far ahead of its competitors, and is truly in a class hand. More importantly, AWS has a loyal customer base that has been in the platform since its early days. I note that many new companies have worked on the AWS platform and stood on the platform as they grew. In recent years, the largest as Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) company, General Electric (NYSE: GE) and BMW (OTCPK: BAMXY) began to choose their supplier AWS platform, and it appears that these companies They go beyond the experimental stage and the stage of mass adoption, which validates the capacity and reliability of AMZN. That said, a significant migration from the largest company in the AWS is a likely scenario, and the company can definitely benefit from this trend.

The Internet of Things will appeal to the outlook for growth that allows companies to connect with AWS services AMZN as Lambda, Kinesis, S3, machine learning, etc., and analyze data without having to manage any infrastructure . This will surely attract companies like flies IoT trend, in my opinion. Moreover, a product of Business Intelligence as QuickSite is an indication that AMZN continues to move in the SaaS business model that commands a higher margin. However, the company is definitely on the right track for growth.

The perception is that a short-term threat to the AWS is unlikely, but warn that competitive pressure could escalate in the long run, both players funded as Baba engaged increasingly in the US market (see: Alibaba : expansion of cloud services in the United States). Baba has recently launched its second data center, and my opinion is that the company will continue to build the infrastructure to support its growing e-commerce. One way to attract customers is the price and services, and Baba could potentially be a natural choice for companies looking to expand into China. The long-term implication of this could be that Baba is becoming a serious threat for AMZN, since both operate in the area of ​​electronic commerce.

AWS re:Invent 2015: Throwing a Snowball at the hardware market



Hardware vendors are constantly moving in and software offerings in the cloud, but it is not often that a cloud provider to launch a material supply and that is exactly what AWS has snowballed.

Indeed, the offer data transfer is part of the equipment and room services. AWS snowball is a transport device petabyte scale data transfer 50 TB per unit data into and out of AWS. Proof devices Secure and free manipulations are delivered to the customer, full of data, and then sent back to AWS and put in the cloud.

AWS Storage Services Vice President, Bill Vass, described the deal as an important tool for migrating customer data.

"As customers realize that your data contains key information that can lead to a competitive advantage, try to get as much data as quickly as possible AWS" he said.

The cloud provider, said one of the major pain points for clients was the time it takes to load large amounts of data.

While many in the AWS community partners are excited about the snowball, Australian partners still have the challenge of facing delays in services be available locally.

Australia Marketing Organization, Global Network, all the infrastructure is rebuilt in the AWS platform and is one of the providers of public cloud called his all-in technology partners.

Director of Global Information Network, Kartik Rao, said one of the challenges of being an Australian company using AWS is the deadline for delivery of services.

"Often there are delays in some services that come to our region," he said.

"For example, last year I'm here [AWS re: Invent]... Last year, it was announced Lambda was very exciting, we saw hundreds of applications for it Unfortunately, Lambda still unavailable in Sydney Availability of services essential is a challenge.

Bullets news director, John Ferlito, echoed the sentiments of Rao and added delays are just part of being on the other side of the world.

The cloud provider of Australia was one of the founding partners, when AWS local store opened in 2012. Bulletproof was the first member of the Asia-Pacific region, announced the re: Invent 2013. Ferlito he said RNA ago few weeks, the Company was also named AWS Partner managed service provider (MSP) partner.

"Sometimes, some of the new services will be available in AWS announced the US East or West of the United States, so it may take some time to get to Sydney," Ferlito said. "There is also a question that Sydney is less than three availability zones so that some of the products and services are difficult to handle.

"It's not so bad, however, you can implement other solutions. It is sometimes frustrating because you know there is an offer and has Australian customers who want to use and you can not help, wait until you get here, but AWS is working on this and the gap is narrowing.

"The other important thing is to keep track of all the changes and all new offers, is almost a full-time now."

The launch of the snowball is one of the big announcements for Ferlito, who says he will solve many of the pain points for customers and more business in the future.

"Move data backup around a big problem. If you think of a law firm that mass must keep records for seven years or organizations that must contain a lot of video, such as airports, which could be petabytes of data.You can not be sent through the network. It simply takes too long. So this is the snowball pretty interesting

"Actually, it's really the key, we have the rare customer who has bucket loads of data that needs to move, but the huge pain point for many companies.

"Sometimes the strange story of a hybrid operation of the company in which the workload is running locally and decided to break in the cloud when lack of local resources, and then pull it back he heard. It is good if you do not have a lot of data to move, but if you have a couple of terabytes of data, it takes just not move.

"Customers workloads with backup who want to leave the band and local storage and [AWS] S3, having Snowball units delivered and be able to put it in a box and send it back and has automatically in online is great.

"They ship One in Australia, but the problem for us is the issue would be expensive as it is imported from the United States or the American West. You can make a reproduction of S3 to copy again if you were in Sydney, although there are options there. I would be very surprised if the service has not been transferred to Australia too. I'm sure it's just a matter of creating a young boy in a place where they put in, connecting and magic happens. "

Amazon could cut prices and launch a super-fast

Amazon could cut prices and launch a super-fast database to take on Oracle and SAP next week:

Amazon AWS hold its annual re: Invent technology conference next week in Las Vegas, where he talks to customers about its popular Web Services cloud computing service Amazon.

There is a rumor that the new product could be announced: a new ultra fast data base "in memory".

At least that Merrill Lynch thinks Justin Post

"Amazon can will announce new products database, such as database memory or services databases higher as Aurora (MySQL) performance," he wrote in a research note earlier this week Post written to,

An in-memory database is running in the memory of a computer, instead of storing the computer, and can handle quantities of data "impious" almost instantaneous speeds, such as Oracle, Larry Ellison described President Once Oracle version of this product. The memory option is one of the central means Oracle is convincing is huge customer base to spend your last database, Oracle 12c.

SAP is also a major player here. Try taking his large stable enterprise software customers outside the Oracle database and its own alternative in memory, Hana. Bet all your company in the database of Hana, the president admitted earlier this year.

Amazon already offers a variety of ways to make databases in the cloud memory (including SAP Hana), and a variety of their own data bases orchard.

However, Amazon says its work on multiple databases, saying in a job for a database developer (emphasis added), "These are exciting times in our space - are growing fast, but still at an early stage and to work on new ambitious initiatives, where an engineer at any level can have a significant technical and commercial impact. "

If Amazon is introducing a new database data in memory, it will not make happy Oracle or SAP.

The databases are bits of software in the commercial operations of a dependent. Companies do not do very often or very easily. But providers of databases are known for some pretty draconian methods to extort their customers for money. As companies rush to cloud computing, many do not care to find less expensive alternatives based data.

And Amazon is the cheapest, the king of cost cutting cloud world.

Amazon is still cutting prices. In July, prices fell AWS 49 times and he just announced another drop in prices of its storage service in September.

And Amazon for a new round of cost reductions should be. It is said to be released to his program next week.

He was given the reduced costs of the war a name in the industry: The Race to Zero. This means that over time some cloud providers, especially cloud storage will reduce the low price, they will give them for free. (In fact, earlier this year, Google went ahead and did it with their application photos. He threw the unlimited, free.)

So as it grows in the Amazon database services, reduce costs along the way, companies may be willing to give a new test database.
