چکیده
There has been an explosion of scholarship on platform capitalism, with scholars identifying emergent labor practices, organizational forms, and business models. is broad agreement that successful companies quickly dominate their markets, winner-takes-all scenarios are common. However, market domination should not only be viewed as a condition but also process defined by specific drivers practices. With regard to rapid expansion, much said about network effects data-intensive models fueled speculative logics well weak regulatory mechanisms. I advance the discussion expansion hyper-scalability focusing transformation in underlying computing arrangements shape growth platform-based companies. This article establishes cloud setting foundational sociotechnical infrastructure drives expansion.

A survey on impact of cloud computing security challenges on NFV infrastructure and risks mitigation solutions
Increased broadband data rate for end users and the cost of resource provisioning to an agreed SLA in telecom service providers, are forcing operators in order to adhere to employment Virtual Network Functions (VNF) in an NFV solution. The newly 5G mobile telecom technology is also based on NFV and Software Define Network (SDN) which inherit opportunities and threats of such constructs. Thus a ...
متن کاملModelling Cloud Computing Infrastructure
We present a modelling approach for an adaptive cloud infrastructure consisting of secure pools of virtualized resources, in order to facilitate automated management tasks and interaction with the system by a human administrator, or programmatically by a higher level service. The topology of such a system is rapidly changing as, for example, it has the abilities to create, modify or destroy poo...

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) based on virtual computing laboratories (VCL) model has been implemented in a small or medium scale on cloud computing in universities. Conventional physical computing laboratories with thousands of PCs are still widely used and co-exist with the VCL, however, the conventional PCs are not fully utilized in VCL. The demand of VDI is growing but the numbers of...
