Market Study CHINA E- COMMERCE
Market Study CHINA E- COMMERCE OFFICIAL PROGRAM MARKET STUDY CHINA E-COMMERCE MARKET REPORT The size and growth rate of the e-Commerce market in China is unique. With more than 618 million Internet users, China has more users online than the USA has inhabitants. The opportunities for business are diverse and almost unlimited. However, due to special regulations and laws, e-Commerce in China works different than e-Commerce in the rest of the world. Since China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, this growth will also continue in the e-Commerce market. The speed at which the whole industry has grown, and also the manner in which it is affecting the Chinese economy has come as a surprise to many. This fast development also offers huge possibilities to foreign companies. But the most challenging question is, how to successfully enter the Chinese e-Commerce platform. This S-GE report is written with the collaboration of companies like Jura Elektroapparate AG, Swissmooh AG, Boschung China and goCommerce GmbH and gives insight on e-Commerce in China. This report also gives the insight of the tendencies, perspectives, opportunities, risks and market entry conditions of the B2C as well as the B2B e-Commerce sector in China for SMEs. Subsequently, the last part of the report provides some recommendations for SMEs willing to enter this promising market. Language: English Number of pages: 56 Author: Maurice Blanchard, CBC Schweiz AG Other reports: Are you interested in other reports for other sectors and countries?

Separating Protection and Management in Cloud Infrastructures
SEPARATING PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Zhiming Shen December 2017 c 2017 Zhiming Shen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SEPARATING PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES Zhiming Shen, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 Cloud computing infrastructures serving mutually untrusted users provide se- curity isolation to protect user computation and resources. Additionally, clouds should also support flexibility and efficiency, so that users can customize re- source management policies and optimize performance and resource utiliza- tion. However, flexibility and efficiency are typically limited due to security requirements. This dissertation investigates the question of how to offer flexi- bility and efficiency as well as strong security in cloud infrastructures. Specifically, this dissertation addresses two important platforms in cloud in- frastructures: the containers and the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. The containers platform supports efficient container provisioning and execut- ing, but does not provide sufficient security and flexibility. Different containers share an operating system kernel which has a large attack surface, and kernel customization is generally not allowed. The IaaS platform supports secure shar- ing of cloud resources among mutually untrusted users, but does not provide sufficient flexibility and efficiency. Many powerful management primitives en- abled by the underlying virtualization platform are hidden from users, such as live virtual machine migration and consolidation. The main contribution of this dissertation is the proposal of an approach in- spired by the exokernel architecture that can be generalized to any multi-tenant system to improve security, flexibility, and efficiency. -

We present Hybris key-value store, the first robust hybrid cloud storage system, aiming at addressing these concerns leveraging both private and public cloud resources. Hybris robustly replicates metadata on trusted private premises (private cloud), separately from data which is dispersed (using replication or erasure coding) across multiple untrusted public clouds. Hybris maintains metadata stored on private premises at the order of few dozens of bytes per key, avoiding the scalability bottleneck at the private cloud. -

More products are being sold online every year and the forecast for 2012 again promises an increase in sales. The success of the existing members of the market encourages additional businesses to start sell- ing their products through electronic commerce which strengthens the development even more. Since electronic commerce is heavily dependent on the software that provides platforms to manage and sell a company’s products and and represent its appearance on the internet a reliable and fully func- tional software foundation is one of the most essential parts when par- ticipating in this business. In many cases the software needed for elec- tronic commerce has to be integrated in an already existing software environment the company uses for their enterprise resource planning and selling processes. This integration process can vary from com- pany to company and is often a too less considered problem when starting to act in electronic commerce. -
