2.What are the different technologies and tools IATA used for its data operation on AWS?

3.How can AIU benefit from moving all its data and operations on to the cloud?

Case Study: International Air Transport Association The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the trade association for the world's airlines, representing 250 companies, which account for 84% of global air traffic. When the organization needed to boost the performance of its Bl platform, it looked to AWS to sun Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint in a hybrid solution integrated with its on premises Active Directory. Before moving to AWS, IATA used an on-premises datacenter for its Bl platform, which processes data from various sources and feeds that into its database. TATA migrated its Bl platform to AWS, and runs web, application, and database tiers of the solution, with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and 2012 as its database engine, on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. The TATA BI platform on AWS integrates with Salesforce.com and other third-party applications. The organization uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to store historical data. Using AWS has enabled IATA to provide its customers with more business value by leveraging capabilities, which were not possible with traditional solutions. For example, the organization can ingest terabytes of data into storage without prior capacity planning, and then process the data in a limited period of time. By migrating from an on- premises datacenter to AWS, IATA was able to achieve greater flexibility and speed of implementation. Now, it only takes minutes to set up a working environment, whereas with its previous solution, it took the organization days
