  This report is divided into three parts. Firstly, an explanation of the cloud
storage products is given, in particular, the Amazon Simple Storage Service
(S3). Secondly, the report discusses a case study about SmugMug's migration to
the cloud hosted by Amazon. SmugMug is a premium online photo and video sharing
service business, and currently has billions of photos and videos from amateur
and professional photographers around the world. This report also includes a
step by step explanation of how to modify a website and use Amazon S3 to host
videos in the cloud. These findings are evaluated in terms of how useful Amazon
S3 can be for an e-learning institute, especially one that is geared towards
mobile delivery of content. Finally, the paper covers the copyright, and
privacy implications, in order to understand the larger context.
