Judge how VCC (Volvo Car Corp.) integrated the Cloud Infrastructure into its networks
Volvo Car Corporation (VCC) integrated the Cloud Computing Infrastructure into its networks. VCC entered into a technological partnership with another reputed company, Ericsson, which specializes in, inter-alia, third-party outsourcing with reference to ICT (Information & Communication Technology). VCC seeks to leverage Ericsson 's ICT experience in integrating the Connected Vehicle Cloud into its vehicle line. Future VCC cars will be able to access the cloud for infotainment, apps & communications.
Neither VCC nor Ericsson has furnished any details of what features the system will incorporate. However, a look at similar systems adopted by competitors suggests that navigation, informational applications (such as point of interest locators) and Internet radio services are likely attributes.
Lex Kersemakers, Sr. VP (Product Strategy & Vehicle Line Management) at VCC said, ‘Cloud infrastructure is a strategy input in VCCs’ investments for the future where we intend to take a leading position.’ Moreover, recent economic circumstances have prompted businesses to rethink and question if a third-party can run their IT operations more rationally, at a lower cost.
Explain how VCC transforms data into knowledge
Major share of computer processing units & sensors are embedded over VCC vehicles, from brakes to the central locking system, data is captured within the confines of vehicle itself plus for transmission via the cloud infrastructure directly to the manufacturer.
In all VCC vehicles, about 60 sensors are implanted that feed a CPU which transmits received data for cloud
