Question

Give the URL of two different e-commerce Web sites. For one of the Web sites, outline the key technology infrastructure components necessary to support its e-commerce business


the two web sites I decided on was
ebay --which is consummer selling to consummer

amazon-- which is business selling to consummer

I can not figure out how to outline the key technology infrastructure components necessary to support amazon -- can any one explain what I need to do I know the key the technology is
High speed internet connection
Hardware,software , server operating system how do you outline these for a specific site


Just brainstorming here.

--Several Servers (since it's so large)
--Databases
--It could be housed on a number of different operating systems. I would look into which ones have that capabilities.
--Have to set it up for secure data transfer using SSL
--Obviously need a high speed internet connection, like you said.
--Many many lines of programming :)
