This blog post is created to provide additional reference materials for "Infrastructure-as-a-Service from a Business and Energy Consumption Perspective", an article authored by Qingye Jiang, Young Choon Lee, and Albert. Y. Zomaya at the School of Information Technologies in the University of Sydney.

A wide range of data sources are utilized to facilitate this research, including Gartner’s quarterly reports on worldwide server shipments, AWS official blog entries regarding price deduction and resource usage, Rackspace’s annual financial reports, performance and power consumption parameters from the Top500 supercomputer list, as well as some other web pages and public accessible presentations. The majority of these data sources are not in the form of a peer-reviewed academic article, but in the form of a public accessible URL. Since the amount of URL’s to be referred to would overwhelm the limited references list, we created this dedicated blog entry, with links to all the data sources being used in this article. The authors will also update this blog entry as new data source related to the topic becomes available, which will be helpful for further researches on similar subjects.
