I have a question about pricing and availability of cloud computing, do you know what is suitable?

I am thinking about an optimal way for my server. I need a huge bandwidth (for multimedia) and also enough CPU resources (for encoding/decoding), that is public, it means both are very high. I don't know if I should think about Amazon or something you suggestion. I want it to be a linux sever (I want a virtual server).

Can anyone help with this?I have a question about pricing and availability of cloud computing, do you know what is suitable?
First off, what are you doing with this multimedia server? Is it just going to be a data bank for videos and gaming? Is this for friends to use or cloud gaming?



Also, servers are very expensive costing around $2000 and more. As for the operating system, which linux OS do you plan to use? If you want virtual capabilities on your server, you need to use a bare metal supervisor like ESXi. It can get complicated and expensive for what you plan to do. Try researching a bit more on virtualization.

What does "computing resources" really mean?

So I've been doing research on on-demand computing (utility computing, cloud computing, and grid computing), but I still don't have any idea what "computing resources" means (could you provide examples?).



Thanks.What does "computing resources" really mean?
Well, let me go in detail,

First, look at this link to understand the meaning of resources on web:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_the_鈥?/a>

and you can define this as:



"Aggregate of available computer hardware, software, documentation, supplies, support services, and trained personnel."What does "computing resources" really mean?
Umm... available computers.

What is the cloud computing mean and can we apply to home automation ?

Get your head into the clouds —learn what cloud computing is and how to use it There's a lot more to cloud computing than you may realize.





http://e-bookstunnel.blogspot.com/2011/09/cloud-computing-for-dummies.htmlWhat is the cloud computing mean and can we apply to home automation ?
Cloud Computing means that all the applications and your data files are on a remote computer belonging to a company somewhere across the Internet. You can then have a cheaper device at your end instead of a personal computer. However, there will come a time when the company that stores all the applications for you to use in the 'cloud' will charge you for using those applications. They may also charge you for the data storage of your personal file, although data transfer (upload-download) companies don't at the moment. Also at some time they could lose all of your data files, so check the cloud computing contract to ensure that you get a lot of money from them when they lose your data.

I imagine that it will mainly be companies that will use cloud computing to save the cost of buying lots of personal computers. Cloud computing will really be like going back to the old days of employees having a 'terminal' (a simple device without its own processor or storage) remotely connected to a main-frame computer.What is the cloud computing mean and can we apply to home automation ?
Cloud is Device Independent, Location-independent, Online Utility that is available on Demand.



Home Automation software is basically deployed on hand held devices. I don't think it makes sense to go for cloud in this case.

But a home automation company can definitely benefit itself from the cloud based "collaboration %26amp; productivity apps"

Cloud computing security?

What security and privacy issues are associated with cloud data storage? What would you suggest should be done for mitigating these threats?Cloud computing security?
The security and privacy issues occur if Microsoft is involved as they work with the NSA. Also, no system is 100% perfect. Even if all the precautions are taken, something can and most likely will eventually go wrong.



No one use windows. Everything should be done in a secure unix-like environment.



Properly secured Linux or BSD servers should house everything. In addition to having proper customized IP tables for their firewalls, they should also feature a policy manager such as SE Linux or App Armor.Cloud computing security?
I am sorry,Panic is inevitableCloud computing security?
cloud computing security = zero, "trustability" of cloud computing providers = zero, vulnerability of online storage = infinity plus the company can go bust anytime
Since the data is stored on your Hosting companies infrastructure it would depend on their firewalls and security. Most companies are now fully equipped with back up services since you have the military moving to the cloud. There's an informative article on the site below about security:

Cloud Computing??!!!??!?!?

what is it? ive heard it lets you store all of your data (music, videos, pictures, apps, etc.) on the internet account (google docs, etc.) so that you don't need to use a hard drive.. is this true?Cloud Computing??!!!??!?!?
Yes you can get free accounts from Sky Drive or Drop Box amongst others.

You usually get about 25GB of storage space

If you have ADSL broadband with a slow upload speed then it can take ages to upload your files.

I have Sky Drive mapped as a network drive on my computer, it shows up as drive Y on my desktop and i just drag and drop files into it. The files are then sent via the internet to the Sky Drive server which is thousands of miles away.

So long as you can get onto the internet then you can access your files. It doesn't matter who your ISP is, you can use these services just like you would use an email service from google or yahoo or hotmail.

You still need to keep local copies of the files though either on your computer or on an external hard drive just in case you cant get onto the internet. Otherwise when you are offline you would not have access to the files.

Its OK for keeping backups but i wouldn't want to use it for much else just in case i cant get on the internet.

If you want to map Skydrive as a network drive then this is how you do it in Office 2010

1. Open up a Microsoft Office 2010 application, e.g. Word, Excel, etc.
2. Click the File tab
3. Click “Save %26amp; Send”
4. Click “Save to web”
5. Click “Sign In”
6. Type in your Windows Live email address and password and Click OK
7. Choose or create a new folder and then Click Save As.
8. Note: If you want your documents to be private, make sure you don’t use the Public folder
9. When the save window appears, Copy the URL location in the address bar. (note the save window may take a few seconds to appear)
10. Open up the Start Menu, Right-Click “My Computer” and Click “Map network drive”
11. Paste the previously copied URL into the Folder text box, you can also choose what drive letter you want to be associated with the skydrive
12. Check the Connect using different credentials box.
13. Click Finish
14. When prompted enter your Windows Live email address and password again
15. Click OK.
Pretty much true and the answers that you have got are OK. The question is: do people want to store their own information on their own computer as they have always done in the past or store it somewhere unknown at the far end of a very long "telephone line" that may cease to function at an inappropriate time and deny them access to their their stored information that would have been available if it was on their own hard drive?
I have yet to be convinced that it is feasible at the moment.
They can try to predict and engineer the future, but at the end of the day they must be able to make it work (and reliably) to be able to convince people to change from a satisfactory method of working to what is at the moment a "dream world" that with improving faster and more compact technology may not even be required or indeed saleable.
(If it works as well as the American spell checker on this site it is a definite non-starter)!Cloud Computing??!!!??!?!?
It really depends. If your ISP offers cloud computing or hosting companies, then yes, you can store almost anything. Basically what it is, is a server accessible via the net that you can store files on, run applications from (if capable). Microsoft's has applications loaded onto it that anyone can access and use. Other companies are doing the same for inter-company applications. Some hosting companies are doing it for simple web hosting sites. It's a giant file/storage server. The term 'cloud computing' is new but the concept and application has been around for a long time. Hope this helps.
yes and no. Most people do not use the term correctly. The "cloud" as you describe it exists for years...the real "cloud" concept is that your computer is not even in your home...the actual computing is done far far away...and then you only receive video/audio and data.



Imagine you have a wireless monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers...and that your computer is in another state... Now this computer is not even yours...it's rented and it taken care of by a company you pay. It means you don't need to take care of updates, upgrades and anything material. It also means your setup at home will cost less since it's not really a computer. Of course, if the internet connection gives up, you have access to absolutely nothing...which is the big problem with "the cloud" concept.Cloud Computing??!!!??!?!?
Yes, you basically have it nailed down.

Its a way of storing data online "In the cloud"

Google are actually in the process of making a computer that doesn't have a hard drive!!! it will only use cloud based storage!!

    Some cloud providers (Amazon, IBM) are ISO 27001 compliant.

    Microsoft rack 1000s of servers into a container and the container is sealed until it's decommissioned.

    It's a toss up between do you trust a cloud provider who's business depends on its reputation in terms of security and can devote a professional team dedicated to this purpose or your own IT guys looking after your servers in your premises (which won't be as physically secure as the cloud providers). I'd put my money on the former.What do you believe are the Security Impacts of using Cloud Computing?

    I think that cloud computing is a security disaster just waiting to happen.

    What is VPN and cloud computing?

    VPN is a "virtual private network" which is a secure connection from a remote location to a private network. You work at home, but still have access to your work network, example. Cloud Computing is a term used to describe the resources available to you, but not located on your computer. This is like a Gmail account. You don't install the mail server, but use it over the net.

    What is the cloud computing?

    Cloud means Internet, so cloud computing means that save your computing data on the internet rather then the PC. It'll helps you to overcome your dependency on the PC and servers, and allows you to save your data on the internet thus you can easily access all of the data from any location.What is the cloud computing?
    In my opinion, a silly concept that someone likely invented while smoking marijuana, in the midst of a "cloud" of dope smoke and with their mind obviously in the clouds. But I'll give you a real answer.



    Basically, it's a trend that a lot of companies are following, and which is being pushed by people like Google and Apple, away from full-fledged stand-alone desktop and laptop computers with physical storage and productivity programs installed. In cloud computing, applications and data are stored on, and run directly from an Internet connection. Google Docs is a great example of a cloud computing application already in existence.



    The adoption of cloud computing means that less-capable, and therefore cheaper, hardware can be used. The drawbacks are dependence on an always-on Internet connection and security issues, since a person's data is not under their physical control, but living on a server somewhere else. The latter is the reason that a lot of people don't like the idea, including me.What is the cloud computing?
    With simple words: cloud computing is when a bunch of applications are in one place and can be accessed by users through the internet. You don't use applications locally but through internet. This applications can be accessible from different electronic devices, such pc, smartphones ecc.



    In the complicated way, cloud computing is: a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. (Wikipedia).What is the cloud computing?
    In general, the essence of cloud computing is the way of keeping information. In traditional computing, we store all data and programs on our PCs and normally we can access them only through the same computer unless you allow remote access. Whereas in cloud computing all necessary data and programs are stored in the service provider’s information centre and thereof they can be accessed from any PC with an Internet connection. In many cases you don’t even have to download and install any applications to your computer, because they are already in the “cloud”.

    Cloud computing, when discussing this topic, what are the main things to talk about?

    Cloud computing is the next generation of computing, similar to mainframe computing. The user will only run whatever software he needs to on his computer, sort of like when he pays for electricity. The machine he uses will be the terminal and the data for the program will be stored on the servers residing far away.Cloud computing, when discussing this topic, what are the main things to talk about?
    (1) Software versioning: the end-user's dependence upon the cloud provider's software. In fact, the user has no say over when the cloud provider decides to implement new releases to the software, or new features, or to remove existing features. The terms of the contract must be analyzed very carefully.



    (2) Data security: the end-user places the end-user's data into the cloud-provider's hands and trusts the cloud-provider for backups and data integrity (backups, non-corruption of data, and very important, protection from prying eyes if the data is confidential in nature such as financial or personally identifiable information). The cloud-provider must not only protect the data from sources OUTside the cloud-provider's company, but also from malicious and/or incompetent threats WITHIN the cloud-provider's company! The terms of the contract must be analyzed very carefully.



    (3) Reliability and availability of data and service: the cloud-provider must commit to the end-user's anticipated needs for service (including not only data availability but also end-user problem support). The terms of the contract must be analyzed very carefully.Cloud computing, when discussing this topic, what are the main things to talk about?

  • Cloud Computing the end of IT career?

    I recently just got a certified as a Microsoft Systems Engineer and Cisco certified as well and I am working to upgrade to Server 2008 soon this year. I'm going to graduate college in another year so I'm not really working a full time career other than part time.



    However I'm reading all this stuff about Cloud Computing and this and that and I've got to wonder if I am wasting all my effort and time if my certs and what I'm learning now will not be in demand 5 to 10 years from now.



    Cloud Computing basically removes all the IT from the business to one massive securely controlled data center which essentially throws any need or demand of IT support or admin/system's support out the window because everything will be done online ect.



    I'm also not sure how Microsoft will encounter this in their server products post 2012 either.



    So am I wasting my time or will my skills be in demand in the future?Cloud Computing the end of IT career?
    I've been working in IT for over 20 years now. Think there's been rumblings about cloud computing for at least the last 10 or so.



    There's always rumblings about technology that promises to make our lives easier and reduce the number of jobs for any given position.



    There's no end in sight of needing good people in IT. (think you might want to get some Unix/Linux certs though).



    Best of luck!!

    They will still need people to help with all things IT related, such as in those centers, you could work in a center like that. You could use your expertise in developing the internet itself...and no matter what, hardware will always be needed somewhere...because the cloud needs to be running from somewhere, and that would be centers in this case.



    The best thing I would recommend is to talk to someone who in knowledgeable in the field, such as the professors/teachers teaching you these courses.



    Good luck!Cloud Computing the end of IT career?
    The IT world changes every day, and isn't likely to look just like it is today, by the time you graduate.



    That said, IT skills will still be needed. "Cloud" or no (and it's far from sure that reality will match hype) someone will still have to understand how things work.



    It will be very important to keep your skills current during your career - things WILL change. But it's gradual, not like one day everything used the day before is suddenly gone or obsolete.Cloud Computing the end of IT career?
    Don't be surprised! Soon, the IT department will soon be one person that just brings you a very cheap computer that is not worth fixing. No need for high memory because all of the hard work will be on the server at the company in the cloud. The data centers are probably gonna be located in India.
    So think if it this way: If a company is going to a cloud model, who is running the cloud? It just means that people are needed in a different space, not the end of needing qualified, skilled individuals.

    What is cloud computing ?? plzz tell me the concept?? (microsoft)?

    Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access. This technology allows for much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing and bandwidth.



    A simple example of cloud computing is Yahoo email or Gmail etc. You dont need a software or a server to use them. All a consumer would need is just an internet connection and you can start sending emails. The server and email management software is all on the cloud ( internet) and is totally managed by the cloud service provider Yahoo , Google etc. The consumer gets to use the software alone and enjoy the benefits. The analogy is , 'If you only need milk , would you buy a cow ?' All the users or consumers need is to get the benefits of using the software or hardware of the computer like sending emails etc. Just to get this benefit (milk) why should a consumer buy a (cow) software /hardware ?



    Cloud computing is broken down into three segments: "applications," "platforms," and "infrastructure." Each segment serves a different purpose and offers different products for businesses and individuals around the world. In June 2009, a study conducted by VersionOne found that 41% of senior IT professionals actually don't know what cloud computing is and two-thirds of senior finance professionals are confused by the concept,[1] highlighting the young nature of the technology. In Sept 2009, an Aberdeen Group study found that disciplined companies achieved on average an 18% reduction in their IT budget from cloud computing and a 16% reduction in data center power costsWhat is cloud computing ?? plzz tell me the concept?? (microsoft)?
    In a nutshell it means the software/data is stored not on your computer but on server on the internet. The Cloud is The Net.
    Everything is on the Internet. You pay for a service (web hosting, email, etc.,) only as you use it.What is cloud computing ?? plzz tell me the concept?? (microsoft)?
    Bill Gates wanted to put a computer on every desk. Cloud computing is the opposite: you have a dumb terminal on your desk and the apps are in a central mainframe or on the web.
    everything in the INTERNETWhat is cloud computing ?? plzz tell me the concept?? (microsoft)?
    various methods of computing (software, infrastructure, platform) delivered as a service; since u have mentioned microsoft, they have a development platform for developers named, Azure; In this case, the developers use their platform azure, develop, store and deploy using the services offered by microsoft azure; you will have to pay on the usage, data storage and others., in this case you dont have to purchase the software and additional hardware when we use such services;
    In a few words cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like the electricity grid. I wanted to know well what it was and i found this site; a fantastic site that explains all you want to know about cloud computing. Take a see, i advice it.

    What is cloud computing?

    Let us simplify this with a simple example: Gmail is a cloud service. Having said that, this doesn't mean that any service hosted on the web is a cloud service. Cloud Computing Services must have following 5 attributes:



    ---available everywhere i.e. uses Internet technologies, hassle-free, in most cases no installations/downloads etc.

    ---available on demand i.e. metered like your electric bills.

    ---can be accessed on any device i.e. device independent.

    ---Resource Sharing i.e Multi-Tenant (ability of the software to be offered to multiple users),

    ---Scalable %26amp; Elastic i.e. capacity can be sized up or sized down with in minutes, based on demand. Your business is growing you spin up more servers %26amp; pay only for whatever you use. Come recession %26amp; if your business is shrinking use less number of servers %26amp; pay less. This is as simple %26amp; quick as a simple configuration/settings. (No need to buy infrastructure which may lie idle/unproductive once your business doesn't require them)



    A common user will use Cloud SaaS (Gmail, Dropbox etc). Developers %26amp; techies use Cloud IaaS (hosting infrastructure) %26amp; PaaS (development environment).



    A simple yet elaborate article (with examples) on cloud computing is here:



    http://www.techno-pulse.com/2009/12/clou鈥?/a>What is cloud computing?
    Cloud computing is a tricky subject because there are many definitions of what constitutes cloud computing.

    But in general, the concept is that of providing computing resources as a service to the end user, whether that is a service which is free or not is up to the service provider. Generally, cloud computing contains multiple servers which host the application and data to provide redundancy, scalability and to live up to SLA's(Service Level Agreements) provided as part of the service.

    A cloud computing application is any application that can be delivered over the web browser without requiring installation and configuration of that application.

    It is not required that a cloud computing application be "on the internet" for it to be considered as such. It could simply be a distributed application on a corporate intranet.
    Cloud computing is where your data and computer programs reside on a computer--called a "server"--somewhere else. You only use your computer at home to communicate with server. Since your computer at home holds none of the data or computer programs, it doesn't matter what computer you use to communicate with the server. You can go to a friend's house, log into the cloud computer using your friend's computer, and all your data and computer programs will still be sitting there available to you.What is cloud computing?
    Basically, putting your data in the Internet. Other concepts include instant. You save, you change, it gets updates everywhere instantly. I'm a developer, and I build cloud apps.



    Basically, the cloud is a term for a server that has a lot of essential data, that's available everywhere once you change something, made easy with Ajax and PHP/MySQL
    I don't think I will ever use cloud computing because it might not be safe once the hackers start doing their thing. Anyway, I think you will have to pay for it, and as I pay enough now for different things I do know, I think I will keep using external dria few usbs.What is cloud computing?
    Cloud is just hard drive space that is on the Internet and you can put stuff in the cloud or space instead of your hard drive.

    What is cloud computing? i want some detailed information.?

    Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition.





    As a metaphor for the Internet, "the cloud" is a familiar clich茅, but when combined with "computing," the meaning gets bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is "in the cloud," including conventional outsourcing.



    [ Learn more about the new breed of utility computing and platform-as-a-service offerings. ]



    Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.



    Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a slew of cloud-based services, from full-blown applications to storage services to spam filtering. Yes, utility-style infrastructure providers are part of the mix, but so are SaaS (software as a service) providers such as Salesforce.com. Today, for the most part, IT must plug into cloud-based services individually, but cloud computing aggregators and integrators are already emerging.



    InfoWorld talked to dozens of vendors, analysts, and IT customers to tease out the various components of cloud computing. Based on those discussions, here's a rough breakdown of what cloud computing is all about:



    1. SaaS

    This type of cloud computing delivers a single application through the browser to thousands of customers using a multitenant architecture. On the customer side, it means no upfront investment in servers or software licensing; on the provider side, with just one app to maintain, costs are low compared to conventional hosting. Salesforce.com is by far the best-known example among enterprise applications, but SaaS is also common for HR apps and has even worked its way up the food chain to ERP, with players such as Workday. And who could have predicted the sudden rise of SaaS "desktop" applications, such as Google Apps and Zoho Office?



    2. Utility computing

    The idea is not new, but this form of cloud computing is getting new life from Amazon.com, Sun, IBM, and others who now offer storage and virtual servers that IT can access on demand. Early enterprise adopters mainly use utility computing for supplemental, non-mission-critical needs, but one day, they may replace parts of the datacenter. Other providers offer solutions that help IT create virtual datacenters from commodity servers, such as 3Tera's AppLogic and Cohesive Flexible Technologies' Elastic Server on Demand. Liquid Computing's LiquidQ offers similar capabilities, enabling IT to stitch together memory, I/O, storage, and computational capacity as a virtualized resource pool available over the network.What is cloud computing? i want some detailed information.?
    you wanted information about cloud computing here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_compu鈥?/a>What is cloud computing? i want some detailed information.?
    The term Cloud Computing derives from the common depiction in most technology architecture diagrams, of the Internet or IP availability, using an illustration of a cloud. The computing resources being accessed are typically owned and operated by a third-party provider on a consolidated basis in Data Center locations. Target consumers are not concerned with the underlying technologies used to achieve the increase in server capability, and is sold simply as a service available on demand. Grid computing is a technology approach to managing a cloud. In effect, all clouds are managed by a grid but not all grids manage a cloud. More specifically, a compute grid and a cloud are synonymous, while a data grid and a cloud can be different.



    Cloud computing gained attention in 2007 as it became a popular solution to the problem of horizontal scalability.



    A computer cluster can offer cost-effective service in specific applications, but may be limited to a single type of computing node that allows all nodes to run a common operating system. Alternatively, the canonical definition of grid is one that allows any type of processing engine to enter or leave the system dynamically. This is analogous to an electrical power grid on which any given generating plant might be active or inactive at any given time.[1]



    Critical to the notion of cloud computing is the automation of many management tasks. If the system requires human intervention to allocate processes to resources, it's not a cloud, but is merely a data center.

    cloud computing is a superb tech which allows us to access our data whenever you want once uploaded but the only questioning thing is the security. we can not trust too much on its security %26amp; privacy.

    What is Cloud Computing?

    A Cloud can do many things but most people use it for files, think of it as a USB pen in your pocket but all you need to do is log on to get the files you uploaded.What is Cloud Computing?
    Cloud Computing is a very vague term and you will find it applied to a lot of different types of services. At it's most general, Cloud Computing is some sort of computing resource that is accessed over the internet, is purchased on-demand, and can rapidly scale up and down based on demand. A cloud computing service may be an application, a database, or just a service that processes data.



    The big advantages of it is that there is very little up-front cost to get started, and capacity of the service can be rapidly scaled up and down as needed. Disadvantages would be that since it's accessed over the internet, without an active connection you can't access the service, and accessing it over the public internet can lead to security issues you wouldn't have with an internal server.What is Cloud Computing?
    Cloud computing is technology that delivery computing as a service rather than a product. The shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network (the Internet). Data and applications are maintained using the internet and central remote servers. Consumers and businesses can use the applications / access their personal files without installation at any computer with internet access. Technology centralizes storage, memory, processing and bandwidth.



    A simple example of cloud computing is Yahoo email, Gmail, or Hotmail etc. Internet based companies using cloud computing technology are: Amazon, Google, etc.





    Based on the location it is hosted cloud may be private, public, hybrid, community cloud.



    On the basis of service provided cloud is classified as:



    Infrastructure As A Service (IAAS)

    Platform As A Service (PAAS)

    Software As A Service (SAAS)





    http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Cloud_C鈥?/a>

    http://microreviews.org/types-of-cloud-c鈥?/a>



    Advantages: No installation required so business save a lot

    Access your data at all times;

    A physical storage center is no longer needed;





    Disadvantages: Internet connection is mandatory

    Security is an issue;

    Lost control comes with handing over your data and information;



    to know more search in Google "disadvantages of cloud computing"; "advantages of cloud computing" and you can find many differences.What is Cloud Computing?
    Let us simplify this with a simple example: Gmail is a cloud service. Having said that, this doesn't mean that any service hosted on the web is a cloud service. Cloud Computing Services "must have" following 5 attributes:

    ---available everywhere i.e. uses Internet technologies, hassle-free, in most cases no installations/downloads etc.
    ---available on demand i.e. metered like your electric bills.
    ---can be accessed on any device i.e. device independent.
    ---Resource Sharing i.e Multi-Tenant (ability of the software to be offered to multiple users),
    ---Scalable %26amp; Elastic i.e. capacity can be sized up or sized down with in minutes, based on demand. Your business is growing you spin up more servers %26amp; pay only for whatever you use. Come recession %26amp; if your business is shrinking use less number of servers %26amp; pay less. This is as simple %26amp; quick as a simple configuration/settings. (No need to buy infrastructure which may lie idle/unproductive once your business doesn't require them)

    A common user will use Cloud SaaS (Gmail, Dropbox etc). Developers %26amp; techies use Cloud IaaS (hosting infrastructure) %26amp; PaaS (development environment).

    As far as disadvantages are concerned a few experts believe that security %26amp; data privacy may be a few of the issues in cloud. With advancement in technology %26amp; laws, these issue may subside gradually with time.
    cloud is an online data base where you get so much storage space which can be accessed from anywhere in the world eg if you stored a word doc in uk you can then go to say new zealand and access it from a computer

    Hi, I really need help on this one.

    I am a student in college and I have to build a private cloud for my coordinator. I need some software that can run and manage a small scale private cloud within my schools lab.



    Opensource is good if I can find something, I have been researching the past couple days and have not been able to find anything.



    VMware has some software but we took a look at it and we do not want to go in that direction. (Too expensive and complex for what we want to do.)



    Final note, we do not want to rent services from another company, we want to host our own cloud. I do have a budget so if there is something not opensource to look at please post that as well.



    If anyone knows of any software please help me out.What is a good Cloud Computing Management Software?

    What exactly is cloud computing?

    a professor confused me.

    he says a storage server doesnt act as cloud server. only a server which can execute some program or app acts as cloud server.is that right?

    another prof says a cloud server doesn't share users date with users friends. for ex rapidshare which store documents does not share a user accounts data even if user wants to with another user of rapid share. i have taken ex of rapidshare as an example analogy for any application which has several users with their documents and friends list and with some of tis friends user wants to share dataWhat exactly is cloud computing?
    Cloud computing, as I understand it, are systems that share resources in the computing environment, but are not restricted to single server and/or geographic location, and presenting it as a single service to the users. I think your professors are mostly correct, but they just need to elaborate more so you understand.



    Yes, a storage server doesn't make a cloud. But several storage servers might. Take Google docs for example. Lets say you have two text files stored there, in Google Docs. One file could exist on a server in California, the other in Minnesota. The web interface could be run on a server in Dallas while the word processing application runs on a server in Chicago. All these different systems work together, but all you, the user, sees all this stuff just working in front of you on the webpage. This is cloud computing.

    Cloud computing is pretty much putting all of your software, files, and information, that you would normally store on your own harddrive and servers, and having it put on a remote server. You can access all of your information, files, and software through an internet connection instead of off of a flash drive or disk, etc.What is cloud computing for dummies ?
    Using virtualized services which run on a distributed, high availability infrastructure. Basically you run your programs on some machine you don't even know where physically is, or what kind of hardware is working underneath. You pay for the service availability, not the hardware/software.

    Cloud computing will not replace computers. It will only give it a whole new platform to work on.

    It will replace huge hard disks.You need not store your documents on your storage device. The "cloud" will do that.All your documents can be accessed by retrieving it.

    Cloud is just a huge network of powerful servers which divide their power among users.

    Cloud computing question.... HELP?

    Ok so I鈥檓 undertaking my dissertation and I鈥檝e done a load of research but i still have a few questions....



    I plan on setting up a server or two and a few networked host devices as well as the intermediary devices to link them, all within the uni campus.



    The goal is to allow users to access software on those servers from home or within the campus, the software needing to be accessed are database programs like Weka, mySQL and maybe even Microsoft Visio for diagram construction.



    I鈥檝e been doing some research into cloud and this seem like the best option, however im getting abit lost when it comes to IaaS and SaaS... if I鈥檓 right IaaS won鈥檛 allow me to do what i need as instead it is aimed towards controlling the cloud where as SaaS just provides software without maintaining the cloud??



    Say I were to use Ubuntu Enterprise cloud or Eucalyptus to create the networked cloud, would I then be able to grant access to these programs by creating a virtualised image of a system with only OS, Weka, SQL and visio installed so the user gains access to that system image and runs it? or will I need to look elsewhere???



    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel kinda lost nowCloud computing question.... HELP?
    I have to concur with BigE for my answer, but suspect it isn't the one you're actually looking for. I would be tackling this problem with a premise of "what problem am I REALLY trying to solve?" That being controlled access to network resources and there are probably a half a dozen old venerable (spelled understood and not in a fast-flux evolution) means of accomplishing that goal. HTaccess is probably the oldest, though that's deprecated now in modern releases of Apache. VPN is another one, though possibly over-kill and fairly tough on your users for configuration of iPhones and netbooks.



    Unfortunately, you used "dissertation" in your first sentence, which makes my highly suspicious that you're trying to BECOME a Cloud guru and if that is the problem you're trying to solve, than you're probably on your own. I say this because to date, there are exactly NO IEEE ratified standards in this nebulous Cloud arena and enormous vested interests are involved in keeping it that way.



    Good luck and may the force be with you. :-)

    I commend you for trying to do cloud computing. I am not a clould guy, but I don't think

    you need to "cloud" your database, at least for rev 1. That is like 10 times the complexity, and

    can be done later. Databases are meant to be accessed via a network, so personally I would

    What is Cloud Computing/Programming?

    Wiki does a pretty good job explaining it:

    Could someone explain what is cloud computing please?

    http://blogs.discovery.com/good_idea/Could someone explain what is cloud computing please?
    The article you linked has a pointer to the Wikipedia entry for cloud computing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_compu鈥?/a>



    The term "cloud" is synonymous with Internet. It comes from the days when we first had computers at one location - such as a bank's main office - sending and receiving data from computers at another location - such as a bank's branch office - using the Internet to bridge the two. Since nobody really knew the exact amount of firewall, router and other equipment involved and exact path of the data communication (which might change as one part gets congested with too much data traffic) within the Internet itself, it was just represented as a big, fluffy cloud with communications going into the cloud and coming out. At that time, we weren't interested in keeping data on machines in the Internet (i.e., in the cloud). Rather, we just passed data through the cloud to machines that we under our control.



    Cloud computing then, is when we are passing data to and from a local machine (under our control) from and to a machine located somewhere in the Internet that is not under our control. It's likely that you are already using cloud computing.



    If you have a gmail (or hotmail or yahoo) mail account, you read, reply and create your email on a computer in front of you. The cloud part comes in when you consider that when you read an email, you are just looking at a local copy of an email. The original is on a Google mail server - somewhere out there. When you create a new email and send it, the mail is stored on a Google mail server and then sent on to the recipient. Where is this server? What brand is it? How much disk space does it have? You don't know, really. What's more, you don't care. Rather than mail being an application on your computer (such as Microsoft Outlook) and having your email stored as files on your computer, you use a browser (which is an application in its own right) to access an web-based service (Gmail) for your email. Facebook, Myspace and Google Apps are other examples of cloud computing which are already available. Your data is on computers you don't own, touch, or see, but instead you use the cloud computer's services to create, view, edit and even delete it.



    That is the crux of "cloud computing." Functions you used to do by installing applications onto a computer under your control and then creating or copying files onto that computer (email, word processing, spreadsheets, song libraries, etc.) you now access as services using applications on a computer you probably don't even know the location of let alone what hardware is in it. Your data is somewhere on those "cloud computers."

    What is Cloud Computing?

    Here are some clear explanations:

    Basically its selling\providing products and\or services via the Intranet. This may be private or public.

    2. http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.c鈥?/a>What is Cloud Computing?
    Cloud computing is Internet based development and use of computer technology . In concept, it is a paradigm shift whereby details are abstracted from the users who no longer need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.



    The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams and is an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it conceals. Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online which are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.What is Cloud Computing?
    Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flow charts and diagrams.

    A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time; and the service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access). Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet and a weak economy, have accelerated interest in cloud computing.





    A cloud can be private or public. A public cloud sells services to anyone on the Internet. (Currently, Amazon Web Services is the largest public cloud provider.) A private cloud is a proprietary network or a data center that supplies hosted services to a limited number of people. When a service provider uses public cloud resources to create their private cloud, the result is called a virtual private cloud. Private or public, the goal of cloud computing is to provide easy, scalable access to computing resources and IT services.





    Infrastructure-as-a-Service like Amazon Web Services provides virtual server instances with unique IP addresses and blocks of storage on demand. Customers use the provider's application program interface (API) to start, stop, access and configure their virtual servers and storage. In the enterprise, cloud computing allows a company to pay for only as much capacity as is needed, and bring more online as soon as required. Because this pay-for-what-you-use model resembles the way electricity, fuel and water are consumed, it's sometimes referred to as utility computing.





    Platform-as-a-service in the cloud is defined as a set of software and product development tools hosted on the provider's infrastructure. Developers create applications on the provider's platform over the Internet. PaaS providers may use APIs, website portals or gateway software installed on the customer's computer. Force.com, (an outgrowth of Salesforce.com) and GoogleApps are examples of PaaS. Developers need to know that currently, there are not standards for interoperability or data portability in the cloud. Some providers will not allow software created by their customers to be moved off the provider's platform.





    In the software-as-a-service cloud model, the vendor supplies the hardware infrastructure, the software product and interacts with the user through a front-end portal. SaaS is a very broad market. Services can be anything from Web-based email to inventory control and database processing. Because the service provider hosts both the application and the data, the end user is free to use the service from anywhere.

    Till now when we work, we generally store our resources in our comp's hard drive. Similarly companies store their resources in there server. Now this is a costly affair, mainly from companies point-of-view. As they need to continuously update %26amp; update their servers. Also, when the data is too huge one cannot store in one server, but multiple servers. This increases cost further. Also, when you buy a server it's a sink cost.

    What is cloud computing? Ten points?

    Please explain with an example. Ten pointsWhat is cloud computing? Ten points?
    Cloud computing is a simple way to describe network storage routines. The internet is a transport for data ( posts, answers, web pages, financial data, information, advertisements, etc ).



    Sheer Opinion: For some time, people ( generally not computer savvy; yet financially.. ) were confused about describing the relationship between data and the internet, and how to capitalize on it in some way. This is were the term cloud became the buzz word for this relationship. They needed a buzz word so they could sell it to other not so puter savvy people.



    Data is stored on a computer-%26gt; which runs a web server/s-%26gt;which runs a data storage software ( SQL database, XML database, Flat file database, or some kind of datastore )-%26gt; on the computers filesystem-%26gt;which is on the computer's hard disk.



    The idea is that in most cases hosting the web does not require 80 gigs of hard disk space, maybe 1gig for an average/medium site with 10k users whose data is stored on the machine.



    The idea is to get users to buy space, save electricity, save hardware costs, save on maintenance, get improved performance - the computers being used are usually 10x more powerful than one you might get at best buy; yet that power is shared amoung other users who may want to buy space. When you have more then 10 servers, you will start to see the huge benefit. Since its not really important where the data is stored or lives, one may abstract the idea of the data living in the " cloud ". It could have been in the " volcano/ desert/ "; yet ideas in computing are abstracted to layers so what could be a higher layer than a cloud, plus it sounds cool.



    A perfect example is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), the first google hit that came up was " Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing ... "



    While these ideas are loosly based, it should give you enough information to get the gist of why one might need it and why the term was coined, since it was re-termed to be a solution to problem.

    Cloud computing will be the next big thing for IT. What is it? Its simply the ability to access the internet and download anything you need (ie... Word Doc, game, mp3, video, etc...) You wont necessarily need a local computer to get what it is you need. You simply will need a wifi device, connect to the Internet and get whatever it is you want. The "cloud" simply means there will be a network you connect to over the Internet that will provide your resource. This means that data centers will be getting MUCH larger and that IT staffs will be getting smaller.What is Cloud Computing?
    A simple answer is that all the software and storage you need will be out on the internet and not necessarily on your personal computer but you'll have access to all of it.

    Definition: Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like electricity.





    Basically, instead of something being processed on your computer, you can go to a website or web application that handles all the processing for you. The processing power is increased and the speed at which your request can be completed is much faster. Cloud computing also includes online storage and backup services, web services (ups shipping, for example) and many many more applications.



    The cloud is basically just a marketing term that has surfaced and can be used interchangeably with internet (ex: Internet Computing)



    In networking, large external networks (for example, the internet) can and have been represented by a cloud-like icon in diagrams for many many years before the term 'cloud computing' became popular.





    Simply put, cloud computing just means some server somewhere on the internet is processing information for you, and not on your computer.What is cloud computing?
    I found a few pages that describe CC, check them out (link below). I don't know how you can have it more detailed than wikipedia tough.

    What is cloud computing?

    The term was adopted from the use of cloud symbols to represent the internet in diagrams and charts. This can be availed online where customers can get storage services, virtual servers, applications and so much more.What is cloud computing?
    Cloud is a term to mean Internet, so internet computing.

    PCs wont really be computers anymore, more like terminals. When you turn it on, you are prompted for a password and username. When you log in, everything is stored on a central server owned by Google or whoever.
    Data will be safer this way, less prone to failure, theft and you will be able to access your information from any computer in the world. Its sort of a difficult concept but it goes back to the mainframe days. Its a similar concept. You will also have processors and video managers over the cloud, if you need more memory, buy more from Google and it goes wherever you go.

    EDIT: Cloud computing will be cheaper than you think, or should I say you save more money. PCs will just be simple terminals, your paying for a screen, keyboard, mouse and network card. No processors or memory or anything like that. They will be cheap.What is cloud computing?
    Cloud computing is where all of your files and software is stored on a remote server. You access all of your information through an internet connection. Think email. When you have an email account, you access it through the web, yet all your information is stored with that email provider, on THEIR servers and not yours.

    To me, it is another way to get money out of my pocket.

    I PAY to have my computer files stored in unknown computers at unknown locations.

    What happen to MY hard drive and/or a backup drive on my desk?

    NOW I have to be part of the "in" crowd and pay to use 'Cloud.'.
    Cloud computing is when all of your files are stored on a "cloud" (bunch of servers) instead of your actually hard drive

    See we use diff. open source programs now a days like microsoft office,photoshop etc.. To use this we need a specified computer and we have 2 pay for its use..but in cloud computing every software will be placed in respective server and we can use it without any charges..This technology is knwn as cloud comp..Hope dis helps u!What is cloud computing in simple term?
    Cloud computing is when storage or calculations are done by one or more of a large group of computers spread out over the Internet without the user having to select what work is done by what computer. If you store a file "in the cloud" that means you just ask the file to be stored and some computer somewhere stores it for you and then you can retrieve the file "from the cloud" without having to figure out which computer is storing it.What is cloud computing in simple term?
    cloud computing means u can acces internet without using data card and modem

    Cloud Computing: what is it?

    Hi I'm new to the whole Cloud thing but I think I have the basic idea of it.

    You Pay a Provider a fee and then they provide you with applications that they have on their servers. So your computer will have hardly anthing on the Hard Drive at all.

    Is that right?Cloud Computing: what is it?
    it stores all of the data and in your case also handles the running of the actually program so you could say run a super resource hungry program like photoshop on a really weak netbook as long as you have a good internet connection.Cloud Computing: what is it?
    Basically yes that's probably the easiest way of putting it.

    What would you like to ask?What is the role of Cloud computing in web 3.0?

    and in web 2.0?What would you like to ask?What is the role of Cloud computing in web 3.0?
    Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 are merely service marks obtained by the O'Reilly publishing group



    I believe they applied for up to 5.0 at the very least, and that was years ago





    Cloud computing is a 10 year old buzz word for parallel computing and distributed computing, and it's just starting to get mainstream attention/understanding



    These are all old technologies. The ability to create asynchronous/dynamic/AJAX style ("web 2.0") websites existed long before the buzz word



    The question you should ask yourself is how to take it further.



    For example, clouds distribute your information across a large network - this is great for redundancy, but terrible for your personal security. I'm spearheading a project with the company I'm working for to write a "cloud-busting" cloud framework, that allows a company to maintain their own local database servers on top of our own. That means that if god forbid our servers went down, or the client's internet connection went down, then the client would still have access to their data.





    Look for your own "next big things" and don't follow the crowd, because as long as you do, you will be one in a million instead of one amongst millions.

    Is there a cloud computing operating system?

    I like the idea of the Palm Pre's cloud computing. Is there an operating system that performs similar, shall I say, "miracles" as the Palm Pre's OS? Naturally it would be possible, it's just a matter of finding the correct one. And yes, I'm well aware that I'll be looking at Linux distro for what I'm seeking... I just don't know which one (however, I know Ubuntu is not it).Is there a cloud computing operating system?
    Google Chrome OS coming out around OctoberIs there a cloud computing operating system?
    Actually no, since that is a application not an OS on that Palm.

    What type of wirelss connection is used in "Cloud Computing"? Is it wi-fi for computers and 3G/4G for phones?

    Also, is it likely the companies like Verizon and AT%26amp;T will soon, if not already, provide wireless connection service for "Cloud Computing" for Apple iPads and such?

    The answer I'm really looking for is if its wi-fi or 3G/4G connection used in "Cloud Computing". And if it is either wi-fi or 3G/4G connections used in "Cloud Computing", what companies are creating the hardware/software and providing the services needed to make the connection from the "Cloud" server to my PC at home.What type of wirelss connection is used in "Cloud Computing"? Is it wi-fi for computers and 3G/4G for phones?
    Traditionally if you had an application used by several users you would have a little data centre in which you would have some server computers. If you grow big you end up with a very large data centre and probably data centres all over the world.



    Cloud computing is the notion that rather than running the application on your own hardware, you run the application on someone else's computer. To your clients it should make no difference to them, they just see a web page as they always did or would have done.



    So questions about wifi and 3G connections make no sense; provided you have some kind of internet connection, you can connect to the cloud.



    Some of the big players in cloud computing are Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

    Your opinion on Cloud and Mobile Computing?

    Hey, I got given task by my teacher to write an essay on mobile and cloud computing and at the end compare the views of other peoples and mine. I just finished most of the essay just the comparison of views missing. Would really appreciate it.

    This is the last question i have to answer:

    "Are either or both of these technologies massively over-hyped or do they hold promise for the future? (done that) What does the world wide computing community say ? (thats what i need help with) What do you say ?(Planning to compare it to what you say)" Yes I know they pretty much planned the essay for us... but anyway! thanks to those who will help %26lt;3Your opinion on Cloud and Mobile Computing?
    I wouldn't trust it as long as my ****points to the ground. I keep everything on my external hard drive for safe measure. Sooner or later it's going to be hacked like Sony.Your opinion on Cloud and Mobile Computing?
    It's fine as long as it gives you freedom of having your data wherever you are .



    Problem is, what happens if you try access your data on a sunny day? =)



    I would always prefer too keep a backup of my information offline on an HDD for example.Your opinion on Cloud and Mobile Computing?
    over-hyped. But then, I thought the pc would be a fad, so probably best not to listen to me.

  • What is the Difference between Private cloud n SAAS in cloud computing?

    when i searched on Topic cloud computing i got two kinds of answer for the "Types Of Cloud Computing" :--%26gt;1st info is telling that there are three types such as ---%26gt;1)Private cloud 2)Public cloud,n3) Hybrid cloud n

    2nd info is telling that there are 3 types such as 1)Infrastructure as a Service(IAAS) 2) Platform as a Service(PAAS) 3)Software as a Service (SAAS) now i'm getting confuse which 1 is correct can any1 tell me Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I really want quick ANSWER?What is the Difference between Private cloud n SAAS in cloud computing?
    Both are actually correct, just with different interpretations of the phrase "types of clouds".



    IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS are essentially descriptions of what types of services you can use. Public, Private, and Hybrid are how those services are delivered.



    You can also think of IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS as three levels of cloud computing, and each level can be public, private, or a hybrid.



    IAAS is the idea of providing systems (like Amazon EC2) that live in the cloud--in effect, you don't care where the system lives, only that it has a certain amount of processing capabilities, a certain amount of memory, and a certain amount of storage.



    PAAS is the idea of providing an execution environment (like Google's App Engine), where your application runs.



    SAAS is an actual application (like Google Docs) that runs on a PAAS (like Google's App Engine).



    A public cloud can be accessed by anyone (it's available to the wider internet). In other words, this is what you have when you pay Amazon to host your virtual servers in the cloud.



    A private cloud would be a method used by data centers to manage their systems, where they control the hardware, management software, and applications.



    A hybrid is a mixture of public and private (maybe you own the hardware, and pay someone else to use their software).



    Hope this helps!

    Can anybody describe what is cloud computing?

    There is a good article/information

    on Cloud Computing at



    How Stuff Works





    http://communication.howstuffworks.com/c鈥?/a>Can anybody describe what is cloud computing?
    It is a nice question. After reading your question I checked web and got answer.



    (Refer link one given below)

    Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet.[1][2] Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the "cloud" that supports them.[3]



    The concept generally incorporates combinations of the following:



    infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

    platform as a service (PaaS)

    software as a service (SaaS)

    Other recent (ca. 2007鈥?9)[4][5] technologies that rely on the Internet to satisfy the computing needs of users. Cloud computing services often provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.

    The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals.[6]



    The first academic use of this term appears to be by Prof. Ramnath K. Chellappa (currently at Goizueta Business School, Emory University) who originally defined it as a computing paradigm where the boundaries of computing will be determined by economic rationale rather than technical limits.[7]

    What is cloud computing?

    someone mentioned it today to me. isn't that just when you access other peoples computers to get info, music etc.?What is cloud computing?
    Cloud computing is a buzzword that is all the rage today, and is all about an old idea trying to find a new life



    In the old, old days of computers, processors were very large, and very expensive. In order to make practical use of them, "dumb" terminals were connected to central mainframes and numerous users connected to and used applications that were stored and run on the mainframe.

    Then along came the PC and everyone ran their own programs on their desktops and laptops. Communication networks just passed data between computers, to reduce the traffic loading. There was not enough capacity in the networks to allow graphics data fo be sent over the system.

    Now we have the Internet, and people are trying to sell us on the old model again.

    Have the applications and processing power on remote machines, accessed over the web, and just access these from your low powered (and cheaper) "cloud machines"



    The advantages:

    Someone else worries about patches and keeping apps up to date

    You can access very expensive programs for a small fee

    Your data is on the web, so if your box dies, you have not lost a thing



    Disadvantages

    You are going to pay for access to the apps you want. Even if you don't use them often, you will still be paying a monthly fee

    If the web is down, or you don't have access, you are DIW (Dead in the Water)

    Some provider decides what apps are available. (Oh - we just canceled your favorite? Gee - we are sorry)

    Are you going to trust your provider with all your data? I sure won't

    If your provider goes bankrupt - what happens?



    At least that is the picture some people (Microsoft) is pushing on it's commercials lately



    At a corporate level, cloud computing is something entirely different.

    Many companies spend large amounts of money maintaining data centers that are often under utilized. But they have to overbuild, because it takes to long to add capacity if the high end estimates turn out to be true.

    Everyone knows they usually do not come true, but no one can take a chance.

    Companies like Amazon and IBM rent computing power over the web. You can purchase storage space and computing power on the fly, and deploy virtual machines as needed to meet your computing requirements

    Instead of taking months to buy and install hardware, you can have new servers up and running in hours.

    Other versions of this happen when large companies set up their own internal cloud, which they then configure as needed.



    So cloud computing is different things to different people. But for a lot of people, it's just a buzzword that they use to impress someone elseWhat is cloud computing?
    The answer basically is yes, it is when you access another computer outside your network. It used to be called co-locating. Cloud is the new catch-phrase. My company recently put all of our internal stuff on a file service website. We can log into it and download time sheets, and expense reports. That is basic cloud computing. Google is going to take that to the next level soon with their chromium operating system.What is cloud computing?
    No, that's file-sharing you're thinking of.



    Cloud computing is where everything is done out on the internet, rather than installing applications on your pc and creating/saving documents to your hard drive.



    Out on the internet (The Cloud), you'd use, say, Google App's to create your work...nothing to install, just access it over the web. Then save your files to your online storage area.



    In a nutshell.



    Hope it helps.

    What is Cloud Computing? Layperson giving 10 points?

    I am from literature background with basic understanding of the Net and a few of the office software. I do not know if an application software and operating software are two different things or one.

    Here are a few of my questions, please explain just the basic idea,



    Can it be installed on a personal comp? Most forums talk about companies so...



    If it works on a common platform (platform meaning not the way programmers understands it but a layperson, since they say it works on a common network) how will this affect the security?



    In the current state of affairs, if my computer is disconnected from the internet, i can still keep my work on, on a word or excel sheet; since cloud computing is entirely web-based, what will happen to my work, if the cloud comp gets disconnected?What is Cloud Computing? Layperson giving 10 points?
    Cloud computing is using internet connectivity to access computing services not present locally. An example of this would be Dropbox, or Google Docs. In a sense, Steam would also be an example of cloud computing, as would Facebook and other social media.



    Cloud computing would ordinarily not be installed per se on a personal computer, but a client can be installed on a personal computer to gain access to cloud computing.



    Security is an issue, as is data lock-in. There's no layperson explanation available there - it would concern such things as cryptography (both symmetric and asymmetric) and various cryptographic attacks.



    If a computer using a cloud based service gets disconnected, there are two ways this can be handled. Either the computer starts buffering data (in order to transfer them once connectivity is restored - Dropbox does this for instance), or the computer shuts down the service (because connectivity is interrupted - Facebook does this).



    Cloud computing isn't necessarily _web based_ per se, it is actually based on _internet connectivity_. Two different things, though the difference is usually too subtle for a layperson to discern, so I won't go into detail there.What is Cloud Computing? Layperson giving 10 points?
    First understand the "cloud" has been around for a very long time.

    It is the "internet" as a Switched network as opposed to a point to point network. Which simply mean the data goes out to the public domain of carriers and we do not care or track how it gets to the finial end point. The public domain carriers take care of all of the switching needed.



    Cloud computing is just using the same idea and hooking up many servers from the same or different companies to the internet and letting the servers instruct the request for information to know where to go pick up the data they request. You do not need to know where the servers reside for company www.xxx.com, it is all transparent in the background. It is switched automatically as the requests for data come in.



    It is NOT PC platform regulated it is internet protocol regulated. Generally TCP/IP over a switching network protocol. Security is a problem and can not be simplified in laypersons terms, other than to say, there are many points of entry , so many point it can be breached, still there are standard encryption that are used to protect all data.



    If you disconnect from the cloud the work is save at the point you last save the data, just as it would be with a local server.

    What is cloud computing?

    %26amp; has it something to do with current trends in IT?What is cloud computing?
    In simple terms, most of your applications, documents, and general computing occurs on the PC that you are using. Cloud computing is the trend to move more and more of those functions "into the cloud" meaning on the internet.



    As a practical example, most web mail is "cloud" mail... you go online to access, view, manipulate, and send emails (as opposed to a local client such as Thunderbird or Outlook). Google took it a step further by popularizing other applications in Google Docs, Calendar, Sheets, etc. Although the Google examples work through a browser, it can be implemented like a traditional icon-launched application.What is cloud computing?
    Hi,



    Yes it is a fairly new trend.



    Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet.[1][2]



    The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents.[3] Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online which are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on servers.

  • What is cloud computing and who is using it?

    In cloud computing, your files are not primarily stored or edited on your computer's hard drive but on a large, centralized supercomputer or network.





    Today, we already see some components of Cloud Computing applied, but we have not yet come to its full realization. In real cloud computing, the end user (you) accesses his or her files using computers that are more streamlined but less sophisticated than today's typical machines.





    This means your actual physical computer will be cheaper and less powerful, but more streamlined with regards to functioning within the network. Instead of spending on powerful computer systems, the trend of cloud computers means you will be spending on a "virtual hard drive", one that is online and no longer physical.





    One of the most anticipated Cloud Computer Networks is the one between Google and Apple. Yes, together!

    what are the benefits and challenges that are being derived from adopting cloud computing??



    How it will change the way we work.Benefits of cloud computing?
    Cloud computing comes into play when you think about what IT always needs - a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software.



    The virtualized desktop is unlike a physical machine. It allows users to connect to the desktop from a remote desktop client to access all of the programs, applications, processes, and data. Thus allowing users to access their desktops on any device like your personal computer, laptop or smartphone.Benefits of cloud computing?
    Cloud computing is basically using somebody else resource through internet. So, the major advantage of cloud computing is cut in cost through low maintenance of hardware %26amp; software.Also, the presence of parallel computing the processing will be fast. So, I'll get far better reliable, fast IT products at a very low cost.

    Will the IT Department become obsolete by Cloud Computing and the theoretical "Autonomic Computing"?

    After doing a bit of research from some google searches, it seems that Cloud Computing will be the next big thing in the world of technology. Where you no longer need a big hard drive to store your information, because it will be in servers, most probably half-way across the world from where you are. Cloud Computing seems very nice, and actually, I agree that it'd be a very good advance in technology, but only for the consumers. From also what I've learned from brief research on Cloud Computing, it will cut the needs for IT's. Now, I plan on becoming an IT when I get older, but seeing employment of ITs being cut because of new technology which corrects itself if it finds errors, and less need for hardware and software installation since the server would do it for you... What would happen to all of the people taking training to become ITs like I plan to do? Also, the Autonomic Computing, which is a scary concept in itself for people seeking employment, it would manage itself! No need for ITs to manage and fix errors because it will do it itself. After seeing a few "Robot-dominates-mankind" based movies, I am also worried about an AI having complete control over majority of information in the world if Cloud Computing becomes very, very popular.Will the IT Department become obsolete by Cloud Computing and the theoretical "Autonomic Computing"?
    Cloud Computing is just a buzz word. You think we haven't been here before? Back in the day companies had a mainframe, and everyone connected to it from "dumb" terminals that were essentially just typewriters. All the computing was done on the mainframe, or "the cloud" as we would call it today.



    Autonomic Computing is just a pipe dream. Computers are not autonomous and that is a very long way off.



    Who do you think manages the servers that run the "cloud"? People do. All the computers are still there, just in data centres rather than in homes. Someone still has to manage them.



    Personally I think Cloud Computing is a crock. You have no control over your data, you have to fully trust the company who is managing it on your behalf. And that's fine, until they make a huge mistake and delete all your data or send it to criminals. Then what are you going to do?Will the IT Department become obsolete by Cloud Computing and the theoretical "Autonomic Computing"?
    While cloud computing appears to be the wave of the future, I seriously doubt that organizations or companies with seriously confidential information (FBI, IRS, etc) would entirely entrust information to a cloud server. There will still be a need for IT departments anyways as they would still be reponsible for maintaining in-house programs/development and applications as well as user support.Will the IT Department become obsolete by Cloud Computing and the theoretical "Autonomic Computing"?
    I would have to disagree with most who say this. I have been in IT for 15 years now and there is also talks in my company that IT will be obsolete. So, every time I take a vacation, things go into total chaos, so I know that my department of some 110 people depend on me, the sole IT guy. Now, we are still a small organization, but we did get bought out by a bigger organization recently who's plan is to implement cloud computing but that will not happen for another 5 years at least. Don't forget, the biggest problem with this concept is that your company data will reside on some servers across the continent and you are never quite sure if someone else will have access to it who is not supposed to.

    The other reality is that there are so many branches of IT, and many that will still be managed even in cloud computing. If I were you, I would concentrate on IT security, because any way you look at it, you will always need these experts.

    My best advice I can give you is to do what you like and enjoy. You may graduate in IT and discover that your quick thinking and clear mind works well in other fields as well. Don't live in fear. None of this is going to happen over night and you will have ample time to blend in to what ever streams float your way and beyond.
