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!!baby boy names 2011 dairy queen locations

What do you believe are the Security Impacts of using Cloud Computing?
I am a Student in my second year of studying BSc (Hons) Forensic Computing at University of Wales, Newport. As part of one of many assignments, I am reporting on 鈥楾he impact of Cloud Computing in relation to Information Security鈥?
As part of primary research, Id appreciate if anyone could give a contribution of their thoughts and views on the matter within the title and as follows:
鈥榃hat do you believe are the security impacts of using Cloud Computing?鈥?br>
Any constructive answers will be appreciated on the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.
Thank you for you time.
GabrielleWhat do you believe are the Security Impacts of using Cloud Computing?
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?
Well clouds are all above in the sky, the main impact is that the CIA will decide to brain wash everyone and rule the world.
RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!! AND QUIT UNI, UWN IS **** LOL
not me giving so company all my data --that is just plain nuts .. a 1 TB external hdd is to cheap and nothing is stored on my main drive
look cloud is good in theory . what happens if the go belly up or get hacked where does that leave the general public ..and i have to pay for that chance ---sorry
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.
