Interactive response systems and Voting tools

•These interactive response systems help teachers bring more collaboration and interactivity into the classroom. Because they are so easy to use, teachers can quickly incorporate them into their teaching to transform student learning and increase engagement.

Video Conferencing/ Video Conferencing/ TelepresenceTelepresence

Under video conferencing, Granteq offers two types:

1. Room based VC-Tandberg – Cisco-Life Size-Teliris Telepresence

And many others…2. Internet based VC

-VIDYO – Personal Telepresence

VIDYO – Personal TelepresenceVIDYO – Personal Telepresence VidyoConferencing delivers higher

quality expectations and greater deployment flexibility over converged IP networks.

It is the first VC solution designed to work like the Internet itself.

Its unique intellectual property and the advent of the VidyoRouter makes it the first solution designed specifically for the world of distributed computing.

VidyoConf. takes the HD experience from the headquarters room setting into the remote office, desktops, tablets, mobile phones – EVERYWHERE!

Just imagine – HD Video at your fingertips wherever you are.

VIDYO Enterprise ‘Cloud’VIDYO Enterprise ‘Cloud’

Vidyo is relentlessly focused on HD video conferencing technology that is dynamic and scalable without sacrificing quality.

Clearly a new model is needed for the expected growth of video conferencing in today’s web-powered, mobile and on-demand world.

There’s a growing need to manage bandwidth in a highly diverse and distributed environment, and Vidyo has the answer –

Cloud ComputingCloud Computing

• Cloud computing is an emerging computing technology that uses the internet and

central remote servers to maintain data and applications. It is the class of

computing where substantially IT related capabilities are provided across the

internet to various external customers and are charged on the basis of

consumption.

• Cloud computing providers deliver applications via the internet, which are

accessed from a Web browser, while the business software and data are stored on

servers at a remote location.

Cloud ServicesCloud ServicesThe cloud client is both hardware and software which is relying on cloud

computing to deliver the application to your computer, smart-phone, and web browser.

Applications-As-A-Service (AaaS) /Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) Leverages the Cloud in software architecture. Eliminates the need to install and run the application on the customer's

own computer.

Platform-As-A-Service (PaaS) Delivers a computing platform and/or solution stack as a service. Facilitates deployment of applications without the cost and complexity

of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers.

Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IaaS) The delivery of computer Infrastructure-As-Service, typically platform

virtualization. The servers in the data center are the computer hardware and/or

computer software products that are specifically designed for the delivery of cloud services.

Characteristics of ‘Cloud’ Characteristics of ‘Cloud’ Computing ServicesComputing Services

Self-Healing (In case of failure, there’s ALWAYS a backup –

multiple copies are updated regularly)

Multi-tenancy (Multiple tenants at the same instant of time –

sharing without each other’s knowledge – FACEBOOK! – No compromise of privacy and security of data)

Linearly Scalable (Break down workloads in pieces and

then service it)

Service-oriented (created out of other discrete services)

Virtualized (The applications are fully decoupled from the

underlying hardware – fully virtualized environment)

Flexible (Can be used to serve a variety of workload types – be it a

small consumer app or a very heavy loads of commercial application)

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network.

Public cloud is one based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet.

Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models.

Private cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.

UsesUses Access to information and

services anywhere. Free and pay-as-user needs. Companies with ease of

scalability. Processing and storage capacity

without installing machines locally.

Security?Security?The relative security of cloud computing services is a contentious issue which may

be delaying its adoption. Some argue that customer data is more secure when

managed internally, while others argue that cloud providers have a strong

incentive to maintain trust and as such employ a higher level of security.•Data in the hands of third-party: Companies and users relegate control of their data in the hands of others.•Lack of access to the source: The cloud will be littered with closed source applications and the user will be defenseless against them.•Dependence on internet computing in the cloud.

WINDOWS AZUREWINDOWS AZURE

Cloud computing concept introduced in .NET 4.0."Azure" is project name from Microsoft for Cloud Computing. Through Cloud computing Microsoft targets for platform independence in their applications. That is each web can communicate to any other servers directly.

AMAZONAMAZON Amazon played a key role in the development of

cloud computing by modernizing their data centers. Amazon Web Services is a pioneer in this field. Currently, it is also the largest public cloud provider.

VMWARE CLOUDVMWARE CLOUD

Virtualization is the essential catalyst for cloud computing. As the virtualization leader, VMware builds on this solid foundation with platforms and solutions to power your cloud infrastructure, build and run robust cloud applications, and supply end-user computing as a cloud-based service.

Microsoft solutions for private cloud are built on Windows Server2008 R2 Hyper-V and System Center. The Microsoft private cloud solution is a key part of approach to cloud computing.

ConclusionConclusion

Cloud computing is a better way to run a business. Instead of running your apps yourself, they run on a shared data center. When you use an application that runs in the cloud, you just log in, customize it, and start using it. That's the power of cloud computing.

Finally, cloud apps don't eat up your valuable IT resources. This lets you focus on deploying more apps, new projects, and innovation.
