Smart And Significant Strategies Of Cloud
Computing
The idea of cloud computing is very simple, but due to common misuse
of the term, many people misunderstand what it is and Many people
believe that cloud computing is used to store your files on a cloud
computer that is
accessible through the
internet, This is very similar
to backing up your
computer on an external
hard drive, except that
you can access your
files from anywhere.
A simple approach to cloud
computing:
On a simple note, cloud
computing is using a cluster of
resources that may or may not be
local to your IT infrastructure to perform IT functions on demand. Think
of it the other way round – in the past, many companies had dedicated
servers that performed certain functions, such as financial backend
processing to a project. Companies had to plan for peak usage,
redundancy, growth, etc. This usually meant that companies were
investing large amounts of money in IT infrastructure that could sit idle
for long periods of time.
Cloud computing provides resources by helping you with some of
these problems that exist not as a singularity, but as a pool, These
resources may or may not be owned by your company (some of the
biggest cloud resource providers right now are Amazon and
Microsoft), Instead of having a dedicated box or multiple servers,
when programs or other IT processes need resources, they simply
reach out to the “cloud” and request them.
Cloud computing has a huge advantage that it can offer to many cloud
users, Cloud computing also helps with redundancy and failover as you
are no longer dependent on a single machine, the cloud is allocating
resources from the wide variety of available resources that may be
located at multiple data centers around the world. One of its major well
known benefits is its scalability arrangement, Scalability is also
interchangeable with the word flexibility it is the ability of something to
widen or narrow down if necessary. Some wise consumer consider first
the flexibility and elasticity of certain products before purchasing it.
This is an act of being prudent and vigilant to make sure that you are
not wasting your
money and time.
Easy to be dealt:
With cloud computing you don’t have to keep worrying, whether your
servers are at the correct temperature and humidity or whether they
will get stolen from your office, Most cloud
computing providers have very secure
facilities that have redundant internet and
power and they have professionals
monitoring your systems 24/7 and some
even offer to transfer your system for free.
After making arrangements with a company, they will simply charge
you a monthly cloud storage fee and you’re good to go.
Cloud computing is very similar to utility computing where the
resources, softwares, information and other demanded devices are
shared and it works on a pay-by-use basis that involves delivering
hosted services over the Internet. It concentrates on extending IT's
existing capabilities without the
software or hardware been
installed.
Cloud computing is a technology
that makes use of Internet and
central remote servers to maintain and process data and applications.
The most common example of the application of cloud computing is
Yahoo mail or Gmail. For accessing it
you just need to have an Internet
connection and a web browser to run
the Internet. The mail software is stored
on the server side and you needn’t
worry how your mails are stored or how
it’s sent.
The major benefit of cloud computing is that it provides the
optimization concept where the cost the company's capital
expenditure is reduced.
As the cloud continues to grow in popularity, we will no doubt see more
businesses beginning to take advantage of its capabilities. You
probably are already using some cloud functionality, and may even
know it. Web mail providers such as Yahoo, Microsoft Live and Gmail,
and photo sharing services like Flickr all use some cloud functionality.
The cloud is everywhere - just be careful to watch for occasional
thunderstorms!
