Cloud Computing Clarified

"If you can not explain simply, you do not understand well enough." - Albert EinsteinThe methods we use to communicate and manage information to develop and evolve - that often exceed our level of understanding, what are they? - Or, how and why they work? Cloud computing seems to fall into this category and it is not clear, but many - not good enough for us to convince them to "transfer" functions used to drive with confidence, understanding and are more or less tangible for us. Most want to know and understand its purpose and benefits. Take note of the tech-savvy readers, please, with my own language, as we have clearly the minority here.
Because it presents itself as an innovative alternative to traditional methods, a small machine / application-based local access to day programs and functions that becomes physically installed the software you rely on our PC? There is a shift in how applications and services are provided and accessible in comparison to what we have been accustomed. Think of it as "Software as a Service" (SaaS), as is known - unlike the software used to download and install the contrary, in other words, to provide all our stuff out there. - Internet -. instead of here, on our machines in the cloud is another word for all your advice and your location and management.
People tend to interpret the cloud to mean many different things - and what is really many different things, as it offers many different solutions for different problems. In short, the cloud is as a server that supports your business on the internet e-mail, and online. Yes, it is a modified version of a data center in a safe place, with bathroom, air conditioning. We can begin to respect them and are familiar with him because "the cloud" is here to stay, we are told. Its potential is mentioned in this article on basic definitions and applications.
"He tied the concept of cloud computing, based on the changes for enterprises and service providers in-house more foreigners are portable security, physical security, virtual, sharing an isolated incident," said Don Norbeck, director SunGard's product strategy.
Cloud computing is a complete and flexible platform, all the properties that we normally do and use every day: e-mail, media, social networks, storage of materials / resources, data, software and programs, including Internet security, and operating systems, including everything - all completely automated and accessible through "The Cloud" the supplier of choice (or browser). It 'a necessary response to the economy unpredictable and the need to reduce the costs of personnel and material resources that require manual control develops.
The cloud is cheaper, faster, easier (easier) more efficient use of resources and the performance and functionality. There is little or no installation, less dependence on third parties who have not, as has been fully integrated and configured on a large scale, strategic facilities standardized and centralized servers. On the other hand, it represents a natural evolution of technological innovation with the growing popularity of mobile devices in use.
Your e-mail account is a classic example of how cloud computing. It can handle an unlimited number of users, accounts, tools, standards of operation, etc. .. all integrated pre-configured and managed through automation - and little or no cost.
In addition, there are versions of internal, external and hybrid cloud. The cloud refers to an internal home or place of clouds, and devices in which data is stored locally. The outer cloud refers to all functions and virtual applications hosted on external servers (clouds). And a hybrid between the confused notion of an internal cloud is handled internally - but there are external in the cloud. Clear as mud, huh.
The cloud looks very attractive. But intrigue creates a lot of skepticism when it was still very new and unknown. There are many questions and concerns about safety, off-site management and control to stakeholders. Who is responsible for maintaining the functionality and the presumed greater safety? Or simply give you access to our intellectual property entrusted to the cloud? It is to redefine our understanding of the term "virtual".
Just as there are so many questions, there are many answers as the ability of the cloud and the potential has been developed and designed to meet all the needs that may need to accommodate a customer. The volumes of books and literature are high because people are increasingly consumed with business and developers to adapt and function in the new trend and to better understand innovation in how we manage our team environment.
Basically, this brings us back where we started. Cloud Computing is subject to interpretation, and applications are endless. And 'now that we can with the question, what can not be left behind? At least for now - perhaps the most precise way that is not defined. So now - the cloud of a patch server can handle more functions and more are typically used to manage them.
