Cloud Computing




What is Cloud Computing?


Cloud Computing is the concept of using computer networks including personal computers and mobile devices, to facilitate retrieving and storing information from anywhere at any time.


There so many uses of Cloud Computing. Some of them are listed below.
  • Create new apps and services
  • Store, back up and recover data
  • Host websites and blogs
  • Stream audio and video
  • Deliver software on demand
  • Analyse data for patterns and make predictions


Let's talk about three main types of Cloud Computing.

  1. IaaS   -  Infrastructure as a Service
  2. Paas   -  Platform as a Service
  3. SaaS  -  Software as a Service


Infrastructure as a Service [ IaaS ]

This provides a virtual environment of Servers to provide space to store data and software applications with the help of server computers and also to provide various resources through the use of large data centers established.

Eg :- Obtain the facilities of Server Space and Firewall through Cloud Computing even though you do not own them.


Platform as a Service [ Paas ]

This Platform provides necessary server environment for Software development. This gives facilities including Operating System, Programming Language Environment, Database and Web Server.

Eg :- Software can be developed in the cloud computer service even though you do not have installed operating system or compilers in your computer.


Software as a Service [ SaaS ]

This means that it provides the ability to use software installed in Cloud without installing them Software in the PC of the user. This helps us to reduce the cost and complexity of buying and managing hardware and secondary, developing software required for the main software for the user to use it.

Eg :- In Android Devices, Word Processing Software, Spreadsheet Packages & etc, can be used using only the web browser; without installing those packages in the device.




Advantages & Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

Advantages

  • Lower Software Cost
  • Processing Speed is High
  • Improved Performance
  • Fewer Maintenance Issue
  • Instant Software Updates
  • Ability to Scale Elastically
  • Makes Data Backup & Disaster Recovery

Disadvantages

  • Requires Constant Internet Connections
  • Doesn't Work Well in Low Speed Internet Connections
  • Chances for Hackers to Steal login Information and to Collect your Data in the Cloud.



Types of Cloud Deployments

  1. Public Cloud
  2. Private Cloud
  3. Hybrid Cloud


Public Cloud

Public Clouds are owned and operated by a Third-Party Cloud Service Provider. They deliver their Computing Resources like Servers and Storage over the Internet.


Microsoft Azure, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud [EC2], Google AppEngine are some examples for Public Cloud.

Private Cloud

A Private Cloud is a Cloud Computing Resource used by a Single Person or a Business/ Organisation.


Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid Clod means a combination of Public Cloud and Private Cloud. This combination allows to share data and information between them.

    What I love about cloud computing, especially cloud storage is the fact that it can easily be accessed from just any computer or phone anywhere.

    I am so old school and keep resisting the cloud. It requires me to always have a good internet connection, which I sometimes don't have. One day I will join this century and join the cloud!

    I never understood the cloud, you made it more clear. thanks. Great concept should have started to use it years ago. I have lost data so many times due to devices, and it all could have been on the cloud.

    This post has made the cloud more understandable for me. I need to use my cloud storage more

WiMAX Technology

There are many ways to access the Internet nowadays. Broadband, Wi-Fi & Dial-up are the most popular among them all. But still, there are at least one or two weaknesses of those connection types. Ex:-   Broadband – Very expensive Wi-Fi – Not accessible from everywhere. Need to be in the Wi-Fi hotspot area Dial-up – Speed is so low Therefore a new method to connect to the Internet was needed to be found excluding the weaknesses of the current methods. Some of the features expected from that new method are as follows. # Must be speed than the others # Must be accessible from anywhere; under any circumstance # Must not be expensive and able to plant it easily A new technology with all the above-mentioned features has been developed since 2001. By the time it has become much popular in the present as well. That technology is not anything else. It's the ‘ WiMAX Technology ' ( Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ). By today, to get a...

TransferJet Technology

'TransferJet Technology' is a wireless way of exchanging data and information in a speed matching the modern technology. TransferJet Con Sotiyam Organization can be mentioned as the founder of this TransferJet Technology. They announced about it in the very recent past, on the date of 8th of June 2017. Why TransferJet? This technology of exchanging data & information has been named as TransferJet in the manner of exposing the idea that it is able to exchange data & information in a similar speed of a jet. The main specification of this technology is also that speed and the way it exchanges data. It is totally different, the way how the devices with the TransferJet technology exchange data between each from the way how all the other wireless devices exchange data. But for the users, it is not a complicated activity to transfer data from one device to another using this technology. Data tranferation begins as soon as the devices with this...

InterPlanetary Internet

Image
In the present, the Internet is not just a facility that can be enjoyed on earth. With the development of technology, the Internet is no more restricted to fly far away from our earth. But actually, when the internet goes beyond our planet, it becomes an Internet connection between two or more planets. So that Internet connection must be compatible with the requirements which are needed to use the internet from a far distance from the earth. Also, when communicating with different planets there cannot be any data loss or any delay. ‘Delay Tolerant Network’ (DTN) is one of the above-described network connections. It is so much similar to the technology used in the Internet networks but used above the earth’s boundaries. Therefore, it is called the ‘InterPlanetary Internet’.  Internet on Earth vs. InterPlanetary Internet The Internet has been built by the controller computers and millions of custom/ normal user computers including the server com...

Prevention of Computer Crimes (Cyber Crimes) while enhancing the safety and conservation of the Personal Information regarding using the Internet is meant by 'Internet Security'. Internet Security is a part of the Computer Security which considers about the Network Security in a higher manner as it is connected with most of the applications such as the Operating System. Internet Safety, Web Safety; Online Safety also gives the same meaning of 'Internet Security'. Are we Safe On the Internet? (Internet Threats) The Internet is a useful network which offers us many services, where we can exchange so much of our information through this medium. Although we guess that it's one of the most secure & trusted ways to exchange our information and to do our work, the internet is not that much secured as much as we think. Sometimes we have to face many menaces knowingly or unknowingly. The use of a computer involves various threats. M...

Processor Technology - Microchips

Image
All the privileges of a computer mainly depend on a microchip which is called as a ‘Processor’. Simply it is a burnished Silicon plate where transistor circuits are arranged but comes with an amazing power. In the recent past, processors was not a much popular topic among people. But soon it became much popular with the improvement of the processors and because of the increasing competition among the processor manufacturing companies. There are only few processor manufacturing companies all around the world. ‘Intel’ and ‘AMD’ are the most popular out of them.    Although Intel stood much forward, with the new processor set introduced by the AMD, the situation has bit changed. This new processor of AMD Company was introduced in late February in 2017 and it was named as ‘Ryzen’. These Ryzen processors are in the competition with the new processor introduced by the Intel Company on 3 rd  of January 2017, which was named as ‘Kaby Lake’. It has been more com...
