CLOUD TECHNOLOGY (Part 1)
Cloud technology allows us to
access and use other computers over the internet.
Cloud Technology lets us use applications on operating systems on other computers.
We access these computers (servers) using the
internet. We log in to a website and use the applications.They open-up on our
display even though they're on another computer.
We can create, save and store
files (Cloud Storage) on these other computers just as if we were saving the files on our
own computer.
This technology is designed to
resolve some of the problems users experience with computers.
When hardware, operating systems
and applications are configured together, and something unexpected happens to
one component - it can negatively effect other components.
For example, if your operating
system is infected by a virus, or there is a memory failure, or if a part
breaks, it has the same effects - you can't effectively use your computer.
However, if your operating
system, applications and computer are separated from each other - then they're not dependent on each other.
This is what cloud technology
does - it separates the components.
It allows us access to servers
(hardware) and operating systems that are redundant.
In other words, clouds are
organized into a cluster of multiple servers and operating systems connected
together as a network.
