CLOUD TECHNOLOGY (Part 2)

CLOUD TECHNOLOGY (Part 2)

Each server provides the same applications as the other, and each server has the same (duplicate) files as the other.

If something happens to one server, or operating system, then our access is automatically migrated (transferred) to another server in the network, which has a duplicate copy of our files and applications.

In this way, we always retain access to our files and applications by simply logging into our account. 

Many of the accounts you access are operated with cloud technology. For example, your email.

If your email service experiences a power failure or some other failure, it won't shut down but instead transfers your access to another server which is an exact copy of everything you need and use.

This redirection to duplicate servers is also used to provide faster service. Cloud technology makes computing resources scalable and abundant.

It allows for faster, more secure, reliable, efficient usage - and is an alternative to purchasing and upgrading hardware, systems and applications.

If a server is too busy (slow) or another server is closer to your location - then your access will be transferred to that server using cloud technology.

With this technology you can also install another operating system on your current operating system. It opens up like an application. For example, a Mac user could have a windows operating system to use Office Suite or PhotoShop on their computer.

This technology is a rapidly evolving concept. It presupposes the future of computing as simple display devices with internet access to clouds. It offers a faster, more secure, reliable, efficient usage - and is fast becoming an alternative to purchasing and upgrading hardware, systems and applications.

  Analysts predict that by 2014 the latest technology inventions related to cloud computing will significantly influence how we use our computers.

Cloud computing is where tasks and file storage on your computer are performed and stored elsewhere.

By using an internet connection you can connect to a service that has the architecture, infrastructure and software to manage any task or storage requirement at less cost.

The advantages of cloud computing is that it eliminates the difficulty and expense of maintaining, upgrading and scaling your own computer hardware and software while increasing efficiency, speed and resources.
