Cloud Computing... A Revolution!!!

Cloud Computing... A Revolution!!!
Hi everyone,

I would like to bring in to your notice about the latest hot topic in the field of IT, which, many of you might have already known, the "Cloud Computing". Cloud computing is a generic term for anything that involves delivering some hosted services over the Internet. One of the examples of this is,'Google Docs'.

I would say that the Cloud Computing is a revolution as it facilitates every application in the 'cloud'. The major advantage of the latest development in IT is that users need not have their Desktops/Laptops with high processing capabilities, hard disk storage, latest upgrades to the hardware/software. In fact, user can perform any job in the Internet from hosted services. Of course, all they need is an Internet Connection.

The potential problems that users face with the traditional desktops is the exhaustion of Hard Disk Space, heavy load on Processor to perform several tasks. These can be significantly overcome by the Cloud Computing, as the entire applications can be performed in the 'cloud'. Moreover, the storage of data is also very well possible in the 'cloud'. This should imply the amount of the disk space saved for the user. Other important things about the advantage of the cloud includes the security of data. The traditional Hard Disks contain many GBs/TBs of data, but still suffer from the problem of crash. If the Hard Disk crashes, entire data will be lost. Instead, the entire data can be stored safely in the cloud, and one can access the stored information from anywhere across the web.

Cloud Computing not only supports data access from anywhere on the web, but also document compatibility. A document is common for everyone in the cloud, no matter what platform they have or what suite they have to have. A document can also be shared by many, perhaps a group of people for a collaborative work. Thus Cloud Computing has many advantages that one should feel while working.
This type of computing is offered by various giants of IT like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc. and is expected to revolutionize the concept of computing in the present arena, even though there are many concerns about implementing it globally.

Adobe Systems’ Products

Hi everyone,


I would like to bring to your notice some important issues regarding some of the Adobe Systems' Products, which I found very interesting when I attended a seminar today held by Adobe Systems. I knew a few new things from that, and would like to present here in my blog as I hope many may find them interesting and useful.


Firstly, Adobe Flash 10, the currently used version in the market, is known to be installed on around 95% or more of the systems integrated with internet by any means. What a great fact to be known?!!! This has been possible only because of the serious efforts put by the Adobe Systems in developing their products and updating that regularly in the internet. Even if anyone of has it not installed, Java Script code present in the Dynamic HTML page would ask for it, while trying to load any content, as many of us would have observed. This is the greatest deal of work from Adobe Systems that they are distributing it for free on every system in the Internet. In fact, the Adobe Flash supports many applications, makes applications interactive, easy to use, understand well.


Secondly, Adobe Systems has developed a new collection of technologies, called Adobe Flex, presently version 3, for the development and deployment of cross-platform Rich Internet Applications (RIA). The concept of RIA is new in a sense that the computational power of the client PCs is also used along with the servers' capability. RIA goes beyond page metaphor. RIA supports Rich data visualization, Real time data push and alerting, Rich data entry, Cinematic experience and Data flows to the user. Adobe Flex is like an SDK, which makes these RIAs possible with great ease and also enables the applications be easily developed. Basically there are two languages followed by the Adobe Flex applications, namely, MXML and Action Script, similar to the traditional HTML and Java Script. The Action Script is slightly different with respect to Java Script in the sense that Action Script is compiled rather than interpreted, it is 100% Object Oriented and a strongly typed language. As we have IDEs like Eclipse, NetBeans for traditional Java based applications' development, similarly there is an IDE developed by the Adobe Systems for developing Flex applications, called Flex Builder, which can work along with some other softwares like Flash CS4 Professional, Flash Catalyst, etc., and some other suites like Adobe Photoshop.


And many more……. like GUMBO, upcoming version of Flex Builder… I knew in that session.


I really enjoyed the session and I'm sure, everyone interested in new products can really enjoy the session. For your information, one can follow the links listed below to know more about Adobe Systems and its products.
