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.
