What is cloud computing?
What is cloud computing:
Cloud computing is a generic term. It has wider meaning attached to it. In science cloud computing are mini servers which enable all connected user to run a specific program or app or software at the same time. In this way, the client as well as server conditions stays as usual. In layman’s language, cloud computing is different from that of science and technological language. It is a common type of network related software running on same capability compatible hardware in different computers connected through the Internet with a different operating system and devices, runs through the virtual environment of different specialized apps in different devices be it smart phone of laptop replacements. In approach, virtual software from real hardware machines is transmitted to different real machines in the identical format. The distance between the real server and the consumer is acquired by virtualized-applications and with it both online and off line cloud computing begins to come to light. The middle path which is acquired by such virtual servers and applications does not take any space.
Real time cloud computing server:
As we know, in order to run the server, you need big physical space, people, and attendance as well as back up electricity and servers. Due to cloud computing such servers remain in cloud, which means the side of a simulated environment, which can be moved to a different environment or can be scaled down and up according to your requirements and convenience of situations. So, big servers are not inside of any such physical locations, arguably, they can be moved here and there just like a cloud in the sky with lot of convenience and this shows the name cloud as a result of this trait of virtual orientation of servers. There are three major immediate benefits of using cloud computing. It is economic as the physical server is out of question. It gives coherence and networking among employees of the same organization. If you are on Wi-Fi enabled whether direct or shared network, virtual server can touch real time speed.
It is converging entire infrastructure of information technology into one segment and makes shared computing easier and smarter. With cloud resource, the entire shared computing environment can be customized according to personal demand and need. It controls each and every computing structure and can detect and distribute up and down time of each segment. It can give administrative powers to some sections of shared resources as well as standard power to the rest. In a normal sensible server distributed network, the shared resources stays as shared forever and in order to change the status, the governmental seat arrangements needs to be interchanged.
How Google cloud server works in real time:
In order to understand it clearly, take a look at how Google server works for diverse continents. The Gmail service of Google, in North America works at peak time when the same server works at non peak time for Asian continent owing to time difference factors. So, there is no need for two separate servers in this case for these two continents, as the up time of both continents differs from one another and for this with cloud computing at its best, Google invoke the shared computing and users of both the continents are securely working their emails from the same server at different time zones.
Similarly, Google also employs its second cloud computing shared servers to Europe as well as South America, owing to differing time zones of both the continents. Google has maximized the use of computing resources of its servers as well as the use of electricity and rack place. With the advent of the modern concept of shared computing maximization of servers gives way to a perfect place for the advent of green and environment friendly computing. It is a moving away from the traditional form of organizational computing where you have to pay for annual maintenance contract as well as for wear and tears and other pilferages losses. With enlightened concept of shared computing business can utilize server resources during peak business hours and then during definite office hours servers can be turned off but all the data and essential information contents inside of it stays as usual without any distortions and loss.
Cloud computing reduces maintenance costs:
Information technology department of any business has to face a lot of changing demands from within and outside of organization, as analysts believe with fully structured use of cloud computing, processing of applications and other organizational matters gains a significant speed than the conventional form of in house local server system. Cloud computing reduces maintenance costs in huge proportions and it gives more time to workers to work on a nice and speedy server architecture. Cloud computing enabled IT infrastructure of business organization becomes a service platform. It is based on different capability hosted services such as “software as service”, “platform as service”, “hardware as service” and “everything-as-service”. In cloud computing term “as service” meant for cloud servers in a specific sphere of business architecture.
Organization opt for software as service and all the software are hosted in cloud, similarly in the case of application as service, important applications run on cloud storages, in some cases, organization prefer some specific department to be fully in cloud and some basic works needs to be done manually like checking and dispatching of circulars. In this way they opt for platform as cloud option. There are some organizations especially the e-commerce websites wants to deal with everything in a cloud and for their cloud serves as everything as a service. End users who are seating at the office can access these hosted services through specialized client software or with modern smart phones which have “push services” enabled with it or with some modern web browser with intranet.
On-access synchronization:
Here one example of “software as service”. Drop box the pioneer in cloud hosting service gives the user the facility of software as a service for free. The user can get more than 50 GB of free clouds hosting service facility of software through various clients. Here clients can range from desktop computer, laptop replacement, android smart phone devices with push notification switched on, or notebooks. It is a file hosting service and it gives users ability to upload through client software, on access synchronization of documents across all platforms connected to drop box client and client software. It gives the user a personalized cloud space from which the same account holders can access the information from different platforms such as computers, mobiles or a web browser. It gives software as service, due to its on-access-synchronization (always on) all the files is updated regularly across multiple devices.
It is a 'freemium' (free and premium) business model in which users are allowed to have a free space and free to use with premium users have more cloud-storages and more speed of upload and downloading of files. Now all of your images and videos as data center are converted into information technology as service partners. Drop box is restricting users to upload images via its web, but there is no restriction of uploading images via a desktop client. This shows that it wants the user to use it as a service enabled cloud device instead of application enabled cloud devices. Drop box introduces LAN sync, which is a new concept in cloud computing as a service. Files can be accessed in similar devices which are running with LAN, and synchronise across. The benefit of LAN synchronises is its speed with which it uploads and downloads the files and the preview of files while the device is in offline mode. It is a simplified overview of cloud computing which leads to the most comprehensive management capabilities.
LAN cloud:
These three resource matching (compute, hosting, network) can be automated, semi automated or manual. This it produces increase economic leverage due to parallel computing practices. The demand for resources is nearly curtailed down according to demand in order to allow more integrated value chain system among information technology enabled devices. With the introduction of LAN sync in Drop box as well as with Windows Sky drive, Samsung links can be integrated within it through specialized folder seating inside drop box or cloud-storages of sky drive. Then, Samsung Link goes through cloud retrieves information from there and accumulates at a unified LAN storage which is platform independent. It gives choice, flexibility and control to manage data online as well as offline. With the introduction of LAN sync cloud computing is now touching offline account activity. Thus, in this manner, an organization can create a private cloud, public cloud or LAN cloud to suit their job requirements.
Here, is an example, how LAN synchronization works brilliantly on a cloud based device storage service. Take a look an android smart phone from Samsung. User will get storage capacity of 50 GB of drop box storage once they install drop box on desktop or laptop replacement. Samsung has one native LAN application which is installed on its smart- phones. It cannot be un-installed from its setting. Samsung link gives you 35GB storage space. After starting “Samsung Link” which is LAN synchronization cloud applications for all Samsung products, first thing one has to do is to register storage with “Samsung-Link”. From right menu select “Register Storage”. The first one is “Drop Box” the on access file synchronizationn apps.
The second one is “Sky Drive”, the free storage space in cloud from none other than “Microsoft” and the third one is “SugarSync”. Now, you can have 35 GB of “Samsung Link” cloud storage plus 51 GB and counting of “Drop Box” storage and 2 GB of “Sky Drive” storage and in addition to it, you get 25 GB of “Google-Drive” storage. All these storages are free to use, and now you can save a whole lot of multimedia files in these cloud-storages.
Connecting Smartphone with Cloud-storage:
From register storage, “sign in” to the relevant account with “user name” and “password” and all the storage is registered at “Samsung Link”. In the “Device & Storage” menu of “Samsung Link” you can have “register devices” sub menu the mobiles as well as personal computer linked to “Samsung Link” is visible. In the “registered storage” menu you will have “Drop-Box” and “Sky Drive”. You can enable “Auto upload” for a non-stop cloud synchronization.
From “Google Drive” dash board, you will have every information available, with Google Drive for your personal computer you can synchronize everything that is in your computer with that of your “My Drive” inside internet and this can have a strong presence of your all data in cloud and all these data can be accessed from anywhere through apps, such as desktop client of Google-Drive. Documents synchronization with Google drive is always advisable with “Quick Office” app installed from “Google Play store” in yours android device, you can modify existing documents anywhere from your personal computer to your smart-phone. In this way, proper time management, and cost is shifted from capital to operating units.
Data centers and data mining in cloud:
With cloud computing at its best, better management of staff resources with exceptional service management to the core unit of organization. In this manner fresh business innovation practices are implemented with a high degree of customer as well as business organization practices. Pilferage costs will be minimized due to software and hardware maintenance has been controlled and managed by third party organisations. The investment you will make today with yours cloud infrastructure will reap its benefits in the future.
Investment with cloud computing and servers is one time duration, and with due course of time you will bear the cost of cloud server annually and accept this all further establishment costs as well as maintenance costs will not be there. The journey to cloud computing begins from implementation of remote cloud computing through intranet inside of an organization. The data centers are running through online as well as offline cloud services and are always available irrespective of peak or rush hours. This augments the basic functionality of an organization with speed of data distribution and always on access data update service which is run through a complete cloud in organization. In this way all the service, data compilation, costs and other offline activities are shifted to online and cloud a comprehensive service as well as data on managements all across the organization.
Private and public cloud:
All private cloud application management becomes cross platform with availability of edit and modify option all through your organization. It gives you power to migrate and extend application functionality to separate spheres of business organization. Because of cost of implementing data center decreases comprehensively, the business organization can without any such apprehension implement all those additional services and applications without thinking about rapid cost factor.
It reduces the risks in decision making attached with organization. This permits business organization to permit all its resources in full scale manner in order to present the differentiation of services and offers to consumers. Cloud computing virtualization also enables the organization to utilize a data center in maximum capacity. Offline in house data center within the organization would take floor space of over 40,000 square meters. On the other hand cloud-servers do not hold any such space. With in-house offline data center computing, the capacity utilization of the server is only two to three percentages. On the other hand, with cloud computing servers, the capacity utilization is more than 80 percentages of server capacity.
Cloud service can now be installed in-house or can be hired from cloud hosting companies. The private cloud hosting is hired from third party vendor’s costs according to honest use and CPU cycles. On the other hand in-house cloud computing and networked through Wi-Fi, enabled device can further reduce the cost of isolated cloud servers to 60 percentages. Slowly, the resources that are used within cloud computing have been turning into the category such as natural gas and petroleum products.
Apart from the cost advantage and disaster management within cloud computing resources, offering of a common platform to all data center users is a significant way forward. It reduces travel costs, internet-costs, telephone and fax costs and all the other forms of costs which can have humongous expenditure in case the business ventures deals with many clients and customers simultaneously. With the addition of universal application third parties can add values and add services and other related actions without any such delays. With this productivity rises and this led to more and more space for innovation and other forms of expressive business advantages.
Compatible with any operating system:
With the advent of cloud computing, all the data centers work irrespective of operating systems as the cloud servers can give access to any such operating system, be it smart phones, Windows, Macintosh or Linux variants. Cloud computing does not depend upon virtual machines internal operating systems.
It works on parallel processing of resources and equitable distribution of storage spaces and applications. It enables cross platform compatibility with parallel processing. Companies built large scale data warehousing and connect with diverse organizational modules in order to have a seamless implementation of the decision support system. All operational costs are pay as you go basis and do not depend upon payment per hour basis.
One such example is “Shazam” app for Apple devices. It is highly popular, this company garners crores but it does not have any such high end infrastructure and human resources. When you run any song with Apple device, this app will run in the background, detect your location, then hear the device song and upload to “Shazam” cloud-server. This application runs as a device in cloud based server with smart computing calculation and a strong and large music database running in cloud-server. The data base works only -when there is a query from the user to detection of the song and on other time it remains idle in the cloud-server. This reduces the cost factor. As with cloud database centers, the costs come with the number of CPU cycles and peak time use.
Software as service:
On the other hand, if “Shazam” operates within offline music data base server, then the entire cost of managing server as well as a large human resource would incur significant costs to it and this would have reduced the benefit factor in total. On the other hand this company runs its entire infrastructure, be it website, application hosting, data base management, server in the cloud. This reduces exponential cost of organization and augments the benefit factor to more proportional level. Recently, major sports channel Star Sports is offering its sponsored contents in cloud form so that the user can watch anywhere and anytime his sports favorites. In this way, it is now entering into smart phone and other devices which can cache the video streaming.
With the advent of smart phone devices, user is always using these services through various applications and this enables far more reach of audiences. In this way live TV channels over internet private no hardware except the laptops. The company only has to pay per bandwidth cost and otherwise it did not have to pay anything as such. Time and while it has been seen that corporate are struggling to manage data centers within their infrastructure as they are facing opposition from comparable companies, and in house personnel who might forge with the contents. According to some estimates 75 to 80 percentages of intellectual property breach owing to negligence of data center staffs.
Cloud computing price patterns:
Cloud computing price patterns depend upon two significant factors. One is peak-time and the other is reverse peak time. In peak time, the cost of CPU cycles is on the higher side than the posterior one. Some companies try to use off peak time and decrease the cost and increase the capacity to more than 50 percentages overall imputing more profits with lesser cloud server costs.
Suppose you have a small office and home office (SoHo) with 20 staff members and all the staff members will be connected through intranet or Wi Fi. You wish to have a small data center and want it to be connected to all staff members. If you set up in house data center, then it will incur heavy costs and probably more than what you will earn. If you want to install software on every computer, then it is stressful for you as they come with hefty costs and it will be paid annually. By installing the suite of software on each computer or alternatively purchasing the volume licensing of each software will have huge impact on your purse.
Now, you want a hefty workload shift and in addition to this, if you run in house offline data centers, the yearly maintenance contract, electricity bills and security worker payments will be higher on your net profits. Now, if you have opted for cloud computing, local computers do not need significant work load, they will work on either through browsers, or through some client software install on each system or through some application running inside of a specific operating system environments.
Authentication and encryption:
Networks of computers utilize data mining inside of clouds and thus reduce the load on an offline server, and enhance productivity owing to always on availability of data from servers inside a cloud. Remote machines owned by cloud server would always run all these computers and this creates the concept of cloud computing. It leads to shared and distributed computing. With innovative technology, even software and applications can run from cloud and mitigate extra costs that could have been incurred to the company if they happen to use high cost software or volume licensing software. One such service’s computing cloud illustration is that of your online email account. Most of the computer user do have email either from Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo Mail.
They used to access these mails from their computer, through Internet, though most of the data do not stay in their computer. Inbox is reachable through service related cloud computing. The server of service related cloud computing stays some secluded place and you access your inbox detail from your computer. The software and storage for your account do not stay inside your computer. The entire path of authentication of cloud server with your personal computer has been done with a high degree of encryption mechanisms.
Drawbacks:
On 12th of this month extreme supercyclone Phailin was predicted in coastal districts of Odisha and Andhra and expected intense to very heavy thunder showers with strong wind nearly 300 kilometers per hour is expected at the coastal districts. In reality, winds blew with a speed of 229 kilometers per hour along the coast and electricity supply abruptly for more than 40 hours and there are still pockets of city reeling under complete blackout. Suppose someone is running a company with cloud computing server.
Primary requirement of this is to have a reliable internet connectivity plus 24 hour electricity supply. Super cyclone is on, and one has distinguished pending tasks of meeting the target. For the next two to three days, there would not be any such work. If his factory happens to be at distant areas, then he has to wait for more days in order to attend a completely powered electricity supply. Even if he can arrange inverter or generator for manual electricity supply, still then, Internet connectivity depends upon mobile vendors, and in cyclone zone, even personal effort will not do any such well to him.
He has to wait for completely fully-powered internet connectivity. In the times of distresses, it has been seen that though the Internet connection is still available but it is not in full power and that can reduce the connectivity of cloud server to your organization. In these circumstances, the offline server is always handy to work on. As one can arrange proper electricity supply through alternative arrangements of electricity and then the manual self hosted server which is completely offline can work even in times of such distresses. These problems occurs in most cloud servers hosted somewhere, as in times of hurricane Catrina, many US firms have faced these problems and during these periods almost all the institutions which are run through these cloud servers including educational institutions which are gearing up for examination, are struggled to open cloud server due to downtime faced from internet service providers.
Fear of natural disasters:
For this diverse examination question papers have to be rewritten completely, and then reproduced to students and from that time there has been some serious discussion over the vitality of cloud server which depends upon internet connectivity and electricity. One more stressful situation also revealed about the possible distress arising out of such natural calamities is that in times of hurricane Katrina, some cloud servers are placed in the epicenter zones of hurricane as a result causing more than ten days of complete blackout from cloud server. This led to abruption of works of office automation centers which are placed in areas not affected by cyclone Katrina.
This raises two questions, as cloud server is meant for restoration of data for all times to come but still why there are such stoppages and abruptions in times of natural disasters. Internet connectivity depends upon numerous factors as developed countries like America and Japan have to face the brunt of down time in times of natural disasters such as hurricane and earthquakes respectively. This makes data-ingestion within cloud server and client server. After all this, there has been talk among geeks to improve cloud servicing and completely overall the performance and the basic technology in which it works so that it would work relentlessly even in times of such distresses.
Hybrid cloud computing:
Google being the pioneer of every Internet revolution since its inception is experimenting one such revolutionary method through which even office automation servers can work without any hitch if 24 hour electricity supplies are available. Even if the cloud computing server is down or, not working owing to above said reasons still Google is making some extra innovations so that client-server will start to work in offline mode. Google has introduced this concept in its groundbreaking mobile operating system Android. It is a smart operating system which works in multi thread push technology and with the introduction of its latest version Android Jelly bean, the most prominent part of it is making your mobile storage devices into a cloud storage device and with it the basic memory increases many folds.
It is one of the most advance technology where one can find grid computing in coalition with cloud computing in the environment of utility computing and the prime motive of this hybrid cloud computing is to give a perfect face of cloud where it can be accessible anywhere and in any situations. It is always true that a tag cloud and indexing are the backbone of cloud computing on the other hand, with the introduction of hybrid cloud computing, the basic concepts with which the cloud computing works are being changed upside down. In the basic cloud computing server all the data stored inside remote enterprise cloud server, and the client server which are located at some other places access these data whenever there are requirements.
Now, what Google has done to its mobile operating system, is to make it in cloud and the entire storage space, the space which is in built with smart phone is now runs into cloud and for this, yours phone is now turning into a super cloud server. So, now whenever you access Gmail for internet, yours smart phone connects to Google cloud application server of Gmail and then you can see your inbox, but now whenever there is internet connectivity, the Gmail apps from Google on yours Android smart phone, without yours knowledge connects to internet and search for any new mail in inbox, and a threads are created inside yours android Gmail apps and it runs within it, and in a way, when you are in offline still you can access your email in Gmail apps.
Server to server cloud computing:
Now, the question arises, most phones have limited inbuilt memory and how can such huge amount of data which inbox contains would fit into it. Here, is the simple answer. Google does not store the basic email in your inbox. It stores the thread which is almost negligible in size, just as an atom compared to a lofty mountain. Whenever you are offline, those threads work like a completely separate email and it shows your entire mail as if you are browsing the Internet there. This is the first step towards removing the complete dependence of the Internet in cloud computing. Not anyone server is fully dependent on the other and in this process the entire gamut of data synchronization and restoration works from time to time with proper synchronization of data from both servers.
The ensuing free option of completely unrestricted server to server data synchronization service is from Drop box. It is a file synchronization service which is now expandable up to multimedia elements.
Even from Android apps, you can view all the images, inside smart phone. Ultimately you will realize all the images are taking zero spaces in your device but is being shown inside of your phone. All these images are accessible while you are offline also, making it a nifty service where even in times of distress you can browse images without concern of yours persisting internet connectivity problems. This is the new beginning of a completely innovating and smart cloud computing where user’s device becomes part and parcel of cloud computing servers thus makes your data available in every sphere of your choice. This is a recent innovation and much more attractive happenings in the sphere of the server to server cloud computing will be seen in years to come.
Standard user account:
Windows 8 is the latest incarnation of operating system from Microsoft. Windows are considered to be the easiest to use and affordable operating system. It is popular, though some versions are more widespread than some other versions of Windows. With Windows 8 Microsoft introduces the administrator and standard account. This concept is from shared cloud server concept and Microsoft is trying hard to implement this in limited account settings. Here, the administrator account stores all information and user can edit, modify, modify and update data inside of it. It works as were the house of all relevant information which consists of data, songs, videos, notes and apps. Microsoft is advising users to use orthodox account instead of an administrator account.
There is some pertinent thought attached to it. When you are at offline, still the standard account of Windows 8 is able to access all the information.
For this he has to grant administrator status to that specific function and then the computer goes into cloud mode to access the restricted operation from the administrator account. It is a new and innovative solution from Microsoft where one cannot only access the data online as well as offline, but a strong sense of security mechanism is in place to secure your online data from the cropping eyes of offenders.
In demand, cloud computing is the delivering of on demand computing resources and services, with it comes the better management available resources. Applications and data centers stay at the Internet at a secluded smart server and from there every computing resource configured and controlled. It comes with pay as per user basis and for this; proper utilization of organizational finances comes into mind. It gives users self service access which is a must have IT enabled organizations. It is important to choose a trusted partner as cloud computing enterprise resources, which will help you to identify trusted partners, available resources and devise entry points. With the introduction of easy to use SAP technology, the entire complexity of data mining is greatly reduced with the introduction of ready to use cloud computing.
Benefits of cloud computing:
Most of complicated works are performed in the cloud and for this a rudimentary computing device with Internet capable hardware is the need for office. With cloud computing a complete automation of office works could be possible. It gives ample opportunity to build a paper-less office and complete office automation. Employee’s computer is with always on connectivity, and gives you ample opportunity to connect with them through android, iPad, net books, tablets. They can access data base from any device they hold and this work gains maximum speed and it gives satisfactory performances. Executives can track actual time where the documents are signed and can look at the actual performances and can observe and stop any such fraudulent activities before it is materialized.
Here is one such example, of cloud service implementation in a big hospital. Here, each health records of each patient are carefully tracked and it is updated with each patient’s visit there. Then, it is connected with physician’s computer. Each patient has a unique id number and they can remotely log in to this device to know about prescription and recommendation of doctors. Physicians can see the records of patients as well as medical bulletins and all the information are updated regularly in real time. In big hospital, certain critical patient has to consult more than one doctor, and doctors, log in to their account to see the progress report and other diagnostic report which are already in e-document format within cloud server. In this manner, all the doctors examine the report simultaneously before prescription of medicines. This creates coherent decision making in deciding the final prescription of patient. All the doctors carefully consult and observe previous as well as present prescriptions and diagnosis reports before making any such decisions.
Cloud computing is always on connectivity servers with on demand basis. Software as service with cloud computing gives way to a fraction of the price than the buying of volume licensing of software in the normal computing environment. With the advent of cloud computing company can remove these associate costs with ease. In normal offline data mining environment, an array of works needs to be done in order to remove the nodes of removed workers from offline in house data servers.
Huge reduction of associated costs:
Cloud computing gives companies abundant opportunities for the way computers to be preconceived. Computers are ready to be used with already installed requisite software. With cloud, computing companies are avoiding larger upfront costs of bearing company’s servers. An associated cost that is related to company’s requirements is reduced further. Here, associated cost is of adding additional hardware, memory and processors. With cloud computing up-gradation in hardware front come within minutes.
With each traditional server, you want to replace hardware in every four to five years in duration. Otherwise a hardware failure can cause a humongous amount of data and work time losses. In case of cloud server, time to time replacement of hardware is unwarranted. In traditional server environment, migrating to a new operating system takes huge cost bearing to company. With cloud server environment, updating to a latest version of operating system takes a fraction of the cost of traditional server environment. The software upgrade is smooth and it saves time and money for the company.
Single window system:
Cloud computing gives you space for centralization of all data in a single space. Data of branch offices, head offices, site offices are all synchronized into a single location and are accessible in multiple nodes of offices. With cloud computing data inside single window system administrator’s computer is automatically backed up to a remote location, thus saves your company from vital data losses in case serious hardware failure of district office computers. On the other hand, if your company goes with traditional server environment, automatic data backup is not there. When hard drive failure occurs, a huge amount of money is being spent in order to retrieve data from corrupted hard drives.
In traditional server environment, loss computer or server led to serious loss of proprietary and sensitive data to third parties. On the other hand, with cloud computing server, loss of a computer, does not hold any useful as in order to access data, the thief needs a user name and password. Even if it hacked these, still there are some administrative options with which you can remotely lock the device and erase hard drives and track your stolen computer location and so on. You can access data everywhere with every smart computing device, so long as you are connected with the Internet.
Real-time document sharing and collaboration:
Cloud computing server environment gives you ample opportunity for document sharing and collaboration activities. You need not send the document through email or through messengers. You can join with co workers when working with any project through cloud document collaboration among them. It synchronizes and updates in real time to give every user the convenience to work. With cloud computing you get a simulated environment, from where beta project testing for proof-of-concept can be experimented successfully. This will not harm your existing projects and data.
Cloud server environment can free up existing office environment as in-house traditional server environment and its related utilities space are now available for other purposes. With traditional server environment electricity consumption of running a server and air conditioner is on astronomical higher sides. Cloud computing is more secure and it uses, state of the art innovative encryption facility to protect and secure your essential data. With cloud server environment chooses what goes with the cloud, create strategy and time limit so as to reduce peak time costs incurring from cloud server environment.
Disadvantages and drawbacks:
An Internet connection is required for cloud computing to work. In order to have seamless access to all data, you need a decent broad band connection. Unreliable broad band connection is not going to help you for a seamless access to cloud computing. Mobile broad band is not suitable for cloud computing. It sends data to a satellite and then to cloud server and the time lag or latency can break the entire cloud computing server environment. In order to have seamless connectivity you need a dedicated wired broad band connection inside your office environment. Apposite Internet management is the need of the hour. Be sure to take advice from technology geeks before implementing cloud computing server environment. After all, most of your confidential documents stay with cloud in a separate third party computing environment, which is a long distance from a physical office location. According to some experts in cloud server environment everything is not rosy as it feels; you still need a disaster recovery plan in order to save your data in rainy days. Calculate the cost benefit analysis of your company and compare both offline as well as on line cloud server and decide which one is better for your company.
Conclusion:
It is important for business owners to seek benefits before implementing cloud computing environment in spacious access. Take the advice of professionals, make research, and seek cost benefit analysis before implementing cloud server environment inside your company. If you decide to implement this, be sure to make a transition time from traditional server environment to cloud server environment. Create a disaster recovery plan of action within a definite period of time. Moving to the cloud is a humongous decision and it should not be taken lightly. It should be done with proper care and due consultation among related stakeholders inside the company.
