Thread: what is Cloud computing under Cloud Hosting

Cloud computing is a popular computer term which has different interpretations. In computer science by 'cloud' is understood a network of computing devices which work together to provide services. More specifically, in web hosting cloud computing means that all web hosting services (web, ftp, mail, etc) run on many different servers ensuring that a failure in one device will not cause a service failure.
The cloud is usually opaque to the end user as the end user does not have to manage the core technology. The end user’s only duty is to use the resources from the cloud on demand and upon predefined terms.
Cloud computing benefits include:

• Redundant data storage - even if one hard disk fails your data is safe and will continue to be available automatically on another one;
• Dedicated resources - the latest cloud computing technology ensures that your resources are dedicated to you and not shared to others. This includes RAM and CPU according to the plan you choose.
• No single point of failure - each part of the service is ensured to be redundant and distributed. This means that there are no hardware problems, nor software problems from the underlying technology.
• Resource usage efficiency - best options to scale to your usage and naturally pay only what you use.
• Security - each cloud user can be reliably isolated in his / her own environment. This ensures that security problems will be also isolated in the otherwise shared environment.

In regards to web hosting, cloud hosting users can have an environment simulating a dedicated server. This provides maximum dedicated resources usage and security at a fraction of the dedicated server price.

good information

this is a nice post about cloud computing. i really learn more about cloud computing from this post

Great article! Thanks a lot!

Cloud computing is a great revolution in the field of information Technology.With the help of cloud computing a person sitting anywhere can get his problem resolved.It's like a customer has to select his requirement and it will be provided through Cloud computing.

Cloud computing can be regarded as essentially the provision of computing resources and/or software as a utility, in the same way that your business uses familiar utilities, such as electricity, water, gas etc. Cloud computing enables you to pay for computing resources as you need them. These services are provided over the internet, on a consumption-based pay-as-you-use model, with short-term contracts and without up-front expenditure.
Whether you realise it or not, you’re probably already using cloud-based services. Facebook and Google are two prominent companies offering cloud-based software as a free online service to billions of users across the world. Google, for example, hosts a set of online productivity tools and applications in the cloud such as email, word processing, calendars, photo sharing, and website creation tools.
Broadly speaking, to be considered “cloud computing” an application’s data and core processing functions would be hosted/stored and managed online or ‘in the cloud’, and accessible from any PC, laptop or mobile device with a network connection in real-time.

Cloud computing is one of the latest technologies that the world is gradually moving towards. There are different forms of services provided with the help of cloud computing technology and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) are the ones that are quite eminent. iVvy's Online Event Software is one of the examples of Software as a Service (Saas).

Thank you for this. I've been hearing about the 'cloud' so much these days and I know what how to use it however I wasn't sure what I was using and how it worked. It's clear now though. : )

Thanks for the posting about the cloud posting I really get it because I was really confused about this before after read your post now finally I got it.

Yes, Thank you for the informative post xpressbuddy. I too now have a better understanding of cloud computing.

regards,

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing and storage capacity as a service to a community of end-recipients. The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts services with a user's data, software and computation over a network.

cloud computing means disk less computer.you have no need to have a Harddisk into your computer all of your data will be available online and you can acess it wherever you want.

goog info. quite informative. thx!

Thanks For Sharing this useful & important news god bless you.

Cloud term is used when the Front End server and the Edge server have load balancer working in tandom. The architecture is unique when compared as you would have the Data storage ( Eg: SQL ) which does not need to go through the system and has a direct access to the Director Server.

In simple terms, a terminal is created between end points and by passes all the required essential servers.
Usually it is a Secured terminal.
