Cloud Computing

Introduction

Cloud Computing is an online platform though which you can store or access your documents anytime from anywhere. A cloud computing user is free of the boundaries of a single specific desktop. It not only let you to store documents or files but also the software needed to access and changes them. Its best-known forms in consumer markets are Amazon “S3” and “Google Docs”, but a large number of companies provide such services for bulk storage and handling of corporate, public service and government data. The theory is that end-users no longer need a complex and expensive computer with ecologically damaging hard drives and CD-DVD players, or memory- and power-hungry local software.

Discussion

Cloud computing is utility computing or grid computing, or software-as-service or managed service. But the opposite is not true. Of all these concepts, more familiar to the user takes one or several principles, but with their own dynamics there is to know understanding (Bisong & Rahman, 2011). In addition to being influenced by these technologies, as well as trends toward virtualization, automation, massively parallel processing and service orientation, cloud computing is emerging as a result of expectations created by Web 2.0 among users. Recently, Steve Mills, senior vice president and chief executive of the software unit of IBM, Network World noted the role of the new model for the excitement with which people are receiving capabilities and Web 2.0 mashup. "The idea that an application does not exist in a particular place, but can be composed of multiple pieces from multiple sites is owed to the Web 2.0.

A major advantage of cloud computing is that it can access their applications and their files via different terminals (PC, smart phone or tablet) and different connection types (fixed broadband, 3G, WiFi, etc.) (Njeguš & Grubor, 2011). By moving the center of its applications to the network (Network as the Platform), it is now possible to overcome the constraints related to equipment (Widescreen / small, wide / low computing power, storage, large / small, network connection fast / slow, environment PC / Mac / Linux, Windows Mobile / iPhone / Android / RIM). The graphical user interface (GUI) adapts depending on the mode of consumption and data processing comes via the computing power in the network, rather than a device with limited resources (such as a smart phone). Consumers will notice that it is getting easier day by day. People using their phones, PC, or any internet enabled device can easily browse through internet and sync their outlook program for emails in their phones. Other cloud services like Facebook and twitter are also easily accessible through mobile phones (Tadjer, 2010).

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is one of the greatest inventions of cloud. After the invention of Bluetooth, there has been great advancement in many applications. The Bluetooth software further developed it gained popularity as a feature in the cell phones. There are various applications that are made with the assistance of Bluetooth software (Hagel & Armstrong, ...
