Cloud Technology

Overview of the Study

The evolution of information technologies and means of communication is unstoppable and every day are made available to citizens with new tools solutions and increasingly sophisticated and integrated with the Internet, allowing meeting growing needs of computerization and communication. Cloud technology is a new trend in software, in which all services are made directly to the computer from the Internet, therefore, no longer have to install a huge number of files on your computer, because the program to be use, it will run directly from the software provider's server, lightening our hard drives.

It is mainly used to represent the Simple Network Internet cloud painting name placed on the basis of "cloud computing" the basic concept is the application to be run over the Internet. Most important feature is the users and systems to provide any information traditional technologies, such as the software is that there is a need to invest more. Cloud computing method, and all the resources and services, "pay as you go" model available to businesses.

Thesis Statement

The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of cloud computing in different sectors with considering its benefits and limitations.

Research Questions

The following are the research questions addressed

What is the role of cloud technology?

What are the challenges associated with cloud technology?

History of Cloud Computing

The idea of cloud computing was developed in 2002 by Amazon, as a leader in e-business, that invested in a fleet of huge machines, handling the huge load of orders made at the time of Christmas. Thus, since the Cloud computing was introduced it is taking as one of the major developments of ICT. The principle is simple: move the computer processing power and data from the workstation (fixed / mobile) to large data centers. Among the main drivers of this transformation include the ubiquity of broadband access and the falling price of storage. The rise of Web 2.0, usability and ergonomics of its online applications, is one of the most striking expressions of this development (Smith, 2009). Attractive to both users and developers, cloud computing relies on the economic model of pay-as-you-go, that is to say pay according to its growth and its individual needs. This model is also the norm in most sectors of the economy.

Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing: Directions for the Conscious Use of Services

A private cloud (cloud or private) is an information infrastructure for the most dedicated to the needs of a single organization, located on its premises or contracted under management to a third party (in the traditional form of 'hosting server) against which the owner of the data can often exert a precise control. The private cloud can be compared to the traditional "data center" in which, however, are used for technological solutions that optimize the use of available resources and strengthen them through investment content and implemented progressively over time.
