Cloud Computing And Mobility
- 1. Cloud Computing & Mobility
- 2. Cloud ComputingDefinitionComputing in which services and storage are provided over the Internet (or "cloud").
- 3. What is Cloud Computing?Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone networkCloud computing is a paradigm shift it describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources.It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet.It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet.This frequently takes the form of web-based tools or applications that users can access and use through a web browser.
- 4. What is Cloud Computing? Cont…Most cloud computing infrastructures consist of services delivered through common centers and built on servers. Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs. The major cloud service providers include Microsoft, Salesforce.com, Skytap, HP, IBM, Amazon and Google.
- 5. What is Mobility?The use of portable computing devices that can run on batteries but are not usually classified as laptops: Portable computers
- 6. Tablet PCs
- 7. PDAs
- 8. Netbooks

- 12. Types of 3G TechnologiesEVDO, or Evolution Data Only/Evolution Data Optimized, is a 3G mobile broadband technology used by Verizon, Sprint, and Alltel that provides typical download speeds of 600-1400kbps (with bursts up to 3100kbps) - this article focuses mainly on EVDO mobile broadband. HSPA is another 3G technology that is used by AT&T and T-Mobile. 4G is the next generation of mobile broadband technology, but it's not as widely available as 3G service yet - Sprint uses a 4G technology called WiMAX that is currently being deployed, and Verizon will be deploying a 4G network using a technology called LTE in late 2010. Just the Basics:EVDO stands for Evolution Data OptimizedEVDO is a 3G mobile broadband technology ("3G" simply stands for "third generation")EVDO Rev-A is the current version of EVDO available from Sprint and Verizon. EVDO Rev-0 was the original technology. Rev-A is faster than Rev-0. All of the currently available EVDO modems from Sprint and Verizon are Rev-A. Personal broadband wireless service for a wide range of customers, from business people to studentsAlways on - just like a cell phone Utilizes CDMA signalWhere EVDO isn't available, 2G/1x data capability is available everywhere you have havecellphone voice service Allows the user to be connected wherever they are, not only for email, but for downloads, large files, photos, spreadsheets, etc.
- 13. What is 4G?
- 14. What is LTE
- 15. WiMAX is a 4G technology that provides wireless high-speed internet access. Much like EVDO, a 3G mobile broadband technology, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is an alternative to internet services like dial-up, DSL, cable, and satellite. It works somewhat similarly to EVDO, in that it provides broadband access to customers wirelessly via "base stations" (towers). Since it doesn't rely on cables or phone lines to deliver its signals - it uses microwave links - deploying WiMAX to a community can be done in a matter of days. WiMAX can provide speeds over 10Mbps.

- #4: Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone networkCloud computing is a paradigm shift following the shift from mainframe to client–server in the early 1980s, it describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources.It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet.This frequently takes the form of web-based tools or applications that users can access and use through a web browser as if it were a program installed locally on their own computer. These services can be accessed on other mobile platforms (smart phones, tablets, Blu-ray players, etc.)Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online that are accessed from another Web service or software like a Web browser, while the software and data are stored on servers.
