Cloud storage or computing & its working
- 1. CLOUD STORAGE By:- Piyush Mishra (Invertis University Bareilly) Email:-piyushmishra387@gmail.com
- 2. Does anyone have a lot of files on their computer but doesn’t have the space to store them? Do you worry about losing files? Do you want your files to be secure and easily accessible?
- 3. Cloud storage is defined as the “storage of data online in the cloud”. In other words, cloud storage is a cloud computing model in which data is stored on remote servers accessed from the internet.
- 5. Access your document anywhere. Share your document easily. Keep your document safe Get cloud storage space for free or at very low cost. Accumulated a personal file achieve in the cloud so you can use in different occasion.
- 6. Things to consider:- •What does the company or you need out of the service Storage Space Budget •Performance Typical transfer rate 2-3Mb/sec •Technical Support •Data Protection Disaster Recovery Comprehensive Backup •Security
- 7. Cost Efficient Cloud computing is probably the most cost efficient method to use, maintain and upgrade. The cloud, on the other hand, is available at much cheaper rates and hence, can significantly lower the company’s IT expenses.
- 8. Backup and Recovery Since all your data is stored in the cloud, backing it up and restoring the same is relatively much easier than storing the same on a physical device.
- 9. Security: Many companies may not want to hand over their data to an external organization to store, fearing that they may not have the right security software to protect the company’s data.
- 10. The Need for Reliable Internet Service Finally, you will become more dependent on a good Internet connection if you rely on the cloud. As more mission-critical work is done on the Internet, organizations will need much more bandwidth and few, if any, failures in Internet connectivity.
- 11. To understand the workings of a cloud computing system, it is easier to divide it into two sections: the front end and the back end. They are connected to each other through a network, usually the Internet. The front end is the side of the computer user or client. The back end is the “cloud” section of the system.
- 12. The front end consists of the client’s computer or computer network and the application essential to access the cloud computing system. It is not necessary that all cloud computing systems have the same user interface. On the back end of a cloud system, there are various computers, servers and data storage systems that make up the “cloud”. A cloud computing system could potentially include any computer program, from data processing to video games. Generally, each application will have its own dedicated server.
- 14. Gives 5GB of free storage (if you want more, you have to pay for it yearly) Allows you to sync all your idevices to iCloud Anything you have stored in the iCloud can be accessed from any idevice ◦ For example, a document typed on an iPad and saved to the iCloud can be accessed from an iPhone.
- 15. Gives you 2GB of free storage Allows you to get more free space by completing certain tasks Available in the App Store and Android Market For example, a file uploaded to Drop box from a MacBook can be accessed from a Samsung phone.
- 16. Gives you 15GB of free storage Requires a G-mail account to be accessed Individuals can buy more storage for themselves (Google Apps for Business Administrators can buy storage licenses) Allows you to type documents, make spreadsheets/presentations, etc., and then save them to your drive.
- 17. Gives you 5GB of free storage (additional storage is available for $10 a year) Available for download on Kindle Fire(HD) A Save to Cloud Drive app is available in the App Store for $1.99 and an Amazon Cloud Pictures is in the Android Market for free.
- 18. Gives you 7GB of free storage (additional storage can be bought) Requires a Windows Live account to be accessed Can be saved to a Windows computer as a mapped drive.
- 20. Many of the activities loosely grouped together under cloud computing have already been happening and centralised computing activity is not a new phenomena Grid Computing was the last research-led centralised approach However there are concerns that the mainstream adoption of cloud computing could cause many problems for users Many new open source systems appearing that you can install and run on your local cluster ◦ should be able to run a variety of applications on these systems
- 21. Cloud computing is a quickly changing area that will undoubtedly continue to play an increasingly major role for nonprofits, charities, and libraries as well as their IT systems. But which elements of your IT infrastructure you should move into the cloud — and when — will vary a lot from organization to organization.
