Cloud Computing

 

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is the delivery of services including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the Internet to offer faster innovation, flexible resources.

Cloud computing technology gives access to storage, files, software, and servers through their internet-connected devices likes computers, smartphones, tablets, and wearables. Cloud computing providers store and process data in a location that’s separate from end users.

Benefits of cloud computing

  • Agility
  • Elasticity
  • Cost savings
  • Deploy globally in minutes


How does cloud computing work?

One benefit of using cloud-computing services is that firms can avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and maintaining their own IT infrastructure, and instead simply pay for what they use, when they use it.


Cloud computing components

  • Data centers
  • Networking capabilities
  • Virtualization


Types of cloud Services

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Software as a Service (SaaS)

Your cloud infrastructure can be organized in several ways

  • Public Cloud
  • Private Cloud
  • Community Cloud
  • Hybrid Clouds

What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing?

Cloud computing is not necessarily cheaper than other forms of computing, just as renting is not always cheaper than buying in the long term. If an application has a regular and predictable requirement for computing services it may be more economical to provide that service in-house.

SaaS application may also mean you are using the same applications as a rival, which might make it hard to create any competitive advantage if that application is core to your business.

AI | Artificial Intelligence | Technology

  In a world where technology is constantly evolving and advancing, artificial intelligence stands out as one of the most fascinating and revolutionary developments of our time. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI has become an integral part of our daily lives, and its potential for the future seems limitless. At its core, artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. It involves the development of algorithms and systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, pattern recognition, and decision-making. The goal of AI is to create machines that can mimic human cognitive functions and even surpass them in certain areas. One of the most prominent aspects of artificial intelligence is machine learning, which allows machines to analyze and interpret data, learn from it, and make decisions based on that data. Machine learning algori...

Client-Side Technologies

  Client-Side Technologies Client Side Technologies are the tools and languages that run in the user's web browser, rather than on a web server. In the world of web development, client-side technologies handle: Web page layout Form input validation User interaction Dynamic changes in web page content HTML HTML is the standard markup language used to create web pages and web applications. Its elements form the building blocks of pages, representing formatted text, images, form inputs, and other structures. When a browser makes a request to a URL, whether fetching a page or an application, the first thing that is returned is an HTML document. This HTML document may reference or include additional information about its look and layout in the form of CSS, or behavior in the form of JavaScript. CSS CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to control the look and layout of HTML elements. CSS styles can be applied directly to an HTML element, defined separately on the same page, or defined in...

What is Cybersecurity?

  Improve network and cyber security with active measures and unique out-of-the-box features exclusive to Intel Hardware Shield, which includes advanced threat protection, application and data protection, and below-the-OS security. Help ensure your OS boots securely and launch your PCs in a trusted state with Intel Hardware Shield, which prevents malware from compromising the OS and offers hardware-based security capabilities that support a secure startup. An ideal cybersecurity approach should have multiple layers of protection across any potential access point or attack surface. This includes a protective layer for data, software, hardware and connected networks. In addition, all employees within an organization who have access to any of these endpoints should be trained on the proper compliance and security processes. Organizations also use tools such as unified threat management systems as another layer of protection against threats. These tools can detect, isolate and remediat...
