CLOUD COMPUTING cloud computing and its importance to

CLOUD COMPUTING cloud computing and its importance to large scale firms such as Apple and Microsoft.

Introduction • Cloud computing can be referred to as computing in which centralized memory, resources allocations and computer services are made available to a large number of computers via the internet. • When was it invented cloud computing • Cloud computer concept started in the early in 1950 s, when industries and business are using large-scale mainframe computers to accessed data from their CPU.

Who would benefit from it and why? • Businesses • Most business are moving into cloud computing because of its cost effective and it process huge amount of data at very high speed. • Data is ready access immediate anywhere in the world. Cloud computing has made a positive impact to all types of businesses especially Apple, Microsoft and other providers of cloud computing services.

Customers • Customers using cloud computing to run their applications find it important and benefit to them because cloud billing is flexible to support different type of business applications. • These allow the consumers to pay only for what there have used. • It also provides customers with quicker and instant services to data access

Cloud service providers (Apple and Microsoft) • Provide service to their customers such as Apple and Microsoft, sees cloud computing as a platform of increasing modern businesses to spring up. • cloud computing allowing workers to concentrate on the growing demand for new application and solutions. • Boarding their services on cloud computing solutions for the delivering to businesses globally. • It uses powerful equipment to allows modern business to operate in a flexible platform for a quickly build, deploy and manage of applications on the network data.

Risks involved with cloud computing? • Controls over provided security might caused exposure of certain data. • Bad applications, application that lack background security can lead to the sensitive data been expose by provider’s employees. • Sharing of computing resources by different companies is a potential risk. Customers’ might gain access into others information knowingly or unknowingly. • Transmitting of high volume of data can cause interception and exposed of important information.

CONCLUSION Its software application data centres that permit businesses to access different kind of data within a network platform. Cloud computing has been embraced by businesses due it flexibility and easy access to data anywhere in the world. It was designed for businesses to have access into a huge data centre without them building their own, which is difficult to maintain and time consuming. Although, it has issues with data security, high security measures can be put in place to combat the problems.

Types of cloud Networks • Public cloud networks is when an application are runs in a public domain, and the network is design to process unlimited amount of application that runs in the public provider infinite. • Private cloud reside on it organisation premise, the infrastructure is not infinite capacity. Private cloud is limited to the applications running simultaneously on it virtual machine. • Hybrid cloud network is the combination of public and private link to together to process data in high speed and managed cost.
