Latest Technology Inventions
(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))
Analysts predict that by 2014
the latest technology inventions related to cloud computing will significantly
influence how we use our computers.
Cloud computing is where tasks and file storage on your computer are performed
and stored elsewhere.
By using an internet connection you can connect to a service that has the
architecture, infrastructure and software to manage any task or storage
requirement at less cost.
The advantages of cloud computing is that it eliminates the difficulty and
expense of maintaining, upgrading and scaling your own computer hardware and
software while increasing efficiency, speed and resources.
Your computer's processing speed, memory capacity, software applications and
maintenance requirements are minimized.
You could store and access any size or type of file, play games, use or develop
applications, render videos, word process, make scientific calculations, or
anything you want, by simply using a smart phone.
As a comparison, let's say you had to generate your own electricity. You would
need to maintain, upgrade and scale these resources as required to meet your
demands. This would be expensive and time consuming.
Cloud computing could be compared to how a utility provides electricity. It has
the architecture, infrastructure, applications, expertise and resources to
generate this service for you. You just connect to their grid.
Microsoft, IBM and Google are some of the companies that are investing heavily
into the research and development of cloud technology.
