Cloud Computing

I will try to explain the meaning of the ‘cloud computing’ term in an easy way: picture a cloud ‘floating’ in the sky… Pictured it? So you just got the basis of what is this very used IT term.

Cloud computing mean that you can have your information ‘stored’ somewhere in the net, using web-based technology. It means that you can have process, storage and software solutions designed using the web ‘space’ and tolls. We can say that cloud computing is the most evolved stage of virtualization.

What are the benefits of using this concept? You can spare a huge capacity of you server putting your information at the clouds and you can also be save that if something happens to your server, the information will be there, at the parallel cloud server and not lost somewhere at your server.

As you won’t need to spend money at infrastructure to develop a service or something at the clouds, you will also save money, what is just perfect these days…. ;)

Remember that this is a new and growing concept, for sure we will hear a lot about it!!
