I have zero faith in 'safe cloud computing' for business that is out of your direct control, unless you have data that is absolutely worthless to anyone.
Eben Moglen said:I havent mentioned the word cloud because the word cloud doesnt really mean anything very much. In other words, the disaster we are having is not the catastrophe of the cloud. The disaster we are having is the catastrophe of the way we misunderstood the Net under the assistance of the un-free software that helped us to understand it. What cloud means is that servers have ceased to be made of iron. Cloud means virtualization of servers has occurred.
So, out here in the dusty edges of the galaxy where we live in dis-empowered clienthood, nothing very much has changed. As you walk inward towards the center of the galaxy, it gets more fuzzy than it used to. We resolve now halo where we used to see actual stars. Servers with switches and buttons you can push and such. Instead, what has happened is that iron no longer represents a single server. Iron is merely a place where servers could be. So cloud means servers have gained freedom, freedom to move, freedom to dance, freedom to combine and separate and re-aggregate and do all kinds of tricks. Servers have gained freedom. Clients have gained nothing. Welcome to the cloud.
NIST Definition of Cloud ComputingHi, guys! Anybody here heard about Cloud computing solutions? It is a remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage and process data. Is it safe? we are planning to use it in our business. Please let me know, Thank you!
See also: NIST Cloud Computing Synopis and RecommendationsCloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.
Essential Characteristics:
- On-demand self-service.
- Broad network access.
- Resource pooling.
- Rapid elasticity.
- Measured service.
Service Models:
- Software as a Service (SaaS).
- Platform as a Service (PaaS).
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)*.
Deployment Models:
- Private cloud.
- Community cloud.
- Public cloud.
- Hybrid cloud.
Yes it is completely safe because of OzoneLayer (from Adobe).
... Amazon for the first time today disclosed AWS real finances. And they are staggering: Amazon Web Services generated $5.16 billion in revenue in the year that ended on March 31.
AWS generated $265 million in operating income from $1.56 billion in revenue in the first quarter of 2015, Amazon said in its earnings report...
I will never store anything on something I do not or cannot control.
You don't control the SAN, it controls you. Now DANCE, hard drive swap monkey, DANCE!
Amazon Web Services now a $5B business
As the late Everett Dirksen noted, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money."
Uno
You don't control the SAN, it controls you. Now DANCE, hard drive swap monkey, DANCE!
I know all my email is stored on someone else's servers, but there's no way around that. That's why I've never written anything in an email I wouldn't be willing, if it came down to that, to yell out at the top of my lungs in the middle of Times Square at high noon on a balmy Saturday in the middle of June. ETA: (That's one reason why fax machines haven't totally died out yet.)Hi, guys! Anybody here heard about Cloud computing solutions?
