 Michael Marlowe serves as the director of strategy and vice president of new
markets at Columbus, OH-based Technology Infrastructure company ChaseTek.
With experience in executive capacities for various organizations, Michael Marlowe
also functions as a telecom advisor with substantial industry knowledge. He is
particularly informed about an array of technology products and telecom
technologies, including cloud computing.
In general, cloud computing refers to using the Internet to access resources for a
specific purpose. A type of technology infrastructure, it is based on the concept of
sharing resources among people and organizations. Often referred to as the cloud,
the technology relies on a network of remotely located servers rather than local
devices to store, manage, and process data. Google Drive, Apple Cloud, and
Amazon Drive are some of the most typical examples of this type of technology.
One of the most significant benefits of cloud computing is its ability to scale
elastically. Users can either increase or reduce the use of resources, depending on
their computing needs. Thus, they only pay according to their utilization of
resources and the extent of their workload. Other advantages associated with the
technology include faster speed, access to prompt and upgraded computing
devices, and reliable data backup and recovery.
