its about cloud storage and how many companies provide us these services.

2.  Does anyone have a lot of files on their
computer but doesn’t have the space to store
them?
 Do you worry about losing files?
 Do you want your files to be secure and easily
accessible?

3.  Cloud storage is defined as the “storage of data online in
the cloud”.
 In other words, cloud storage is a cloud computing model
in which data is stored on remote servers accessed from
the internet.

5.  Access your document anywhere.
 Share your document easily.
 Keep your document safe
 Get cloud storage space for free or at very
low cost.
 Accumulated a personal file achieve in the
cloud so you can use in different occasion.

6. Things to consider:-
•What does the company or you need out of the service
 Storage Space
 Budget
•Performance
 Typical transfer rate 2-3Mb/sec
•Technical Support
•Data Protection
 Disaster Recovery
 Comprehensive Backup
•Security

7.  Cost Efficient
Cloud computing is probably the most cost efficient
method to use, maintain and upgrade. The cloud, on
the other hand, is available at much cheaper rates
and hence, can significantly lower the company’s IT
expenses.

8.  Backup and Recovery
Since all your data is stored in the cloud,
backing it up and restoring the same is relatively
much easier than storing the same on a physical
device.

9. Security: Many companies may not want to hand
over their data to an external organization to store,
fearing that they may not have the right security
software to protect the company’s data.

10.  The Need for Reliable Internet Service
Finally, you will become more dependent on a good Internet
connection if you rely on the cloud. As more mission-critical
work is done on the Internet, organizations will need much
more bandwidth and few, if any, failures in Internet
connectivity.

11.  To understand the workings of a cloud
computing system, it is easier to divide it into
two sections: the front end and the back end.
They are connected to each other through a
network, usually the Internet. The front end is
the side of the computer user or client. The
back end is the “cloud” section of the system.

12.  The front end consists of the client’s computer or
computer network and the application essential
to access the cloud computing system. It is not
necessary that all cloud computing systems have
the same user interface.
 On the back end of a cloud system, there are
various computers, servers and data storage
systems that make up the “cloud”. A cloud
computing system could potentially include any
computer program, from data processing to
video games. Generally, each application will
have its own dedicated server.

14.  Gives 5GB of free storage (if you want more,
you have to pay for it yearly)
 Allows you to sync all your idevices to iCloud
 Anything you have stored in the iCloud can
be accessed from any idevice
◦ For example, a document typed on an iPad and
saved to the iCloud can be accessed from an
iPhone.

15.  Gives you 2GB of free storage
 Allows you to get more free space by
completing certain tasks
 Available in the App Store and Android
Market
 For example, a file uploaded to Drop box
from a MacBook can be accessed from a
Samsung phone.

16.  Gives you 15GB of free storage
 Requires a G-mail account to be accessed
 Individuals can buy more storage for
themselves (Google Apps for Business
Administrators can buy storage licenses)
 Allows you to type documents, make
spreadsheets/presentations, etc., and then save
them to your drive.

17.  Gives you 5GB of free storage (additional
storage is available for $10 a year)
 Available for download on Kindle Fire(HD)
 A Save to Cloud Drive app is available in the
App Store for $1.99 and an Amazon Cloud
Pictures is in the Android Market for free.

18.  Gives you 7GB of free storage (additional
storage can be bought)
 Requires a Windows Live account to be
accessed
 Can be saved to a Windows computer as a
mapped drive.

20.  Many of the activities loosely grouped together under
cloud computing have already been happening and
centralised computing activity is not a new
phenomena
 Grid Computing was the last research-led centralised
approach
 However there are concerns that the mainstream
adoption of cloud computing could cause many
problems for users
 Many new open source systems appearing that you
can install and run on your local cluster
◦ should be able to run a variety of applications on
these systems

21.  Cloud computing is a quickly changing area
that will undoubtedly continue to play an
increasingly major role for nonprofits,
charities, and libraries as well as their IT
systems. But which elements of your IT
infrastructure you should move into the cloud
— and when — will vary a lot from
organization to organization.
