Cloud Computing project

Cloud Computing is the new era, in which the computing world is heading into. According to Michael Armbrust article “A view of cloud computing”, he claims the cold computing is “the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way it hardware is design and purchased”. Basically, cloud computing gives users the ability to receive applications, data, and store information over the internet in providers’ data centers. As long as internet is available, cloud computing enable users to get unlimited access to their information from anyplace or anytime in the world. It also makes our computer more virtual and creates scalability, so that we can track our workmanship, plan and better forecast performance. Although cloud computing comes with a lot of benefits, it also has it consequences. People all over fear cloud computing for many reasons. Some individuals fear the clouds because it’s a new product, while other because of its security threats. Nevertheless, nothing is a hundred percent safe, so we sometimes have to go with it. Besides, as we learn and experience the technology, improvements will be made that will make it safer and safer for users. Think about the uses of this new innovation in the computing world, the possibilities are endless. In additions, clouds will give small business or entrepreneurs the grounds to stand up to multibillion dollar corporation; it will give them the opportunity to start up their businesses with low overhead. As a result, small companies will be able to compete with ideas and not money. Clouds can also charge the way we educate, conduct business, and the way the government communicates internally. Overall the pro-side of cloud computing tends to win over the con-side. Since the beginning of computers, we all have feared information technology and still have concerns about our safety as we progress. Hopefully new invention like Microsoft’s VPSS and HP “cells as a service”, that will create a harmless virtual environment in which user will feel safer. However, on the upside with the advantages that cloud computing brings, companies of all sizes will be able to contribute more time for innovation, leading to greener IT and better products for users. Cloud computing will bring a new age, it will also bring by a lot of problems, but with everything good there will be something bad about it. As long as, we all see the potential that cloud computing has, and realize the good that it can contribute to elevate lives all around the world.
