These "clouds" of computing resources can be accessed on an as-needed basis from any connected device and location" (Kenneth 2012). So basically cloud computing connects one device to another device through the Internet, and they can share virtually any type of file from one device to another. There are three main types of cloud services: public, private and hybrid. All three services addresses different requirement and concerns, and they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Public cloud service is a service that is open to anyone who has access to Internet is a potential user. Public cloud service can be further divided into application, platform and infrastructure. Software as service (SAAS) "transfer programs to millions of users through browser. In the user's views, this can save some cost on servers and software. In the provider's views, they only need to maintain one program, this can also save cost" (Wang, June 2011). Google Apps and Zoho offices are examples of SAAS. Platform as service (PAAS) is another type SAAS, which you can use to develop your own program and transfer it through users through Internet and servers. Infrastructure as a service (IAAS) allows users to manage processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources so that they can deploy and run arbitrary software such as operating systems and application (Yan, 2011). Public cloud is relatively cheaper because customers don't have to pay for the initial hardware and software, which is taken care by the service provider. "The customer only has to pay for the services used" (Castrillo, 2013). .
Private cloud, also known as internal cloud, involves secure environment in which only the specified client can operate. "Private clouds are completely managed and maintained by your organization. Generally all the infrastructure for the environment will be housed in a data center that you control.
As mentioned, people have been using cloud computing for years. ... One example of cloud computing software is called Dropbox. ... Cloud computing is an amazing tool. ... Dropbox made cloud computing simple and reliable. ... This research paper was started on a laptop and saved to Dropbox. ...
In this paper, we shall conduct an in-depth study of Herbert Simon's Contribution to the Public Organization Theory. ... He argues that it is never possible to arrive at perfect rationality because the mind is clouded by many issues that also cloud the end result. ... With empirical evidence of the issues at hand and the past knowledge on decisions reached at earlier it is possible to have the decision making computed and programmed for possible future predictions. ... This process is not as simplistic as it looks and is clouded by the issues of rationality, past experience and cognitive...
The equation is: A=RKLSCP, where A is the computed soil loss per unit area, R is a rainfall factor, K is a soil erodibility factor, L is a slope length factor, S is a slope degree factor, C is a crop practice factor, and P is a conservation practice factor (Baffaut et al 1998). ... Data at 6-min intervals for 41 sites in the tropics of Australia were used to compute the rainfall and runoff factor (R-factor) for the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), and a daily rainfall erosivity model was validated for these tropical sites. ... Much research had been done to show the effects of different t...
As the clouds rolled asunder before the heights, gradually, very gradually, we saw the great mountainsides and glaciers and ridges, now one fragment, now another, through the floating rifts, until, far higher in the sky than imagination dared to suggest, a prodigious white fang - an excrescence from the jaw of the world - the summit of Everest appeared. ... Climbing Everest is more than just walking up a mountain; it's about understanding the risks and the amount of effort and research and the history of the mountain. ... Researchers have determined that low altitude endurance athletes ha...
The purpose of this research paper is to identify some of the potential benefits for those banks who have loan officers that use some type of information technology to aid in the their analysis and decision making abilities. ... Although loan officers are very knowledgeable of the credits within their portfolio, their ability in identifying risk can sometimes get clouded because of the relationship established with the borrower. ... Therefore the purpose of this paper is to suggest some of the possible systems that could be deployed, which may aid the bank's analysis, along with the cor...
