Cloud computing is a term used to describe a variety of computing models that involve a collection of computers housed in a secure facility accessed through a network connection, typically the Internet. However, cloud computing isn't new, in fact it has been around since the early 1950s.

Limelight Content Storage is a tool that is employed to speed the delivery of your rich content to the end user and hosts it in the Cloud. Customers today are drawn to media rich websites but these same customers also have very high expectations of websites and do not have the patience to wait for slow video buffering or error messages. With so much business competition out there you need to ensure that your delivery is not detracting clients. If you use Limelight Content Storage your data will have a shorter distance to travel to reach your potential customer.

What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is the access to computers and their functionality via the Internet or a local area network. Users of a cloud request this access from a set of web services that manage a pool of computing resources (i.e., machines, network, storage, operating systems, application development environments, application programs). When granted, a fraction of the resources in the pool is dedicated to the requesting user until he or she releases them. It is called "cloud computing" because the user cannot actually see or specify the physical location and organization of the equipment hosting the resources they are ultimately allowed to use. That is, the resources are drawn from a "cloud" of resources when they are granted to a user and returned to the cloud when they are released. A "cloud" is a set of machines and web services that implement cloud computing.

Zoho Plug-In for MS OfficeThe "Zoho Plug-in for Microsoft Office" bridges the gap between online and offline office productivity. Users task has been simplified much more with the fact that they have a choice to work offline on their documents and spreadsheets with Microsoft Word/Excel and still have these changes reflected directly online in their Zoho account (Writer/Sheet). The new plug-in enables users to :Create, edit and save their documents & spreadsheets directly to Zoho Writer/Sheet from within Microsoft Word/Excel. Alternatively, users can open and edit their Zoho documents & spreadsheets in Microsoft Word/Excel and save it back to their respective Zoho services (Writer/Sheet).Installation and UseUsers can download the Zoho plug-in here. As with all other windows application, the file name 'zohoplugin.exe' will be saved to your preferred location on your local machine. Installation is pretty simple, please remember to close all your MS Office applications before you install this plug-in. After the initial check is over, double click on the 'zohoplugin.exe' file to begin the installation process. A picture they say is worth a thousand words and with all them arranged in a slide show using Zoho Show is certainly worth a million.

Cloud computing -- defined by the ACM Computer Communication Review as a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources that can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load and operated on a pay-per-use model -- has been generating considerable attention throughout the high-performance computing community, in both the commercial and academic sectors. This new model is seen as a possible way for researchers to move from processing and managing their own data sets locally, to relying on large, off-site, commercially-managed data clusters.

Cloud services are being talked up as a fundamental shift in web architecture that promises to move us from interconnected silos to a collaborative network of services whose sum is greater than its parts. The problem is that the protocols powering current cloud services; SOAP and a few other assorted HTTP-based protocols are all one way information exchanges. Therefore cloud services aren't real-time, won't scale, and often can't clear the firewall. So, it's time we blow up those barriers and come to Jesus about the protocol that will fuel the SaaS models of tomorrow--that solution is XMPP (also called Jabber) .

Windows Azure provides three core components, Compute, Storage and the Fabric, along with the Fabric controller. Compute is effectively the Windows operating system, this is an instance. These instances contain a copy of your application. Instances also come in two flavours, a Web Role or a Worker Role. Web roles accept and process HTTP requests using IIS. Not everything you may want to run in Windows Azure is a Web application, so Windows Azure also provides Worker roles. A Worker role instance is quite similar to a Web role instance. The key difference is that a Worker role does not have IIS preconfigured to run in each instance. Web and Worker roles can communicate with each other via technologies like WCF, or using Windows Azure Storage queues.

Windows Azure platform Appfabric Windows Azure platform AppFabric is made up of two components, Service Bus and Access Control. Before going into these two components it’s worth noting that there is also a product called Windows Server platform Appfabric, currently these two “Appfabric” products are different, however they are the same product teams within Microsoft and their product roadmap includes closer synergy over time.

The physical and informational barriers we once used to differentiate between our "private" and "public" selves are being eroded by technology, and the erosion is accelerating. If we persist in utilizing a zero-sum, spatial conception of privacy to implement the Fourth Amendment, we will render it ineffective as a guarantor of privacy in the face of arbitrary government action. If we continue along this path, the Fourth Amendment will become, in effect, an artifact - a device that protects against a limited class of real-world intrusions (which will become increasingly unnecessary given the other alternatives).
