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.

Microsoft's decision to retire its Windows and SQL Servers 2008 and 2008 R2 is not a sudden move. Mainstream support for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 ended on January 13, 2015, and July 8, 2014, respectively. So, the fast-approaching EOS dates herald the end of extended support for both Microsoft products. There will be no more updates, security patches or support to help you tackle a bug in production or a security breach in your data or applications.

Whether delivered over fiber or copper lines, a 10Mb Internet Irvine connection provides substantially more bandwidth than a DSL, cable, or even an Internet T1 connection. Moreover, it is ideal for the daily operations of small to mid-sized businesses, as well as access for Cloud applications. The largest providers to offer 10Mb Internet service in Irvine, CA are AT&T, Level 3 Communications, TW Telecom, and XO Communications.

"aaS Providers Shifting to Commercial VMs. IaaS (infrastructure as a service) providers have focused on open source and internal technologies to deliver solutions at the lowest possible cost. But that's changing. In the past year, there's been a rapidly growing trend for IaaS providers to add support for major commercial VM formats - especially VMware, but also Hyper-V and XenServer. The reason? To create an easy on-ramp for enterprises. As enterprises virtualize (and in many cases, build private clouds), the IaaS providers know that they need to make interoperability, hybrid, overdrafting, migration as easy as possible. The question is whether that will require commercial offerings (such as VMware's vCloud Datacenter Services, or Microsoft Dynamic Datacenter Alliance), or if conversion tools will be good enough. I tend to think that service providers better make the off-premises experience as identical to the on-premises experience as possible - and I'm not sure conversion will get them there."

What about privacy in an era of cloud computing? If I store my data in a cloud, is the data in a "closed container" and therefore private under the 4th Amendment? Or is putting data in a cloud analogous to giving the numbers I dial on my phone to the phone company?

Need a Linux cluster for an hour or two? Powua is a new cloud computing service that uses open source software to allow users to rent up to 64 CPUs for high-demand graphics rendering or scientific applications.

Some OpenSocial apps can be written entirely with client-side JavaScript and HTML, leveraging the container to serve the page and store application data. In this case, the app can scale effortlessly because the only request hitting your server is for the gadget specification which is typically cached by the container anyway. However, there are lots of reasons to consider using your own server: * Allows you to write code in the programing language of your choice. * Puts you in control of how much application data you can store. * Lets you combine data from users on multiple social networks. * Enables interaction with the OpenSocial REST API. Setting up an OpenSocial app that uses a third party server is fairly simple. There are a few gotchas and caveats, but the real issues come up when your app becomes successful - serving millions of users and sending thousands of requests per second. Apps can grow especially fast on social networks, so before you launch your next social app, you should think about how to scale up quickly if your app takes off. Unfortunately, scaling is a complex problem that's hard to solve quickly and expensive to implement. Luckily, there are several companies that provide cloud computing resources-places you can store data or run processes on virtual machines. These computing solutions manage huge infrastructures so you can focus on your applications and let the "cloud" handle all the requests and data at scale. This tutorial focuses on a simple photo-sharing app that uses a third-party server to host photos and associated metadata. If this app is going to host millions of images and support many requests per second, we won't be able to run it on a single dedicated host. We'll break the app down and analyze the interactions between the OpenSocial App and the back end server. Then we'll implement the app in the cloud, first using Google App Engine, then leveraging Amazon's S3 data storage service. Finally, we'll look at s

Service providers need to realize that the Cloud business is different than their earlier offerings - traditional hardware or solution and infrastructure managed services. They must transform quickly and direct their focus on modern applications, platform-as-a-service (PaaS), or containers and PaaS rather than just on infrastructure management. The only way forward is to incorporate agility in operations, leverage new-age toolset, establish governance, increase optimization, and invest in security as an integral part of managed services.

Unified Communications or unified meeting is a smart way to utilize your voice, email and Audio, Web or Video Conferencing services from one location, providing you with a dedicated Cloud service that connects all of your products in a fully integrated service.

RapidScale's Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) or CloudRecovery allows you to back-up your infrastructure and data in remote, mirrored data centers that have failover servers. It offers effective, scalable protection while eliminating upfront costs for expensive maintenance and equipment, making it ideal for any size business.

Internet T1 connections are a great option for small businesses as compared to cable or DSL. T1 Internet Services offers fractional T1, bonded T1 connection to small businesses for scalability, affordability and security. Difference between an Internet T1 line and cable or DSL, is that an Internet T1 connection is dedicated solely to you and your business, giving you the same speed and reliability 24/7. Cable or DSL are considered a shared bandwidth agreement.

With the development of larger compute densities on smaller chips it's fair to ask whether the data center colocation market is growing or shrinking in demand for data center space. One driving technology behind the development of high density, small footprint data infrastructure environments is cloud computing.
