Cloud Computing
Have you heard about Cloud Computing? It is the latest buzz. You may be using Cloud Computing already. You are if you are using a web based e-mail service. G-Mail is a good example of Cloud. So what does it mean. There is a lot written about it. Down and dirty explanation, its means your information isn't stored on your computer. It is stored on another computer somewhere else. It doesn't mean it was hacked into and retrieved. It means you contacted a Company or Business to store your information at their business. E-mail is usually free, and others information like Word Document, Spreadsheets,etc can be either free or a charge. Google is a free Cloud Computing Service. It has both G-Mail and Data Documents available to be used and they are free. If a place of business wanted to use Cloud they would contact a Business that provides Cloud for Clients. They then would be required to pay a fee to use the Software required. Usually a Business would use if they needed a lot of storage space to hold their information. Another reason might be they don't have to purchase new software every time it is updated. Companies might use because they don't have to purchase software license for all of their computers. A Reason for Home Use might be because of storage space. You would not have to buy a lot of storage space. If you use Cloud Computing, you can access you information anytime/anywhere you can get on the Internet. Now for the concerns about Cloud. Security and Privacy is always a big concern. Do you feel comfortable having someone else take over your important data. First of all these companies that are offering Cloud should be doing all they can to insure that your Data is secure. They have to have the trust of their Clients, otherwise they would go out of business. They would have to have all of the latest and most advanced software. They should have all of the ways to protect your privacy. Some concerns are the same ones we face with our own computers. Is the Data backed up. Do they have strong Virus Protection. Do they have an authorization format to sign in to retrieve our information. Bottom line to me is if the information is lost it is gone. Anything can be hacked into and we hear about that on the news. On the other hand if you want to do it, look for a well known company.
