Qual conceito de Cloud Computing? Genericamente falando.

Tags: Cloud

Olá pessoal! Sou novo no assunto, e tenho uma ideia do que poderia definir Cloud Computing. Poderíamos generalizar dizendo que trata-se da construção de uma “nova cidade”? Onde cada informação jogada na rede seria como uma *rua nova*, só que uma cidade de tamanho infinito, ou ao menos não saberíamos a qual tamanho essa cidade poderia chegar. E para buscarmos, toda vez que digitamos o nome da rua, o GPS nos levará ao local solicitado (uma planilha de dados, um arquivo PDF, um filme, uma musica,…), ao digitarmos o nome do arquivo no navegador, nosso pedido será direcionado a tal rua, e desta forma conseguiríamos encontrar o solicitado dentro desta “cidade gigantesca”. Peço a avaliação de vocês sobre essa possibilidade, se está certo ou errado pensar de tal maneira.

It’s best to post in English, but here is a rough translation.

What cloud computing concept? Generically speaking.

Hey, guys! I’m new to the subject, and I have an idea of what Cloud Computing could define. Could we generalize by saying that this is the construction of a “new city”? Where every piece of information thrown into the net would be like a new street, only a city of infinite size, or at least we wouldn’t know what size this city could get to. And to search, every time we type the street name, the GPS will take us to the requested location (a data sheet, a PDF file, a movie, a song,…), when we type the file name in the browser, our request will be directed to such street, and in this way we would be able to find the requested within this “gigantic city”. I ask your assessment of this possibility, whether it is right or wrong to think in such a way.

What is Cloud Computing?

In reply to Qual conceito de Cloud Computing? Genericamente falando.

Generally speaking, it is a type of computing which depends upon shared computing resources instead of having local servers or personal devices for handling applications. Cloud computing services are provided to and used over the Internet. These services are paid for cloud customers on an as-required business model. In other words, we can say that cloud computing offers different services through the Internet and resources are tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.

What cloud computing concept?

Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you use, helping lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently and scale as your business needs change.

Cloud computing is a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. Here are some reasons organisations are turning to cloud computing:

Cost
Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software and setting up and running on-site data-centers—the racks of servers, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling, the IT experts for managing the infrastructure. It adds up fast.

Speed
Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning.

Global scale
The benefits of cloud computing services include the ability to scale elastically. In cloud speak, that means delivering the right amount of IT resources—for example, more or less computing power, storage, bandwidth—right when it is needed and from the right geographic location.

Productivity
On-site data-centers typically require a lot of “racking and stacking”—hardware setup, software patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes the need for many of these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals.

Performance
The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure data-centers, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. This offers several benefits over a single corporate data-center, including reduced network latency for applications and greater economies of scale.

Reliability
Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity easier and less expensive because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network.

Security
Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies, technologies and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps and infrastructure from potential threats
