Cloud Computing
We face the new paradigm of “cloud” computing, in which anything that can be done in computer. You can move to the cloud or what is the same, the network, this model implies use computing resources as a supply again, as if it were electricity or telephone. These resources are offered by providers cloud, which manage large remote data centers and serve multiple clients accessing them through any device connected to the Internet. It is estimated that the market for cloud computing will reach 42,000 million in 2012 and encompasses large suppliers and established as Google, Microsoft, Sales force, IBM and Amazon.

The cloud is particularly attractive for SMEs and start- ups. First, Now that these companies do not have easy access to capital, reduced initial investments offered by the cloud is a means to keep competitiveness. Second, the cloud reduces the time- to-market and thanks to this new services model can be ready in a matter of hours with a risk limited. Furthermore, access to economies of scale through suppliers. And fourth, access to more sophisticated systems security. And finally, benefit from highly specialized user support. Although few companies using cloud services in 2009, percentage plans to ride the cloud is very high. The main reason to

What really gives the cloud to SMEs is the opportunity to play in a higher league .The cloud services is more widespread in large companies. For these, the main attraction is to convert fixed costs into variable costs. This gain insight into the actual costs of each application while minimizes the risk of launching new products and services. However, not future opportunities for the cloud
Workers are also not being used to their full potential as the majority of the IT budget is going towards them to maintain the current system that they have in place. Carr determines that these problems can be fixed with relative ease by combining three different technologies, Web services, virtualization, and grid computing. The combination will allow for less technology to be wasted and processing power to be used to its full capacity. He tells the reader, this is what the individual will have to do to advance the information technology environment to its fullest potential and continues by listing examples of some of the possible corporations and sources from where this individual could come from, including big computing hardware contributors, information technology hosting operations, an internet extraordinaire and new start up innovators. He concludes the article by pointing out that as dubious as this may be, many other innovations similar to this started the same way and people should not fear to take action on this opportunity, as it will better humanity. I believe that the article provides some good points as it shows us that the
The ability to record information which is relevant to a product and service will help ensure an exceptional customer experience. The ability to access this information anywhere in the world is also key to supporting the customer. (http://www.cio.com/archive/ec_blueprint.html) Wireless devices such as laptops,
In this fast-packed society, there is not enough time to do the things that we could have been able to do 20 or 30 years ago. The worldwide broadband connection speed is constantly growing with the current average speed at 2Mbps (Akamai). With this high influx of speed, we would expect to see more time in the lives of people. Instead, we see people wasting time and finding ways to have more time. Google, for example, has become our silicon brain. Carr agrees, stating, “the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind” (Carr 341). We type whatever we need in the big, blue box in the center of the page and we receive an answer in a matter of seconds. When I have to find an answer, for example, “How do I replace a tire,” I type it in, word for word, and I will obtain millions of ...

IBM says that the problem is because of the rapid expansion of information and technology we as humans cannot keep up with the increase. Access to information is becoming rampant through the creation of wireless and handheld devices. These devices need a standard of production and connection to provide the greatest effect. IBM’s solution is a computer network that is “flexible, accessible, and transparent.” (The Solution, IBM Research) The system will...

To further shore up his "IT as commodity" theory, Carr cites the fact that major technology vendors, such as Microsoft and IBM, are positioning themselves as "IT utilities," companies that control the provision of business applications over "the grid." Couple this IT-as-utility trend with the rapidly decreasing cost of processing power, data storage and transmission, and even the most "cutting-edge IT capabilities quickly become available to all."
Product Characteristics: diverse; customers can receive top end service through to low cost travel and ongoing international hook-ups.
Virtualization technologies provide isolation of operating systems from hardware. This separation enables hardware resource sharing. With virtualization, a system pretends to be two or more of the same system [23]. Most modern operating systems contain a simplified system of virtualization. Each running process is able to act as if it is the only thing running. The CPUs and memory are virtualized. If a process tries to consume all of the CPU, a modern operating system will pre-empt it and allow others their fair share. Similarly, a running process typically has its own virtual address space that the operating system maps to physical memory to give the process the illusion that it is the only user of RAM.

The way we interact with the world around us has developed significantly since the first desktop computers. First access to the internet for general, public use was really only available to those who were able to afford the large, expensive desktop computer systems, but as computing evolved and smaller, higher performing systems were becoming more available and affordable, our dependence on having this connection to the internet was also developing. The trend continues to grow with the conti...
