Cloud Computing

Last week we attended a seminar about cloud computing. Let’s see together what are its major advantages :

• Slow computers will become faster using the cloud .
• You can Access from multiple devices .
• No need for backing up for data.
• It stores your data and maintains it , and no one is able to steal  your data  , its impossible to lose the data .
• There is no need to use An USB thus your computer will not be threatened by any viruses.
• If your file has a certain virus, it will not be uploaded on the internet.
• It also fastens your connection instead of sending attachment you can send the link to  cloud compounding .If your email has certain mistakes , you don’t need  to resend it again , you  can access cloud computing and then you can edit it .

There are different types of cloud computing :

• Storage only type systems : saves your data on cloud .
• Software as a service: allows you to use programs on internet ( word ,excel , Photoshop).
• Paas ( platform as a service )  : a service that allows users to create saas application.
• Google for education: unlimited storage.
• Hybrid systems .
• Google print: you can print form multiple locations and devices ,you  should have Google chrome  and an hp print .
• Cloud antivirus: Which  is faster and lighter than traditional antivirus.

Cloud computing Security ranges from minimum to high. But cloud computing has certain limitations in which the Administrator of the university and of Google can see/delete your data , so if you uploaded important things and you didn’t save them on another device and the Administer of Google decides to delete your data , you will lose your data forever .So make sure that you save your data at least on two devices or services .
