to the Internet user as an Internet service. The word "cloud" is here as a metaphor for a complex
infrastructure that hides all the technical details. computer resources and capabilities are
provided. The user has access to his data, but does not control it and does not have to worry
about the infrastructure, operating system and software he is running. The term "cloud" is used
as a metaphor based on the image of the Internet in a computer network diagram, or as a
representation of a complex infrastructure in which all technical details are hidden. According to
an IEEE document published in 2008, "Cloud computing is a paradigm in which information is
permanently stored on Internet servers and temporarily stored by the client, for example, on
personal computers, game consoles , laptops, smartphones, etc. Cloud data processing as a
concept includes:
1.
infrastructure as a service
2.
platform as a service
3.
software as a service
4.
data as a service
5.
workplace as a service
Other technological trends in which there is a general belief that the Internet can meet the needs
of users to process data. The most important feature for cloud technologies is the uneven demand
of users for Internet resources. To eliminate this unevenness, another intermediate layer is used -
server virtualization. Thus, the load is distributed between virtual servers and computers.
Cloud technologies - This is one big concept that includes different concepts that provide
services. For example, software, infrastructure, platform, data, workplace, etc. Why is all this
necessary? What is cloud computing not called? The first is offline computing on a local
computer. Second, "utility computing" (utility computing) when the service is instructed to
perform particularly complex calculations or store a series of data. Thirdly, it is collective
(distributed) computing (gridcomputing). In practice, the boundaries between all these types of
calculations are quite blurred. However, the future of cloud computing is much larger than that
of distributed systems.
Cloud data storage - An online storage model in which data is stored on many servers distributed
over a network and made available for use by customers, mainly third parties. In contrast to a
model that is purchased or rented specifically for these purposes in order to store data on its own
dedicated servers, the number of servers or any internal structure is not visible to the client at all.
Data is stored and processed in the so-called cloud, which represents one large virtual server
from the client's point of view. Physically, such servers can be located far from each other , even
on different continents. To understand what "cloud" is, it is necessary to start with the history of
this issue. You need to understand: does this technology really belong to the category of new
ideas or is this idea not so new.
