Cloud computing services

Cloud computing services today vary widely in how they are packaged and labeled. But lift the lid, and all cloud services tend to have the same basic cloud computing infrastructure. It's this common infrastructure that enables these services to deliver the characteristic benefits of cloud computing.

Cloud Computing Infrastructure Fundamentals
Clouds can be public or private and offer any number of IT capabilities "as a Service". Given this variety, just what does cloud mean in terms of infrastructure?

While cloud services may differ in implementation detail, they share these common cloud computing infrastructure elements:
Pervasive virtualization. Without virtualization—and the consequent ability to use pooled IT resources flexibly and efficiently—it's hard to imagine cloud computing. Cloud computing infrastructure typically utilizes storage and network virtualization as well as server virtualization.
Pervasive automation. To meet unpredictable user demands and meet them instantaneously, cloud services make use of software that automates the provisioning and scaling of compute, storage, and networking resources

Cloud Computing Infrastructure Extends Beyond the Data Center
A critical but often overlooked dimension of cloud architecture is the public Internet. In most cases, end users interface with cloud services through the Internet and consequently cloud service performance is susceptible to the inherent variability of the Internet. This is true even for private enterprise cloud services, if users are geographically dispersed or access the service through mobile devices.

Pengertian Komputer

Di kutip dari Wikipedia, Komputer adalah alat yang dipakai untuk mengolah data menurut prosedur yang telah dirumuskan. Kata computer pada awalnya dipergunakan untuk menggambarkan orang yang perkerjaannya melakukan perhitungan aritmetika, dengan atau tanpa alat bantu, tetapi arti kata ini kemudian dipindahkan kepada mesin itu sendiri. Asal mulanya, pengolahan informasi hampir eksklusif berhubungan dengan masalah aritmetika, tetapi komputer modern dipakai untuk banyak tugas yang tidak berhubungan dengan matematika. Dalam arti seperti itu terdapat alat seperti slide rule, jenis kalkulator mekanik mulai dari abakus dan seterusnya, sampai semua komputer elektronik yang kontemporer. Istilah lebih baik yang cocok untuk arti luas seperti "komputer" adalah "yang mengolah informasi" atau "sistem pengolah informasi." Selama bertahun-tahun sudah ada beberapa arti yang berbeda dalam kata "komputer", dan beberapa kata yang berbeda tersebut sekarang disebut ...

3D bioprinting

Erik Gatenholm first saw a 3D bioprinter in early 2015. His father, Paul, a professor in chemistry and biopolymer technology at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, had bought one for his department. It cost somewhere in the region of $200,000. “My father was like, ‘This thing can print human organs,’” Gatenholm recalls, still awestruck. “I said, ‘Bullshit!’ Then it printed a little piece of cartilage. It wasn’t cartilage, but it was like, this could be cartilage. That was the moment when it was like, ‘This is frickin’ cool!’” Gatenholm, who had long owned a regular 3D printer, decided then that he wanted to do something in 3D bioprinting. His language might be a bit Bill & Ted – he grew up between Sweden and the US, where his father is a visiting professor – but his intent and ambitions are very serious. Gatenholm had started his first biotech company aged 18 and he realised that if this machine had the potential to print organs, like his father said, then it had the...

Internet marketing strategy

One very popular Internet marketing strategy is to publish and distribute an e-newsletter on a regular basis. E-newsletters are essentially emails which may contain content, graphics, links and subtle forms of advertising. In general e-newsletters should be informative in nature and useful to the recipient but should also serve some type of marketing purpose as well. This article will examine e-newsletters and explain how they can be used effectively as a marketing strategy. The first item to consider when attempting using an e-newsletter as a marketing strategy is the distribution list for the e-newsletter. This is very important because you want to ensure you are distributing your e-newsletter to recipients who will be interested in your products and services and will likely view the e-newsletter as worthwhile instead of viewing it as spam. Using deceptive tactics to harvest email addresses and sending out your e-newsletters blindly to a large audience is not a good marketing strat...
