Cloud Computing
The trend for the Cloud Computing has been compared to the development of electricity network a century ago. At that time companies stopped to produce their own power and instead plugged in to a national electricity grid. In the same way individuals and organizations can now connect to a cloud of computing resources to carry out international activities.
Cloud Computing thanks to its centralized resources can be beneficial to any size of business. Any company and indeed anybody can now connect to software or hardware as an online utility. This means, few companies now have to invest in a large scale computing infrastructure.
In tandem with web 2.0 (which is widely used in E-Learning applications development), Cloud Computing has the potential to change the face of the entire computing industry.
This means that customers can nowadays score great advantages using this technology that they could not obtain before:
-
Cloud Computing applications are simpler and faster to use;
-
No advance payment is required for servers and storage usage;
-
No extra operational expenses for running datacenter;
-
User has access to the application from anywhere and at any time.
Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet, have boosted interest in Cloud Computing.
Cloud Computing Technologies in Use
iTec Group follows the latest trends in the computing industry that’s why we also turn our attention to Cloud Computing as well. Using these technologies our specialists can develop powerful Internet applications and deliver the solutions our customers really need at any moment. Using Elastic Cloud Computing technology users obtain flexible and scalable hardware infrastructure. User pays only reliable cost-saving processing infrastructure and the related services.
Actually we are using the following technologies:
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a set of different web servicesdistributed over the Internet by Amazon.com. AWS provide online services for other web sites or client-side applications. Most of these services are not offered directly to ultimate users, but instead provide functionality that other software developers can use. Amazon Web Services’ offerings can be accessed overHTTP, using REST and SOAP protocols. To users’ convenience all services are billed on usage. With AWS the user can obtain flexible and scalable compute power, storage, and other services granting access to a suite of IT infrastructure services as your business needs them. With AWS the user has the opportunity to choose whichever development platform or programming model is the suitable for the problems to solve. AWA being one of the most cost-saving Cloud Computing models is an effective way to deliver the application to the customers and clients.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides scalable compute power in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Amazon EC2’s has a simple web service interface which allows the user to get and configure capacity according to his needs with minimal costs. It grants total control of one’s computing resources. Amazon EC2 considerably cuts down on the time required to obtain new server instances, allowing quick scalable capacity, as user’s requirements change. Amazon EC2 allows you to pay only for capacity that you actually use which completely changes company’s IT infrastructure economics. Amazon EC2 provides developers with the tools to create fail-safe software products and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.
Microsoft Azure. The main goal of Microsoft Azure is to provide developers writing applications that are partially and/or entirely run in a remote datacenter with a platform and set of related tools and services. It is a system that dynamically manages and controls process flow so as to allow operating systems to be patched without shutting down a running application, as well as enable production code to be brought with any trouble online after updates. In this respect, Azure can also be considered a framework for location-agnostic distributed applications.
Google App Engine lets the user run his web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to develop, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as user’s traffic and data storage needs change. With this technology there are no servers to maintain by the ultimate user: the client just uploads his application, and it is ready to serve his users. Google App Engine supports software products developed in several programming languages and compatible with: Java runtime environment, Python runtime environment. These runtime environments grant that your application runs quickly and securely.
