Editor's Notes
- Hi, my name is Anna Huang. My name is Kimberly Veliz. Our topic today would be talking about cloud storage tools.
- We are going to talk about the definitions, types, examples, safety, advantages, disadvantages of cloud storage.
- Cloud Storage is a service model in which data is maintained, managed and backed up remotely and made available to users over a network (typically the Internet). It is accessible from any computer. It is outrageously convenient! All my photos, calendar information, contacts goes through cloud storage.
- - So a person subscribes to a cloud storage service that needs one data server that is connected to the Internet. Then the person sends copies of filesover the Internet to the data server. -When the person wants to receive the information, he or she can access the data server through a webbased interface.
- Use this slide to amplify and show the distribution of cloud storage As you can see on the picture above the distribution of cloud storage
- This cloud is open to the public. Everyone can use it. Sometimes it is free and sometimes it requires a fee. Example of a public cloud:wikipediahttp://content.delmar.cengage.com/CPReader/View/9781133961413/default.aspx?token=54CCC7DCE9DF72EB3581A4D99B33C8E84200449D74078314FE7099059564086C2759BC029E1C8BF8D77B7B45A6560753&pid=463447&eISBN=9781133961413&titleIsbn=9781133961420#84562c18-bafa-44db-b10d-2142e630f4f8
- A private cloud is usually created by a service holder for a company. The information can only be seen by the company itself. An example of this would be Racespace which offers private cloud service management for the company. http://content.delmar.cengage.com/CPReader/View/9781133961413/default.aspx?token=54CCC7DCE9DF72EB3581A4D99B33C8E84200449D74078314FE7099059564086C2759BC029E1C8BF8D77B7B45A6560753&pid=463447&eISBN=9781133961413&titleIsbn=9781133961420#84562c18-bafa-44db-b10d-2142e630f4f8
- A hybrid cloud is a combination of both public and private clouds. How this works is when business and organizations have common interest can experience pooling their cloud resources and when clouds connect, it becomes a hybrid cloud.http://content.delmar.cengage.com/CPReader/View/9781133961413/default.aspx?token=54CCC7DCE9DF72EB3581A4D99B33C8E84200449D74078314FE7099059564086C2759BC029E1C8BF8D77B7B45A6560753&pid=463447&eISBN=9781133961413&titleIsbn=9781133961420#84562c18-bafa-44db-b10d-2142e630f4f8
- Android is best supporter.Google is not yet updated to the rest of them. Advantages: can create documents with it and Iworkand microsoft word files don’t take up space. Require google account 5GB for free storage Google Play: Store books and songs online and on android phone. It limits the amount of song 20,000 rather than set amount of space in gigabytes. Unlimited space for ebooks and can use to PLAY to rent movies but not store them in cloud. http://lifehacker.com/5911022/what-cool-things-can-i-do-with-all-this-free-cloud-storage-space
