Reframing The Cloud Computing Argument: Managing Inaccurate Perceptions

Reframing The Cloud Computing Argument: Managing Inaccurate Perceptions

Human rationality is quickly becoming a castaway in the study of economics and psychology. That humans make decisions irrationally is an irrefutable precept as evidenced by empirical research. What these studies have uncovered is than when it comes to dealing with the emotions that naturally arise in the decision making process, avoiding risk trumps rational decision-making.

Can We Afford The Resources We Spend On The Cloud?

Can We Afford The Resources We Spend on the Cloud?

We often think about the Cloud in terms of security, services provided, storage space and price so it is fairly easy to forget about the resources that are needed to keep the Cloud floating in the blue, virtual sky.

Cloud Computing Crunches Mind-boggling Data In Advanced Treatment

Cloud Computing Crunches Mind-boggling Data in Advanced Treatment

One of the major breakthroughs of cloud computing is the trend of leveraging investment costs during advanced treatment. For example, it might require a set of interlinked computers, in their thousands, to configure the human genome in a normal bureaucratic situation. This would require the health institution to purchase thousands of equipment to conduct the experiment. Still, it might take years to systemize the little gains made in mapping the DNA strand while investment and operational costs are still multiplying. The trend now is the reverse situation. The multiple computers will be in a remote locale and all the resources, including networked data from other research centers, in the medical industry, will be spot-on for accessing. The medics will only be paying for the space and amount of time they have spent during their advanced investigations in the medical sphere. ...

Cloud Telemetry To Make Vehicle Users Safer On The Roads

Cloud Telemetry to Make Vehicle Users Safer on the Roads

It might appear like rocket science, but black boxes that are usually the last sign of life after an air crash may be transmuting into automobile effects. These will be able to tell every practical detail of what happens prior to and in the aftermath of a collision. They will even supply all details pertaining to the occupants, whether they are alright or maimed. However, this comes after an accident occurs: what cloud computing is concentrating on now is to save a life before such an occurrence. Automakers are relying on telemetry, the science of using remote surveillance to encode data and alert the user about an impending mischance. ...

How Good Do You Feel About Your Cloud Security?

When most of us think about our online security, we tend to feel very pleased about ourselves because none of our friends are able to guess our password. And, as far as personal privacy is concerned, we are right to assume that our friends, acquaintances, and the occasional stalker are all that we have to guard against.
