Based on your experience or knowledge, provide an example of virtualization or cloud computing. What have been the major impacts of this implementation?
Cloud computing is a service that is delivered over internet to user. This service could be a software or hardware. Software services are nothing but instead of purchasing a software a firm can use this cloud service to develop a code or to perform a specific task. Now a days companies are using this cloud computing services as a cost cutting practices, maintenance free purposes. Companies can be benefitted by using these services but sometimes usage is limited i.e. restricted. For example organizations can use cloud based applications to generate a code or any other task but they can’t modify or manipulate the application according to their needs. Hardware services on cloud are nothing data storage services. Best example for this is Google Drive & Drop box. Google drive service is for individual users any one can have access to this drive by simply creating a user account and they can sync files from local computers to cloud. Drop box is also similar to google drive and they offer special services to business by allotting extra storage, file backup, sharing and collaborating tools and enabling security features. In my previous organization we used drop box. All sales reports, customer designs, customer leads, order forms everything stored in drop box in order to access everywhere. We segregated all files according to each department like accounting people can have access to financial information and marketing people can access sales reports, leads, customer databases. Top level people can have an access to all and they can enable / disable security features for access. Drop box offers many features for small businesses.
