the origin of cloud computing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s widely believed that an American computer scientist (J.C.R. Licklider) helped create the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network in 1969, the so-called precursor to the Internet (the cloud).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 1970s, the term cloud computing began popping up in infrastructure discussions with the introduction of the first virtual machines. The functionality of these VMs led to the concept of virtualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virtualization&nbsp;depends on software to simulate hardware functionality, creating a virtual machine. The resulting benefits include economy of scale and greater efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_cloud_computing_used_versus_VPS_or_dedicated_servers\"><\/span>Why is cloud computing used versus VPS or dedicated servers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cloud computing&nbsp;makes business continuity more efficient because data can be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider&#8217;s network. The term \u201ccloud\u201d is simply a metaphor for the Internet depicting an abstraction of its underlying infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_cloud_computing_secure\"><\/span>Is cloud computing secure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security is a prominent issue for organizations contemplating adapting the cloud, especially public clouds. This means that there must be significant isolation between them. To remedy this, access to public cloud storage and its resources is isolated by account login credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good number of companies are bound by government regulations. Industry wide, there was an initial hesitation to place data in the public cloud for fear of theft or loss. This hesitation has faded over the years as data&nbsp;encryption&nbsp;and various&nbsp;identity and access management&nbsp;tools have improved security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here again, I highly recommend implementing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/protecting-your-data\/\">disaster recovery solution, either cold, warm or hot<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/protecting-your-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">,<\/a> as your mission critical data is your responsibility. Way too many companies lose their data for any number of unforeseen issues and ultimately lose their business. It\u2019s always better to be proactive rather than reactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_some_of_the_benefits_of_cloud_computing_at_a_data_center\"><\/span>What are some of the benefits of cloud computing at a data center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cost reduction.Certainly, setting up an internal IT network gets pricey really quick. First up, you\u2019d need redundant Internet feeds to your building, and then another huge capital expenditure for servers, routers and switches, plus all of the necessary software. Add on IT personnel working in shifts. Have you researched the expected salaries for sysadmins lately? And then you have to deal with sick time, vacations and benefits like health insurance and on and on. Having cloud infrastructure at a data center eliminates much of that expense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloud computing also reduces downtime since this hardly ever occurs. Downtime can result in thousands or even millions of dollars lost in revenue or productivity. How would two hours or weeks of downtime affect your business or organization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For companies that have very seasonal products or services, like during the Christmas holidays, cloud services are ideal. Cloud computing is highly scalable, unlike VPS or dedicated server services. This eliminates the expenditure for local infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_some_of_the_disadvantages_of_cloud_computing\"><\/span>What are some of the disadvantages of cloud computing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lack of&nbsp;expertise.&nbsp;Let\u2019s face it, <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/resources\/cloud-computing-dictionary\/what-is-cloud-computing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cloud computing<\/a> technologies have greatly evolved over the years and continues to do so. Hiring employees with the proper skill sets and knowledge to keep pace with today\u2019s architectures can be overwhelming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost control. When you\u2019re leasing a VPS or dedicated server, costs are fixed, but with a cloud solution, costs are variable. For example, when you lease a dedicated server, you typically get a specific CPU, an exact amount of RAM and storage, and some sort of bandwidth allowance for a fixed price. The scalability of the cloud, while beneficial to some, does add a variable to the mix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cloud solution is not for everyone, and if not properly managed can result in a colossal mess. Of course, you can say the same for other technologies. We\u2019re just saying look before you leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost RAID Server Solutions\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\"><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
