Do you know what is cloud computing? What should be the upcoming features of your computer? Who are your service provider and what is IT? If you do not know or is a student of computer application Advance, you’re in the right place to help them understand right from its definition, essential and the cloud computing model and its key service providers and the challenges . You will not know when the new computer technology has entered your home and office and make redundant to your expensive equipment and applications. It does not depend on your hardware is newer and what is your investment in computers, you will be tempted to declare it obsolete. Do not worry; you do not need to pay for the purchase of a new computer. But you must pay a monthly charge of your service providers of new computer technology, as you pay for your phone and your Internet service provider. Being a student of Masters in Computer Application, I can help you understand your rights to understand cloud computing. Defining Cloud Computing 1. There is a pool of short, highly scalable, and management infrastructure to accommodate the demands of the end customer and billing of consumption. 2. It is a style of computing in which the evolutionary dynamics and often virtualized resources are provided as a service on the Internet. 3. It is a new approach to shared infrastructure in which large pools of systems are linked together to provide technology services to the Internet. 4. It provides the infrastructure and environment to develop / host / run services and applications on demand, with pay as-you-go pricing as a service. What is Cloud Computing? Cloud Computing is computing on the Internet. There is a computer network access to shared pool of resources configurable. 5 Essentials of cloud computing are wide network access, on request, the pooling of resources, regional independence, “Infinite” scale and measured services. Cloud Grid Computing is the place where you can not know where your computer is in the world. Former model of computer hardware is purchased as a PC software products and applications that the product purchased. Your future cloud computer is to provide services that meet most of your perception of your needs for gaming, PC, network, mobile telephony, health, IPTV, e-learning and a cloud of secure desktop that will operate from anywhere in the world. You might be tempted to enter your office Cloud because it offers unlimited scalability, access to unlimited information technology, huge cost savings and the freedom of computer rankings, reliability and absence of damage on your computer and information resources and development of computer applications, without changing your hardware. Cloud Computing is already in the early stages in some places, Google Docs, Photo Bucket, flamboyant, Picasso, and Android Mobile OS. In India, Airtal and MTNL have facilitated Virtual PC for example. Before becoming the mainstream technology in the world, Cloud Computing, Cloud the main challenges are: 1. Legal (local and international problems of various nations) must be sorted. 2. The software architecture requires updating software available in the world. 3 interoperability standards are to be determined for various computer applications currently used on the Internet. 4. Cloud Computing: demand pay-per-use for scalability are globally agreed. 5. Codes of security companies and security agencies access must be made. 6 Dynamic Network Bandwidth must be updated to cope with the enormous information worldwide. 7. The freedom of individual choice cloud, national and international level should be done.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO KUALA LUMPUR this coming September 20th, as information technology security experts from around the globe â USA, Europe, Middle East . Africa and the Asia Pacific — and global IT key players take part in presenting best practices and high-level tips for IT security strategies, increasing confidence and reducing risks in modern computing technologies, such as cloud computing, among others.The conference will present high-level tips for increasing confidence and reducing the risks in cloud computing technology: bringing together throngs from the IT industry worldwide — security administrators, security architects, senior technologists , security analysts, senior systems engineers, web security managers, security consultants, IT risk managers , among others — as they share industry insights and strategies to strengthen the stronghold against the challenges of IT security.The event, entitled The 4th Annual SecureAsia Congress 2010, is dubbed as ” one of the upcoming major event-conferences in Asia focused on the IT security sector which will provide CIOs, CTOs, business and IT executives with the latest IT security strategies, case-study presentations, growing technologies and the best practices that are vital to fight against the security challenges.”Check out the conference’s sales pitch come-on for its attendees:”This will be a must-attend event for decision makers and IT risk managers, as it offers a platform to network with the leading information security professionals to discuss the latest security issues and challenges. It will give an unrivaled opportunity to improve evocative and useful information related to IT security.”With the advent of cloud computing technology slowly seeping through the Asia Pacific region and now here in the Philippines, drumbeating for this technology is getting louder and louder.Cloud computing technology , simply put, is Internet-based computing, where shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, just like the electricity grid.
Â
With a common host for Internet-based applications shared by interconnected virtual servers, among others, there is no need for computer infrastructure such as servers, no skyrocketing business expenses on software, with “pay-as-you-go” mode via cloud computing technology subscription: minus the hassles of maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure and software.
Â
In a recent report by ComputerWorld Philippines, Singapore-based Information Security Forum (ISF) members revealed that cloud computing changed their information security risk landscape, but they maintain that “they are well-placed to address these security issues.”The ISF is a major independent, not-for-profit authority on information security, dedicated to reducing risk and resolving information security challenges.According to the report: the vote of confidence in cloud computing technology was revealed in the ISF’s latest survey involving more than 300 of the world’s major companies and public sector organizations.
The rapid adoption of cloud computing was identified as one of the top information security challenges in the ISF’s latest Threat Horizon Report, which highlighted concerns on cloud computing focused on managing user identities and credentials, third-party service providers, emerging cloud technologies, protecting against new forms of malware and legal and regulatory issues, as mentioned by ISF senior research consultant Adrian Davis.ISF informs: “In our latest report on cloud computing, we advise members to address five tasks: prepare a strategy; identify the impact on business operations; assess risks to data; ensure that information security is part of the decision-making process; and work under the assumption that cloud computing is already being used within the organization.”In the Philippines, more and more are joining the cloud computing technology bandwagon, among them business industry leaders ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, Jollibee, among others.
IT solutions provider IT Group Inc. (ITG) jumps in the cloud technology joyride as well.”We are moving up the clouds,” says ITG CEO and President Cris Gamboa. The technology’s advantages , such as scalability, dependability, optimized performance regardless of location , preserved functionalities even during upgrades , movement to multiple Virtual Private Servers (VPS) â- all these are part of the ITG decision to go into cloud computing.
Â
“Cloud hosting saves money as acquiring physical servers and software licenses are things of the past, with costs only based on consumption via software-as-a-service (SAAS) subscription. VPS use in the “cloud” conserves electricity, which is part of energy conservation. With data recovery, the said process is easier, faster, and more efficient in case malfunctions occur.”
Â
And on an environment-friendly note: lesser use of computer infrastructure would lead to concerted contributory efforts to ease global warming, energy conservation and promotion of the preservation of the environment.
Â
“ITG is committed to its social responsibility for the community and the environment. More and more companies are making the move from offline business management solutions to cloud computing technology, and now using VPS for low overhead expenses and greener output. Having a single server device , energy is conserved , carbon emissions are reduced , and business processes become simplified and cost-effective.”
Â
Gamboa points out: Philippine businesses are producing metric tons of carbon yearly, contributing greatly to global warming. ITG’s move to switch to cloud computing technology could pave the way for local industries to follow suit, reevaluate their systems, and also take responsibility for a greener environment.

Computer technology- and the Internet in particular- is changing the way we conduct out lives in some pretty dramatic ways. One of the most dramatic changes that the Internet has brought us is the ability to take more control over how we communicate with each other by telephone and how we spend our money on phone service.
The specific technology that allows this is called Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VOIP for short. Voice Over Internet Protocol takes advantage the fact that data moves across the Internet without any of the constraints of conventional telephone calls when it comes to geography and distance. Just like you can send an email to anyone, anywhere in the world and download a web page from anywhere in the world without incurring long distance charges, Voice Over Internet Protocol technology allows you to call anyone in the world either without long distance fees or with sharply discounted long distance fees. Basically, VOIP converts both ends of a phone conversation into data that can be streamed back and forth across the Internet without any loss of sound quality or noticeable time lag. This revolutionary technology also makes it possible to for users of VOIP to call phone numbers that don’t use VOIP technology as well as the other way around.
VOIP technology has actually been around since the late twentieth century. In those days though, the service was rather limited. For example, calls were only made using computers and, though calls between users of VOIP services were free, there was still a long distance charge for calls made from a VOIP user to a conventional phone number. Users of VOIP technology still saw the benefit of the service when calling conventional phone numbers in the form of reduced long distance rates.
Now there are a number of services offering calling plans based on Voice Over Internet Protocol technology, including well known companies like Verizon and Vonage, as well as lesser known companies like SunRocket and Lingo. While there is a fair amount of variation in their services, these companies have a lot in common, including the improvements that they’ve made over the original VOIP services. Generally, these modern VOIP services offer free long distance inside the United States- often with Canada and Puerto Rico included- to any phone number whether it’s conventional or one that also uses VOIP. There’s still a long distance fee for most international calls, but most services will waive that fee if the number you’re calling uses the same service. Another big improvement over the original services is that most of these newer companies will let you use your own phone rather than a computer. In fact, in most cases, you don’t even have to have a computer at all! Although a computer is helpful for changing account settings on the service’s website and you can still make phone calls from a computer, all you really need is a high speed Internet connection and your own phone. The service will supply a special router that plugs into your Internet connection and that you can, in turn, plug your phone into. Such a set up is also very practical in the sense that allows you to use your phone just like you would with a conventional phone line. Both DSL and cable high speed Internet connections are ample for this service, but if you happen to have a cable connection, you can save even more money by getting rid of your phone line completely. Most VOIP services add even more value by providing all of the features free of charge that you would ordinarily pay extra for from a conventional phone service and charging a monthly rate that’s equivalent to- and often lower than- a basic phone line from a conventional telephone company.
If you’re looking for a flexible way to keep in touch while saving money, then VOIP may be exactly the technology that you’re looking for.

The image that the word “technology” conjures up changes with every new generation. A century ago, it might have brought forth images of spinning gears, factory smoke stacks, or electricity flowing through wires. A few decades ago, it probably produced images of televisions, tape players, and transition radios.
Today however, thoughts about computers, computer software, and the World Wide Web undoubtedly spring forth whenever technology is mentioned.
Educational technology, too, has evolved with the availability and growth of technology. A hundred years ago, mechanical gear-driven machines were used to print school books quickly. A few decades ago, VHS videos and tape recordings were used to assist teachers and help students learn various subjects.
Today, educational technology is making full use of the Internet and powerful computers running powerful software to teach students faster and better than ever before.
Educational Technology: More Than Fancy Computer Programs
Although advancing computer technology has helped advance educational technology, it would not be where it is today without the centuries of tireless work from the world’s educators and teachers along with psychological studies that have been done in order to learn more about the human brain and how it learns new things.
Thanks in part to advanced computer models and imaging technology that are able to provide heat maps of brain activity, education specialists have been able to come to a better understanding about how we learn and retain, bringing about a new understanding.
With this vital new knowledge, computer programmers have been able to write powerful new software programs that are specifically designed to assist teachers and teach students in a manner that is conducive to the human brain’s method of learning.
Educational software today is capable of assessing student’s automatically, gauging their progress, sending reports to teachers, making recommendations, and so much more. And thanks to the work of centuries of observations from teachers and child psychologists, students today are able to take advantage of modern educational technology to advance farther and faster than any previous generation.
Teachers who take advantage of modern educational technology tend to have students that excel and have a higher rate of advancing to higher levels of learning, high school graduation, and college attendance. Furthermore, students that once would have been dismissed as unteachable by experts in the past are now advancing and learning in ways that most people could have never dreamed possible just 30 or 40 years ago.
Thanks to educational technology, every student can do more with their education, and more students can receive more advanced education then their parents received.
