Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing

1. cost

   • You can only pay for the storage you use
   • You do not have to provide and maintain the hardare

2. cloud computing is where data is saved on external servers instead of the users hard drive. the external servers are called hosts and are owned by a host company some well known companies are drop box and google cloud users can access software and data by their hosting company

3. ubiquitous computing

   • RFID chips: radio frequency identification chips are away to embed processors into everyday objects
   • ubiquitous means existing everywhere ubiquitous computing means processors are embeded into everyday objects
   • The internet of objects is a concept which looks at the internet as things rather than data as more objects have processors built in this creates a network of physical items this includes devices products and even people themselves
   • ubiquitous computing can be integrated into many parts of normal life
