What is Cloud VPS Hosting

Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is a new technology that enables a computer system to run with shared resources over internet. Cloud service provider offers to their clients to host their files and data in a centralized server so that they can access those data from any computer system. Not only file hosting, but also other resources like application software can be accessed through cloud network. There are usually three kinds of services are available in the market:

1. Software-as-a-Service,
2. Platform-as-a-Service and,
3. Infrastructure-as-a-Service.

Now there are some specific operating system is available that uses cloud technology efficiently. One of the most famous cloud OS is Google Chrome OS which is available on ‘Chrome book’. Adobe AIR, Microsoft Azure etc. are some famous cloud service software. In cloud system compatibly is much more higher than usual system, because the application it uses are hosted in a common server, thus each and every user can use exactly same version of any application with auto update a patching features. It is much easier to Administer.

Limitations of Cloud Service

Though cloud service has a wide range of compatibility and features, but still there are some limitation problems that may occur in some cases. Like big companies cannot always trust any other organization with their data, and business secrets. Also many companies have already invested too much in physical data storage that they cannot move their entire system to cloud computing. In that situation it is wiser to create private cloud system rather than buying services from other organizations. But it was very costly and technically complex to create one’s own cloud system.

Changed Scenario

Although in past times creating a personalized cloud system was very difficult and complex, but now with the modern technology use can easily configure their own cloud with the help of other third party service provider. These services are provided by many companies. Linux operating system like Ubuntu is now also providing an infrastructure to create private cloud using local network and a bridge through which these private clouds can interact with the public cloud. Many service providers also allow their clients to choose environment, specifications and other aspects of a personalized cloud. Client can now move their application and data into a cloud very easily. That is why in the changed scenario many IT Companies are now leaning toward cloud computing. With the rising popularity of the cloud computing, the new technologies are coming to scene.

Advantage and Disadvantage

Like every technology Cloud also have some advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of cloud computing is flexibility and compatibility. And also accessibility is one of its strength. But beside that there is also some cons in there. Usually the main problem in a cloud system is ‘work load’. As all the processing loads and data are stored in centralized system, that may lead to an overloaded condition. Also security is another issue. As it stays in online server, it may be vulnerable to advance breaching threats. But despite of all these issues, it is unavoidable that cloud computing has brought a new era in the world of Information Technology.
