I often tell them that cloud computing does not equal the internet or vice-versa, the internet is simply the best delivery platform that cloud computing can make use of. You can have a cloud computing infrastructure totally isolated from the internet and it is called a private cloud network. Still, some private cloud networks are made to be accessible via the internet, but the argument still stands that cloud computing does not automatically mean or require the internet. What makes

Does The Flat Model Offer Enough Security In Cloud Computing? The kind of network model that one employs to compile, distribute and exchange data determines the security of its passage through the Internet. This brings the question of whether the flat model can serve as the best security option for cloud computing. This model, first of all, helps to create a more direct relationship between the data provider and the recipient compared to tiered structures. Tiered structures are networks that have not only the access and the core but other integrated endpoints within the distribution path. The flat system only

NASA CTO claims IT help desks on the way out Cloud platforms making dedicated support surplus to requirements Like the 30 spacecraft his agency has launched, Tom Soderstrom, CTO at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, sees everything through the clouds. NASA’s JPL uses 10 public or private clouds to store everything from photos of Mars for public purview, to top secret data. Pretty soon, Soderstrom told attendees at Storage Networking World, data stored by large enterprises like NASA will be measured in exabytes. One exabyte is equal to 1.5 billion CDs or a million terabytes. And, he noted, the only place
