Ever heard of cloud computing? It’s basically a loose term that refers to a combination of software application and services from PCs to centralized data centers available through the internet and can be accessed on demand 24/7.
At the forefront using cloud computing technology is Amazon, Yahoo, Google, Sun, IBM and as of late, Microsoft, among others.
Microsoft recently introduced its “Live Mesh system”. Microsoft views this as a software platform in the data center for an evolving array of services, ranging from remote control of computers and electronic devices to data storage.
IBM on the other hand, has a system dubbed as “Blue Cloud”. This enables banks and other customers distribute their programs across large numbers of machines to deliver faster, more sophisticated data analysis.
Amazon, Yahoo and Google use their APIs to help users integrate their own sites seamlessly with the various services they are offering.
So if you’re interested in catching the next big wave, now is the time to join the bandwagon, who knows, you might have an idea or two that could radically change the way we do things online.
