Practical applications of cloud computing

Cloud Computing can be practically used to host any kind of web application. Some of the common applications hosted on the cloud are CRM, email archiving system, payroll processing and so on. The conditions below outline the most preferred cases where Cloud Computing can yield the maximum benefits:


  •  Resource-hungry applications: Applications that demand many resources like the CPU, memory, storage or time can be hosted on the cloud efficiently.
  • Applications with extreme spikes and troughs: Consider the example of an HR system that is accessed by employees only a few times in a year. However, on the review day, every employee in the organisation logs onto the system thus slowing down the system. Such applications with varying utilisation rates are most suitable to be hosted on the cloud.
  • Special Server Configuration: When applications demand non-standard settings, the cloud server is a much easier option to be configured to perfectly fit the requirements.
  • Backup and Recovery: This is the most common application of cloud as it is clearly more expensive to manage the entire duplicate infrastructure. Cloud backup solutions are safe, reliable and cost-efficient.

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...

Cloud Computing architecture

Cloud computing architecture refers to all components and sub-components that together form the structure of the cloud computing system. This architecture can be divided into three parts for better understanding – front end, back end and middleware. Each part of the cloud architecture has its own set of functionalities and protocols that work together to deliver on-demand services to user-facing hardware as well as software. In general, the architecture is evolved out of large distributed network applications over the last two decades. Hence it supports any system where resources can be pooled and partitioned as required. The general cloud architecture is capable of running multiple software applications running on multiple virtual hardware in multiple locations to efficiently render on-demand services to the users. The users could be using these software applications from their desktop or laptop or mobile or tablets. Usually, whatever the user is looking at – through t...

What is technical analysis?

 Technical Analysis (also abbreviated as TA) is a popular technique that allows you to do just that. It not only helps you develop a point of view on a particular stock or index but also helps you define the trade keeping in mind the entry, exit and risk perspective.  Like all research techniques, Technical Analysis also comes with its own attributes, some of which can be highly complex. However, technology makes it easy to understand. Technical Analysis is a research technique to identify trading opportunities in market based on the actions of market participants. The actions of market participants can be visualized by means of a stock chart. Over time, patterns are formed within these charts and each pattern conveys a certain message. The job of a technical analyst is to identify these patterns and develop a point of view. Like any research technique, technical analysis stands on a bunch of assumptions. As a practitioner of technical analysis, you need to trade the markets k...
