Cloud Computing and Virtualisation 2
Virtualisation and Cloud Computing
Task 1
Cloud storage, which is also known as utility storage, 1can be defined as defined as the data
storage within online data centres, so that an organization's data is warehoused in as well as
accessible from numerous connected and distributed resources which embrace a cloud.
Additionally, cloud storage is a model of cloud computing in which data, information files
are stored on distant servers retrieved from the cloud or internet 2. Besides, it is usually
maintained, managed and operated through cloud storage service providers on data storage
servers which are fabricated on intelligent virtualization techniques 3. On the other hand,
there are so many unaware consumers, who are already using cloud storage-enabled services,
containing social media, e-mail, online gaming and several other mobile applications 4.
Task 2
For ADA there are two recommended non-cloud devices, as follows:
Device 1: NAS
Network-attached storage (referred as NAS) is a non-cloud storage device that is based on
file-level data storage server which is attached to a computer network allowing a mixt group
of clients for accessing the data from NAS. Besides, NAS is focussed for storing and
providing files either through its software, hardware or configuration. Though the device
NAS is like another computer, still it is still restricted from the drives’ size installed by you 5.
Device 2: DVD/BR discs
As we know the use of computer internal drives, USB devices, and SD cards, none of them
are utilizable for ever. Thus, for the long time storage we should prefer archive quality
DVD/BR discs, because they may last for many decades at least. Moreover, DVD-R is the
most compatible format, as it is readable through almost all DVD players. Besides, DVDs are
easily readable from DVD drives of computers, and home DVD players 5.
