What is Cloud
Computing
Cloud computing is a
model for enabling
convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared
pool of configurable
computing resources that
can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal
management effort or
service provider
interaction.

Simply put...
It’s anytime, anywhere computing—
without the user ever having to know
much about the technology.
“The Cloud” is another term for the
internet. It’s primary purpose is to
store your data and make it accessible
from anywhere.
Prime examples of cloud service
would be Facebook, YouTube,
Google+, and Myspace.

your files from any computer or mobile device with

Your data can now be available anywhere you can connect to
the internet. This means you can:

Cloud Storage Limitations
1.Cloud storage requires good upload bandwidth to back up
your large image files files.
2.Restoring your files from cloud storage will also require
good download bandwidth if you want to do it quick.
3.Although there is a very low risk of data loss on the cloud, I
highly recommend against using it as primary backup.
4.Cloud storage is typically much more expensive than local
storage for large amounts of data. If your photo library is
over 500 GB, it will probably be cheaper to keep it offsite
locally.
Before you get all excited, there are somethings you need to
know:
11
Sunday, 2 June, 13
Cloud Storage Limitations (continued...)
5.Some cloud storage providers limit the maximum size of
files you can upload to their system. For example, Flickr
limits image sizes to 20 MB for Pro accounts.
6.Access to files is sometimes restricted to a certain web
page. If you use public/community cloud storage, you can
only access your files through their website. Because of
this, you will probably see ads and the company and can
change photo presentation format and layout any time they
want.
