Cloud Computing Projects:
Cloud Computing has many applications, hence, there are many examples. I have discussed a few of them below.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud Hosting has replaced the concept of conventional web hosting. In conventional web hosting services, customers were unable to expand computing, memory or storage resources. Whenever more resources were required, customers had to migrate to another server. But cloud computing has made it easier to expand resources. It is more scalable and expandable. A customer can expand specific resource which is required, he does not require to upgrade all other resources. He can simply scale server specifications without performing data migrations.
Cloud Data Storage
Conventionally, data were stored in hard disks on a computer, compact discs, memory cards, USB and other such storage devices. Data could be accessed only if a user had physical access to any of them. These conventional ways are replaced with cloud data storage. You can access data stored in the cloud from anywhere in the world without physical access to any particular device. Data is accessible from all of your devices, no matter it is mobile or computer.
Cloud Data Storage prevents data loss due to formatting disk or any other accident. Cloud Computing service providers keep backup of all data, hence, there is negligible risk of data loss. In market, you may find Google Drive, One Drive and Dropbox. These are live examples of cloud data storage.
Remote Desktop Protocol
Sometimes you require a computer system with high specifications for the only short term. Let’s take an example if you are a student and your teacher has given you the assignment to perform a task. Suppose that assignment requires Octa-Core Processor with 64 GB RAM, 10 TB storage, 16 GB graphics card etc. Would you buy a computer system to do a single assignment? Such a system would be very expensive and almost unaffordable for students. Here comes the use of remote desktop protocol which allows you to use a computer system.
Remote Desktop Protocol allows you to access a computer system, perform your tasks, install software or do anything just as you do on your computer. Such a computer system is also known as RDP. RDP is placed somewhere in the world which you rent from cloud computing service providers. Service providers like Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Google Gcloud provides user interface to select system hardware specifications as per your requirement and install your desired Operating System.
There are many other examples, you may explore them at your own pace.
