Cloud Computing!!

Hi friends,

Cloud Computing helps programs to jump from our own desktops to servers elsewhere and it promises to make our data accessible from anywhere. It will enable web-based collaboration with teams around the world.

The cloud movement will see a major leap forward in the first half of 2010 with the launch of “Office Web Apps,” free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote released in tandem with Microsoft Office 2010.

Google also looks to be a strong player in the space with rumors of a “GDrive” that will give users infinite storage.


Imagine being able to work from anywhere with anyone. Wait, you can already do that! The new versions of these programs will make it easier to use any computer and access any program or file, pushing these type of applications into the mainstream. While many cloud enthusiasts believe this could be the death of the PC, we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. That old dog still has a few years left.

Save Money:Running your own data center was an expensive headache. Cloud computing eliminates the cost by outsourcing this task.

Leveling the Playing Field: Advanced business systems were previously out of reach for small business owners due to the cost. Cloud computing will allow small businesses to compete with similar tools as much larger companies.
