The Technological Influences on Cloud Computing

Technology is constantly evolving, and with this technological development, cloud computing has to change and evolve with it. In this article we will discuss how advances in technology have influenced the development and implementation of cloud computing by focusing on some of the most important influential.

Open-source software

There is room for open source software in cloud computing, in several different forms, but there is a mixture of opinions about its use. People and organizations using open source software can take advantage of various benefits, including:

No royalties and no need to pay for updates/upgrades
Using Open File formats
Open and accessible source code
Easy to implement and low barriers for new users
New applications can be easily developed and integrated
Software that can be modified and redistributed
Dissolution of the proprietary lock
Proprietary technologies often arise from the use of open source software and cloud providers, which use programs such as Linux to configure services by changing the source code.

Universal Connection

Without universal connectivity (Universal Internet access), cloud computing will not be able to move forward or move forward. Fast broadband networks that are accessible to all allow cloud computing to serve both enterprise, organization, and customer networks. Fortunately, the growth of cloud computing is supported by the continued global expansion of broadband connections.

According to Itfacts.BIZ:

 "Since the total number of broadband lines in the world is 400 000 000, this issue predicts that only 40 of the world's largest broadband countries will grow from 393 000 000 to the end of 2008 to 635 000 000 by 2013 "

Virtualization

Server virtualization has advanced so far that it is no longer considered a cost-cutting method. The possibility of greater flexibility in the use of resources and the growth of cloud computing is being considered. The main advantages of server virtualization are:

More servers can be used quickly
Costs and billing can work around use (also known as delivery prices)
Support for alternative purchases
Clients can be separated from the location of physical servers
Promoting economies of scale
Data servers and datacenters provide application mobility
