Cloud Technology

 What is The Cloud?

• Cloud computing lets you keep information on

a remote server (the cloud), instead of
trapped in a computer.
• You can access your data from a smartphone,
a tablet, a laptop, or a desktop—wherever you
have an Internet connection.
• Some cloud services let you share files.
• It’s also an easier way to transfer large files.
 How Do You Use It?
• After picking a cloud service, log in to the
service’s site to upload files, or download the
application to your computer, then drag and
drop files as you would to a hard drive.
• To access files on the go, download the
service’s mobile app.
• Any changes to a document are synced across
all your devices.

 But is It Safe?
• The idea of all this important information floating around in
the universe may make you nervous. But if you use Gmail
or Flickr, you’re already storing messages, attachments, and
photos in the cloud. Much of the data is securely
encrypted, so even the employees of these services are not
able to get into your files. Also, each provider usually has
backup servers on multiple continents. “These companies
have invested for earthquake shocks, physical security—
you name it,” says James Kudla, a specialist in cloud
computing and the president of Tarrytech Computer
Consultants, in Tarrytown, New York.
