World Future IT is on Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is expected to change IT in large companies because it enables enterprises of any size to exploit economies of scale and benefit from paying only the resources that are used alone.

many aspects of computerization that has been (or will be) available in the form of cloud services: Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) and Amazon Services, Microsoft Windows Azure, VMWare vCloud and Eucalyptus and Cloudera that open source provides komputansi, networking and storage capacity of the elastic. as well as Software as a Service (SAAS) and Platform as a Service (PASS).

With cloud computing, heterogeneity has become a major characteristic of komputansi. Resources in the cloud can be proprietary or open-source or a mixture of both.

With the growth of cloud computing, it is increasingly important for policy makers to ensure that domestic policies do not favor a particular technology. Not only to meet the needs of global trade, international law and the interests of economic growth, it also allows domestic companies to reap huge profits from the opportunities provided by cloud computing.

Therefore, Saw saw the public sector actually have an interest in applying cloud computing. "Currently, the development of data is a major challenge for the public sector," he revealed.

Microsoft, he said, continues to garner work with governments to help understand all of this data. "Cloud became attractive proposition for the data than are sensitive because it offers unlimited processing capabilities," said Saw.

Although, Saw admitted, the government can resistant to Cloud Computing technology.
