Planning Kaskus Cloud Wake

"The plan we want to create their own cloud ... this server will be using that startup-local startup that do not want a headache ngurusin ITnya backend," explained Andrew Dervish, Chief Technology Officer to PCplus Kaskus, in his office, yesterday. Wow, what tuh cloud? The term one is often translated as well as cloud computing.

Cloud computing itself is a computational activity that is not bound by location. The location here means, the server as a resource for computing and data storage for storing computation results you've done can be stored anywhere. Not tied to one particular device. So, you can access it from any device, whether PC, Smartphone, and other. Penyimpannya large computing needs and can be adjusted to the needs.

For example, when you sign up for email service, usually you can choose how much storage will email you create. The larger email storage you choose, the consequences you have to pay more. Cloud computing is indeed generally we meet as a service via the Internet. In addition to email, file storage services such 4shared and dropbox, also implement a similar system. Similarly with the blog service providers, like wordpress or blogger.

In cloud computing, users typically do not have the infrastructure, like storage or server. Thus, the system is based on the use of leases. Users can increase the resources used when the need arose, and lowered it at any time when not many needs.

Flexibility like this is offered by a number of IT vendors to large institutions, such as for example the company, which already has its own infrastructure. The problem has been happening inefficiency in data centers and enterprise. When the demand for increased computing and data centers are not able to comply, the company would have to purchase new hardware. Often the increase in computing this only happens at certain times only. Suppose that at the time Lebaran for telecommunications companies, where communication traffic increases dramatically. At the end of the month for financial firms, where they must enter a report. Moreover, these devices do not alias nganggurnya more optimal use. In fact, according to Jurius, FSI-MDI Director of Enterprise Business HP Indonesia, "The resources were only used up 30% of its course."

To that end, IT vendors such as HP, then offers the flexibility of cloud computing to be applied in data centers and institutions. They also used the term to name the private cloud solutions they offer, Although actual use of the term is subject to dispute because the law against cloud that without ownership of infrastructure,

Benefits offered by adopting cloud computing is similar to the benefits of utility computing through the flexibility to increase or reduce the resources used to use existing resources and capacity for recovery in the event of failure. This ability is usually done using virtualization and automation systems.

Well, somewhat complicated huh? Hehe, who would forward it PCplus interview with the founder of this in the next edition Kaskus yes ...
