  • The Cloud is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but most people don't have an entirely clear understanding of what it is!

      No, it's a cluster of computers. There's still a lot of companies that rent dedicated servers that do not share resources.

    WHY THEY CALL IT THE CLOUD
    - Originally, the name cloud was given as something that hangs over you wherever you go. You can get access to it from anywhere.

    Why bother setting up an FTP server?
    Just use BitTorrent Sync, it works just like DropBox, except it's faster, it's free, and you have as much storage as your hard drive allows... And it's immensely secure too
    You don't need to sign up for an account, you don't need to pay anything, if you leave a computer running at home you can sync with it from anywhere in the world, and it's super easy to set up...

    You could have explained it much faster: During an IT meeting regarding off-site storage and remote clustering some &$$hole looked at the network diagram and thought he would earn money by coining a new term and offering something which was never intended to be user-accessible as a new service model.
    "You mean it's all out there in that little cloud? Brilliant! We'll call it cloud computing!"
    Engineers refer to it as 'The WAN' or a remote network segment of undefined composition which may or may not be private.

    • @vgamesx1
      @vgamesx1 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know this comment is a little old though, if you really want to know, the easiest way to do it would be to go download BitTorrent Sync, install it onto any other device you have then on your computer where the files you want to access are located, then make a BTsync folder, share the key with the other devices and then copy/move the files you want to be able to access anywhere to that BTsync folder you made, that may have sounded a bit complicated but it really only takes about 10 minutes or so to setup, of course there is also the older FTP method where you run an FTP server and client but that takes some extra steps and messing with your router to be able to setup properly. (also if you if you prefer it, you could try owncloud, supposedly its pretty similar to BTsync but I haven't tried it yet.)

    Around 2:55, i got really confused. How can you upload/download data to cloud storage service faster than the speed that you pay for (for your home network)? When you upload/download data, it is just ones and zeroes, no different than a TH-cam video or a movie being streamed. How is the bandwidth capabilities of the cloud service relevant? If you have a 25Mbps plan with your ISP, then you cannot upload/download _any_ data at speeds higher than that.

    • @johnbarrett4398
      @johnbarrett4398 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think what he is getting at is this...
      A) Your home connection likely has a much slower upload speed than it does download speed. If this is the case, then you download from a service like dropbox at 25mbps at your house, and maybe something like 50mbps at your work. However, if you're at work and download from a DIY solution at home, you might only download at 10mbps.
      B) Services like dropbox will scale well beyond your home connection. Even if you have a 25up/25down connection at home, Dropbox will still be faster at your 50mbps work connection, because Dropbox will scale to 50mbps easily. Or 100mbps, etc. Something your home cannot do unless you pay more for bandwidth....
      C) OK then, what if you just pay for higher bandwidth at your house? Well you could do that, yes, but if you're doing it for the sake of hosting your own cloud storage then why not just pay for cloud storage instead?
      D) If you have something like Google Fiber or a local fiber network in your city that is giving you 100/100mbps or 1/1gbps connections, then yes, your point is relative.
