From past few days, indeed months, the cloud computing technology is hovering rapidly over our head since we got introduced with some recent upgrades in the modern everyday technology. In the simple words, cloud computing defines the working and integration of your everyday computing tasks and servers. Founding such systems is not a new deal, as Internet based virtual drives or simply servers are there in the story since last two decades.
However, the cloud will evolve to take up a greater fraction on the duties, till then the only things to be existed at your side will be an input and output devices. Such devices are the most important part of the story to complete your computing tasks. Whatever they should be. A laptop or just a tiny phone. Its just good if they are enough capable of doing such cloud computing tasks.
We are quite familiar with OnLive. They’re offering a cloud gaming platform and a cloud desktop solution. Without any doubt, they’re synchronized, rendered, and stored on remote servers and delivered via the Internet. It is an on demand cloud gaming server, where your network speed is the only limit at your side. So the more bandwidth you have, the more flawless experience you will achieve. With sophisticated stream compression techniques at work, OnLive plans to invade all your devices with games and other computationally intensive applications like 3D modeling and animation.
Final piece in the cloud puzzle is to be discussed here is Homomorphic Encryption. That is the only reason why major corporations are not willing to adopt the cloud due to its lack of security. Although data can be encrypted while sending to the cloud server. It cannot directly process the data which is there in the encrypted form, and thus it must have to get decrypted before processing. That’s why most of the companies are not very comfortable with Homomorphic Encryption.
So, what we need is an an encryption standard which would allow the server to manipulate the data in its encrypted form. When the resultant is decrypted on client side, it gives the required result. This Homomorphic Encryption would finally lead to mass adoption of cloud tech.
