Essays on Cloud Computing

Abstract

The energy consumption in the high performance computing and cloud services is enormous. This requires energy efficiency techniques to reduce power consumption in operation and cooling of the data servers and high performance computers. To search for more energy efficient techniques to save power, companies across the world share data and conduct survey. This article gives an overview of requirement of energy efficiency, different energy efficiency algorithms for supercomputers, cooling and energy efficiency techniques used across the globe.

Introduction

There are multiple sources for energy consumption in high performance computing such as power consumption in running High Performance Computing (HPC), ...

Telecommuting is one of the fastest growing labor trends today. According to observers, many companies are planning to offer telecommuting as they see its many benefits, especially in terms of productivity. And since telecommuting refers to virtually commuting through the use of wired and wireless technologies, the benefits of telecommuting is not only confined between the company and the individual, but also for the environment as well (Cross, 2015, p.2). Just imagine the energy that can be saved from not using a car in going to work because one can do it in the comforts of his own home. ...

The Cloud for Digital Photography

CONVENTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY: STORAGE & MANAGEMENT ISSUES The advent of photography in late 1830s (Roosa, n.d.) has mandated later introduction and development of memory storage methods. The capacity for cameras to preserve in photographs personal and collective memories has made permanency a more urgent issue as photographs became household collectibles. Moreover, as development methods improved, older photographs (developed using outdated methods) required more maintenance during storage, particularly photographs produced by acetate negatives, chromogenic color film, polyester film and instant color print processes (Roosa). The deterioration of photographs by poor environmental storage conditions, poor storage enclosures, inadequate handling and shelving conditions, and ...

The integration of biometrics in modern security has become like a massive boost for information security. The process of recognition has become useful to security as there are various elements of recognition that biometrics use to match the live template and the stored template to give the desired return (Metheny 2013, p.71-102). Various features utilized in the biometrics are often extracted from the biometric modalities that come from the stored data about them. The degree of similarity is the found using when the data from the templates are properly authenticated.

A DBMS is mainly capable of the organization, management, and access of data in the database (“ISYS104 Tutorial,” n.d.). In particular, its capabilities consist of the data dictionary, the data definition language, and the data manipulation language.

The data dictionary is a manual or automated file where information of the data in the database is stored. Such data include data element descriptions, data formats, definitions, and names. In large databases, the data dictionary can also store other data attributes such as security, authorization, ownership, and usage, as well as the reports, programs, business functions, and users who use ...

As per Dr. Carr arguments, I will have to agree. Companies approach the use of IT has been based on gaining competitive advantage. The use of this approach was beneficial to companies when the technology was not readily available to other competitors. This is evident in the 1950s and 1980s, when introduction of computers changed the way companies handled businesses. Dr. Carr clearly illustrates this by giving an example of the American Hospital Supply that introduced electronic ordering of medical supplies by hospitals. The use of this system provided AHS with a competitive advantage but later became a liability after the ...
