Study Notes
Cloud Computing
- Involves hardware and software to deliver on-demand computing services via the Internet, akin to utilities like water and electricity.
- Examples include:
- Cloud Storage: Services like Google Drive and iCloud enable users to back up and restore files.
- Translation Services: Google Translate provides instant translation for over 100 languages, covering words, phrases, and web pages.
- Streaming Services: Platforms like Netflix and Apple TV utilize real-time data management for content delivery.
Virtualization
- Technology that simulates hardware functionality by creating multiple virtual machines on a single physical server, decoupling software from hardware.
- Key applications include:
- Server Virtualization: One server supports various functions for efficient resource management.
- Desktop Virtualization: Multiple desktop operating systems can run on a single computer.
- Storage Virtualization: Allows centralized data access from various connected devices and applications.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- Comprises a network of physical objects that automatically share data via the Internet, facilitating quick data exchange.
- Examples include GPS and laser scanners, enhancing data management and monitoring capabilities.
- Key technologies in IoT:
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): Implemented in electronic tags and smart cards for automatic identification.
- Sensor Technology: Collects environmental data such as temperature, humidity, and speed.
- Embedded Systems: Integrates hardware and software for specific automation tasks, found in devices like ATMs, digital cameras, and calculators.
