Everything IT related as a service - ?aaS

Post by KBleivik »

You may know the new IT terms:
  1. SaaS (Software as a Service): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service
  2. PaaS (Platform as a Service): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_as_a_service
  3. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and cloud: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing and grid computing and similar terms.
Try to Google:

?aaS.

You get too many hits, so instead, I randomly tried RaaS (Robot as a Service): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raas Yes, I am earnest. Today I learned a new term. So where do the IT industry go? Today you can buy computing power like you buy electricity. You can buy a virtual super computer for some hours, store an image of your use and recreate it for later use or completely destroy it.

In the WordPress sub forum, you can se how you create a WordPress site on a webserver that can be replicated on your laptop for security, test and development purposes. My daughter created this http://www.motenorge.no/blog/ wordpress fashion blog without knowing a single HTML tag or CSS. It is great for small companies and individuals that don't have the time to dive into the many technical details. Their forcus is on producing content.

Security is a serious concern for everything you put in the cloud. https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/

So don't forget to use an unpredictable long and strong password for everything you put in the cloud. Use a mix of letters, numbers and other characters at least 15 characters long.

Regarding cloud storage security, there has while these words are written in june 2011 been a lot of bad stories on the internet and in the media about credit card numbers etc that have been stolen. Sot the message is: Never put sensitive data in the cloud.
