Cloud computing data centers limited cuts, sestions
Cloud Computing has not just became available, it has been around in one form or another for several decades now.cloud computing data centersObviously it's not named cloud scheming then, that is a fairly new term. If we were a large business and were running these applications in-house, we'd have probably spent millions on their purchase, integration and repair.
On an everyday basis we use the following Google services:
- Yahoo Docs - Just about all our documents are kept in Google Docs. We no longer get any files stored regionally in Microsoft format on our computers (and we eliminated our server). This means that we can access our documents from anywhere (really handy because we often travel between the UK and Italy) and get access to our documents at all times (through some of our laptops/iPads). Everything is backed in place automatically and we no longer need to consider saving of documents. The other brilliant issue about Google Docs is that it is integrated with Google Web sites, which means that on our site your handmade jewelry prices are directly driven by spreadsheets that are held in Google Paperwork and we have a couple of presentations in Google Docs which play automatically on our website.
- Google Web pages - The Da Londra web site runs under Google Web-sites (strictly speaking under Apps as opposed to Sites).
- GMail - Our email accounts use GMail although these are mapped on to our personal URL.
- Google Analytics - We monitor the site visitors on our site on a daily basis and using the info provided, make informed decisions about updating and editing our sites.
- Google AdWords : Our site is targeted towards Italians who are in northern and central Italia. With the use associated with AdWords, our message reaches the audience that we should visit our website.
- Google AdSense - We use a variety of advertising on our site which include AdSense. Again, AdSense is built-into Google Sites and we can add or remove campaigns at will.
- Google Maps - We have made extensive use associated with maps on our web site. We use the My own Maps facility of Google Maps to develop our own customised maps (which show the places that individuals recommend on this internet site). It's so easy!
- Picasa : We hold our photos in our products in Picasa which is integrated with our internet site.
- Google Website owner - We use this tool to better understand the performance of our website with regards to Google searches.
And often see, we are completely converted to thinking about 'cloud computing' and can't understand why anyone would wish to own their applications in-house. We are also fans of Yahoo, because we think Google contains the capability to provide business-class applications but without looking to rip off small organizations like us.
While acknowledging that, it hasn't always ended up easy. As we have been building our website, we have discover number of issues which Google are yet to treat. For example, we believe that the Open Office applications available under Google Paperwork, although functional, are for no reason as developed as their Microsoft equivalents and, if you're used to using Microsoft Office applications, then you will battle to adjust to Google Paperwork.
