VIRTUALIZATION Virtualization software allows for one physical device, such as a server operating system, to host multiple logical operating systems. These logical systems are called virtual machines. CLOUD COMPUTING Cloud computing is a computing infrastructure in which resources, such as storage and applications, are hosted in a distributed fashion by a third party over the Internet. The "cloud" is a metaphor for the Internet and the complexity of its infrastructure. Cloud computing is an approach that allows companies to improve their efficiency by paying for only the resources used- much like paying for utilities. STREAMING Streaming is an example of a cloud service in which media files are transmitted by a provider over the Internet and viewed by the end user in real time. Since the media is provisioned as needed, the end user transfers most of the processing responsibility onto the provider, and merely needs to maintain a strong Internet connection. WEB APPLICATIONS Web applications are software applications that are installed on web servers and delivered to users through the Internet. VOIP Voice over IP (VoIP) is the transmission of voice communications over IP networks, such as the Internet. The emergence of virtual meetings, which participants can attend remotely, is fueled by VoIP and screen-sharing technologies. Voice data files are larger in size when compared to text, so upgrading to a VoIP service requires high bandwidth. QoS Quality of Service is typically implemented on the routers or switches. By configuring QoS, you can improve the quality of voice data over the network. HOSTED STORARGE or networked storage, places data on specialized devices that serve files to clients in a network based on each client's need. Networked drives are available to groups of users who share access. NAS Network-attached Storage devices are ideal for small-to-mid-size companies because they can combine multiple drives into one storage pool for easy access over the network. NAS devices are relatively inexpensive and typically allow administrators to easily create backups in case of failure. PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK is a network in which resource sharing, processing, and communications control are completely decentralized. All clients on the network are equal in terms of providing and using resources, while users are authenticated by each individual workstation.
