'It seems that everyone with a computer spends a lot of time acquiring data and then trying to find a way to store it"

इस एक्कीस्वि सदी में हम सब के पास बहुत सारा डेटा है पर उसको सुरक्षित रखना एक बड़ी समस्या है l

For some computer owners, finding enough storage space to hold all the data they've acquired is a real challenge. Some people invest in larger hard drives. Others prefer external storage devices like thumb drives or compact discs. Desperate computer owners might delete entire folders worth of old files in order to make space for new information.

मतलब जैसे जैसे डेटा बढ़ता जा रहा है कंप्यूटर इस्तमाल करने वाले हम और बड़े बड़े इंडस्ट्रीज को हार्ड ड्राइव्स ,डेटा सेंटर्स इत्यादि में निवेश करना पड़ता है l लेकिन जैसे हमको पता है -"अगर चाह है, तो राह है" और वोह राह क्लाउड कम्प्यूटिंग है l

WHAT'S A CLOUD?

While cloud storage sounds like it has something to do with weather fronts and storm systems, it really refers to saving data to an off-site storage system maintained by a third party. Instead of storing information to your computer's hard drive or other local storage device, you save it to a remote database. The Internet provides the connection between your computer and the database

The Internet provides the connection between your computer and the database. This allows multiple users or applications to access the same database from different locations, making it a convenient and scalable solution for many organizations. This process if known as "cloud computing".

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics. It allows for the storage of data on remote servers, which can be accessed over the internet.

Types of Cloud:

1. Public Cloud:

Public clouds are like huge digital warehouses for storing information, but they're not owned by the people who use them. Some big names in this field are Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

In the past, public clouds were always located away from users, but now some providers offer their services right at your own workplace. This means the idea of where the cloud is and who owns it isn't as clear-cut anymore.

When these clouds are split up and shared among different users, they're called public clouds. And here's a surprise: not all public clouds charge money! Some, like the Massachusetts Open Cloud, let you use them for free.

सार्वजनिक क्लाउड जानकारी संग्रह के लिए विशाल डिजिटल गोदामों की तरह होते हैं, लेकिन उनका मालिक वह लोग नहीं होते जो उनका उपयोग करते हैं। इस क्षेत्र में कुछ बड़े नाम हैं, जैसे अलीबाबा क्लाउड, अमेजन वेब सेवाएं (एडब्ल्यूएस), गूगल क्लाउड, आईबीएम क्लाउड, और माइक्रोसॉफ्ट एज़्यूर।

पहले, सार्वजनिक क्लाउड उपयोगकर्ताओं से दूर स्थित होते थे, लेकिन अब कुछ प्रदाताओं अपनी सेवाएं आपके कार्यस्थल पर ही प्रदान करते हैं। इसका मतलब है कि क्लाउड का कहाँ स्थान है और उसका मालिक कौन है, यह अब पहले जितना स्पष्ट नहीं है।

जब ये क्लाउड विभाजित और विभिन्न उपयोगकर्ताओं के बीच साझा किए जाते हैं, तो उन्हें सार्वजनिक क्लाउड कहा जाता है।

2. Private Cloud:

Private clouds are like personal storage units for your data, meant just for you or your group. They're usually kept behind your digital "fence" or firewall for extra security.

In the past, private clouds were always built on your own equipment, but now you can rent space in someone else's data center for your private cloud. This means you don't have to worry about where your data is physically stored or who technically owns the equipment.

There are different types of private clouds now because of this, like ones that are solely for your use, with no sharing at all.

निजी क्लाउड आपके डेटा के लिए व्यक्तिगत संग्रहण स्थल होते हैं, जो केवल आप या आपके समूह के लिए होते हैं। इन्हें आमतौर पर अतिरिक्त सुरक्षा के लिए अपने डिजिटल "फेंस" या फायरवॉल के पीछे रखा जाता है।पहले, निजी क्लाउड हमेशा अपने ही उपकरणों पर निर्मित होते थे, लेकिन अब आप अपने निजी क्लाउड के लिए किसी अन्य व्यक्ति के डेटा केंद्र में जगह किराया कर सकते हैं। इसका मतलब है कि आपको ना तो अपने डेटा के भौतिक भंडारण की चिंता करनी होगी और ना ही आपको उपकरण का तकनीकी अधिकार होगा।

3. Hybrid Cloud:

A hybrid cloud is like having one big playground made up of lots of smaller playgrounds that are all connected. These connections can be through things like local networks, wide networks, private networks, or special software connections.

Hybrid clouds can be a bit tricky to define because they can look different depending on who you ask. But generally, a hybrid cloud needs to have at least one private cloud and one public cloud, or it could have multiple of each. It might also involve connecting a regular computer setup to a cloud, or vice versa.

The characteristics of hybrid clouds are complex and the requirements can differ, depending on whom you ask. For example, a hybrid cloud may need to include:

-At least one private cloud and at least one public cloud

-Two or more private clouds

-Two or more public clouds

-A bare-metal or virtual environment connected to at least one public cloud or private cloud

The main idea is that in a hybrid cloud setup, your apps can move between different environments easily. Some of these environments might use shared resources that can grow when needed. Plus, they all need to be managed together, using one big system to keep everything running smoothly.

हाइब्रिड क्लाउड को परिभाषित करना कुछ मुश्किल हो सकता है क्योंकि यह उस व्यक्ति के देखने के तरीके पर निर्भर करता है जिससे आप पूछते हैं। लेकिन सामान्य रूप से, एक हाइब्रिड क्लाउड में कम से कम एक निजी क्लाउड और एक सार्वजनिक क्लाउड होना चाहिएl

4. Multicloud:

Multiclouds are like having multiple options for storing your digital stuff, but they're not all from the same company. So, you might use a mix of different cloud services from different providers, whether they're public or private.

Now, here's where it gets a bit tricky: Every hybrid cloud is technically a multicloud because it's made up of more than one cloud service. But not every multicloud is a hybrid cloud. It only becomes a hybrid when those different clouds are connected in some way, like through special software.

Sometimes, having different clouds is intentional, maybe for extra security or as a backup plan in case something goes wrong. Other times, it might happen accidentally, like when different departments in a company start using different cloud services without really coordinating. But whatever the reason, using multiple clouds is becoming more common, especially for big companies that want to improve their digital security and performance by spreading their data across different platforms.

मल्टीक्लाउड हमें डेटा रखने के लिए बहुत सारे विकल्प देता है l इसलिए, आप विभिन्न प्रदाताओं के विभिन्न क्लाउड सेवाओं का मिश्रण उपयोग कर सकते हैं, चाहे वे सार्वजनिक हों या निजी।अब, यहाँ पर थोड़ा जटिल होता है: हर हाइब्रिड क्लाउड तकनीकी रूप से एक मल्टीक्लाउड है क्योंकि इसमें एक से अधिक क्लाउड सेवा शामिल है। लेकिन हर मल्टीक्लाउड को हाइब्रिड क्लाउड नहीं कहा जाता। यह केवल तब हाइब्रिड होता है जब वे विभिन्न क्लाउड सेवाओं को विशेष सॉफ़्टवेयर के माध्यम से किसी प्रकार से कनेक्ट किया जाता है।

Cloud computing offers several benefits, including:

1. Cost savings: Cloud computing eliminates the need for expensive hardware, software, and maintenance costs. Instead, users pay for only the resources they use, which can lead to significant cost savings.

2.Scalability : Cloud computing allows users to easily scale up or down their computing resources as needed. This makes it an ideal solution for businesses with fluctuating computing needs.

3. Accessibility: Cloud computing allows users to access their data and applications from anywhere, at any time, using any device with an internet connection.

4. Reliability and availability: Cloud computing providers offer high levels of reliability and availability ensuring that users can access their data and applications whenever they need to.

5. Security: Cloud computing providers offer robust security measures, such as encryption, firewalls, and access controls, to protect users' data and applications.

6. Collaboration: Cloud computing makes it easy for teams to collaborate on projects, as they can access and share data and applications in real-time.

7. Automatic updates: Cloud computing providers handle software updates and maintenance, freeing up users' time and resources.

8. Disaster recovery: Cloud computing offers robust disaster recovery capabilities, allowing users to quickly recover their data and applications in the event of a disaster.

9. Sustainability: Cloud computing can help reduce a business's carbon footprint, as it eliminates the need for on-premises servers and data centers.

There are many cloud computing services like AZURE by Microsoft, Amazon Web Services by Amazon, Google Cloud Platform by Google, IBM cloud by IBM, Digital Ocean, Salesforce etc.
