I decided that, for once in my life, I will follow the fashion, and let's talk a little bit of this term as many laps is giving lately. Looking for a bit, I found the following definition in English Wikipedia, but has not been authorized :
Cloud computing is being able to develop and investigate parallel des multiple computers. All information must be on servers, currently operating programs and are installed on the computer must be running Internet dare and that the implementation of these cloud Applications is completely online and can access these applications from any terminal with Internet access .
may not be a very rigorous definition (is much better explained in the same English wikipedia), but it gives an idea where the shots go. Overall, I think it is something that is limited only to scheduling and research, but it could be applied to any field of computing. From a small notebook that I can go anywhere, and update, to a complete project, or an application that makes us go anywhere the tasks assigned to us and give us the means to carry them out anywhere. At least, this is the way I see it. We could take it much further, but I extend giving examples, and not what I want.
The party I want to get is to move this to the Real World ™. In Spain, I think this view of computing, will stay, like many things, one of the many castles in the air we have. I've been three or four years with the feeling that going to the office, is a mere waste of time and money, both for me and for my company (and in that time have been several). In none of my recent work I have dealt with applications installed on a resident on my computer, if not in servers that still have access from home, or who could access with a minimal change in the corporate firewall. Moreover, if we stick to the definition, it is Cloud Computing. Applications are not on my team, if not centralized in some servers.
The problem is the concept that we in Spain on this sort of thing. It seems that if the boss can not see you, you is not working. The funny part of this paper is that, on occasion, I lost more time looking for a program or a file over the network, knowing that I have it on your home computer within easy reach, and it would take half a minute to mail it, and ready.
I think that Cloud Computing has come a while ago, only now it has a name "groovy" and everyone tries to take advantage of one form or another. As always in Spain long before we get to work in a truly distributed by the wonderful reputation we have vague, and, believe it the first to literally, are the bosses. If all my work is online, why I have to keep tied to a job?
For if anyone has not noticed, in my humble opinion, this is now called cloud computing, is the final step in order to have full mobility. I focused a bit on the topic of work, but I think it extends to almost all areas. I hope that this trend begins to change sooner than later, and we can move a bit in the wonderful world of the network.
