The experiment presented during a planned failure at a Trident Warrior lab period, Dataline Secure Cloud Computing […]
Despite the draft definition of NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology, we continue to talk about Cloud Computing as if it were the technology capable of doing everything. One of these much-mentioned features is the alleged innate scalability of the technology, so let’s start with a proper understanding of scalability first: We can define […]
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) informs us of the draft definition of the term Cloud Computing. There was a strong need for it given the proliferation of incorrect definitions and the often improper use of this term by outdated, but fashionable ICT companies. Here are some essential points that have not been translated: […]
