Storage Platform
How to get my Christmas display to stand?
I have screwed my displays in to my fence in previous years but would like to have reindeer's and sleigh in the yard standing upright. What would be a good way to build a stand for them? It has to be easy.... Tomato stake is OK but they still fall over from the weight. I had a vision of using a platform with a stick in the center that the display was screwed in to however, that's not too good for storage later. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance
A flat base with triangular stands...think of an upside down shelf...flat part on the ground & your jolly fat man leaning on what would be screwed into the wall if it was an actual shelf...
Cloud computing is a potentially cost-efficient model for provisioning processes, applications and services while making IT management easier and more responsive to the needs of the business. Therefore, it is spreading through the IT world like wildfire, and more-n-more established vendors trying to reach the customer attention.
In general, cloud service providers fall into three categories:
Here are some companies that provide cloud services:
Amazon
Since 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has provided companies of all sizes with an infrastructure web services platform in the cloud. With AWS consumers can requisition compute power, storage, and other services–gaining access to a suite of elastic IT infrastructure services as the business demands. The company provides more than six services including the Elastic Compute Cloud, for computing capacity, and the Simple Storage Service, for on-demand storage capacity.
AWS delivers a number of benefits for IT organizations and developers alike, including:
Google
The number one search engine offers various cloud based services like, Google Apps that features several Web applications with similar functionality to traditional office suites, including: Gmail, Google Calendar, Talk, Docs and Sites; Postini, is an Email and Web security services mostly used by companies who manage their own email servers and would like to filter email before it reaches the destination mail server; and the Google App Engine, a platform-as-a-service offering that lets developers build applications and host them on Google's infrastructure.
Google App Engine is free up to a certain level of used resources, after which fees are charged for additional storage, bandwidth, or CPU cycles required by the application. The services are used by small businesses, enterprises and colleges including Arizona State University and Northwestern University.
Microsoft
In 2008, the software giant had announced Windows Azure, codenamed "Red Dog", which is a cloud services operating system that serves as the development, service hosting and service management environment for the Azure Services Platform.
It is currently in Community Technology Preview. Commercial availability for Windows Azure will likely be at the end of calendar year 2009.
Windows Azure is an open platform that will support both Microsoft and non-Microsoft languages and environments. Developers can use their existing Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 expertise to build applications and services on Windows Azure. It supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, XML, and PHP. Windows Azure also welcomes third party tools and languages such as Eclipse, Ruby, PHP, and Python.
At present, software companies like Epicor, S3Edge and Micro Focus are among the early customers using Azure to develop cloud apps.
Salesforce.com
Salesforce.com provides a set of CRM tools for salesforce automation, analytics, marketing and social networking tools. Besides CRM tools, it also offers Force.com, which is the fastest and easiest platform to build, buy, and run your business applications.
Delivering the power and flexibility of cloud computing to the enterprise, Force.com Cloud Computing Architecture includes pay-per-login utility pricing model for the Force.com Platform, and Force.com Development-as-a-Service, a new set of tools and services that will enable enterprise developers to easily harness the promise of cloud computing for application development.
At present, about fifty-five thousand customers among various industries, which include financial services, communications and media, energy, healthcare and retail using the services.
AT&T
Last year, the largest carrier in the U.S. announced its first cloud computing service, called as Synaptic Hosting, an application hosting service that offers pay-as-you-go access to virtual servers and storage integrated with security and networking functions.
The service is made up primarily of technology AT&T got when it acquired application hosting specialist USinternetworking (USi) for $300 million in September 2006, and AT&T's networking services. The service is powering major Web properties such as the official Web site of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
