As learned from past events, computing in its purest form, has changed hands multipletimes. First from near the beginning when mainframes were predicted to be the future ofcomputing. Indeed mainframes and large scale machines were built and used, and in somecircumstances are used similarly today. The trend, however, turned from bigger and moreexpensive, to smaller and more affordable commodity PCs and servers.Most of our data is stored on local networks with servers that may be clustered and sharingstorage. This approach has had time to be developed into stable architecture, and provide decentredundancy when deployed right. A newer emerging technology, cloud computing, has shown updemanding attention and quickly is changing the direction of the technology landscape. Whetherit is Google's unique and scalable Google File System, or Amazon's robust Amazon S3 cloudstorage model, it is clear that cloud computing has arrived with much to be gleaned from.In dealing with the abstract term, "the cloud", it is easy to misunderstand what makes upthe structure and function. The basic function is what comes from "the cloud". This is primarilyoutput, however, not only. Input is what makes the cloud tick.Do not confuse cloud computing with the term data center, as it typically sits on top of thelatter. Viewing the cloud as logical rather than a physical, you can see it object describes it better.The proposed benefits of using cloud architecture to build applications on top of, areimmense. SmugMug, a successful photography community, saved an estimated $2 Million dollarsin 2007 by using Amazon S3 cloud storage. Organizations and individuals can benefit from masscomputing and storage, provided by large companies with stable and strong cloud architectures.On the other hand, companies that desire to build massive, scalable environments, utilizingvirtualization and cloud computing will increase their future margin of success greatly.As new technologies emerge, they often tend to build on the success of previousdevelopments. Cloud computing and storage, benefit from years of development and testing oflarge scale infrastructure. The most important take away is cloud storage is for everyone andevery organization. From big to small, groups to individual, the use of grid infrastructure can bedeployed for maximum return and efficiency. 1. According to the passage, what happened to the computing?A.
