Services and apps that float among the cloud are similar in many ways to the services and apps that remain grounded in your on-premises infrastructure. Take cloud-based web apps and directory services, for example. Many will use the same ports and protocols that are used by their on-premise counterparts....
Peek in to Prep Your Cloud Network’s Ports and Protocol
One of the key steps you need to take to secure your cloud network is drilling down into the nitty gritty to uncover what people, services and technologies need access to the network. Ports are an essential part of your cloud network....
Surveying Network Configuration Options
If you want to make use of a virtual network, you must also configure the following components:SubnetsSubnets are a required part of a virtual network. You need TCP/IP subnets, which will designate addresses that are used on that network. Public and private address ranges are often used. When...
Glancing at the Building Blocks of Your Cloud Network
As a cloud administrator or cloud computing engineer, your ability to create a virtual network will typically be reliant on virtual machine software or a cloud network provided by a CSP. Virtual machine software allows cloud administrators to designate and configure virtual network parameters...
What Is a Virtual Network?
Virtual networks can be thought of as separate networks within a larger network. Administrators can create a separate network segment consisting of a range of subnets (or a single subnet) and control traffic that flows through the cloud...
Cloud Computing Jobs and Careers
With a technology as far-reaching as cloud computing comes a wide range of jobs that require up-to-date cloud skills. While some of the roles are new positions that focus primarily on cloud usage, most are existing roles that need to add cloud expertise to ongoing responsibilities.These roles...
Types of Cloud Computing Applications (Part-2)
The three primary cloud deployment models as said in my previous post are mentioned below.Public CloudAlthough many people apply the label cloud computing to any third-party resource, a true instance of public cloud will use a software...
Types of Cloud Computing Applications (Part - 1)
IT systems are really a stack of different components:At the bottom is the infrastructure layer, the actual hardware that runs everything.Next comes an operating system, allowing software applications to easily access the hardware components.Finally, there is the application itself, providing...
Benefits of Cloud Computing
As with most new technology models, the initial benefit that companies look for with cloud computing is the ability to cut costs. For many years, the corporate approach to IT has been to treat it as a cost center, so CIOs and IT pros...
Cloud Computing Definition
In thinking about a cloud computing definition, we have to consider the five characteristics that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) outline as an essential part of any cloud system:Broad Network Access: This characteristic is common with other models and simply means...
