I read an interesting few articles
about Facebook. Big surprise right? Facebook in the news? Well this
time, like many other times, the spotlight is the bad kind.
If you haven't heard about cloud and
edge servers, maybe it's time you have. The idea behind a cloud
server is to store your data so that at any point in time, and from
anywhere, you can access it. Even if you are not on your home
computer where the data is stored originally, you can still access it
while on vacation without having to set up remote desktop connections
and leave your PC running. Many software giants are starting to use
this type of system so that they have more efficient access to their
own data and things you request, and to provide it to the end-user as
a convenience feature. One big name to note is Microsoft. Their
business strategy with Windows 8 and Windows 7.5(Mango for mobile) is shifting towards providing cloud services in
order to streamline all your windows and Microsoft devices to make the user experience more 'edgy'. Pun intended.
