How actually Terabox cloud storage works?

Before knowing how the Terabox cloud storage actually works, the first and foremost step is to understand the concept of cloud and then computing.

“Cloud” ─ a nebulous assemblage of computers and servers accessed via the Internet.

“Computing” ─ process of completing a task effectively by using computer technology.

The term “Cloud Computing” is a large group of interconnected computers, which are specially programmed to manipulate, communicate, and manage information in an efficient manner using automated systems. It can be personal computers or network servers; publicly or privately.

Cloud computing lets you access all your applications and documents from anywhere in the world, freeing you from the confines of the desktop and making it easier for group members in different locations to collaborate.

What Cloud Computing Is ?

Key to the definition of cloud computing is the “cloud” itself. For our purposes, the cloud is a large group of interconnected computers. These computers can be personal computers or network servers; they can be public or private

For example, Terabox hosts a cloud that consists of both smallish PCs and larger servers. Terabox’s cloud is a private one (that is, Terabox owns it) that is publicly accessible (by Terabox’s users).

Cloud computing is a network of computers that is not tied to a single company or organization. The cloud users provide their applications and data to multiple groups of people, cross-enterprise and cross-platform.

Access is via the Internet. Any authorized user can access these docs and apps from any computer over any Internet connection. And, to the user, the technology and infrastructure behind the cloud is invisible.

A Cloud architecture as shown in image below, the Terabox cloud servers provide access to the individual users and connect to the cloud from their own personal computers or portable devices, over the Internet.

To these individual users, the cloud is seen as a single application, device, or document. The hardware in the cloud (and the operating system that manages the hardware connections) is invisible.

From Terabox’s perspective, there are six key properties of cloud computing:

1. Cloud computing is user-centric
2. Cloud computing is task-centric
3. Cloud computing is powerful
4. Cloud computing is accessible
5. Cloud computing is intelligent and
6. Cloud computing is programmable.

Understanding what is Terabox Cloud Storage and How it works ?

One of the primary uses of cloud computing is for data storage. With cloud storage, data is stored on multiple third-party servers, rather than on the dedicated servers used in traditional networked data storage.

When storing data, the user sees a virtual server—that is, it appears as if the data is stored in a particular place with a specific name. But that place doesn’t exist in reality. It’s just a pseudonym used to reference virtual space carved out of the cloud.

In reality, the user’s data could be stored on any one or more of the computers used to create the cloud. The actual storage location may even differ from day to day or even minute to minute, as the cloud dynamically manages available storage space.

But even though the location is virtual, the user sees a “static” location for his data—and can actually manage his storage space as if it were connected to his own PC.

Terabox Cloud storage has both financial and security-associated advantages.

Financially, virtual resources in the cloud are typically cheaper than dedicated physical resources connected to a personal computer or network.

As for security, data stored in the cloud is secure from accidental erasure or hardware crashes, because it is duplicated across multiple physical machines; since multiple copies of the data are kept continually, the cloud continues to function as normal even if one or more machines go offline. If one machine crashes, the data is duplicated on other machines in the cloud.

So this is the overall concept behind the processing and working mechanism of Terabox Cloud storage

Conclusion


In short, Terabox works on cloud computing that enables a shift from the computer to the user, from applications to tasks, and from isolated data to data that can be accessed from anywhere and shared with anyone. The user no longer has to take on the task of data management; he doesn’t even have to remember where the data is. All that matters is that the data is in the cloud, and thus immediately available to that user and to other authorized users.

First, cloud computing isn’t network computing. With network computing, applications/documents are hosted on a single company’s server and accessed over the company’s network.

Cloud computing is a lot bigger than that. It encompasses multiple companies, multiple servers, and multiple networks. Plus, unlike network computing, cloud services and storage are accessible from anywhere in the world over an Internet connection; with network computing, access is over the company’s network only.

Cloud computing also isn’t traditional outsourcing, where a company farms out (subcontracts) its computing services to an outside firm. While an outsourcing firm might host a company’s data or applications, those documents and programs are only accessible to the company’s employees via the company’s network, not to the entire world via the Internet.

So, despite superficial similarities, networking computing and outsourcing are not cloud computing.

No, not at all. With traditional desktop computing, you run copies of software programs on each computer you own.

For example you want to make an assignment on Microsoft Word or to visualize some data on Microsoft Excel or making a designful presentation on Microsoft Power Point, you create them and stored on the computer on which they were created.

Although documents can be accessed from other computers on the network, they can’t be accessed by computers outside the network. The whole scene is PC-centric.

Where with cloud computing, the software programs you use aren’t run from your personal computer, but are rather stored on servers accessed via the Internet.

Perhaps the best and most popular examples of cloud computing applications today are the Google family of applications—Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Calendar, Gmail, Picasa, and the like. All of these applications are hosted on Google’s servers, are accessible to any user with an Internet connection, and can be used for group collaboration from anywhere in the world.

If your computer crashes, the software is still available for others to use. Same goes for the documents you create; they’re stored on a collection of servers accessed via the Internet.

Anyone with permission can not only access the documents, but can also edit and collaborate on those documents in real time. Unlike traditional computing, this cloud computing model isn’t PCcentric, it’s document-centric. Which PC you use to access a document simply isn’t important.
