Week 7, Bits and Bytes

In this weeks session, we will be talking about Bits and Bytes and how we will use cloud storage in our servers. Bits and Bytes are a very important part of computer storage. It is essential to be able to differentiate between them. Storage is something that companies must have in order to have full out databases and information to be able to track sales. As an enterprise, we will have terabytes of storage to be able to store company data, user logons, and finally, all web traffic.

Where cloud storage comes into this is through online hosting. It will be extremely important that we come up with a solution in case our servers at work crash when we are using them on a local drive. We will create a cloud based server from a remote location that can always be accessed and will not go down in case of an emergency. It is imperative that data is always available at all times throughout business plans. I would really like to capitalize on the idea of cloud storage even though it is in its infancy. It is widely used across most web based sources.

The final part of this entry will revolve around how the storage system will work. We plan to use one mainframe server to manage all of our company computers and most information that is processed. Data that is processed must always be stores and there can be no temporary files because those are deleted after a certain amount of time. Everything must be stored and saves therefore we need large amounts of hard drive space. We will be using terabytes of storage to run daily operations. Anyway, that is all for this week, short and sweet. till next time.
