HARRY POTTER-THE Beginning and the End

GPRS manual settings - Airtel, BSNL, Hutch etc

Inventions in telephony have brought about an era of mobile internet, whereby GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) acts as a lifeline for phones, enabling them to access the internet. The GPRS allowsmobile carrier networks to exchange IP packets, thereby allowing users to access the internet. Generally, mobile carriers such as Hutch, BSNL, Idea or Airtel provide GPRS settings at the time of installing the SIM card. The required settings can also be installed manually, depending on the service provider. These manual settings for GPRS require a couple of important details such as access point, proxy server address, proxy server port and authentication type. Users can also set a custom home page while installing the manual settings

Cloud Computing for Beginners


• What is Cloud Computing?
• Dynamism
• Abstraction
• Resource Sharing


• What are Cloud Stacks?
• What is IaaS?
• What is PaaS?
• What is SaaS?
• Cloud Resources


 




What is Cloud Computing?

In late 90s or even now, ask any web developer, solution architect or anyone involved in web
application development in any capacity:

 Which symbol do you use to represent Internet on numerous white-board meetings? Obviously
the most widely used metaphor for Internet was/is cloud. Cloud computing has derived its
name from the same line of thinking.

Cloud Computing is a style of computing which must cater to the following computing needs:
1. Dynamism
2. Abstraction
3. Resource Sharing

Dynamism

Your business is growing exponentially. Your computing need & usage is getting bigger with
every passing day. Would you add servers & other hardwares to meet the new demand?

Assume, Recession is back & your business is losing customers. The servers & hardwares you
added during last quarter’s peak season is now idle. Will you sale them?
Demand keeps on changing based on world/regional economy, sometimes seasonal traffic
burst as well.

That’s where Cloud Computing comes to your rescue! You just need to configure & your
provider will take care of fluctuating demand.

Abstraction

Your business should focus on your core competency & should not worry about security, OS,
software platform , updates and patches etc. Leave these chores to your provider.

From an end users perspective, you don’t need to care for the OS, the plug-ins, web security or
the software platform. Everything should be in place without any worry.

Resource Sharing

Resource Sharing is the beauty of Cloud Computing. This is the concept which helps the cloud
providers to attain optimum utilization of resources. Say, a company dealing in gifts may
require more server resources during festive season. A company dealing in Payroll management
may require more resources during the end or beginning of the month.




CloudSaaSPaaSIaaS1.jpg


The cloud architecture is implemented in such a way that it provides you the flexibility to share
application as well as other network resources (hardware etc). This will lead to a need based
flexible architecture where the resources will expand or contract with little configuration
changes.

What are Cloud Stacks?

Cloud Services can be dived into **3 stacks:



 1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

 2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

 3. Software as a Service (SaaS)

**There are many other ‘?’ as a Service viz. DaaS (Data as a Service)










Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

This is the base layer of the cloud stack.

It serves as a foundation for the other two layers, for their execution. The keyword behind this
stack is Virtualization.

Let us try to understand this using Amazon EC2. In Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) your
application will be executed on a virtual computer (instance). You have the choice of virtual
computer, where you can select a configuration of CPU, memory & storage that is optimal for
your application. The whole cloud infrastructure viz. servers, routers, hardware based load-
balancing, firewalls, storage & other network equipments are provided by the IaaS provider.
The customer buy these resources as a service on a need basis.



Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Now you don’t need to invest millions of $$$ to get that development foundation ready for
your developers. The PaaS provider will deliver the platform on the web, and in most of the
cases you can consume the platform using your browser, i.e. no need to download any
software. It has definitely empowered small & mid-size companies or even an individual
developer to launch their own SaaS leveraging the power of these platform providers, without
any initial investment.

PaaS Layers

.
Cloud OS
.
Cloud Middleware














Google App Engine and Windows Azure are examples of Cloud OS. OrangesScape & Wolf PaaS are
cloud middleware. Windows Azure is gradually evolving into IaaS+PaaS






















SaaSIntroductionCloudComputing9.png










Software as a Service (SaaS)

This is the Top most layer of the cloud computing stack - directly consumed by end user – i.e.
SaaS (Software as a Service).

On-Premise applications are quite expensive, affordable only to big enterprises. Why?

Cause On-Premise applications had a very high upfront CapEx(Capital Expenditure); which
results in a high TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). On-Premise apps also require a higher number
of skilled developers to maintain the application. In its current avatar SaaS is going to be the
best bet for SMEs/SMBs (Small & Mid size businesses). Now, they can afford best software
solution for their business without investing anything at all on the infrastructure or
development platform or skilled manpower. The only requirement for SaaS is a computer with
browser, quite basic. SaaS is a recurring subscription based model delivered to customer on
demand – Pay as you use.












Best SaaS Examples

SalesForce CRM
.
Google Apps
.
ZOHO Support
.
Deskaway

10 security for your PC


Before you spend a dime on security, there are many precautions you can take that will protect you against the most common threats.

1. Check Windows Update and Office Update regularly (_http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates); have your Office CD ready. Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and choose the appropriate options.

2. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (_www.sygate.com) and ZoneAlarm (_www.zonelabs.com) offer free versions.


3. Install a free spyware blocker. Our Editors' Choice ("Spyware," April 22) was SpyBot Search & Destroy (_http://security.kolla.de). SpyBot is also paranoid and ruthless in hunting out tracking cookies.

4. Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the Windows Messenger service (this is unrelated to the instant messaging program). Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button. Bye-bye, spam pop-ups! Any good firewall will also stop them.

5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro@l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.

6. If you're using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the current version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.

7. Buy antivirus software and keep it up to date. If you're not willing to pay, try Grisoft AVG Free Edition (Grisoft Inc., w*w.grisoft.com). And doublecheck your AV with the free, online-only scanners available at w*w.pandasoftware.com/activescan and _http://housecall.trendmicro.com.

8. If you have a wireless network, turn on the security features: Use MAC filtering, turn off SSID broadcast, and even use WEP with the biggest key you can get. For more, check out our wireless section or see the expanded coverage in Your Unwired World in our next issue.

9. Join a respectable e-mail security list, such as the one found at our own Security Supersite at _http://security.ziffdavis.com, so that you learn about emerging threats quickly and can take proper precautions.

10. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don't assume that e-mail "From:" a particular person is actually from that person until you have further reason to believe it's that person. Don't assume that an attachment is what it says it is. Don't give out your password to anyone, even if that person claims to be from "support."
