There is much discussion in the technology world about the topic of virtualization and, specifically, cloud computing. But what exactly does this mean?
Cloud computing is Internet based computing which allows the sharing of resources, information, and software among multiple computers. It originally developed due to the ease of accessibility provided by Internet-based resources. It is known as "cloud" computing because the cloud is a metaphor for the Internet, as abstract depictions in diagrams of the Internet are often drawn as clouds.
Some of the key features of cloud computing are:
- Improves the speed of technological infrastructures
- Reduces costs
- Allows users to access systems via the Internet, no matter where they are or what device they are using (compatible with PCs as well as mobile devices)
- Enables sharing of resources across a large range of users
- Extremely reliable, allowing for business continuity and disaster recovery
- Improved security
- Easier maintenance of applications
Hopefully, this explanation has helped to clear up any confusion you may have had about cloud computing. If your business is interested in improving your infrastructure with virtualization, contact The TNS Group and ask us about our Total Care Solution.

The Key Components of Compellent
Compellent is a leader in providing effective solutions to business needs, such as data center virtulization, space reclamation, energy efficiency, enterprise automation, and unified storage. One outstanding feature of Compellent is Live Volume. As a recent tech article explains, "Live Volume can detect when VMware Vmotion moves a virtual machine from one server to another. Immediately after the detection of the virtual machine move, Live Volume will flag the replicated secondary volume as the new primary and will automatically reverse replication direction".
Another key feature of Compellent is the use of Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager utilizes a single console for administration of all Compellent systems, local and remote. According to Compellent's website, using Enterprise Manager is beneficial because it will:
•Maximize resource utilization and reduce disk costs using accurate capacity and performance data
•Streamline disaster recovery planning and replication configuration with a simple point-and-click interface
•Speed event resolution with centralized alert notification and event log management
•Identify trends and monitor storage use by business unit for accurate needs assessment and chargeback
•Automatically calculate energy savings and generate boardroom-ready hero reports
Compellent has many other features to offer, including their latest endeavor, Fluid Data Storage. To hear more about Compellents products and services, join The TNS Group at our annual Executive Technology Exchange on November 4th.
