Why do they call IT a cloud server?

The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone network, and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents.

Where is data stored in cloud?

Instead of being stored directly on your own personal device (the hard drive on your laptop, for example, or your phone), cloud-based data is stored elsewhere — on servers owned by big companies, usually — and is made accessible to you via the internet.

Did AWS Start cloud computing?

AWS was first to market with a modern cloud infrastructure service when it launched Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud in August, 2006. Surprisingly, it took several years before a competitor responded. As such, they control a vast amount of market share, at least for now.

Is VMware hybrid cloud?

VMware hybrid cloud is based on VMware Cloud Foundation, which delivers virtualized and software-defined data center (SDDC) technology everywhere you manage workloads. You get a single operating model for all of your applications, based on the most proven and widely deployed cloud infrastructure in the world.

Is Google Drive a hybrid cloud?

What strikes me about Google Drive is that it's a hybrid between cloud storage and cloud computing. Like Dropbox, SugarSync and other cloud storage services, it allows you to store files created on a PC, Mac or mobile device.

Is AWS hybrid cloud?

AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid storage service that enables on-premises workloads to use AWS cloud storage. Capabilities such as File Gateway, Tape Gateway and Volume Gateway help manage hybrid cloud workloads, backup and restore and disaster recovery use cases.

Is a PCIe SSD the same as NVMe?

No they aren't the same. NVMe is a storage protocol, PCIe is an electrical bus.

Is PCIe SSD faster than NVMe?

NVMe drives are so much faster than SATA drives. PCIe 3.0 — the PCI Express standard current generation — has a maximum speed transfer of 985 megabytes per second (Mbps) on each path. NVMe Drives can use 4 PCIe lanes, which means a theoretical maximum speed of 3.9 Gbps (3,940 Mbps).

Is PCIe m 2 the same as NVMe?

M. 2 is usually faster and more expensive. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a communication protocol designed specifically to work with flash memory using the PCIe interface, generating faster data transfer speeds. The PCIe is a computer interface used to connect high speed components.

What is faster than SSD?

The main benefit of a RAM drive is its increased read and write speeds compared to an SSD or hard drive. It will be multiple times faster than even the fastest solid-state drive.
