En un mundo tecnológico dominado por las todopoderosas multinacionales estadounidenses, y en parte también por los emergentes gigantes tecnológicos chinos, era una gran superpotencia la que en tecnología se estaba quedando escandalosamente “coja”, con todo lo que ello implica en un futuro que, ya no es que se en gran parte digital, es que va a ser digital hasta los propios cimientos de cualquier socioeconomía.
Huawei Technologies Co. ya es uno de los tres principales fabricantes de equipos de redes de telecomunicaciones y teléfonos inteligentes del mundo por cuota de mercado. Ahora, el gigante chino de tecnología apunta al mercado de la computación en nube, dominado en gran parte por gigantes occidentales.
Companies in almost every industry are targeting the market for “connected” devices, from doorbells and thermostats sold by Nest Labs to something as advanced as automobile hardware and software that monitors your driving habits.
One Indiana-based company has steadily been building an infrastructure service that it hopes will help that market grow. CloudOne, located just northeast of Indianapolis in the city of Fishers, IN, offers large corporations the ability to develop applications used for tracking and analyzing data collected from connected devices, while storing and managing everything in a private cloud.
The Commission is setting up new expert groups to advise on security and business related-issues to accelerate the establishment of a unique "European cloud" capable of challenging global rivals in a sector where the EU has been lagging behind.
Yesterday (28 October), the EU executive announced the formation of an expert group to work on safe and fair terms for cloud computing contracts, to identify best options for consumers and small companies, often reluctant to purchase cloud computing services because contracts are unclear.
El pasado miércoles, 12 de junio, en el marco de la 1ª edición de la «Scientific Cloud Annual Conference» (SciCloud), la star-up Mind the Byte – ubicada en el Parc Científic de la UB y especializada en soluciones cloud computacionales para la investigación biotecnológica y biomédica– presentó iMols, la primera plataforma cloud del mercado español especialmente diseñada para el descubrimiento de fármacos (drug discovery) en la modalidad SaaS (‘Software as a Service’), un sistema de distribución de basado en el pago por uso, frente al sistema tradicional de licencias.
Cloud computing teaches people not to worry about physical equipment for hosting data and running software. But a study by researchers at computer security company RSA suggests that this could be a costly mistake.
The researchers have shown it is possible for software hosted by a cloud-computing provider to steal secrets from software hosted on the same cloud. In their experiment, they ran malicious software on hardware designed to mimic the equipment used by cloud companies such as Amazon. They were able to steal an encryption key used to secure e-mails from the software belonging to another user.
Less than a quarter of European computer users say they use cloud services, even though cloud computing is amongst the fastest-growing segments in the global technology market, a new survey shows.
In a survey of nearly 4,000 people, the nonprofit trade association Business Software Alliance (BSA) has found that only 24% of the respondents access cloud applications, such as online email services or online word processing.
