What is Cloud Storage

Free Cloud StorageNowadays there are lots of cloud companies which offer various cloud services with distributed data storage, making the IT infrastructure much more flexible than before. Besides, it creates dynamic data storage systems, providing better productivity, versatility and far way more affordable prices. The distributive management model possesses many advantages starting from better reliability, eliminating the scalability such as the network interface of the traditional SAN systems.
This model also offers the so-called cloud vps plans, but they are more like designed for web sites with different levels of traffic.
Which option seems better: cloud or physical storage?
The cloud storage has become quite an affordable, effective and super useful service. Thanks to its many assets, more and more businessmen and users take advantage of it. Besides, the monthly tax which is to be paid for using this useful service guarantees a certain amount of space for your own files. So, you can be sure that they will be stored somewhere safe.
Personal cloud storage:
The so-called cloud services have become pretty popular these days, which is absolutely understandable especially when you think of all of the advantages they have. However, all these web-based cloud storage services have some downsides – nobody can tell where all the information is being stored and if the storage server is reliable enough.
What is interesting is that the Western Digital company has found quite a good solution to such potential problems by creating and putting out their My Cloud – an external storage device, which serves as a personal cloud. The model is packed with a controller by means of which the connection to the network or the internet is accomplished. Thanks to that, users are able to access their personal information any time they want.
Generally, thanks to all the giants in this industry, there have been developed not a few technologies, promoting the better optimization of data storage. However, the spare cloud capacity is exhausted within a very short time which means that you are in need of more space.
Local storage:
The storage of too much information on a local network requires more investments which might turn out to be way more efficient for your goals. The devices themselves require technical support such as air conditioning, unbreakable power supply which leads to higher expenses, of course. On the other hand, when locally stored, you receive better accessibility to the data itself. And this happens by means of using high-speed optical technologies.
Cloud storage:
This type of data storage is getting more and more popular by the second. Generally, the public storage services, offered by lots of service providers, attract the attention of both the small and average businesses. The cloud storage seems to be the best option for corporate organizations, which are predominantly interested into effectively using of storage resources. Such organizations get the opportunity to adapt what the IT systems provide to the business needs and the market climate.
It is not news that basically everyone is mainly focused on the levels of safety and privacy that a service provides. In this regard, you don’t have to worry about that since these extremely useful and necessary technologies are able to respond to any eventual business changes. And the best part of all of that is the fact that the costumer can actually put it to test and see what it is all about. By doing that, the costumer will be able to access its functionality and reliability as well.
The informational safety seems to be one of the most important and discussed topics by many costumers. The corporate costumers seem to be quite skeptic about it simply because of their lack of confidence in terms of its 100 % security. So, they prefer to kind of reinsure themselves before doing anything else. But the truth is that the levels of security which the traditional infrastructure provides are no different than the ones provided by the cloud environments.

Electronic Music Theory: 8 Rhythmic Devices You Should Know (Polyrhythm, Syncopation +)

Image
 I wrote about the primary elements of drum beats: measured time, drum sound selection, and the observable phenomenon of 2s and 3s. Truth be told I wrote that article to get you thinking about rhythm in a different way so I could follow it with this article. I will go over some rhythmic devices that I’ve picked up over the years from working with drummers and percussionists in a variety of live performance and studio recording situations. Being that this is a series dedicated to how music works (music theory), it is appropriate to include some examples of recorded music that utilizes these techniques, which I will do for you below. Once you’ve internalized these concepts and can recognize their idiosyncratic sounds, you’ll start hearing them all over the place. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them using the comment section down below. Alright, let’s jump in. This one example includes all eight rhythmic devices that we’ll cover below:  the downbeat ,  the up

Computable Universes & Algorithmic Theory of Everything: The Computational Multiverse

Digital Physics: Is our universe just the output of a deterministic computer program? As a consequence of Moore's law, each decade computers are getting roughly 1000 times faster by cost. Apply Moore's law to the video game business. As the virtual worlds get more convincing many people will spend more time in them. Soon most universes will be virtual, only one (the original) will be real. Then many will be led to suspect the real one is a simulation as well. Some are already suspecting this today. Then the simplest explanation of our universe is the simplest program that computes it. In 1997 Schmidhuber pointed out [1] that the simplest such program actually computes all possible universes with all types of physical constants and laws, not just ours. His essay also talks about universes simulated within parent universes in nested fashion, and about universal complexity-based measures on possible universes. Here a few video clips on this from the World Science Fest

Balancing your Studies and Social Life at University

When you add up all the course work and social opportunities, the uni experience can be overwhelming, and one of the worst parts is feeling like you have to sacrifice part of your study time for a party or vice versa. But fear not!  The university experience doesn’t have to be all work or all play  – there are ways to have a successful academic career and still have time for fun. The key to making it through is finding a way to balance your studies and social life, by setting realistic expectations, staying organised and having interim goals. Set the right goals A good goal is one you have to stretch to achieve, but is not so unreasonable that you’d have to drop everything else to get there. Try to get into the habit of setting goals not only for your academic life but other parts of your university experience as well. Break your course work into achievable segments.  Instead of waiting until the last minute to study for an exam or start a big project, set intermediate daily o
