Cloud computing is hot.  Early this year, PC World predicted that cloud computing would shape up as a big trend in 2009.

Cloud computing is a type of on-demand hosting services on the internet. Not only a necessity for mainstream e-commerce sites, it also increases efficiency, is scalable, and lowers expenses. The monetary savings may be misleading to consumers and businesses who do not fully understand the potential risks involved.

With a pay-as-you-go type structure, users are only charged for the amount of traffic, bandwidth, and memory used. Online businesses become more efficient by only utilizing the storage and space needed, while also being assured capacity for any usage increases.

But what exactly is cloud computing and why does it matter?

Wikipedia defines cloud computing as “a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet.”

Whatis says that cloud computing is different from traditional hosting in three ways:

1. It is sold on demand, typically by the hour (this is why cloud computing is often called utility computing)

2. A user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time

3. The service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a PC and Internet access).

Just imagine this: your organization has 1,000 boxes of documents to scan and OCR and you need to get the work done in one week.  By hosting your application on the cloud, you could have as much processing power as you need. Hundreds of servers could be deployed to your project at once.  When the work is done, your hosting obligations go to zero.

Or this:  your organization issues a monthly report that is hugely popular. By hosting your site or report on the cloud, you can have as much bandwidth as you want during the one day a month when the report is in demand.
Be excited about cloud computing because it could level the playing field between the big and little guys.  Small business will have the opportunity to do big things on infrastructure they no longer need to own. Check Out with ZNetIndia.com for the most exciting plans and ready to build options.

In today’s start-up world, open source software such as web programming language PHP, database software MySQL and Linux are attractive because they can be used free of charge and without having to purchase any licenses. In many cases, running Microsoft software doesn’t even enter the minds of those building solutions in a start-up environment.

Microsoft hopes to change this mentality by offering free products such as Visual Studio, Windows Server, SQL Server and SharePoint to companies who are just starting out and getting their footing financially.

Microsoft, in an effort to gain market share amongst young companies, has announced an ambitious program that would allow certain startups to utilize their server software for free. BizSpark is the name of the new project that will, as Microsoft hopes, encourage start-ups to employ Windows-powered servers in their product offering.

The successful completion of a SAS 70 Type II audit for certification was essential and It’s testimony to the fact that we have the necessary procedures in place to fully secure and protect clients’ online data assets within our corporate data center facilities.

Over the last several years, industry regulatory developments have started to focus the spotlight on corporate accountability. Many corporations are now closely reviewing and seeking to validate the controls over every item that can affect their financial statements, including the controls in place at outsource service providers (OSP.) As a result, companies looking to outsource their IT infrastructure must consider whether to have the company’s auditor conduct a separate audit of the potential provider, or to select a provider that has already completed a recognized audit and validation process.

The necessary review of a provider is a long and arduous task, not to mention very costly. A number of regulatory provisions require that company management take responsibility the company’s financial reporting, as well as the external controls. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that the company has a high degree of confidence in their provider’s internal controls. However, many companies find that attaining this high degree of confidence can be a time-consuming, expensive, and risky undertaking.

Fortunately, Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (”SAS 70″), an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This compliance reports on the controls and internal processes provided by service organizations. This standard is extremely valuable in ensuring proper controls with respect to governance issues, and must factor into the selection of any provider for Managed Services. A SAS 70 review can validate the accuracy and integrity of a managed services provider’s operations to satisfy today’s rigorous reporting requirements, helping a corporation minimize the costs and risks of its own separate review. If the service provider has not gone through a SAS 70 examination, the company faces increased costs and potential risks in using that provider. Increased costs include the added expense of paying the company’s auditors to examine the service organization’s controls, as well as the possibility of weak internal controls, potentially leading to service failures.

SAS 70 certification is a very important standard for hosting providers with respect to its compliance activities. Hosted Solutions has received a qualified, Type II SAS 70 certification, demonstrating our commitment to meeting our partner’s needs. To Hosted Solutions ultimately, a SAS 70 examination reflects a global and integrated service solution. It ultimately proves our true commitment and ability to take to meet these high standards, and to exceed your proactive control over our processes. The certification differentiates a service provider from its peers by demonstrating the establishment of effectively designed control objectives and control activities. This creates a strong sense of trust and offers peace of mind to our clients. We believe that our Type II SAS70 certification stands out among other managed service providers, and reflects our leadership, commitment, and excellence. This certification confirms that Hosted Solutions has internal controls that are suitably designed and operating effectively to administer your mission critical applications.

The SAS 70 audit independently verifies the validity and functionality of a data center’s control activities and processes. These control activities and processes are important to customers within the financial, healthcare, and insurance sectors, as well as to publicly traded companies who must validate the security of their financial and sensitive information controls. A yearly audit is performed to not only verify that procedures are in place and effective, but that they are maintained.

ZNetIndia.com Data Center is able to provide our clients with documentation of the SAS 70 Type II Certification, which will save you time and money and help you, reach PCI Compliance Standards as well.

Benefits to You (User Organization)

User organizations that obtain a Service Auditor’s Report from their service organization(s) receive valuable information regarding the service organization’s controls and the effectiveness of those controls.  The user organization receives a detailed description of the service organization’s controls and an independent assessment of whether the controls were placed in operation, suitably designed, and operating effectively (in the case of a Type II report).

User organizations should provide a Service Auditor’s Report to their auditors.  This will greatly assist the user auditor in planning the audit of the user organization’s financial statements.  Without a Service Auditor’s Report, the user organization would likely have to incur additional costs in sending their auditors to the service organization to perform their procedures.

ZNetIndia.com Managed Hosting Provider providing state-of-the-art data centre locations is happy to have certified, with the highest available standards for measuring and improving data center operations and management.

A web hosting solution service is an internet hosting service that permits individuals and organizations to offer their own websites on the World Wide Web (www).

Companies that provide space for these individuals and companies on their servers are called web hosts. A web host solution company is the entity that provides the grunt work for their clients. Aside from the space on the server, they also provide internet connectivity to other servers not located under their jurisdiction.

The different types of web host solution services that range from the very basic to the complex, depending on the service required by the client. The most common type of hosting is web page hosting wherein web pages of companies and individuals are displayed for all to see.

There are several other web hosting solutions and these are normally limited to the Web.

Free web hosting solution service. This type of service is usually free but contains many advertisements of the companies that pay for the free service. Free web hosting is very limited as compared to other high end hosting.

Shared Web hosting solution service. This shared service is the most economical type of hosting since many people, not just one person, can share in the costs involved to maintain it. The shared web service requires the involvement of a system administrator who runs the service and determines who has access and privileges.

Clustered web hosting solution. This type of hosting is aimed at eliminating the problems encountered by a shared web hosting service. The problem is removed by allowing the client to purchase not only server space but processing power to perform specific or “clusters” of work load in real time. This service is data driven, hence no need for human or operator intervention.

Reseller web hosting solution service. This service allows the client or owner to rent or lease their specific disk space on the server as well as bandwidth to third parties. An example of a reseller service is a web development or web design firm that offers web hosting as part if its services. Reseller hosting is an excellent way for start up companies to make their mark on the web.

Application specific web hosting solution service. This type of service is aimed at providing multiple services to blogs, guilds, image, and video hosting.

There is a kind of web hosting available that is called dedicated IP web hosting. This is also sometimes called static web hosting. This type of hosting provides a unique IP address that is used exclusively for each individual server space or domain. An individual browsing the Internet can access this information held in any one of these servers by going onto a website with a certain domain name or IP address.

There will be differences in these web hosting accounts depending on whether the IP address is shared or unique. A unique IP address can be bought simply by placing an order with any of the multitude service providers that are available. These web hosting companies will provide a unique IP address after full payment has been made. These websites allow the customer to upload content and other files to their own personal, secure web space.

These types of web hosting accounts are ideal for larger businesses or for e-commerce websites that need to be certain that their site offers the most in security. Dedicated IP web hosting is also ideal for individuals that want to buy the unique IP addresses for a premium price. Some individuals may find that they want to go this route due to the fact that it will prevent the website from collecting spam, a problem that can often occur when using a shared website.

Another advantage to using a dedicated IP web hosting service is that it provides for greater flexibility while also allowing for more complex hosting. Two advantages of this are that they include a private SSL certificate and an anonymous FTP. An SSL certificate provides for online businesses that need to make sure that their customers will have secure transactions. The advantage of an anonymous FTP allows people to share information on the Internet. This will allow anybody who is using the Internet to go to that company’s website and access a public directory by using FTP software.

By gaining a dedicated IP web hosting account and securing a unique IP address, it allows the business owner to have full control over their website. By obtaining a dedicated IP address, it allows individuals or business owners to get the most benefit out of their website. This will result in better search engine results, which are much sought after by businesses.

Dedicated IP addresses are highly valued and are considered as prime Internet real estate. Because of this, there are sometimes high service fees associated with this kind of service. It is possible however to find a web hosting company that will offer dedicated IP addresses for a very reasonable price. If a company thinks that they will benefit the most from dedicated IP addresses, it’s very important that research be done on many different companies. Besides the differences in price that all companies are bound to have, there will also be differences that are dependent on the company’s needs and goals. Courtesy ZNetIndia.com
