High performance networking connecting to cloud services

High performance networking connecting to cloud services

Introduction

Basically, cloud computing is concerned with network access from resources and most specifically from a centralized third party network provider. Cloud networking is significantly facilitated by the use of Wide Area Networking or the access technologies based on internet. Cloud networking is a concept closely related to cloud computing in the sense that similar computing resources are used for the clients in both computing and networking based on cloud (Abrams et al, 2013). This type of networking incorporates the computing resources in which network is broadly shared. In addition, the cloud networking is currently in the front line of diverging network locally and even leading in offering network management functions amongst all other types of computing and networking. This method or technique is preferably considered important because it reduces the number of customer devices to attend to the network.

Significantly, Wireless LAN is known to be the first network to use the cloud based approach to build private networks using the WAN and the LAN connections.  Networking management functions that are crucial are mainly pushed to the cloud by the help of the improved access to the network and secondly, a well and more reliable WAN in use (Abrams et al, 2013). This is actually one of the stake drivers of the cloud computing services as well as the cloud software. This in turn has led to the better job market by attracting more customers how may wish to build networks using the cloud computing services.

A well based and a standard cloud networking product achieves centralized management and control of the network. This management function of the cloud computing include arranged distribution of wireless access routers and devises related to branch office using centralized management.  The objective of cloud computing is to create, manage and ensure that networks are secured privately by leveraging wan connections and a centralized management policy (Abrams et al, 2013). Basically, cloud computing and networking ensures that its services are connective, secure, and manageable and that the control can be taken over them.

Cloud networking from the second perspective can be understood as a software defined networking for offering network services and from which all other networks devices can switch on to network from there. This shift is normally defined as the Software defined Networking. There are some of the startups pursuing new technology for optimizing connectivity using the SD-WAN. These startups include cloudgenisx, pertino, velocloud and the viptela.

Software defined WAN

This defined WAN is connected to cloud computing through the services provided and there it is primarily used to ensure that fewer management devices installed in branch offices or in through clients premises to reduce cost and enhance accessibility to the network and secondly to offer better management functions for a wider networks. The use of cloud networking to manage and deploy network functions across the WAN is also being described in this WAN software.  The trend involving developing a wider array of network dispersion compared to the WAN free network. The main objective of this is to free up or clear services from being attached to some of the connected hardware in function so that the services can be deployed quickly using software (Grubb, 2014). This networking connections improved access to the customers whenever in need of use of the network.

High Performance Networking

It is basically the use of the parallel processing for application programs efficiently, quickly and reliably. The term solely applies to the systems that are above teraflop and float point operations per second. High performance is commonly used to refer to the computing typically meant for supercomputing. However, High Performance Computer networking is the common service provider to many engineers and the researchers of various academic institutions. One of the reasons at why, many organizations, individuals and groups prefer to use High Performance Networking is that it offers services with a high processing power and secondly, it encourages grown of most of the enterprises currently in operation. According to Grubb (2014), High Performance networking services are highly compatible due to its high speed and therefore can be used by organizations of all types particularly for transaction, data warehouses and processing in general.

Distributed computing

Necessarily, for the users in operations or in other words, business premises in competition motives, the use of the High Performance  networking places a foundation for the critical mission and net centric operations the time the data volumes and the real time data tend to grow higher and higher at the same time (Grubb, 2014). Most of the organizations prefer relying on the distributed computing environment. For this case , High Performance Networks is the most suitable network to use or install due to its advantages of bandwidth, high latency and high levels of reliability as compared to all other methods that ever been installed. Some of the situations of business enterprises that would uniquely require the use of High Performance Networks are, data centre, replication and datacenter disaster recovery because these are the areas in which high volume of data transfer and low latency to meet the critical mission requirements are found.         However, there are some of the High Performance Networks that require expensive resources before they lie on the plans of use by the customers.  This does not place an obstacle the access of the expensive high performance data but the problem is perfected through the installation of the dynamic circuit connection into the system.  The target of the distributed computing is to allow applications to put in use the computing and data resources located at a widely separated location. This idea helps the firms to share and discuss on the better ways to solve the problems by identifying weakness within an organization which are due to the problems caused.

The truth has it that, the problems, difficult or the possible breakdowns associated to distributed computing result to a numerous challenges that possibly exceeds the challenges and this is in turn has considerably made customers shift from the distributed computing to the other methods where the real  benefits outweigh the challenges associated with the system itself. The two critical challenges associated with the distributed computing is the low bandwidth and high latency as a result of distributing network to a wide area. Instead, the most recommended compatibles of the distributed computing in the High Performance Networks is the high bandwidth, low latency option to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in operations. Notably, one of the ways devised to enhance and improve the bandwidth in distributed computing is the adoption of the widespread division multiplexing. This creates more capacity for the bandwidth for the network to be able to perform effectively in distributed computing.

Distributed computed is not the first network to be installed or for its awareness to sneak to customers but over the years it has been there.  With the current technology, there are very few updates that are being performed to this network as compared to the other type of networks offered. This is because of its high rigidity to compatibility in terms of band width and latency. Although it can disperse a common services a big number of people in varying area. This king of networking is not considered .by the customers because of the slowness to adapt to the customers preferences and expectations and the standards of the High Performance Networking plans.

Uses of cloud computing to small business

• Its high speed saves .business money and time on the sector of boosting productivity.
• High Performance Networking in cloud computing facilitates collaboration which in turn promotes innovation.
• Cloud computes provides a widespread number of services .such emails, application hosting and web-based system

Generally, cloud computing is accessed by individuals, organizations, private and public limited companies, government and businesses among other organizations.  Apart from data storage, cloud computing is primarily and among all other networks, used to store data on internet from the central data base such that everybody can access whenever in need. Despite the speed, high bandwidth and low latency advantages of the cloud computing, the system is usually associated with some drawbacks that make its operations difficult to achieve. For instance, the main challenge is the twofold.  This is basically the expense incurred in the initial installation of the cloud networking. The need of the well trained personnel, a well troubleshooting system during the event of launching the system. Also and the most significantly, one has to suffer cost and time for orienting employees to the system, because it is very importance for any successful performance expected.

Computer networking connecting options

There are various options to connect with in a computer networking system. Due to the various networking options each organization should choose on the appropriate option which will fit its operations well. It also must ensure that the option is adaptive to the people involved to avoid chaos in the organization. There are various decisions to consider when designing to install a network system in an organization. Some of these various issues to consider include the already available instruments in the organization, whether the network to install will suit the organization or not, the preferences and choices of the customers, what additional instruments and infrastructure is useful in the installation process and the cost of installing the network system (Mauch et al, 2013).

The first step is to design and plan on the scale of network installation. This may involve Local Area Network or Wide Area Network. Local Area Network is mostly applied in a small scale area such as single building or si.ple business organization. Its network coverage is restricted to such small area. On the other hand Wide Area Network connects a large area or many organizations a d their resource. The cost of installing it is high as compared to local ea network. All computing and networking are based on components and hardware hence this should be considered seriously in network implementation. The appropriate hardware should be selected to ensure efficiency in the company’s activities. Some knowledge and skills are required still in deciding which components to purchase.

There are still some factors to considering purchasing this hardware. These factors may include; compatibility, durability, flexibility and ease of use to suit the users. Data cables are very useful as they are used to transmit data from one source to the next. They may fall under various categories. These categories include: coaxial cable, optical fiber, wireless and twisted pair cables. Twisted pair cables and wireless connections are mostly installed in local area network due to their cheapness in installing. Coaxial cable and optical fiber are expensive and hard to install. This makes the not be common in most organizations (Mauch et al, 2013). There is still the Wireless Access Point which connects and transmits radio signals. Wireless access points used in homes or small business are small such ads antennae and radio transmitters.

Another form of computer networking is extender. An extender increases the area in which a signal can spread and further prevents any obstacles which may interfere with these signals. In addition to these another network system is the network power line adaptor which facilitates electric communication without the support of other networks. A network switch may even be considered in an organization. It is useful in connecting various computers in an organization using local area network. This will assist in making coordination easy in the organization activities (Mauch et al, 2013). Furthermore a router is also considered in network installation due to its ability to connect various networks. It can be used to connect local area network or even wide area networks. Organizations will install these various network systems depending on their ability or even their needs.

Performance expectation of cloud networking

For a computer network to be installed in any organization various steps have to be followed in order to ensure well performance of the system. In the process decisions and suggestions are made by different group. A very critical step is the objectives and the goals of the network. This will state the needs of the network and its functions. It will also provide the expectations which the organization dream of. Generally this installation is made to enhance and provide improvement in the organization’s activities and performance (Vasilakos et al, 2015). Firstly the management will be aiming at ensuring proper access to shared resources in the organization. These resources may be in form of different forms such as data, information for management and coordination of activities. It can also mainly involve internet connection which is shared among by all the staff members in the organization. This will hence tend to lower the cost of initiating internet connection to individuals because it is higher.

Furthermore a single machine can be connected to various users at a go hence lowering the cost of purchasing each individual a machine. In the process of installing the computer network the management will be expecting to enhance sharing of resources which will eventually lead to low cost of performance. Secondly, many organizations will try their best to install computer networks in order to enhance storage of their information. Information is very useful to any organization for proper performance hence need to e stored in a well manner and in an easy accessible condition. This will be well achieved by providing the organization with well devised computer systems. The management will install the systems with a major a goal of proper storage of information to safeguard the organization farewell.

These computer networks also make the storage of information to be safe because they can be able to interchange and access the information from one source. This is greatly achieved through information backup in the different connected computer systems in the organization. This also prevents altering of the information mainly because it is not accessible by one user because everyone in the institution is able to get reach of it (Vasilakos et al, 2015). In addition to this an organization will have a main goal to provide information update incase of any need. An improvised computer system will easily provide information update in easy and convenient manner as compared to analog systems. This still will make it simple for the organization to make a forward step in any enhancement hence saving cost and to some extend the cost of the process.

Furthermore, computer networking is very useful in enhancing information sharing and communication between either individuals or departments in any institution. It does so by making the communication process faster and even cheap. This will then enhance proper and faster coordination   of day to day activities. This will also minimize the time wasted by individuals moving from one department to the next to offer information (Abrams et al, 2013). Information sharing and communication is a main goal in establishing a computer networking. An organization will still aim at reducing the cost of operation when improvising a computer networking process. This can be achieved through a great task which could have been carried out by a group of employees being tackled by a single individual through the assistance of the networking computer systems. This will tend to reduce the number of employees hence minimizing salary expenses to the institution.

The organization can also control and carry out its activities using this computer methods which may be cheaper compared to other methods. Finally an organization which is applying computer networking systems is flexible to its activities because it will be easy for it to get connected to the new trends in the market (Abrams et al, 2013). Management of the organization will ensure installation of these services in order to place themselves in the current market trends. An institution in this kind of systems will also be able to well match with the other related organizations.

Configuration of networking for optimal performance

After the system has been established it should be maintained, repaired, expanded and even upgraded to suit the current conditions and requirements (Vasilakos et al, 2015). This will make the network connections stronger and efficient hence putting the organization in a higher competitive ranking. The institution also need to minimize and avoid the configuration errors in order to make the system reliable for to the customers and required user .This errors tend to hinder the performance of the system hence should be dealt away with in advance to safeguard these systems. The errors can still lead to losses in the organization such as loss of information and data, poor communication and coordination and also poor management in the entire institution.

It is also very important for the organization to ensure that the systems are well secured to avoid any external interference. This interference may be in form of hacking the software leading to dales information or any other informal activities (Vasilakos et al, 2015). This can be done through restricted access or providing safe means to access the systems. The system should be installed and also controlled in a manner that it does not interfere with other systems in the organization. Interference with other systems will eventually cause failure to many activities. For proper running of the organization these systems should be well maintained and also flexible.
