Cloudy days are not bad at all!

I subscribe to a couple of high technology magazines, but I rarely have time to read them. I did notice on a recent issue of Oracle Magazine, articles on cloud computing. Coincidentally, this week’s discussion does delve into this subject area. Now a have a clearer understanding of the concept and how this can be a money and time saver for businesses. Cloud computing could possibly have application at my place of work. One of the requirements of tracking satellites, rockets, planes is to retrieve and record information. Depending on the launch requirements the end user certainly want to review their data. Currently the recording media in use has some performance concerns. Replays or playback have been uneven at times and then there is the time to retain the information. Clouding computing could be a solution, but the concern would be the level of security since much of the information processed in my section is classified. Therefore, I will research this topic more extensively and perhaps present my findings to my supervisor for review. Speaking of clouds, there were overcast skies for a 5K Race I participated in Saturday to support the American Cancer Society. This race was sponsored by a local shoe store, Vernon Powell, now in its tenth year. I have participated each year and this year I finally won free sneakers!
