| 4.2. Cloud Solutions |
|
|
|
There are three different variations when it comes to cloud solutions. In
this article we will go over the three version in order to fully understand
how each function. |
|
| 1. "Pure" Cloud |
|
This solution requires nothing be installed onto your computer. These solutions are
accessed from your web browser and function as any other software. They are designed to
work with your browser’s navigation buttons and are rapidly growing in popularity. |
|
| 2. "Hybrid" Cloud |
|
This solution requires a small installation onto your computer. You are only installing an
interface that will allow you to access the solution. For example, some of the screen
sharing/webinar tools widely available today have a small installation before you can access.
The majority of the work the tool is doing will be done in the cloud, not on your computer. |
|
| 3. Virtual Desktop |
|
This solution requires that you install all standard desktop applications on a virtual PC
located in the cloud. That way you have a computer that is fully equipped with all the
necessary tools and access to data. That can be accessed from any computer. For
example, CloudLinx (www.cloudlinx.ca) provides a virtual desktop solution that allows you to
install Quickbooks or Sage 50 directly onto a virtual computer. You are able to access your
virtual desktop from any internet connected device such as smartphone, tablet, Mac etc. |
