Whois & Analysis for cloudworks.com

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.

Disaster recovery (DR) involves a set of policies and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster.

Disaster recovery focuses on the IT or technology systems supporting critical business functions, as opposed to business continuity, which involves keeping all essential aspects of a business functioning despite significant disruptive events.

Disaster recovery is therefore a subset of business continuity.

Telecommunication is the transmission of signs, signals, messages, writings, images and sounds or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems.

Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between communication participants includes the use of technology.

It is transmitted either electrically over physical media, such as cables, or via electromagnetic radiation.

Such transmission paths are often divided into communication channels which afford the advantages of multiplexing.

The term is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies.

The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets owned by a business.

Assets can be either physical or intangible.

An example of value derived from a physical asset, like a building, is rent.

An example of value derived from an intangible asset, like an idea, is a royalty.

The effort involved in "harvesting" this value is what constitutes business operations cycles.

Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm.

It applies to any vulnerable and/or valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, item, nation, or organization.
