Whois & Analysis for xignite.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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, offers a suite of cloud computing services that make up an on-demand computing platform.

These services operate from 16 geographical regions across the world.

They include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3".

AWS has more than 70 services, spanning a wide range, including compute, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools and tools for the Internet of things.

Amazon markets AWS as a service to provide large computing capacity quicker and cheaper than a client company building an actual physical server farm.

Data management comprises all the disciplines related to managing data as a valuable resource.
