Exalogic

Oracle, the world's No. 3 software maker unveiled a new all-in-one product to help companies manage cloud computing.

Its called Exalogic - this combined server, storage and networking technology with Oracle's software - that companies can use to run their business applications.

"The whole idea of cloud computing is to have a pool of resources that is shared among many different applications inside your company," Ellison said.

He said that Exalogic takes advantage of virtualisation technologies and is elastic enough to meet surgers in demand for computing power within companies.

For those of you that are not sure of the term, virtualisation, it is simply the process of presenting the set of computing resources such that they can be accessed in ways anywhere and is not restricted by physical configuration.

Cloud computing is the hottest issue right now. Gone are the days, where you have to use a particular desktop or laptop of yours to see the information stored.

You do not need to fear about the inconvenience whereby you have to switch on your desktop to look for something in it when you are actually using your laptop now.

In today's century, you can just store the thing you need in the cloud and you can access it via a laptop or a desktop.

Right now, the storage systems online are being developed and soon, you will be able to store tonnes of information online and you will be able to retrieve it at lightning speed too. The servers in the various data centers are being developed and the data centers are, too being expanded.

It is just a matter of time when cloud computing takes over the world.
