Data Somewhere out there – Computing in the Clouds
Technology advances, and with it, new terms build up. Grid computing has been shifted to “Cloud Computing”. As the name suggests the data is somewhere in the clouds simply because large groups of servers that often use low-cost consumer PC technology are networked together, with specialized connections to spread data-processing chores across them.
You don’t know where the server located is and where is the data amongst multiple servers but it is ensured that you have created repository of information which will stay lifelong irrespective of common problems of losing data- computer crashes; file lost or damaged.
All you need to implement cloud computing is: servers, nodes to connect to server, a controlling server to handle other servers, applications to be loaded on the cloud,
fast internet connections and an open source software required for binding the clusters and provide virtualization.
The Journey from a Distributor to a Brand
Lessons learned from a distributor who ventured to launch his own brand....
- Contributed by Akash Kumar, Sales Buddy
Recently I was handling one of our clients (let us call it Ram Pvt. Ltd.) from the IT hardware industry. They were into IT networking products, under which they were mainly focused on IT networking cables i.e. CAT5E, CAT6, CAT6A LAN cables and Fiber networking cables. It was interesting to work with this client due to two reasons. First, Ram Pvt. Ltd was the only Indian company that had a presence in this specific product category. They were competing against MNCs who were having a stronghold all over the world. Second, they were changing their image from Trading Company (Distributors of MNCs brand) to a branded company with their own global brand.
While handling this client, I came across a number of new challenges which I feel that one can learn only through experience. Based on my learning, I am presenting those precautionary steps which a distributor firm must take before launching their own brand.
