Technology Nut Works to Create Cloud Hosting Model that Hosts Data and Information on Physical Clouds
A man in New Hampshire who has been obsessed with all things technology since a young age has decided to take on the task of developing a system that allows data and information to be stored on an actual cloud.
(prHWY.com) May 25, 2012 - Seattle, WA -- Cloud hosting is all about storing data and information on servers that aren't located in that particular physical location. No one really knows where the term cloud came from, but many technicians believe it is because the information is stored away from a place almost like a cloud. While this is the theory no one actually has tried to store data on a cloud, until now.
A man in New Hampshire who has been obsessed with all things technology since a young age has decided to take on the task of developing a system that allows data and information to be stored on an actual cloud.
"I don't know how many times I am asked during a technology seminar why cloud hosting is called cloud hosting", said Tad Wilson. "I think if I were to develop a physical representation of the hosting on a real cloud, it would stop that question from being asked every time I host a seminar."
The ability to store information on an actual cloud is a complex and difficult process. Tad Wilson has had to seek the advice of one of the top ranking officials at the National Weather Center.
"I had the idea but I was unsure how to make it a reality", said Wilson. "I needed someone who knew our weather system and the atmosphere better than anyone I know. That is where Christian Hughes came in. He knew it all."
Christian Hughes spent several years studying the Earth's atmosphere and weather system. He has written several papers on the subject, and even spoke in front of Congress on the issue of global warming.
The idea of
storing information on a cloud is going to be a complex one to initiate, but it is a doable option. The first step in the process is to develop a floating station that allows the technology to actually be stored around the cloud.
"This floating space station won't allow the stuff to be stored physically on the cloud", explained Hughes. "But it will look like it to a passing observer. There is no actual way to store stuff on a cloud, that's just impossible. This will allow it to have a physical representation that looks like a cloud storage, and suits Wilson's need perfectly."
The Windows Cloud Hosting exhibit will be unveiled by Tad Wilson at a technology seminar at the local New Hampshire community college. This will be his first attempt to see how people react to the new physical model.
