Buzzword guide explains commonly-used cloud computing terms
To explain terms commonly used to describe cloud computing, European Automation has released a buzzword guide for the automation industry. Like many rapidly developing sectors, the automation industry is prone to using buzzwords to describe innovative processes. Terms such as ‘Industry 4.0’, ‘disruptive technology’ and the ‘Internet of Things’ are examples of these words.
Although cloud computing has been around for a number of years, it is constantly improving and becoming more bespoke. In its first industry buzzword guide, European Automation has explained ten popular cloud computing terms that are often referred to in technical documents without definition. The buzzword guide acts as a reference point for both customers and suppliers.
"Companies want to record information for two reasons: compliance and most importantly, power," commented Darren Halford, Group Sales Manager, European Automation. "Big Data is the idea that storing masses of information can help identify patterns that allow companies to make more accurate market predictions. To store hundreds of terabytes of data effectively, many companies are turning to cloud-based storage.
"However, as with any specialised modern technology, cloud computing comes with a whole host of acronyms, buzzwords and technical phrases that describe some fairly basic ideas and services. To help less techy people out, we decided to compile a list of the top ten most commonly used terms and give a short definition for each one."
The buzzword guide is available for download from the industry guides section of the company’s website.
