The cloud...... It's just other peoples servers.

8th Grade English: The Cloud = a hard drive connected to the internet.

[@jamesfix1141]

When you see how things really work, it is quite amazing.

[@captainkeyboard1007]

It encourages me to appreciate computer technology more.

[@halvor9797]

This video was provided to you from the cloud

[@theshield44]

This explains the Cloud even better than the professor in my grad school course! Well done!

[@JoshHookerJoshhook123]

This is a bad example of explaining cloud computing. Websites and things like that being in data centers is no way, shape, or form new. The concept behind how they function is what separates the “cloud” from typical computing practices.

[@cristianmarint]

[@bjdon99]

Living here in the LC, I am astounded at the # of new Data Centers that have been built just in the past 2 years. They aren't great employers once the construction is finished either. Just a few IT people to keep the places running, and some security guards to keep the wrong sorts of people out.

[@stachowi]

ON the contrary. Its a perfect op to land a job as an It guy since their is so many of them.

[@dreamcatcher478]

Thanks for making a very good section on cloud.

[@autohmae]

But let's make it very clear that 70% figure was an exaggeration.:-)

[@cuddy90210]

Thank you.

[@ardentdfender4116]

This now makes sense to me. A few months ago I was on a project doing some work at the Stonewall Power Plant in that area and actually in that very same county. As I drove around, I got the idea that seemed like s very affluent area, very new rapidly building area and some whopping large long buildings very non-descript with no names. I kept wondering what the heck all those buildings were as I didn’t know much about the area. This now all makes sense just what the heck these buildings were and the affluence of that very county.

[@georgekraus9357]

Some of them are actually run by Intelligence agencies and OGA (special name for Other Government Agency, highly classified)

[@Arperture]

Most of the affluence is related to Loudoun’s proximity to DC and government, but Tech industry does play a roll.

[@forestriver437]

News tech stories trip me out lol. They make it seem so foreign.

[@mediis]

LOL ... remember when most of the internet went down when one line was cut in a rail tunnel?

[@DudesGamingProject]

No.

[@ramade9040]

I am born in mid 50’s but never heard of it. Do you have any link?

[@intothebeyond8763]

Data storage has gotten so cheap for how much space you can get that you don't really need a cloud service. But the big tech companies don't want the average person to know that .

[@allenboyer2207]

Showing this to a class tomorrow. Nice video!

Dead eyeball wont work to get into an AWS server site? I’m going to need some proof.

[@212admin9]

A well done intro but there is much more complexity in "cloud". Search phrases such as "cloud private vs cloud public", "hosted vs cloud" & "Multi-tenancy". Actually it seems nobody agrees on the exact meaning of the term "cloud". Many data centers are "co-lo" which actually just houses your servers while cloud seems to use their servers to host your applications but you are not renting rack space, you are sharing usage of their apps such as Microsoft Office 365. Start thinking in terms of applications. SD Wan is more info which will confuse the issue, but SD Wan isn't a pure setup, it usually continues with traditional server networking and routing along side with SD. This is evolving rapidly.

[@rahman_jai]

Intresting..

[@MAG320]

the cloud is what saves people's lives. Banks, web apps on phones & Even government operations run on the cloud. It would take ages to process information otherwise.

[@scallen3841]

Yet before computers all the information was processed hmm

How much storage is there in this data center ? 1000 ? 2000 ?

Petabytes.

[@nftcryptokunst2998]

We don't go on the internet. *We LIVE the internet!*

[@captainkeyboard1007]

A documentary of at least 30 minutes about data centers, the "Cloud" would be nice. Much of the KZbin audience will not get a chance to see the work in a data center. Now I clearly understand what is the Cloud.

[@govindbagariya9784]

Great video

[@micheledeidda2565]

do i have to bring an umbrella to visit the datacenter?

[@seancondon5572]

So, question: does CBS News have its own data center or is it using another company for data center services?

[@amjedjabari1929]

Simply Linux servers.

[@RoganPlant]

Is Loudoun County's lure tax breaks/holidays the deal breaker to build there? If not, what is/are the draw(s)? Also, for the workers on the lowest rung at these data centers, is reliable public transportation and affordable housing available in the county?
