DOSSIER Cloud Computing : évolution ou révolution ? Depuis trois ans environ, un concept fait fureur dans le monde du high-tech : celui de Cloud Computing ou, pour reprendre la traduction française, « d'informatique dans le nuage ».
Pas un salon spécialisé, pas une revue informatique, pas une nouvelle offre logicielle qui ne fasse référence au « Cloud ». Même Apple s'est converti à cette terminologie en lançant son nouveau service de stockage des données personnelles, « iCloud ». Selon le cabinet Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC), en 2011, le marché du Cloud devrait atteindre plus d'1 milliard d'euros en France avec une progression de près de 30 % en un an. Mais si le terme est de plus en plus utilisé, sa véritable signification reste floue, voire brumeuse, pour bon nombre d'entreprises. Le principe du Cloud est pourtant assez simple.

And not just a few dozen Gigabytes, Terabytes or even Petabytes, but all of it – infinite storage – for only $10 per month.

The company is launching a new cloud storage, syncing and sharing service that blows away its competitors, including hard drive manufacturers and online services like DropBox and SkyDrive, with ease. In fact, beyond the pricing and limitless storage, the most disruptive thing about the service is its complete integration with your device.

But Bitcasa is not like any of those services. When you save a file, Bitcasa writes those 1′s and 0′s to its server-side infrastructure in the cloud. And the pricing! That’s the easy part, actually.

Semaine du 14 juillet : la France défile et prend quelques jours de vacances.
Le lien avec l’informatique dans les nuages ? Le 14 juillet célèbre la Révolution française et la devise de la France : Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Google announced the availability of two Chromebooks — laptops based on Google's Chrome OS — at the Google I/O conference Wednesday, but the hardware specifications of those machines are almost completely irrelevant.
According to Google, what makes these laptops interesting is not what they have, it's what they lack: programs, messy desktops or locally stored documents. A Chromebook is not really a laptop, and it's not really a computer, Google claims. It's the web in a "computer-like object" and if you believe Google, "you can do everything on the web. " Of course, the lack of desktop software does have some benefits, such as a startup time as fast as 8 seconds. Furthermore, the fact that your files are stored in Google's cloud mean they're quite safe: You can literally throw your Chromebook into a river and you won't lose your stuff.
The question, however, is whether the world is ready to completely move into the cloud?
