‘The Cloud’

Changing Software Models
![Page 8: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
‘The Cloud’ as a shift in Software delivery
Software as a product
Software over the Internet
Software as an App (in an ecosystem)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
![Page 9: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Product versus service – an analogy
When you buy “Software as a Service” or SaaS, you are ‘renting’ access to the computers that run the software
![Page 10: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Example: Adobe Creative Suite
Product: Adobe Creative Suite (CS6)Design and Web Edition
Service: Adobe Creative Cloud
$449.00 (education price) $29.99 / month (education price)
9 Creative Suite Applications All 24 Creative Suite Applications
Version CS6 Latest version of all applications
Although Adobe Creative Cloud is sold as SaaS, the applications do not run in the Cloud. You still need to download the applications to your computer.

Synchronous Collaboration
![Page 14: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example
![Page 15: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Activity: Collaborating with Google Docs
• Precursor to Google Drive• Allows multiple people to work on a document at the same
time• Requires Internet connection
![Page 16: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Activity Debrief
• What do you think?• Do you see using it for:
– Teaching?– Research?– Collaboration?
![Page 17: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
File Management Services
![Page 18: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
File Management Challenges
• Getting files onto devices• Keeping track of most recent version• Keeping old copies• Backing up just in case
![Page 19: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Managing Multiple Versions
If you want to access a file when you are not connected to the Internet (offline access), you must make a copy of that file for your local deviceThere is no ‘magic’ solution to managing multiple copies – just services to help you keep track of the latest version and avoid conflicts
![Page 20: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Making changes
![Page 21: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Two versions of the same file
![Page 22: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Data Synchronization
Every time your device connects to the Internet - the application checks to see if you have the latest version or if you have made changes
If necessary it automatically uploads or downloads the new files
![Page 23: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Data Synchronization may happen:
• Automatically when you connect• Only when you connect via Wifi• At specific intervals (for always connected devices)• At specific times• When something changes (e.g. you close a file)
A synchronization service also manages conflicts
![Page 25: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Activity: Dropbox
• This activity focuses on file sharing, synchronizing, and collaboration
• Dropbox also helps with file management across devices(we will cover this in the next session “Going Mobile”)
![Page 26: Getting your head into 'the Cloud'](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/58ec9b691a28abfb748b4649/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Debrief
• How did Dropbox differ from Google Docs?• When would you use one versus the other?
