I’ve just added a cool IP Subnet Calculator to the blog. Just click on the link or use the menu above to access it.
It provides a lot of useful information including:
- host address
- network mask
- wildcard mask
- broadcast address
- first host in network>
- last host in network

Cloud computing is a term applied to a number of services that are supplied to consumers and businesses via the Internet. In essence the cloud computer is a virtual computer that resides in the internet. That is to say that it does not exist in your home or business but in the data centers of the cloud computing providerrs like Google or Microsoft.

The Google Cloud is powered by thousands, perhaps millions of unique servers and services which house unbelievable amounts of information. These are located in different locations in the world and maintain a number of copies of the information that is accessible on the Internet. The information stored on the latter servers is what makes cloud computing such a powerful possibility when it comes to information access and management. Read the rest of this entry »

DNS stands for Domain Name Server and one of the easyiest approaches to load balancing is via DNS – hence DNS Load Balancing.
With DNS it is possible to allow multiple IP addresses to be associated with a single server name or hostname. So you might have 10 servers at the backend and one server at the front. The IP address of the frontend server is associated with the IP addresses of the backend servers.
