Cloud responsible for delivering data hosted outside the United States

In the wake of Edward Snowden revelations about the extent of U.S. spying in the world, major companies have against Web-sued and sometimes technically: Google, Microsoft etc..haveasked, sometimes together, courts the right to communicate about what they are asked by the intelligence services and police, and some have begun to offer accommodationoutside American soil.History overcome thedreaded leakcustomers.

These providers come to wipe a negative judgment on behalf of the U.S. government, said federal Judge James Francis, New York (judgment in PDF), American Internet services, web hosting and email, may be required transmit data hosted elsewhere.

Data hosted in Dublin

In this case, Microsoft refused to disclose the contents of e-mails from one of its users, whose data were in a server in Ireland, Dublin, and not on American soil.He was asked in particular, the judgment sets out the content of all messages stored in the account, such as those received sent the contact list, all other identifying information, including name, physical address, telephone phone, the dates and duration of sessions, the IP address of account creation, those sessions, etc..

Before Microsofts refusal to supply in the present case, data after finding they were located outside the United States, the judge indicates that Internet providers (ISP) are governed by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986. And it provides its legal analysis, that of the virtual nature of the accommodation, which is not a physical home, ISPs are not limited in the case of a warrant by national borders ."What determines the production of documents is control, not the location," cites the judge (the text does not specify which department or agency has requested the data in question).

Providers can be objected to concerned customers that it is only in cases of criminal investigations that such mandates are produced - and Microsoft has also announced its intention to appeal the judgment of New York.But pending a possible appeal jurisprudence contrary, we can only see once again that U.S. does definitely not stop at their borders.

What Is Cloud Computing and Its benefits

Cloud computing is an Internet-based computer system and remote data centers to manage information services and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to manage files and use applications without installing them on any computer with Internet access.

This technology offers a much more efficient use of resources such as storage, memory, processing and bandwidth by providing only the necessary resources at all times.

The term "Cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet and originates in the cloud used to represent Internet network diagrams as an abstraction of the infrastructure it represents. A simple example of cloud computing is the system of electronic documents and applications Google Docs / Google Apps.

For the use of Cloud Computing, There is no need to install software or have any kinda server, just an Internet connection to use any of their services. The server and management software in the cloud (Internet) are directly managed by the service provider. Thus, it is much simpler for the consumer to enjoy the benefits.

In other words, the information technology becomes a service that is consumed in the same way we consume electricity or water. That is called "Cloud Computing", respectively.
