CloneCloud a smartphone "Booster"

Due to the globalization and the information technology demand from business section, cloud computing is become 1 of the best inovation for the business nowadays.
It's a good decesion for the business in 21st century to chose cloud computing as their database storage,to improve their efficience and effectiveness, also reducing their cost. Instead of rent a data storage provider you can just pick one of the provider of cloud storage and start using them.With cloud computing we can interact with our colleauges easily, share the data, and help the daily business routine such as sending email and arrange the meeting.

cloud computing also give us a good flexibility, with just using our phone we can access out data/file thru our phone. But behide all the flexibility we got from cloud computing thru the phone there is also a several issues we facing. the biggest issues is the battery from the phone can drain-up quickly. Because cloud computing requaire us to have a high speed internet access on our mobile phone.

'That's why Intel Research Berkeley scientists Byung-Gon Chun and Petros Maniatis have been working on a solution to this problem. They've come up with something called CloneCloud" 'clonecloud' use our smartphone's high speed-internet access to created their own 'clone' in the 'cloud', so whenever we need to get our data from the 'Cloud', we can easily get it starightaway without waiting for several times. The main reason why they invented 'clonecloud', to improve our mobilephone capability in the battery life and the connection to the cloud.


 'CloneCloud' wouldn't just make smart phones more efficient: it could also make them more capable. A test application developed by Chun performs face recognition on photos. It required 100 seconds of processor time on a standard Android phone, but it finished in only one second when run by a clone of the phone running on a desktop computer. Because the software runs on a cloud-computing platform, it can be scaled in terms of the amount of both memory allocated and processing power, both of which increase performance on computationally intensive tasks'
the test give the prove to us that with using the 'CloneCloud' it's just like shifting our mobile to silence mode, because all the data from the phone its already copied on the cloud so we can just pick and carry the data anytime we want instead of forcing our mobile to the edge and make it run out of battery.

There is still a problem we facing with clonecloud such as bandwidth limitation, and network latency. And  also in my opinion inorder to optimize the "clone" in our mobile, we need to have a good smartphone to support it and the SIM card provider need to has a good internet connection as well.
"Clonecloud" bring a lot of benefit for the people who actually run their business thru their mobile phone, its not just make your mobile phone run smoothly, on the hand its secure as well. Why i said that ?. because on the same time while you doing your work in your smartphone, the antivirus will also can run as well to protect you mobile from harm.
