Quick question, “What is the Cloud?”Quick question, “What is the Cloud?”
MAGNET - Product Definitions
• Modern computing in the age of the Internet is a strange and remarkable thing. As you sit hunched over your laptop at home watching a YouTube video or using a search engine, you’re actually plugging into the collective power of thousands of computers that serve all this information to you from far-away rooms distributed around the world. It’s almost like having a massive supercomputer at your beck and call, thanks to the Internet.
• This phenomenon is what we typically refer to as cloud computing.
• With a cloud enabled solution of MAGNET Enterprise, users are empowered to:
– Instantly share Chat messages with other Company members using MAGNET Field, Office Tools, and / or Enterprise
– See their own rover receivers collecting data in real time
– Send and receive project files directly to and from the field. At the end of their day, field crews will send their work up to the cloud where office staff will see it appear instantly for processing.
• Welcome to the future of collaborative digital mapping!
