RENO (AP) â Despite overall numbers in the tens of thousands, mustang advocates say the wild horse is on the verge of going extinct in North America for the second time in 13,000 years and deserves protection under the Endangered Species Act alongside grizzly bears, the desert tortoise and humpback whales.
A server farm is a group of computers acting as servers, housed together in a single physical location. A virtual server is a server shared by two or more individuals, so that each owner can use and administer it as though they had complete control of it. Virtual server farms combine these two concepts in the cloud.

In this blog post, I will explain cloud delivery models. In general there are three major delivery models: â¢ Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) â¢ Platform as a service (PaaS) â¢ Software as a service (SaaS) Let me explain each one in detail, using a scenario of having ice cream for some guests in your home. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) You could buy milk from the grocery shop, add the ingredients, put it in the ice cream maker and after few hours the ice cream would be ready! Here, you bought the basic ingredient (milk) from the store and processed it. Similarly, if you want to host a email service for your company, you could buy âcomputing powerâ from a cloud vendor, then install databases and applications to run your email service. So you are buying the basic infrastructure as a service from a cloud vendor. You get the basic infrastructure from the cloud vendor, and itâs up to you to decide what to do with it. Half of the milk that you bought from the shop can be used for ice cream and you could drink the rest.
