TRANSCRIPT
What is it ?• A Cloud Computing Operating System or Web Operating
System is basically mimicking a desktop operating system on the Internet. The main advantages of this operating system are that it can be accessed from any computer or device with Internet connection. It also means that it is platform independent as it can be accessed from any web browser supporting the technology used by the web operating system.
• Eye OS is an Open Source Platform designed to hold a wide variety of Web Applications over it. Eye OS was thought as a new definition of Operating System, where everything inside it can be accessed from everywhere through a web browser.
How is it used
• It can be used from everywhere as long as we have access to a computer with a web browser and Internet connection. No matter if we use it to share photos with relatives living in a different country, store contacts, organize our tasks, do some quick word processing, read/send e-mails, play simple board games – eye OS will always be there for us.
what can we do with it @ SPSU
• Eye OS can provide SPSU with a full web platform where students, teachers and parents will have a personal yet collaborative desktop to work and, communicate between themselves and get organized inside and outside the SPSU.
• The students and teachers will have an easy-to-learn Desktop System, to work with resources and communicate with other students and teachers.
Implementation
• Download the latest installer.• Extract the files from the archive that we have downloaded.• Connect to the web server through a FTP client.• Upload the files that we have just extracted into a previously
created "eye OS" folder (on my web server).• Now we have opened up Firefox browser and typed in the
eye OS installation path and follow the instructions till the installation ends.
• That's it, now we can access eye OS with our web browser.
Benefits• Eye OS can be used to share information , store various data as
text, upload photos, save links and more.• Eye OS is pretty easy to install and it has its own virtual file
system .• We can customize it and the best part is that we can install
more application for it, if the pre-installed ones do not satisfy our needs.
• We just needs web browser to access the information which is kept on our home pc or somewhere else. The best part is that the information remains unchanged.
Drawbacks
• The main drawback is that it doesn’t work like an real operating system i.e. we cannot right click on files and folders to access different functions.
• As we can’t drag and drop file and folder from real operating system to Eye OS .
• Internet plays an great role in performance of Eye OS so if internet speed is low in that case Eye OS is lagging.
