StaffCloud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Staff Cloud is a term used to describe a massively distributed model of work production & staffing available within the cloud computing paradigm. In the Staff Cloud paradigm, work that is traditionally dependent on local offices, local talent pools & local networks is shifted or extended to be accessible & deliverable via the internet. Work production migrates to areas where better talent can deliver better results at lower cost.
StaffCloud applications utilize massive peer-to-peer clusters of superior talent that deliver work through data centers & powerful servers that host web applications and web services. They can be accessed by any organization with a suitable internet connection and a standard browser. In the ‘Staff’ paradigm, an organization comprised of full & part time staff. In the ‘Staff Cloud’ paradigm an organization comprises fewer local staff & a mix of work services (payroll, hr, marketing, sales, accounting, R & D) from the available ‘Staff Cloud’.
[edit] Architecture
The architecture behind a StaffCloud is a network of 'staff service providers' interconnected as if in a grid (grid computing) running in parallel. Work production follows a Server Oriented Architecture (SOA) where the organization pays only incrementally for work provided rather than incurring the costs & risks associated with salaried production. Parallelization across time-zones allows for massive increases of work production while decreasing costs.
[edit] Implementation
Staff Cloud services are often provided using cloud computing applications and are designed to mimic the experience of local talent resources.
