Zoho Goes to the Cloud

Cloud computing is the latest ‘thing’. It’s hot shit at the moment, and I think it’s probably the way of the future. The web company I work with for all of my projects, Redwerks, used cloud computing for the Eckert Tolle/Oprah event. The Oprah site crashed, Eckhert’s site stayed up. Cloud is the way of the future.

And now, Zoho has opened themselves up to an SQL database. You can now:

• Use SQL to interact with your business data stored across Zoho services
• Use any major SQL dialect (ANSI, Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2, MySQL and more)
• Support for JDBC and ODBC drivers for transparent and easy connectivity
• Implement in both traditional in house software and hosted/SaaS (Software as a Service) applications

Essentially, you can now access your business data stored on the zoho cloud through an SQL database, which means that your data will rarely be unreachable and Zoho shouldn’t go down. Shouldn’t.
