Adaptation to new applications Sample Clauses

Adaptation to new applications. Peer-to-peer systems have traditionally been used for file sharing among peers. Their flexibility and scalability, however, can lead to support of new applications that cannot be built with existing technology. Such an application is the distributed access and processing of data in real-time. Another application is discovery of malicious attacks, like worms and viruses. Nowadays, on the Internet, there are thousands of systems that collect information about the security of the systems they guard. Such systems can be firewalls, anti-virus systems and Intrusion detection systems. Composing data from all these systems, one could information for the global security status of the Internet, like the geographical distribution of a virus spread and the creation and spread of novel worms. Because of the huge amount of data produced by these systems, centralized solutions for data gathering and processing is prohibitive. On the contrary, a peer-to-peer system can locate and filter the information faster as the needed operations are performed near the information source. Peer-to-peer business value and exploitation In addition to providing ways for flexible file-sharing and better collaboration, peer- to-peer technology is finding new roles in the enterprise world. The decentralized nature of peer-to-peer systems offers to companies a variety of systems to choose in order to achieve desktop-to-desktop collaboration, remote storage, business process management and composite applications. Desktop-to-desktop collaboration, in particular, has great potential, allowing professionals in different vertical markets around the globe to work on the same project, thereby increasing productivity and decreasing travel costs. Despite security concerns and a misunderstanding of peer-to-peer multiple forms and levels of control, the benefits for connecting people, resources and processing power are slowly emerging from the hype.
