Mobile Application Developers Opting for Cloud Service

Mobile application developers are taking note of cloud computing. With some popular applications recording a huge number of downloads, cloud service, which can be defined as borrowing of IT resources, is getting an increasing attention for its advantages in traffic handling and cost reduction. 

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), a type of cloud service for leasing servers and storages, is an effective method to cope with a sudden traffic surge. As the cost is in proportion to the amount used, it can be especially attractive to small and mid-sized mobile application firms. Currently, most of those companies are run by 20 or less staff each and they find it burdensome to maintain their own computing resources. 
　 
“We are going to promote our cloud service mainly to mobile service firms with many members or download hits,” said KT, adding, “We expect that those companies concerned about skyrocketing users and traffic will get much interested in it.” source

A Mobile service that saves voicemail and recordings to the cloud

Irish company RecordMyCall.ie has developed a new service that allows the user to record all important phone calls and save all valuable voicemail messages to the internet cloud.

The service requires no purchase or installation of equipment and works from mobiles and landlines. The cloud-based offering works by dialling just one number.

RecordMyCall.ie also allows you to record a meeting or dictate notes and as such this service will prove hugely beneficial for solicitors, doctors, accountants and journalists, amongst other professional users.

Recordings can be immediately emailed for dictation and backup, eliminating the need to return to the office with a dictaphone.

Adventurer Pat Falvey has also started using RecordMyCall.ie to record his daily reports as he treks across the ice and snow to the North Pole - he wanted a solution that took his call recording at any time and had the ability to email the MP3 file to his website.

Voicemail has become a critical part of people’s lives

With more than 5m mobile phones in use in Ireland, voicemail has become a critical part of people’s personal and business lives.

The voicemail service is operational across O2, Vodafone, Meteor, 3 and Tesco Mobile.

Users register using a mobile phone by calling 01 52 42 171. RecordMyCall sends you a welcome text – you reply with your email address and all recordings are automatically sent to this email address (recordings are in a standard MP3 format).

Recordings are securely encrypted, and users must comply with the Irish Data Regulator.

The cost of using the service ranges from 1 cent per minute to record a meeting or dictate notes, to 10 cents a minute to record a landline call, to 25 cents a minute to record a valuable voicemail message.

“We believe Recordmycall.ie will prove an invaluable service in people’s lives and we are currently offering a free trial,” Paul McCarthy of RecordMyCall.ie said.

“For now, you can use this service to call any landline or mobile numbers, 0818 and 1850 numbers.

“And we will soon be able to offer international call recording. Our secure computer data centre is located in Ireland and our website was designed and developed in Ireland. We’re an Irish business supporting Irish businesses.” source
