Today, an organisation’s data is not limited to small files that store employee data. Various kinds of data are being stored and the amount of data is growing day by day. This requires a number of separate servers which at some point in time is not feasible. The IT World has as such come up with a solution called Virtualization. All the data that is required to be stored on the servers is stored on the Cloud in Virtual Servers. These servers can be Database Servers, Web Servers, Application Servers or any other for that matter. Microsoft Azure is such a service that can help the users deploy their data on the net for different purposes.

About Watford

Watford is a town located in Hertfordshire, England, located 17 miles  to the northwest of central London .

The town developed on the River Colne on land that belonged until the 16th century to St Albans Abbey . During the 12th century a charter was granted allowing a market and building St Mary's Church began. The town grew modestly. It was assisted by travellers passing through to Berkhamsted Castle and the royal palace at Kings Langley. A big house was built at Cassiobury in the 16th century.

The Industrial revolution

For many centuries, Watford relied on  agriculture. The Industrial Revolution brought the Grand Junction in 1798 and the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837. The land-owning interests permitted the canal to follow closely by the river Gade. Although the road and canal follow the easier valley route, the railway company was forced to build an expensive tunnel.
