The increasing use of electronic ticketing systems in the international market has influenced many transport companies and developed this process in many other industrial sectors too. So now we, NCLOUD have also started this totally new concept to our country Nepal, from the field of transport sector and are planning to forward in other feasible sectors too. 

E-Ticketing system basically refers to the automated process of collecting the fare price via different automated devices. In context to E-Ticketing system we, n.Cloud have introduced the latest technique of collecting fare by printing ticketing electronically and deducting the fare from Smart Card.

Currently, we have introduced two kinds of devices – Handheld and Wall Mount devices. In Handheld devices we allow conductors to carry the device and print the ticket. In Wall Mount device we place the devices static in the particular place.     

Among those advantages, we can highlight the replacing of physical means by information management that, besides speeding up the procedures, allows a better control of the operation, with less effort, consequently resulting in a lower operational cost.

Cloud hosting is the procurement of computing resources from a cloud computing provider or facility to host data, services and/or solutions.

Cloud hosting is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud delivery model that provides a suite of remote/virtual services. These are delivered on an on-demand basis and hosted on top of a cloud computing infrastructure.

Cloud hosting refers primarily to the use of virtual hardware, network, storage and composite solutions from a cloud vendor. It is enabled through virtualization, whereby the entire computing capacity of an infrastructure or data center is distributed and delivered to multiple users simultaneously. The user uses underlying infrastructure to host its own applications, services and data. For example, a physical server can be virtualized and consolidated to host several cloud servers, all sharing the processor, memory, storage, network and other resources.

Cloud hosting provides untapped flexibility in scaling hosted resources. Moreover, cloud hosting may also combine the capacity of several servers to provide a single cloud hosted server. Some of the cloud hosted solutions are cloud servers, cloud desktops, cloud storage and more.
