Cloud computing usage Scenarios

1.IDC Cloud

Traditional LDC (iinternetdatacenter, Internet Data Center) services have been unable to meet the needs of users, users expect more powerful, more convenient and more flexible IDC services. IDC Cloud is a more cloudy gene based on IDC's original data center, such as system virtualization technology, automated management technology and energy monitoring technology. Through IDC's cloud platform, users can use resources such as virtual machines and storage. Also, IDC can provide many new value-added services, such as PAAs, by introducing new cloud technologies. Now has formed the IDC Cloud has Linode and Rackspace and so on.

2. Corporate Cloud

For any medium or large enterprise, 80% of IT resources are used to maintain existing applications rather than to make it better for business services. The use of professional enterprise cloud solutions to enhance automated management of the enterprise's internal data centers, transforming the thinking of the entire IT service from the past hardware and software thinking to delivering services and enabling IT staff to devote energy to innovative business. Enterprise Cloud is ideal for large and medium-sized enterprises that need to upgrade the operational dimensions of their internal data centers and want to make the entire IT service more focused on the business. Related products and solutions are IBM Wedspherecloudburstappliance, Cisco UCS and VMware vsphere.

3. Cloud Storage System

Since data is a very important asset and wealth of the enterprise, the data need to be effectively stored and managed, and ordinary individual users also need a large amount of storage space to save a large amount of personal data and data, but due to the lack of local storage management, the data loss rate is very high. The day storage system solves these problems by consolidating multiple storage devices in the network to provide cloud storage services and managing the storage, backup, replication, and archiving of data. Also, a good user interface and powerful API support are also essential. Cloud storage systems are ideal for businesses that need to manage and store huge amounts of data, such as internet companies, telecoms companies, and a wide range of netizens. Related products are: China Telecom's e-Cloud, Amazon's S3 cloud storage services, Google's Picasa albums and Microsoft's SkyDrive network hard disk.

4. Virtual Desktop Cloud

For many enterprises, desktop system installation, configuration and maintenance is a very important aspect of its IT operations, the decentralized management of the desktop system will bring heavy pressure on the entire IT department, and the relevant data and information security can not be effectively monitored, and the enterprise would like to reduce the overall cost of terminal desktop system, Well and make it more stable and flexible to use. The virtual Desktop cloud is a very good solution for this, leveraging sophisticated desktop virtualization technologies. Desktop virtualization Technology is the user's desktop environment and its use of the terminal decoupling, in the server side as a virtual image of the unified storage and operation of each user's desktop environment, and users can access the small terminal equipment to their desktop environment, the system administrator can be unified management users on the server side of the desktop environment, such as installation, Upgrade and configure the appropriate software. This solution is better suited for businesses that need to use a large number of desktop systems. Related products are Citrix XenDesktop and VMware's Vmwareview.

5. Development Test Cloud

Development, testing is always cumbersome, error-prone and time-consuming process, especially in the preparation test environment phase. In addition, there are thorny issues such as the confusion of test resource management, the difficulty of reproducing problems, and the strong computational power required to stress testing. The development test cloud can solve these problems effectively. It uses a friendly web interface to reserve, deploy, manage, and recycle the entire development test environment, quickly build heterogeneous development test environments by pre-configured (including operating system, middleware, and development test software), and reproduce the problem with virtualization technologies such as fast backup/recovery. and use the powerful computing power of the cloud to test the application. It is better for organizations and businesses that need to develop and test multiple applications, such as banking, telecommunications, and government. Related solutions are ibmsmartbusinessdevelopmentandtestcloud.

6. Large-scale data processing cloud

Companies need to analyze large amounts of data to gain insight into trends in business development, potential business opportunities, and existing problems to make better, faster, and more comprehensive judgments. Also, the internet of things will collect huge amounts of data, large-scale data processing cloud by the data processing software and services on the cloud computing platform, the use of cloud Platform computing power and storage capabilities to large numbers of large-scale processing. In addition to the Internet of things mentioned above, there are many enterprises and institutions that will have this demand. Related products have Apache Hadoop and so on.

7. Collaboration Cloud

e-mail, IM (instantmessaging, instant Messaging), SNS (Socialnetworkingservices, Social networking Services and communication tools (such as Skype and WebEx) are all necessary collaborative tools for many businesses and individuals, but maintaining these software and their hardware is a daunting task. The collaboration cloud is a proprietary cloud that cloud vendors base on or directly build on the IDC cloud, and set up collaborative software in the cloud to share the software with users. It is ideal for businesses and individuals who need a certain collaboration tool but do not want to maintain related hardware and software and pay high license fees. In this regard, the most representative products are IBM's lo Blood SLIVC, which mainly includes meetings, office collaboration and e-mail these 3 major services. Of course, apps is also not to be overlooked, including Gmail and Gtalk is a tool for collaboration.

8. Game Cloud

Because the capacity of the traditional game software is very huge, whether it is a stand-alone or online games, need to play the game before, spend a lot of time to download and install, players can not enjoy the game. Plus the cost of the game is high, the player's interest in trying new games will be reduced. In this regard, some companies in the industry launched the game cloud solution, there are two major categories.

One is to use more web-based gaming patterns, such as JavaScript, Flash, and Silverlight, and deploy these games to the cloud. This solution is more suitable for casual games. The second is designed for large capacity and high quality professional games. The entire game will run in the day, but the latest generated screen will be passed to the client. In short, casual and professional players will spend the game cloud to find their favorite. In terms of products, there are already many games using the first game cloud, such as many of the casual games on Facebook using a combination of post Ruiyun and front-end Flash: and for the second game Cloud, AMD has released a similar technology, but due to the existing network environment, So there will be no particularly mature technology in a short time.

9.HPC Cloud

In the field of HPC (Highperformancecomputing, high-performance computing), there are now two main challenges.

One is the imbalance between supply and demand. Either the existing HPC resources are too scarce to meet the needs of the public or the rich and poor, resulting in the inability of HPC resources to be properly distributed. The second is that the existing HPC design does not match the requirements. Although HPC has been developed for many years, but at design time, all the computing resources are integrated to the pursuit of extreme speed, but now mainstream requirements are often only a small amount of computing resources, which lead to HPC computing resources are greatly wasted, So the new generation of High-performance computing centers not only need to provide traditional high-performance computing, but also need to increase resource management, user management, virtualization management, dynamic resource generation and recovery. At this point, the cloud based High-performance computing came into being, that is, HPC cloud, it can provide users with a fully customizable high-performance computing environment, users can change the computing environment according to their requirements of the operating system, software version and node size, so as to avoid conflicts with other users. HPC can be a support platform for grid computing to enhance the flexibility and convenience of computing. HPC clouds are particularly suited to the need to use high-performance juice calculations, but lack of large investment in ordinary businesses and schools. Beijing University of Technology has cooperated with IBM to build the first HPC cloud computing center in China.

10. Cloud Antivirus

The emergence of a new type of virus makes anti-virus software virus characteristic library scale increasing. If the installation of anti-virus software, accompanied by the installation of a large virus feature library, will affect the user experience, and anti-virus software itself will greatly consume the operation of the system resources. Through the cloud antivirus technology, antivirus software can send the suspect data to the cloud, and through the cloud in the vast characteristics of the library and powerful processing capabilities to analyze whether the data contains viruses. This is ideal for users who need to use antivirus software to protect their computer's security. Existing anti-virus software support a certain cloud anti-virus characteristics, such as 360 antivirus and Jinshan poison tyrants.
