Recently, there have been many problems in the mind of Chenghaidong, the chief CTO of Information Technology in a well-known enterprise. Do you want to use the cloud services provided by telecom operators? Which cloud service is better? is the service quality guaranteed, safe and reliable? What are the benefits of using a telecom cloud service?
In fact, this kind of problem is not only Chenghaidong one person's obsession. Since Google first proposed the concept of cloud computing, to the current spread of cloud computing, cloud computing has definitely earned enough of the "eye economy." However, on April 22, "2010 China Communications Industry cloud Computing and Data Center Summit," 300 people in the field survey, although everyone is concerned about cloud computing, but the perception is very little, not many people really understand him. Even if you do, people are concerned about the current application of cloud computing.
Rumble of lively scenes, sparse lesbian deserted box office. When does cloud computing land?
The telecom cloud is here.
Cloud computing is the general trend. "No applause" embarrassing situation will not last long. In the fierce scramble for cloud computing opportunities, telecom operators ' cloud services surfaced, with their unique strengths as their more sophisticated backbone networks and numerous security infrastructures to become the first ice-breaking people to truly fall into the cloud.
Opportunities and challenges coexist. Telecom operators are not able to "reap the benefits" of the original fighting results. As the existing system is decentralized, and the system does not achieve effective scheduling management, information sharing, the majority of security system utilization problems, telecom operators cloud service launch is not a smooth ride. Experts suggest that telecom operators can make full use of cloud computing technology to integrate, optimize and share these resources, build an open and super large "security cloud" resource pool, and comprehensively improve the service efficiency and business integration capabilities of security facilities.
Unlike other cloud computing providers, telecom operators provide services primarily on equipment and platforms provided by the equipment provider. So what are the channels and means by which telecom operators will be able to secure their security services in response to the ubiquitous security implications of cloud computing?
A technical expert from the Guangzhou Institute of Telecommunications, China Telecom, said telecom operators should focus on improving the security of cloud computing services from the system level and implementation of applications, thereby enhancing the confidence of the company in cloud computing. For example, based on the perfect cloud computing security infrastructure, integrated security technologies such as data encryption, VPN, identity authentication and secure storage can be built to build a comprehensive security system for cloud computing applications.
At present, the major operators in the field of cloud computing has been a positive exploration, and achieved preliminary results. November 2009, China Mobile Cloud computing platform "big Cloud" launched; China Unicom is brewing the introduction of small and medium-sized enterprises, government and industry information outsourcing, small and medium-sized financial securities companies and mobile internet four strategic target "cloud services" business; China Telecom's cloud computing will fall from cloud storage, and has made breakthroughs in financial and other fields.
