How cloud computing affects life

Turn on the faucet and you can wash the dishes. If you press the switch, it will brighten your home. Connected to the cloud, you can easily use a variety of internet services, like water and electricity. This is not the idea that cloud computing can provide us with this.

It is coming to us. by Yangzhou Economic and technological Development Zone, China Telecom Yangzhou branch and Phoenix Data Co., Ltd. co-construction of "Yangzhou Phoenix Cloud Computing Center," is under intense preparations, it is reported that the project will be put into production next January, the center is completed, will become the largest cloud computing center in East China, Yangzhou residents will enjoy the home door of the cloud services.

What is cloud computing?

A large Data Warehouse

IT industry recently the "cloud" for the common people, and the cloud as illusory, "cloud" in the end is what? What is the cloud computing center? Wang, director of the Cloud Computing center of China Telecom's Yangzhou branch, explains that it is not as esoteric as it looks, and that cloud computing is a platform for integrating resources across the network, through the Internet, to provide information services on the platform, including software, hardware, and data to customers. The cloud Computing center will mainly provide data storage and application services for well-known Internet enterprises both at home and abroad.

There are two "little clouds" in Yangzhou

Early in Yangzhou Cloud Computing Center project before the launch, Yangzhou has two "small cloud", that is, two rooms, a total of 900 cabinets, assume the actual function of the cloud computing Center, millet, Jinshan, Thunderbolt and other IT enterprises in the backstage of the Yangzhou server.

Wang introduced, "The two rooms are too small, not the center, the construction of the Yangzhou Cloud Computing Center is the real large data warehouse, the total investment of 1.4 billion yuan, the plan is completed in three period, completed will reach the room capacity of 10,000 cabinets, 150,000 servers, computer room 100,000 square meters of practical area, Its data store amounts to 3 million home computers, which will expand the city's cloud storage capacity by three times times. ”

How does cloud computing count?

Cloud storage replaces hard drive

The most direct service that cloud computing center brings is cloud storage, the user buys cloud space can have network hard disk, say goodbye to move hard disk. Wang told reporters, "such as the current Baidu cloud, free to users 1t of storage space, using the cloud computing center space, as long as access to the network, you can store things, very convenient." ”

How secure is the cloud storage? Recently, Hollywood photos of the door suspected of "Apple cloud service icloud" leaks caused many people worry about their own cloud space security. Wang told reporters, "Cloud computing center is divided into three layers, infrastructure layer, middle layer and application layer, the telecommunications infrastructure layer is the use of cdma128-bit encryption of photovoltaic signals, this is the United States military encryption way, can not be cracked." Some cloud service leaks, such as personal photo privacy disclosure, mainly cracked the top-level application layer, that is, the software cloud service platform has a loophole. ”

You like what it knows

The most powerful cloud services is "calculate", our basic necessities, joys and sorrows, eat and drink can be the form of data in the cloud computing center, enterprises can calculate the customer's preferences through these data.

Wang to reporters to calculate, "enterprises to do their own information, to buy equipment, to buy software, and then at least about 1 million, cloud computing center does not require enterprises to pay facilities costs, just service costs." ”

The cloud Office does not use the computer host

With the cloud computing center, businesses and governments can enjoy the convenient cloud office, Wang said, "Yangzhou Cloud Center is sure to serve Yangzhou, the government cloud is our key to build the project, the future desk, as long as a monitor, do not need a host, you can access the network to achieve cloud office." "It is based on cloud computing, Hangzhou has been the first to enter the cloud office, in the name of the government system to buy all kinds of cloud services, now, 25 government departments in Hangzhou, CPU, memory and other computer resources are not enough to achieve online upgrade, directly to the Government cloud service Platform application, the future, Such a cloud office may become a reality in Yangzhou.
