Future Cloud storage

Storage China 200 Summit December 10 Live report: In Beijing, the day of the first snow in 2008, the Storage China 2008 summit in Beijing International Conference Center held hot. The hot-spot situation makes people wonder whether the economic crisis seems to have had no impact on the storage industry. The theme of this storage China 2008 summit is "against storage Change", for the industry, 2008 seems to have happened too many things, change constantly, however, the most popular or "cloud storage" this is derived from the "cloud computing" concept. For this concept, the CTO from Huawei Symantec, Tad Lebeck, has made a detailed exposition.

Tad Lebeck, the CTO of Huawei Symantec Technology Co., Ltd., has 25 experience in storage field and is a renowned technical expert in the industry. Mr. Lebeck, who founded Invio and served as CTO of the company, previously served as CTO of Legato.

First of all, tad analysis of the current information society pattern. "We are in an era of information explosion," Mr Tad warns. Since the information in the modern digital world is 300 times times that of all records in the past, combined with the different structures used to compute the data in various regions, modern users face increasingly complex unstructured data. Managing this data requires a large and complex system, so virtualization is elevated to a high level.

"In cloud computing, the initial concept is that you have a computational engine in the cloud, in reality, a lot of people in the work is actually using the" cloud ", they work sometimes use such as IPTV or VOD, such as sharing video, sharing e-mail, and at this time, they are actually directly from the" cloud " Inside get the service. "For the concept of cloud computing, obviously, Mr. Ted has his own understanding."

Mr. Tad then put forward the idea of cloud storage. He believes that cloud storage can provide users with higher storage efficiency, and for individuals or enterprises to establish a comprehensive data protection strategy.

"For cloud storage, the biggest difficulty, the biggest challenge, may require the IT community to address the huge transformation in the middle, and it's just not efficient to make cloud storage a project's it." "While proposing cloud storage, Tad also rightly mentions the obstacles that cloud storage encounters today." But, with the development of science and technology, he also believes that all difficulties will be solved by intelligent human beings.

The

refers to the "cloud storage" vendors not only a Chinese race, there are already a lot of storage vendors have released the cloud storage products, but for "cloud storage" we still have too many questions to resolve, because it is too new and too irregular, I hope that in the future storage industry we can see the standardized "cloud storage" products, And hope that such products can develop more and better.
