Loathe cloud computing? Being cloud is your destiny!

You despise the loss of personal computing power, hate ordering service, not trust our security model, not optimistic about our reliability, but also do not believe that the existing broadband can be a good connection to the cloud, it does not matter: because you will eventually become a part of us, we are cloud computing, you can not resist.

Yes, cloud computing is still a lot of problems and a series of threats, but I believe this is a trend, unstoppable trend, so no matter how much you hate cloud computing now, you will soon be assimilated: while holding your personal computer data, external devices and NAS device data, It is inevitable to go into the clouds with a shout.

Opponents of cloud computing, whether you like it or hate it, the cloud computing era has come to you. You can't stop it from coming, it's like a sucking star Dafa will take away your data and user experience. The author still doesn't understand why cloud computing scares people, and it seems to me that the user experience of cloud computing is definitely better than the current user experience, and it has a big advantage in total asset spending and total cost of ownership. Perhaps you will raise the following four points to make a complaint, no matter, after listening to the author's answer maybe you will change your mind.

Complaint one: If transferred to the cloud, I will lose my personal computing power

In fact, this statement is not correct. If you move into the cloud, you will get more personal computing power, because your user experience needs to be backed up in the data center with powerful remote computing power and remote GPU computing capabilities, and if you notice the recent technology on desktop-as-services, the company that provides remote computing power has Microsoft's RemoteFX, , Si Jie's xenapp and VMware deepwater View.

Even if you think you've lost your personal computing power, and don't blame cloud computing, but blame the technology industry's progress on greener, more energy-efficient localized processing, blaming tablets and smartphones and inefficient systems and other inexpensive endpoint devices because these are the crux of the next generation of personal computing experience.

Powerful workstations, PC desktops, and heavy notebooks are starting to move in an increasingly thin direction, such as ultra-polar and Tablet PCs, with more devices starting with systems based on arm architectures than traditional X86 systems.

Although current systems can support running local applications, over time and the development of the operating system and the evolution of devices, future applications will support cloud-based deployments with a new API interface, just as Microsoft's Windows RT API is now available for iOS and Android.

Of course, you still have the need to run traditional CPU-intensive applications, such as Photoshop, AutoCAD, and video editing software, not to worry, independent software developers will still provide these applications, perhaps as a user legacy applications, It is also possible to put applications into the private cloud of the enterprise to provide software services to users. Of course, there are a few users still need workstations, but there will be fewer people with this demand, less than manufacturers to abandon the market, while individuals will consider the cloud computing equipment ultra-low cost and abandon workstation.

Perhaps everyone has heard the argument that I am a gamer and I need a real PC machine.

No, really, you don't need to. We don't care about your needs. Among smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles, the hardcore PC gamers have been marginalized for years, and game publishers are more interested in putting resources into mobile devices and gaming consoles for game development. Perhaps the next decade, the Ashes-level game PC has become a collection, anyway, they will quit the stage.

Complaint two: subscription service will increase the cost of personal calculation and application

Sales based on service subscription mode may be in the wrong direction for standalone development applications. There is no doubt that this is a new way of buying software by using less than a year's cost per person, rather than using a license to buy software directly, but the cost of the next four or five years is likely to be greater if the user's long-term use is taken into account.

In fact, in the long run, the cost of software as a service and software service subscription model will be lower for both end users and enterprise users, largely in terms of software maintenance and cost savings, as well as the elimination of software piracy.

Content creation kits like office suites and Adobe CS6 and software such as Intuit QuickBooks Pro need to spend more money to make them because their development consumes a great deal of human resources. Traditionally, each PC costs 200-400 of dollars, and it takes a fee to upgrade in about four years.

Perhaps you will support the end User License agreement, but use a copy of the software to install 10 pcs, you may download the genuine installation program, but the use of the license is indeed pirated serial number. Maybe you're one of them, and the author says you should pay for the software you use like everyone else, or you can choose to use free Open-source software such as LibreOffice, which is developed for free people.

If you are a law-abiding citizen, you will understand that software costs are part of the cost of the business and that you will have a budget for your IT needs, so that your IT budget is basically consistent and probably cheaper.

In the service ordering mode, there are still many advantages, you can still continue to run the existing version of the software, you will still get the corresponding software support, for small and medium enterprises, business line of commercial applications on the survival of enterprises is very critical.

Complaint three: I do not believe in the security and integrity of cloud computing

As we all know, in the past few years, such as Amazon's well-known cloud computing companies have been a cloud security vulnerabilities and other issues, but a closer look, each failure occurs, is an experience learning process, they are in accordance with the different levels of service agreements signed by users, and will not easily encounter these problems.

To add, I'm not referring to startups like Dropbox or Twitter, which provides free services based on cloud computing, because there are a lot of security incidents. The writer is talking about telecom operators, hosting service providers and strategic outsourcing providers and software companies that have many years of experience building public and private cloud products and are well protected from running secure enterprise-class data centers.

You have to believe that they have the ability to invest in state-of-the-art security technology, hire the best trained security personnel to ensure storage and network connectivity to better help you isolate data, and at the same time devote the most money to their redundant infrastructure to ensure your data integrity and business continuity.

Complaint four: I don't think my bandwidth is enough

Believe in the era of cloud computing, we all heard a lot of similar complaints: I live in a van running along the river; I live in sub-Saharan Africa; I hate the broadband that the city has deployed; I live in a developing country with only GSM connections; The area where I live is always unable to provide me with enough broadband connection clouds.

Yes, it really bothers me.

In fact, no one believes that cloud computing and broadband schemes will ensure that everyone in each country gets the same bandwidth, because the government is always slow in infrastructure construction, but the bottom line is to ensure that most people need it.

For most scenarios, cloud computing does not require much bandwidth resources, such as DAAS and remote applications and Web services via optimized WAN protocols, which require less bandwidth resources, far less than those for video-on-demand and CD-quality music streams.

Once the data is in the cloud, there is basically no need to move or transfer, because your needs are basically in the cloud. But in fact, we use a variety of clouds, you have the right to choose your information into the cloud, later can also transfer the data in the cloud, moved to other clouds, the demand for current bandwidth resources can still be resolved. But if you want to deposit a lot of data into the cloud and calculate it, bandwidth is enough, the answer is no.

This process may take several years, perhaps longer, and it is impossible to achieve overnight. We still face many problems, such as video playback congestion on a large scale and the monitoring of virtual machines and physical infrastructure, but ultimately these problems will be solved.
