The characteristics of cloud computing
⑴: The cloud has thousands of servers, and the cloud gives users unprecedented computing power.
⑵ Virtualization: The cloud supports users in any location, using a variety of terminals to obtain application services, the requested resources from the cloud rather than fixed tangible entities. Application in the cloud somewhere to run, in fact, users do not need to know, and do not worry about the specific location of the application run, only need a notebook or a mobile phone, you can through the network services to achieve everything we need, even the task including supercomputing.
⑶ High reliability: The cloud uses the data multiple replica fault tolerant, calculates the node isomorphism to be interchangeable and so on guarantees the service high reliability, uses the cloud computing to be more reliable than uses the local computer.
⑷ Versatility: Cloud computing does not target specific applications and can construct ever-changing applications under cloud support.
⑸ High Scalability: The scale of the cloud can be dynamically scaled to meet the needs of application and user-scale growth.
⑹ on-Demand services: Cloud is a huge pool of resources, you buy on demand, the cloud can be like running water, electricity, gas billing.
⑺ extremely inexpensive: The cloud's automated centralized management enables a large number of enterprises without the burden of increasing data center management costs, and the commonality of the cloud makes the utilization of resources significantly higher than the traditional system, so users can enjoy the low cost advantage of the cloud, often only spend hundreds of of dollars, a few days to complete the previous need for tens of thousands of A few months to complete the task. The New York Times, which uses Amazon's cloud computing services to process 11 million articles in less than 24 hours, costs up to $240 trillion, costing a few months and much more than using its own servers.
