With the "cloud computing" computer mainframe will disappear?

"I'm here, but you can't see", "cloud storage" hides where we can't see it. In our mailbox, there will be a similar "network Disk" function, which can http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14150.html "> online storage of various files; , the cell phone is damaged or lost, the data is able to restore one key.

Can be "cloud storage" as a network hard disk, you need to carry a notebook, u disk, now all can be stored on the network. "Cloud storage is a storage platform based on massive servers that can store hundreds of thousands of of millions of gigabytes of data." "360 security experts say.

The server is a computer, but this computer is a bit big: the CPU is bigger than us, the hard disk is bigger than us, the memory is bigger than us, because it wants to deal with is not a person's data, but Baichi you my data. "Cloud storage" is such a jumbo "hard drive".

So what does it have to do with cloud computing? "It's like a giant library with a lot of books, but how to judge and find a book quickly requires a very intelligent system to compute." "360 security experts say. The library is "cloud storage", and this system of looking for books is "cloud computing" a corner.

Cool Disk brand Manager Han Another metaphor: When a room is set up with a table or a luggage rack, we call it the office, but when the room is full of drawers and luggage racks, we should call it a room. "Cloud storage is an application of cloud computing, but the focus is different." ”

According to the information "utility grid" theory, future businesses will have to pay for cloud computing providers in a few minutes to gain strong computing power: access to cloud computing capabilities in sales, customer relationship management, and finance. The same is true of individual users, all local storage, computing will be transferred to the "cloud" complete.

"Cloud computing" is a very broad concept, "cloud storage" is just one of the basic functions. We put the mail in the mailbox, and the mailbox behind a group of powerful servers (computers), the server's hard drive has a massive database, which holds our every user's mail.

For now, the "cloud storage" market is not a big plate. According to media data, 2011 Domestic cloud storage Market size of only 88 million yuan, this year or will increase to 182 million yuan. Some people in the industry, but also to domestic enterprises do cloud storage is not optimistic.

"The simple reason is that we need cloud storage." Xiang, a communications observer, said that while the concept was hot, there were two very real problems, one being broadband and the other a security issue. "If you store a large number of data, broadband will not keep up with the level."

"Bandwidth is really a problem because it largely affects people's demand for large files," said Huangmingming, chairman of the cool disk. "But he said that the country is currently working to improve bandwidth construction, the future of broadband will be more and more high, the" cloud computing "development prospects are still optimistic.

In addition, who can guarantee the "cloud" must be safe? Huge amounts of data are not packaged to the cloud, and users are not sure which server the data is stored on, but they must be sure that the data must be absolutely secure. "What kind of security do you keep or hang in the clouds?" Xiang says it's definitely safe in your own pocket.
