Data on the cloud, is it really safe?

Until today, the security of the cloud is still a threshold that many entrepreneurs have yet to circumvent. In fact, compared to the traditional way, the cloud is not only "unsafe", but is "more secure". Worry about the cloud, in fact, similar to unfounded, but to completely break, out of this worry, in addition to the cloud to have a deep understanding, but also need a bit of historical perspective.

Simply put, the cloud is the ability to organize and centralize the capacity of storage and computing, like public resources, to distribute to needy customers through the Internet. Once the cloud is purchased, customers no longer need to acquire, maintain, and manage other software and hardware, and the most extreme example is that, with a single display, customers can perform almost all of their computing tasks. This process, and the water supply pipeline, the power grid transmission, the same thing, different is that the cloud is the ability to transport data and computing. Word, the cloud, is to host the data to the service provider, when needed, the cloud service providers to the data and computing capacity to send you.

It is because the data to be stored in other people's home, security problems, immediately surfaced, but I think, precisely because to put in other people's home, the data is actually more secure. This principle is similar to tap water more safe than well wells.

Once, every family, farm, village must have their own wells. and the quality and safety of water, such as testing whether it is contaminated, deterioration, whether someone poisoned, fully responsible for themselves. Many countries in Africa have not yet completed the public water supply system, water pollution, dysentery and other diseases, the health of the people posed a serious threat. In most countries today, as long as the tap is turned on, clean water flows through the public water supply pipeline. This is because, in the water company, a group of professional personnel responsible for the quality of water, safety and 24-hour uninterrupted supply. Today's network, has the virus, has the black guest, some important website every day receives the attack from all over the world, each notebook computer, the handset is no exception. and professional cloud service providers have a large number of security experts, put the data on the cloud, is entrusted to professional security companies.

In fact, human attitudes to money have undergone a similar shift, and when banks have just invented it, no one believes that it is safer to put money in a bank than under its own pillow. But today's "safer banks" have become common sense, and we know that because of the pooling of scattered deposits from the public, banks can send money through loans to places where society needs it, and idle money creates new value. This is through the scale of the capital becomes can be "conveyed", the truth of which is interlinked. Cloud, to a certain extent, can also be understood as a data bank.

Coincidentally, in the history of the popularization and development of electricity, there have been the twists and turns of safety. In 1882, Edison invented the electricity, in New York Pearl Street established the world's first power supply system, the Manhattan region from this lamp Hao, but Edison invented the direct current, direct current can not be long-distance transmission, Edison in order to ensure that he designed the lighting system can work normally, in every 1 kilometers of place will build a power station. Shortly thereafter, another American scientist Tesla (Nikola Tesla) invented alternating current, which can be transmitted over a long distance, which not only expands the range of power supply, but also greatly reduces the cost of generating electricity. But in the interests of business, Edison in the whole society propaganda said that electricity is not long-distance transmission, so unsafe, must for each power supply system to establish a plant. In order to prove that electricity is not transmitted, he even produced a variety of electric dead stories, under his leadership of the boycott, AC power in the next few years are struggling. Edison is the world famous inventor, but in the name of "safety", disinformation, resist the exchange of electricity, but it is the stain of his life.

History is always strikingly similar. Every time we face major changes, there are always worries and doubts. But we will eventually embrace the cloud, just as the human race finally embraced the tap water and AC power. Of course, water companies, power companies, banks are not absolutely safe, in fact, there is no absolute security in the world. Security, is always a relative concept.

Cloud, will be like water, electricity, gas, as the enterprise, and even the whole society's infrastructure, this direction of development has become more and more clear, in this regard, the speed of cloud popularization, will determine a country, a region, an enterprise in the information economy era competitiveness. It is estimated that Amazon, the United States, will earn more than $10 billion in cloud services for 2015 years, compared with China's steep lag. I hope that the enterprises in Zhejiang Province will quickly break the doubts and worries about the cloud, remove the barriers to the concept, and popularize the cloud as soon as possible, which is the urgent task for our province to lead the construction of information economy.
