Storage revolution in the Web2.0 era?

Discovery focus

I have just read an article about Web, online information storage: completing the web as platform. This paper proposes a very valuable idea, that is, the author observed that with the popularization of online software in the web era, the old storage pattern may change. Coincidentally, I work in the Web + storage area. I found that I am very interested in it.

I will not talk much about the original article. Interested readers can refer to the original article. The most interesting is the following picture:

I am most interested in the details of this image. On the left side of the image, that is, the storage field, the data organization has changed. The traditional data organization method, that is, on our local hard disk, should be files, directories, logical partitions, hard disks, and so on. However, you should note that in the data organization mode, the terms "tags", "keys", and "URLs" are added to the web agency.

Mining Problems

It is true that the trend of online information storage is somewhat early, and it is just a bit sprout. But look at the online software applications around you. How much data do you generate every day?

Nothing else. For blogs alone, a large amount of data is generated every day. Now, almost everyone has their own blog on the Internet, and they often update their own blog. The content of a blog is all-encompassing. Everyone expresses their opinions on the Internet, including work, life, emotion, and ideal. I don't know. You never thought about where your data is stored?

Online software application manufacturer! Yes, all content on the csdn blog will be stored on the csdn server and maintained by csdn. Of course, the popularity of csdn is worthy of our trust, but it does not mean that all blog providers are so trustworthy. In case they have problems, then my data, our privacy ...?

This is not the only drawback. Let's assume that you are bored with the single interface of csdn's blog, and you want to find one. So you found a pretty one. However, your data is still on csdn. How do you import it to a new blog?

The above is just a blog. Now, with the deepening of online software, you can produce more and more data and become more and more complex. You may also use Google's Gmail, csdn blog, and Yahoo! And the bookmark of blinklist. In any case, because different service providers are good at different fields, your data is stored on different servers. These data are isolated from each other and cannot interact with each other. It turns out that you can maintain them on your local hard disk, so that they can produce some amazing results. But now, everything is impossible!

Solve the problem

The emergence of the online information storage service provider may solve the problem. We can use applications of different online software service providers. However, we can choose to save our data in an online information storage service provider that we create and trust. The online information storage service provider can provide us with other additional services, including data maintenance, mining, backup, import and export, and other functions.

In this way, you can see that if you want to change a blog, you can leave csdn and go straight to your blog service provider. Then tell your new blog service provider that you are going to my online information storage service provider to extract my data. As a result, your blog instantly becomes very beautiful, and no data is lost. In this way, csdn has to speed up its online software development to provide better and more beautiful services so as to retain users.

Prerequisites

The problem may seem simple, but it is difficult to implement it. After all, online software and online information storage are at the very beginning.

If you want to achieve the above ideas, you must meet the following conditions:

1, Online Software must support third-party online information storage service providers.

2, Online Information Storage must support third-party online software service providers.

3, The two must be developed based on standard protocols.

None of these seem to be successful immediately. It takes time and time...

Key Points

No one knows what the online information storage will look like in the future? How many changes are there? However, it is worth noting that because it needs to provide services for online software, it must have severe web features. It may no longer be able to organize data in the traditional way. Instead, they may be organizations in the Web age, such as "tags", "keys", and "URLs. Even, it also needs to consider the storage and provision of data. Maybe the search here is better.

Manufacturer action

Manufacturers all have actions, even though they do not.

Garett Rogers talked about Google's actions in this article in his Google gdrive is not a rumor, although it is just a rumor (rumor ).

Online Information Storage: completing the web as platform also mentioned a lot, including ms and Amazon actions. There are also many small manufacturers.

Don't you think this is a chance?
