Cloud computing is gaining popularity, says Ben Pring, a senior analyst at Gartner. "It's becoming a popular word." "But the problem is that everyone seems to have a different understanding of cloud computing," he said. As a metaphor for the internet, "cloud" is easy to understand. But once associated with computing, its meaning expands and becomes blurred. Some analysts and companies have defined cloud computing only as an upgraded version of computing-basically the many virtual servers available on the Internet. Others have defined cloud computing more broadly, saying that everything consumers consume outside the firewall is in the cloud.
No matter how it is understood, there is no doubt that cloud computing has now passed the stage of conceptual hype, began to fall to the ground, and gradually applied to people's lives, you are surprised to find that many familiar with the technology or product front, are beginning to add a "cloud" word, printing into a cloud printing, monitoring into a cloud monitoring , storage into cloud storage, anti-virus into a cloud killing, TV turned into a cloud TV ... And so on, and the usual routers in our home are now starting to upgrade to cloud routing.
The so-called "cloud", simple understanding is that should be in the local processing or storage services to the network, so that can be used anytime and anywhere to use and read, without the need to carry network equipment on the body. Personally, the current manufacturers of cloud routing products, more should be said to be in the wireless router with some of the cloud computing applications, the cloud services into its functions, so that the cloud can bring the portable.
So what is the difference between cloud Routing and general routing? In fact, the current manufacturers launched cloud routing, or to link the route to the mobile phone, remote monitoring users on the Internet, remote disconnect users of illegal networking, to ensure the security of the network, or the hard disk into the routed USB interface, on the LAN or remote the hard disk to share files to other users, Set up a private cloud on the LAN.
As we all know, in the wireless router this market, the first proposed cloud routing concept is link, based on its own mydlink platform, after Asus launched the Aicloud platform of Cloud routing, Cisco, Web Parts, sea-linked Tatsu also launched its own cloud platform. And each manufacturer's products have their own unique:
Link's cloud routing product is based on its Mydlink platform and focuses on two aspects of cloud management and cloud care. Users can view the status of a router in a Web browser or on an Android phone or an iphone mydlink application, including viewing the current connected user, viewing the user's internet record, and disconnecting the specified user's network connection. This is link cloud management, cloud care theory, it allows you to always care about and manage the network status, let the network passive rub net into active anti-rub network.
For Aigale, a leading wireless entertainment leader from Taiwan, the main advantages of the private cloud routing--ai-r111 are based on Ai-manager intelligent Butler software for remote management Routing and wondergate arbitrary door software to help users build private cloud servers.
The new personal cloud solution, which is launched by ASUS Network Products, is called Aicloud, and Asus Aicloud can share data from terminal devices (such as desktops, notebooks, mobile storage devices, etc.) connected to ASUS ' newest wireless router through Intelligent mobile terminals. including data, photos, video and so on, in addition to "cloud storage" such as the basic functions, through the Aicloud even unlimited expansion of your storage space, and the private cloud and the public cloud into one. This is an extraordinary place for ASUS Aicloud platform.
Cisco, on the other hand, enabled a cloud-based platform--cisco Connect Cloud (Cisco Connection Cloud). According to Cisco, the cloud platform is designed to handle all the tiring and complex technical problems of home networking and connecting devices to the network. Previous versions of Cisco connect mobile applications require users to be on the same local network. Cisco Connect Cloud (Cisco Connect Cloud) is a Web site based on Cisco Cloud, where users can easily and quickly manage multiple home networks that are built through the series, no matter where they are in the world.
Of course, there are many, and we have reason to believe that there are more ...
There is no doubt that the cloud is no line from the future, but from the above manufacturers of products, I believe that everyone will have the same feeling, that is everyone in the yell their products here good, but for users, very vacant, image point, like a cloud in the sky, which piece of cloud under which the rain, And this for users, it is slightly confusing, so the future hope that the manufacturers will gradually be these devices, as long as the same account, you can all the cloud services together, so that users enjoy more convenience is good.
