Chinese cloud computing applications may first serve network security

Cloud computing is the hottest topic at the moment, with both Google, Microsoft, IBM and Sun publishing their cloud plans and related products. But for ordinary consumers, what is cloud computing? What can be brought to consumers?

Cloud computing is actually simply speaking, is to simplify client processing capabilities, more processing tasks to the cloud side to do, the two exchange data between the Internet, the most typical is the internet search, mail and other services, data stored on the Internet, rather than the client computer, need to use can be obtained at any time.

Meanwhile, we also see Microsoft is actively involved in cloud computing, but they are still worried that the development of cloud computing will smash their desktop software business, such as office, because when everything to the cloud to deal with, the use of online editing and storage, Office desktop software is worthless, even to 199 yuan a set, Also will be no one, this time Microsoft this printing machine will hang off.

And Google as a cloud advocate, but also to subvert Microsoft's desktop software system, launched a variety of apps, including Gmail, Office Online, but also in the construction of large data centers, want to put more data in the data center to run, rather than the client, But Google has not yet launched cloud computing services for Chinese SMEs and individuals, because Google has its own concerns and, above all, whether it affects its advertising revenue.

While Sun and Oracle are proposing to do cloud computing, there are also concerns. cloud-based software, SaaS, is leveraging cloud computing to replace desktop software, and companies such as Oracle and SAP are bound to be hit by a larger appeal to SMEs, while Sun is a server, and if SMEs no longer need to build IT systems themselves, who is the Sun's server selling to?

Since Microsoft, Google have their own concerns, so I think they put forward the concept of cloud computing and planning is only to seize the market opportunities, but also to preempt the registration of patents. Users waiting for their massive rollout of cloud computing are not expected to be a year or two. But that does not mean that we cannot enjoy the cheaper technology of cloud computing, because cloud computing can be used to reduce costs and bring better security to users in the area of network security.

A few days ago, news that trend technology companies are doing "cloud security", the effect is to use trend technology in more than 30,000 servers around the world, real-time collection trend technology global user application requests, and through the calculation in the cloud, to determine whether these requests are safe, such as a link or a button, Trend Technology first identifies these requests through data stored in its cloud, analyzes whether they are secure links and buttons, and gives feedback to customers instantaneously.

The powerful storage and processing power of the cloud, can ensure that users get the feedback is synchronized, and the current anti-virus software can not achieve this rapid analysis processing, is generally an afterthought, that is, only large-scale infection of the virus, and these viruses must be their prior to the server code, if it is a mutant virus can not intercept , we see the notorious panda incense virus, anti-virus software are powerless.

And through the global server to build a strong cloud, can completely intercept the virus variants, but also greatly reduce the client's processing tasks, reduce client memory footprint, no time to antivirus and upgrade software, because the cloud and the client at any time through the Internet interactive information, all calculations on the cloud, This greatly saves the cost and time, and effectively controls the spread of the virus.

In short, cloud computing is the future of it internet industry development trend, although there are still a variety of difficult to popularize the problem, but no matter how Microsoft, Oracle and other companies want to cling to desktop software, this low-cost, superior performance of the cloud will be popular, and trend technology and other enterprises "cloud security" Already can provide the service for the ordinary user, brings the value.
