Cloud computing around

Absrtact: We can see that cloud computing in the common practical areas of great development, including HP, Microsoft, Youdao and other hardware and software providers at home and abroad, for the actual application of cloud computing has made a huge push. Whether it is a business or a person, you can feel the cloud in the side, and can bring practical convenience for themselves.

Cloud computing has been tossing the Chinese IT industry for more than four or five years, but there is not much to know about this concept in society except professionals. The reason is that before cloud computing in the industry, regardless of how hot fry, are active in the professional field, but not with ordinary people. Although some industries, such as telecommunications and even foodstuffs, have begun to introduce the technology, they are still not used much in the work life of the community. This makes cloud-related companies, especially some cash-strapped small and medium sized SMEs, in a very awkward position: if a very hot project fails to participate, it will have a negative impact on long-term development, which in turn would result in a shortage of cash in sight, not a quick return, Can only wait for the angel Investor's help, further will cause the enterprise the restriction situation cannot turn over.

This year, we can see that cloud computing in the common practical areas of great development, including HP, Microsoft, Youdao and other domestic and foreign hardware and software providers, for the actual application of cloud computing has made a huge push. Whether it is a business or a person, you can feel the cloud in the side, and can bring practical convenience for themselves.

Cloud computing, more and more approached our side.

The cloud of the enterprise

Many companies that keep pace with the times are trying to introduce cloud computing into their own management and services, but there are only a few companies that have been said to be able to provide cloud computing services. Many of the people who think cloud computing is still not really understand the cloud, which makes many interested in the cloud of entrepreneurs and technical people to cloud computing questions, and thus avoid. But as a technology that conforms to it development trend, cloud computing will certainly show more obvious advantages in the future development of enterprise. The cloud of enterprise is not an empty word.

The development of society is increasing the demand of technology. With the advent and maturing of cloud computing, the business delivery model is beginning to shift more to cloud computing, with flexibility, collaboration, and speed at an unprecedented level. The trade-off between cloud computing and the traditional delivery model has led to great confidence in the benefits of their technology and services through cloud computing, and the introduction of cloud computing to the public cloud's concerns over existing conditions ultimately determines the temporary decisive advantage of the hybrid cloud.

A typical hybrid cloud solution HP CEO Li Ai (Léo Apotheker) presented the cloud Platform solution at the HP Discover 2011 meeting in Las Vegas, and pledged to spend billions of dollars on research and development, as well as promoting the development of the HP Hybrid Cloud technology, To further organize cloud computing in the enterprise to prepare for the expansion, at the same time to ensure the security of enterprise information data, the outsourcing approach into the technical environment, to achieve flexible, mixed delivery model under the effective supervision, to promote the organization to meet the changing market and realize the real-time dynamic distribution of resources. HP can help organizations choose a business service platform from an internal data center and platform to a traditional outsourced service provider or cloud service provider to meet the requirements.

With the world increasingly interconnected, Hewlett-Packard has launched the concept of "instant Czech" companies to help customers get the services they want and need. From mobile devices to global data centers, qualified cloud providers can help customers achieve comprehensive innovation through technology and integrate human resources with the information and applications needed to accelerate innovation. A company that meets the requirements of the cloud computing age must be aware that any single model can not meet all the requirements, only through a hybrid solution to achieve better service.

Meeting: Corporate and personal common cloud

Meetings are essential for every business, for everyone in the enterprise is also unable to escape, the overall purpose of the enterprise in the Conference is assigned to individual individuals, the conference is the link between enterprises and individuals, however, in the traditional work, meetings, but often become a hindrance to enterprises and individuals.

Cloud Conferencing is a full time based on cloud computing technology developed video conferencing products, can host 20W side of concurrent meetings. Users through the basic office tools such as mobile phones and notebooks can be organized to participate in meetings anytime, anywhere, so as to avoid the loss of time in the traffic, the ultimate realization of Low-carbon, time-saving modern office methods.

The biggest obstacle in enterprise development is the low management efficiency, information transmission is not smooth, in the trans-regional business is growing in the modern enterprise, is a very let managers headache, a large number of travel work is a kind of capital loss, the increase in time cost is unable to compensate for the loss, and then restrict the process of enterprise forward. At this time, the Cross-regional synergy is bound to be resolved by the general trend, the purpose of this multidimensional meeting Method-Cloud conference emerged.

As an efficient and flexible operation hosting model, cloud computing has brought more products and services to meet its own development stage. Through cloud conferencing, SMEs can overcome the shortage of resources and the accumulation of time cost. In the era of the Internet, the majority of our enterprises have access to the network, but the use of VoIP as a means of conference synergy has not been popularized, while the developed countries penetration rate has reached 40%, remote conferencing is widely commercial, to solve the problem is the only purpose of the conference.

The development of new communication methods to popularize, not only the IT industry to further research and promotion of technology, but also need management for the Enterprise Management Model awareness of further improvement.

The clouds around everyone

For individuals, the domestic cloud services are now mainly concentrated in the application of cloud storage, namely the network disk market. The market is still at an early stage and a lot of market education work needs to be done.

Space-leased services have been available long before. In the era of Web 1.0, there is a service provider to provide users with free personal space to create a home page. There is a big difference between cloud storage and traditional IDC: a more flexible way of charging and an expanded scale. It provides business access beyond data storage through Distributed file systems, grid technologies, cluster applications, etc., such as Youdao notes, which provide a space for cloud notes that can be easily accessed and securely stored. Foreign have Evernote, Dropbox and so on in the cloud storage related services, domestic then Youdao and HP and other cloud storage services vendors.

Evernote is a great foreign notebook application, they provide quality service for global users. For Chinese enterprises, in the face of domestic users, is committed to providing a more localized, more in line with the use of Chinese users custom services. Similarly, the domestic Youdao notebook products can be seen as a cloud based on the network disk U-plate enhanced version, in its existing e-mail and search engine technology based on the use of huge Internet resources, or as the original dictionary opened another world.

The application of cloud services in foreign countries is more mature than at home, and has achieved a large number of users, and a set of mature business model. Domestic services in this area has just started, is still in the early days of the market, only according to the characteristics of Chinese users, to do a good job cloud services products.

Abroad, cloud storage services have been recognized by the market, with a large user base and mature business model. At present, these methods of profit mainly include display advertising and value-added services, while the notes are still in the early stage of market development, the need is to do a good job products. On the basis of good products, learn from these mature business model is not a problem. In addition, some localized explorations and attempts are also necessary for Chinese users.

Some large hardware equipment companies have already invested heavily in the development of cloud computing applications. For example ZTE (000063, share bar) has developed the Enterprise business Travel Cloud service, the Global Service Center service and so on specialized cloud application, Lenovo's cloud computing platform and so on. Lu Abbin, ZTE's vice president, said that by the end of 2010, ZTE had applied for 107 cloud patents in China, ranked first among domestic manufacturers, and became the Vice-Chairman of the ITU-T subordinate Cloud Focus group, and was in the leading position in the technical reserve.

As domestic technology companies continue to increase the investment in cloud computing, the purpose of profit also allows companies to start the development of cloud computing eyes increasingly to ordinary people. The cloud computing era is emerging as the day-to-day business and life cloud computing services are on the horizon. With the growing sophistication of cloud computing technology, more people can enjoy the cloud computing in a more convenient daily life.

Cloud computing and everyone to go closer, no longer unreachable, is no longer a professional appropriation, into all aspects of social life. Technology to drive the future, which is also the desire of every it person.
