Cloud computing boosts e-business boom

Cloud computing, both in terms of industrial value and scale, is considered by the industry as the third it change, showing a strong momentum of development. It is understood that the current cloud computing in medicine, employment, education and other fields have been widely used, which E-commerce is the wind "cloud" surge, cloud computing has become the vanguard of the Application Corps.

The rise of cloud computing brings countless opportunities to all walks of life, and E-commerce is no exception. Experts have said that the application of E-commerce is China's cloud computing industry breakthrough, to cloud computing as the representative of the Internet technology in E-commerce provides more space for imagination.

E-commerce competing for cloud computing hot hold

It is understood that the reason why e-commerce demand for cloud computing is strong, mainly because the electric business site usually with ultra-low discounts and rich products to attract users. From E-commerce site traffic to see it has a strong burst, if not to make adequate technical preparation, the server in the face of many netizens at the same time when the landing will be blocked or even collapse. Cloud computing's high stability, high reliability and high security, just solve the problem of E-commerce.

At the same time, the low-cost advantage of cloud computing can help users maximize it cost savings. Taking the bandwidth as an example, e-commerce enterprise is usually high in bandwidth because of the concentration of user access time and large traffic. In the past, the general practice in the IDC industry is to provide each user with 100M share of the 2M maximum free bandwidth. Now, with the advantage of cloud computing, bandwidth costs have been slashed. It is understood that China million nets successful in the cloud, not only the introduction of free 5M exclusive bandwidth concessions, but also the excess of the broadband price to 200 yuan/trillion/month. According to a website to use 5M broadband to calculate monthly, then the monthly bandwidth in the enterprise can reduce the cost of 3M expenditure, which for many small e-commerce enterprises, is undoubtedly a large amount of expenditure.

Cloud Computing supports the electric business eco-chain

In fact, cloud computing has been able to expand and open to other companies, the pioneer of the US e-commerce giant Amazon's experiment. Because of the peak shopping before Christmas, Amazon must also be equipped with the peak volume of its servers, but after the holiday these servers will be idle, so he developed technology to lease these resources. Small companies, which seek the most economic and high growth, are happy to hire these high quality resources, which allows them to access computing resources on demand without the need to upgrade.

As of November 11 last year, Taobao hosted a "Singles Day" online second kill activity, a shop selling skincare products to create a 2.1 million-yuan sales performance. A network store can withstand such a large amount of traffic in a short time, and to ensure that customers browse, order, purchase, behind the "cloud computing" in the power.

We know that the huge sales figures for the century Singles Day are backed byCreated by many businesses, consumers and unknown developers. And cloud computing has become a key element in this chain, supporting the electric business ecological chain.

Alibaba introduced Ali Cloud computing also from Taobao, Alipay and other cases have been a lot of inspiration, many design ideas from the beginning of the small e-commerce needs as the goal. "Aliyun internet Business Development Department Zhangjingshang said.

  We have now added cloud servers, relational database services, open Storage services (Openstorageservice,oss) to deal with the big boost. Aliyun do technical support, I will do the development and profitability. "Happy to visit the relevant responsible person said that the mall has become a test of e-commerce technical strength of the key to the war," and if you can calmly deal with, at least a quarter can rest assured. "

Cloud security issues dream around e-commerce

The biggest problem facing cloud computing is information security. Take the famous E-commerce website ebay as an example, it according to its own needs and the characteristics of cloud computing, the public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud flexible control and application, for the development of their business to provide a lot of space, and ensure the security of its transactions and information. The idea of ebay is a hybrid cloud concept. The concept of mixed clouds solves a problem in the case of a previously private cloud, all ebay capacity must be at the highest point every day of the year, in addition to the ebay to ensure that in the event of a multiple levels of protection, but also on this basis to add more capacity. This is not a very economical solution for ebay. So under normal flow, ebay handles it with its own internal data center. In the peak flow to the outside to borrow capacity, this is the so-called public cloud level.

ebay chooses different applications to the public cloud, or a private cloud, with certain principles. Fast application ebay will typically be placed in a private cloud, which is easy to control. For some stateless applications, the reaction speed does not have to be so fast, such applications can be placed in the public cloud. At the same time ebay will do a cloud management mechanism, the management software will calculate what kind of application should go to, how to save the best energy. Basically the idea is that those apps that are on the public cloud will not use the important information in the public cloud, and ebay will be in the private cloud. All of these records will be sent back to the private cloud, such as user data, or records, and any request will be recorded in a private cloud to secure the information. Moreover, the flexible application of the cloud makes it more flexible for ebay to master its own users and provide capacity requirements anytime, anywhere, promoting the security of its data systems and the further development of the business.
