Cloud computing development concept more than application flashy

Today's cloud computing is hot, and all heavyweight it giants are moving into cloud computing. Cloud security, cloud input, cloud printing, cloud mobile phones and other concepts are based on the cloud for their own, manufacturers, operators have combined a variety of concepts, playing a leading technology, the concept of serving the public, and constantly introduce a wide range of applications. Looking at the cloud computing development path, we can see Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Intel, IBM, AMD and other giants have their own layout, foreign salesforce companies using cloud computing has a mature business model, so that enterprises without the use of software, in their applications can design and deploy business processes To save time and resources spent on infrastructure.

The current market application of cloud computing is very small

Focus on domestic, sit scholars, there are many logical theory of cloud computing, but the real success of the cloud is only a handful of cases. The stark contrast between application and concept has made people wonder if cloud computing is too flashy and the industry bubble is too big.

Wave to the national dozens of cloud computing center carried out a survey, found that many centers invested heavily into the so-called "cloud" system, but less than 20% efficiency of resource utilization, became the image of the project, visit the demonstration center. At the October 25 China Internet Wireless Summit, Aliyun announced their "cloud": Cloud mailbox, Cloud Search, cloud rendering, and plans to hit 1 billion to start cloud computing ecological chain construction. How much of this seemingly seductive technology vocabulary will truly translate into reality, allowing people to experience the benefits of cloud apps, is a bit remote for at least 2-3 years.

There are many problems in cloud computing development

The development of a new industry is bound to break through the layers of obstacles, only to the manufacturers to bring benefits to the user under the premise of the final leap. Cloud computing is no exception. If many problems are outstanding, but there are too many voices blindly rendering its value, its interests, over time, the feeling of exaggeration is self-evident.

1. Financial implications:

The early stage of cloud computing needs a lot of capital investment, for the data center and other infrastructure construction, small and medium-sized enterprises themselves limited liquidity, plus the credit line is generally lower, the capital becomes the key link of the early development. Google in the establishment of its own cloud center when most of the use of old machines, the establishment of a process is a centralized and efficient use of resources, but at present many of our cloud platform is to reinvest, rebuild. If there is no planning blind construction, no practical meaning to repeat the construction, after the completion of the construction and not so many users enter, it actually formed a waste of resources, can not reflect the benefits and efficiency of cloud computing.

2. Security issues

Because the cloud computing service itself is through the network to achieve resources on demand, adding a lot of intermediate links, customer access to service chain lengthened, on the one hand, cloud computing service itself there are certain security risks, such as server accidental interruption; On the other hand, through cloud computing services for customers and their specific applications involve access Data location, data isolation and data recovery, as well as third-party audits, these also have a number of security issues. At present the security aspect cannot give the enterprise to provide the sufficient trust, the enterprise to the cloud computing usability, the stability existence worry mood, in the attitude which is responsible to oneself is afraid to try to take, that entire cloud computing industry can only stay in the concept stage.

3. Non-uniform standards

The boom in cloud computing has made it leaders in many big companies start working to drive cloud standards, including cloud security and data portability.

But at present, it seems, the standard is numerous, diverging. The rapid and normal development of the industry requires a unified standard to point out what is reasonable and what works. It's like on the court. Although the contestants run on different tracks, the referee will have a clear demarcation line as to what counts as a violation and which is normal. If according to their own circuit, it is bound to form a conflicting situation. Cloud computing in the current lack of industry standards, a large number of large-scale enterprise investment propaganda, there is a blind pursuit of the industry, the excessive rhetoric of cloud computing.

In addition, the rapid development of China's cloud computing industry still exist such as lack of user cognition, data sovereignty dispute, user lock-in, service quality is difficult to standardize, no mature business operation mode and many other obstacles. Only break through the current industry obstacles, can finally cut through the clouds, down-to-earth to bring benefits to the enterprise, and truly let cloud computing in China has been a leap-forward development. Otherwise in a lot of problems above, there are many enterprises to join in, industry development can only be a superficial phenomenon, a glitz will eventually face collapse behind. Bayes Consulting that, to remove the cloud computing bubble, do not blindly pursue the amount of infrastructure investment, to solve the reality of cloud security, unified cloud standards is the most important.
