Cloud computing: "Cloud" or "foggy"

Casually stroll the exhibition hall of this high fair, will find a word everywhere ——— cloud computing, "medical cloud", "education cloud", even "Taiji cloud", "Bubble Cloud". In yesterday's "new generation of Information technology Development Forum", Shenzhen Mayor Xu also revealed that the end of this year, Shenzhen will introduce a new generation of information technology industry development planning and corresponding policies, will focus on 2.5 billion to support cloud computing, Internet and other information technology industry development.

What is a cloud? How much change will it bring to our lives? So "cloudy" high Rendezvous, is good or bad? South all reporters yesterday interviewed from the Enterprise, the Institute of the relevant people, their definition of the cloud gave a different answer. But the consensus is: cloud indeed many, the future is also very good, some people will catch up with "somersault cloud", seize the opportunity, there will certainly be more people from this round of "cloud Leap" in the fall, the industry shuffle is inevitable.

The concept is a basket application. "This is a problem that many academicians can't figure out, and people don't really have to figure it out."

What is cloud computing? "Just like tap water, turn on the faucet when you want." The answer seemed too philosophical. "I use a word that is not very appropriate: omnipotent." "Dawn information Industry Company's senior vice President Nie Hua said.

The traditional meaning of cloud computing is limited to the information domain, and network, computer-related. But in a broad sense cloud computing is almost ubiquitous and all-encompassing, "you go to the movies, you call, you search, you play games, even the government, and it's about cloud computing." Nie Hua said that it is because cloud computing has infiltrated into every aspect of everyday life, so it is difficult to give it a clear definition, "this is a problem that many academicians don't know, and people don't really have to figure it out."

In Shenzhen, the new element of medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. Mr Lai, cloud computing is like a highway, "there is a huge storage and supercomputing capacity." If the health records of 14 million people in Shenzhen are stored in the computer, then the ordinary computer is unbearable, but if uses the cloud service, can realize the information the solid guidance, "like the ECG the oversized sample, the ordinary transmission speed is unbearable, but now the technology already can realize". He told reporters in the south, including intelligent baby management systems, cardiovascular management systems, and other projects in collaboration with hospitals, "we provide this 24-hour health care for patients, and patients pay rent." "Cloud health services are only one application of cloud computing," if the highway is built and there is no car to go, it is wasteful. ”

"Cloud leap" is really happening "will be a big shuffle, the last remaining, is that a few flowers stand out from the clouds."

"Suddenly as the spring breeze, thousand tree million pear blossom," overnight, a variety of "clouds" emerged, let people fall into the "fog." Some media believe that some areas do not have the conditions are also in the cloud computing, China's cloud computing seems to evolve into a movement, into a "cloud leap", full of bubbles and the benefits of myth.

"Now a lot of people on the development of cloud computing is still controversial, that is a bubble, but you see the world's top companies are pushing cloud computing, they are pushing bubbles?" Nie Hua regrets. He admits that in this "cloud leap" frenzy, there is indeed a relatively disorderly and disorderly phenomenon, "even real estate developers build houses, are said to engage in cloud computing, because it is for the cloud computing industry." "Cloud computing itself is a very promising industry, but it does need to be normalized," said Nie Hua, who used to evaluate cloud computing and see how big it is, and now ask if there is a core competency. ”

Jiang Jianping, dean of the Advanced Technology Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that at present, the cloud leap does exist, some cities in the mainland to develop cloud computing desire is really strong, all over the development of the same industry, hoping to seize the opportunity of cloud computing. This shows that cloud computing is indeed the future of very promising industries, so there is so much capital, people are optimistic about it. But in this wave, some people will win, some failed, after the market competition and adjustment, "will be a big shuffle, the last remaining, is that a few of the clouds stand out," and these clouds win the prerequisite is, with independent intellectual property rights. Jiang Jianping said that a round of competition, there will always be injured, but should not because someone defeated, the technology does not pay attention to. In fact, should not be afraid of cloud wave, but should be the initiative to become "tide-goers", in this round of competition with the world through the city's own efforts to gain the opportunity.

"Cloud security" is a big problem. "It's like putting money in a bank and failing a bank."

Miss Chen at the high fair for a long time, said she understood a little cloud concept ——— use the Cloud desktop and cloud system, where to go, their own desktop are the same. But she was worried that if the cloud system she was storing had problems, it would be like putting money in a bank and failing a bank.

Nie Hua said that security is the most urgent problem in the development of cloud computing industry, the larger the scale, the greater the challenge. He called for example, a generator to power a light bulb, not to consider security issues, but if the grid together, a small accident will cause a large area of power outages, infectious, correlation is the first concern. In Nie Hua's view, "security" and "autonomy" are closely linked, "If we are using foreign technology, there is no way to control cloud security." According to him, just launched the Shenzhen Cloud Computing Center, in the security of the investment has tens of millions of yuan, the entire host is divided into eight partitions, each partition has an isolation mechanism, in addition, the Network Division, Authority management, operating system control, including firewalls, security gateways, intrusion detection, virus control, etc. Have a lot of manpower. "Technically, cloud computing has no absolute security, but we are the safest on an autonomous basis," he said. ”

As the equipment supplier of Shenzhen Cloud Computing Center, Innovative Storage Technology Co., Ltd. a senior sales manager said the cloud could be understood as the consolidation of computing storage resources, "Customers can not buy hardware, but can rent, can adjust the hardware space arbitrarily." The user obtains the password in the authentication mode, rents the network managed service. He thinks the national data Center is a strict data encryption device, and the most important thing is "both sides have to have trust, like you put money in the bank, but the bank does not say that 100% will not fail, then you have to trust it." ”
