Cloud computing has quietly changed our way of life

What is cloud computing? Industry experts believe that the ultimate function of cloud computing is to put PCs into the Internet. Allows users to do any computer-related matters anytime, anywhere, even without having to carry a laptop or a USB drive, because all the data and software you need to use are already stored in the cloud, in your personal online account. From the point of view of the new media application, cloud computing has also opened up an innovative path for them.

Software Cloud services Transformation Cloud computing makes it possible, even realistic, for many things that previously sounded impossible.

There is such a joke, said that a boss in his home computer presses CTRL + C (copy key), and then he came to the company's computer, press CTRL + V (Paste key), thought that this can be copied home files to the company's computer.

In a time when cloud computing is "unheard of," the story can actually be a joke. But into the mobile internet era of cloud computing, through cloud storage, such applications have become possible.

The IT infrastructure of cloud computing is often regarded as the coal of electricity and water. For example, people used to drink water before they needed to hit a well. Now no drilling, as long as the tap on the water to drink. Cloud computing is the same, the former needs of enterprises to buy their own servers, build networks, operation and maintenance, now has a cloud computing platform, through the Internet can realize remote call resources, enjoy the "cloud" of flexibility and convenience.

Cloud computing has promoted the change of the whole IT industry model and broadened the industrial chain. From hardware, engine room to infrastructure that is service (IaaS), Platform as Service (PaaS), Software as service (SaaS), and virtualization, cloud computing encompasses many aspects and enables the transformation of software to services, creating new business environments through aggregation.

Also take hydro-coal as an example, in the absence of electricity, who also imagined that there will be television sets, refrigerators and other household appliances products, in the "cloud" era, everyone can have "cloud", the use of "cloud" to expand their business, quickly adapt to market demand changes. Even if you do not have your own data center, you can use a variety of terminals immediately call the "cloud" resources, for "I" used.

After several years of development, the term cloud computing has almost become a household name. As cloud applications hit the ground, real cloud services are also changing the way people live.

Cloud services can not be separated from the development of the Internet, especially with the advancement of Mobile Internet, in the future, whether it is desktop, notebook, mobile phone, wrist watch, camera, or even ATM machine, will become the cloud "personal computer" display terminal, become the "personal computer" in the cloud.

For example, when you watch a TV show on the Internet, one episode just sees half of it going out, and if it's in the past, it just has to wait until you get home and then look at it. But in the cloud video technology, you can directly through the mobile phone or tablet computer, on the road to continue watching this episode, and can be directly from just see half of the place, a second will not be wasted.

In addition to entertainment, Office has become more convenient because of cloud computing. Take the print, in the past to the printer interface and computer port with the line connection, and then install the driver, in mobile Internet and many mobile terminals appear today, this application shows certain limitations, not adapt to the needs of the development of the mobile era.

A number of printing equipment manufacturers have introduced a convenient cloud printing service system, whether it's a mobile phone, a laptop, an IPAD, or someone who controls you or someone you're authorized to do, no matter how far away you are, whatever the client you're using, you'll need to print anywhere. According to the introduction, the printing process is very simple, first the hands of the intelligent terminal connected to the cloud, with the help of cloud server, enter any keyword, such as "Xicheng" search, so that the cloud Print list, lock the printer, the file sent to the cloud printer to complete the printing. In addition, you can access the mobile phone WiFi to the printer's WiFi hotspot, then the print option will appear in the network of all the printer name, lock a printer, enter a password, press the button, you can finish printing.

Cloud services bring convenient cloud applications, driving the development of the IT industry-wide chain. In 2011, our users ' investment in building cloud computing infrastructure has reached $286 million trillion, up 42% year-on-year, according to a new study in China's cloud computing market published by the consultancy, IDC. IDC predicts that China's cloud-computing infrastructure market will continue to grow at a rapid rate of over $1 billion trillion by 2016.

Broadband is not wide to bottleneck cloud computing is an important development direction of the next generation information technology, and it is an irreversible trend. Cloud TV, Cloud printing, cloud medical, cloud tourism and other such beautiful "cloud", flexible, efficient "cloud", is not only an innovation in information technology, will also be a great competition in service quality.

Lihua, vice minister of industry and Information technology, said at the fourth session of China's cloud computing conference that cloud computing, as a new information technology application and service model, fully embodies the development trend of it integration, networking and service. With the continuous popularization of cloud computing technology, the information and communication industry will have a profound change, the user's demand for information and communication products will change, the entire industrial chain, including servers, basic networks, system software, service applications, terminals and other aspects of the development direction of technology products will be greatly changed. Speed up the development of cloud computing, the popularization of cloud services, has become the trend of industrial development, but also the inevitable choice of market competition.

Talking about the future of cloud applications, China Electronic Society Cloud Computing Experts committee chairman, Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Li DEII at the fourth session of China's cloud computing conference said: "The government and the market is the development of cloud computing two hands, to play a synergistic role." The role of the Government is mainly to guide and service, the guidance mainly embodied in the guidance, planning, standards, regulation and motivation of the 10 words, and the service is mainly embodied in the management, environment, policy of the 6 words. ”

With the development of cloud computing is the development of broadband, for the current broadband is not wide and become the bottleneck of cloud computing, Li Deii borrowed from mobile phone users-"turtle speed." "The average speed of our desktop Internet is 1.4Mbps, far below the world average and ranked 90th in the world," he said. Chinese scientists have won the first prize of the National Technology Invention Award in 2011 for solving the broadband mobile communication capacity transmission technology. As a result, broadband is not generally a technical problem. ”

Li Deii called for cloud computing pilot cities should be the first to achieve the optical fiber to households, the establishment of a fair competition in the market environment. He suggested that the broadband strategic target for the country's 5 cloud computing pilots should be set at 100 trillion, with a focus area of 1Gbps and WiFi coverage throughout the city.

However, as the infrastructure of cloud computing, the country is also vigorously promoting broadband development strategy. It is reported that "China Cloud" industrial development national planning has been approved by the State Council. The authority predicts that cloud computing is expected to become the fourth it Industrial revolution after mainframe computers, PCs, and the Internet. In the next 3 years, China's cloud computing industry chain output value will reach nearly 200 billion yuan.

More intelligent, safer, smoother beautiful "clouds" floated.
