Cloud computing technology positively affects UPS

In recent years, the term "cloud computing" appears more and more frequently, and what does cloud computing mean? What part of life does it appear in? Wikipedia's definition of cloud computing services: "An online application that can be accessed from another Web service or software, with software and data stored on the server." ”

Cloud computing is in its infancy

In life, we have inadvertently used cloud computing services, not just based on a single server, but also interconnected multiple servers with cloud computing architecture components, providing managed and virtual backup services that can replace or supplement UPS solutions. However, the current development of cloud services is still in its infancy and is poised to become a mainstream technology in the future, bringing us a new and unimaginable application.

The bright Future of cloud computing

Cloud computing applications will bring a bright future, through the adoption of cloud computing applications, the United States North Carolina State Suri County North Hospital streamlined 20 servers, reducing power consumption, to avoid 25,000 U.S. dollars of UPS upgrade costs, while the network congestion and backup storage requirements reduced by 80%, By compressing the total length of nightly backups from 14 hours to less than an hour, these improvements helped save the hospital a cost of $ hundreds of thousands of.

Clearly, the recent trend towards cloud computing technology suggests that within a few years cloud computing will quickly rise and become a popular technology in most industries. According to the Data Corporation's 2009 study, global companies ' spending on cloud computing services will maintain an annual compound growth rate of 26%, from 17.4 billion to $44.2 billion, between 2009 and 2013. A survey by Forrester research in September 2010 showed that 51% of small and medium-sized enterprises plan to deploy cloud computing infrastructure services.

Manufacturers, service providers, and users of UPS systems should consider the impact of cloud computing technology on the UPS market and the future direction of the UPS system as more and more companies adopt cloud computing technology, because cloud computing technology will bring the following advantages to the enterprise:

1. Cost savings: By adopting cloud computing technology, companies will be able to outsource data hosting and software applications with simple, low-cost computers within the company. In addition, the use of cloud computing services companies to provide applications can also help enterprises to reduce or save operational costs, such as firewall security costs, software development human resources costs, and on-site software and hardware maintenance and maintenance-related costs.

2. Expand the size of the business on the basis of existing resources: by outsourcing hosting and application services, companies need to increase their operations without additional investment and further cost savings as a result of the need for additional staffing; In addition, when the business is in trouble, the enterprise can contract out part of the business, no need to dismiss staff.

3. Pay according to the usage demand: The enterprise can pay the service cost of outsourcing cloud computing according to the frequency of service, and pay the small amount of information hosting fee regularly. This makes it possible to reduce spending in difficult times and reduce marginal costs in the longer term.

4. Free choice of the level of protection required: cloud computing technology provides a more reliable and usable backup service for enterprises, especially for small and medium-sized businesses, compared to servers within the enterprise. With this technology, service providers can provide the necessary hardware and virtual redundancy to meet any customer availability and reliability requirements by virtue of their own strength or in collaboration with other industry companies.
