Cloud computing tends to serve fine differentiation and security pragmatism

Recently, IBM announced the use of its software services leading technology to help transform the western region, helping the marketing industry migrate to the cloud platform; In addition, Symantec provides SaaS-based network backup solutions for small and midsize enterprises, enabling users to easily back up data and prevent disasters. According to the measures of the above two companies, the research of the sea ratio suggests that this reveals two important trends in cloud computing applications, that is, cloud services are more finely differentiated and characterized, and cloud security is also moving towards a pragmatic stage.

First of all, the current cloud computing service providers to provide users with feature applications, will bring them more living space.

Cloud computing has begun to shift from the original hype of the concept to a real-world application, a process that is not easy for both cloud computing service providers and end users. On the one hand, cloud computing can actually give users much more support than they think, but whether the service to the end user is what it needs or is, it is a problem that both sides struggle with.

On the one hand, cloud computing service providers provide services content, regardless of the content of how much, to what extent, but as a user is still more want to see on the user platform it is the most want and most need the service content. Rather than the user based on their own early assessment, inspection, determine what they need to serve the content, based on the final user platform on the display of service content. This process is a complex and challenging ordeal for users.

In addition, in the view of users, since the application of cloud computing to pay the corresponding costs, then the user should get a higher degree of service content, rather than the current view of this specious several fixed service content. Like application software products, users are more likely to use tailor-made products if they do not consider the scale of inputs and the deployment cycle.

In a comprehensive way, the research of the sea-ratio studies that the future cloud computing service provider can launch the characteristic application service, satisfies the different industry difference, the regional difference and even other refinement classification user's demand is it continues in the cloud computing tidal current not to be marginalized the condition.

Secondly, with the application of cloud computing services materialized, cloud security solutions have been extended to specific areas, into a pragmatic phase.

The study of the sea compared to the introduction of more security solutions, showing that the cloud computing model itself security has a lot to address, and as enterprise users in the process of receiving cloud computing services, security is one of the most important factors, in the security is not effectively resolved before, The application of cloud computing will also be a vision.

The security focus of cloud computing, through a series of recent security solutions from security solutions providers, has been extended to specific security solution areas from the more retreat areas of compliance, electronic evidence, and risk control, as practical applications extend.

For example, from the enterprise-level user perspective, Cloud computing security can not be separated from the enterprise to choose which cloud model, that is, private cloud and public cloud. Whether it's a private cloud for the enterprise, or a public cloud for cloud service providers, all need to consider the security of the cloud infrastructure, but if you choose the public cloud, the security of the cloud service provider infrastructure is not an issue that needs to be considered by the enterprise, but it is necessary to consider the security resolution capabilities and levels of the service provider. Overall, the security of the cloud infrastructure is not much different from the traditional IT security architecture, but the biggest change comes from the great challenges of virtualization technology and the security of virtualization technologies.

So in the future, security providers will be based on traditional security solutions and products, increase the development of virtualization security technology, and constantly in the enterprise private cloud construction and maintenance, as well as public cloud service providers to expand their influence. Also, for security vendors, it is possible to think more about implementing and deploying dynamic security policies, while taking into account the compatibility of security technologies and solutions in the context of the choice of different cloud modes. Flexible security policies and security control capabilities will be the standard for companies to choose security providers.

The research of the sea ratio studies that the future demand security solution provider will focus on security solution development direction including:

First, data security. Including data transmission security, data isolation, data residue, etc.

Second, the application of security. Including end user security, three-tier application security;

Third, technical security. Including virtualization software security for resource pool construction, Virtual server security, etc.
