Cloud storage in the next year or two market space amplification

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, especially the rapid development of computer and network, people have more and more requirements for the large capacity, convenience and reliability of information data access. In the cloud computing wave, the new storage technology-cloud storage, increasingly become the future direction of data storage, there is analysis that, although the development of cloud storage is still limited, but in the next year or two, cloud storage market space will be magnified.

Cloud storage is an important application of cloud computing, a technology that stores a team or individual's files or data in a data center rather than locally and pays for actual use. Broadly speaking, it also includes file management services provided on a storage basis, i.e. storage + "operating system". At present, cloud storage can be divided into public cloud storage and private cloud storage by different classification criteria, personal cloud storage and enterprise cloud storage.

In the domestic cloud storage service fast enough science and technology CEO Jiang Shuo Miao to reporters, cloud storage and cloud computing are inseparable, cloud computing includes infrastructure and application two levels, cloud storage is the same, such as Alibaba, seven Neu Yun storage to provide cloud storage is the former, for developers (IT service providers, etc.); Fast technology is the latter. , for specific users (end consumers), is essentially a storage-oriented cloud products.

According to a report published by the consultant, China's online file storage market is divided into two types of backup-sharing and collaboration, and the current online file storage market is in the development period. The cloud storage industry chain includes upstream infrastructure storage service providers, telecom IDC service providers and mid-stream file storage providers, agents, and downstream end-users. Of these, for collaborative online file-storage teams, upstream storage service vendors and telecom IDC service providers operating costs constitute the main operating costs of collaborative online file storage (some collaborative online file storage teams will hire cloud storage services to further reduce operating costs), as collaborative online file storage is more of a paid service , storage and bandwidth costs can be effectively overwritten.

The analysis suggests that with smartphones, the popularity of a variety of intelligent terminals such as tablets, the amount of data owned by individual users is growing in geometric multiples, whether from the security of storage or with the convenience of use, it is a general trend to upload data to the cloud rather than local collections. From the perspective of social effects, the core of cloud storage and cloud computing is the enhancement of management ability, which is intensive, easy to carry out centralized management and reduce social cost. For small and medium-sized enterprises, through cloud computing or cloud storage and large enterprises in the information technology to stand on the same starting line, cloud computing through centralized management can greatly reduce the information costs of individual SMEs.

At present, security is still the biggest obstacle to the development of cloud storage, and most of the users are still worried about the security of cloud storage. In this respect, in addition to the continuous improvement of technology, the government-promoted certification work will also be conducive to enhance the recognition of cloud storage and market space. Recently, at the 2014 Credible cloud Services conference held in Beijing, the Ministry of the Department issued the first batch of cloud services certified by the trusted cloud, in which Ali Cloud computing's three cloud services-server ECS, cloud database RDS and cloud storage OSS were the first to pass certification. This is the first time the domestic authorities to carry out the field of cloud computing certification. According to a survey by the Telecommunications Research Institute, more than 50% of users are distrustful of cloud services because of the lack of standards. Trusted cloud Services Certification has initially established a trust system, and industry experts also said that this will further promote government departments of the procurement of cloud services.

Future cloud storage Development direction, Jiang Shuo Miao thought can and other systems docking, any system produced data can be unified management, maintenance, continuously strengthen the mobile End function, gradually enhance the security of data distribution, large data analysis, processing. He judged that in the next year or two, the cloud storage market space will enlarge, the main basis is: User habits will be gradually cultivated; in the context of slowing economic growth, enterprises need to increase revenue and expenditure, to promote the cloud storage is a time; traditional mode providers are weakening, causing users to potentially replace storage systems in the future.
