Dispel--a practical analysis of personal cloud computing services

What is cloud computing? Very simple, is QQ space, QQ music, G-mail mailbox, they all have one thing in common you store personal data on their servers, make calls when needed, and edit them. For example, you put your own logs, photos, in the QQ space of the server is Tencent's server, then every day to visit, update, upload, delete, and so on, for example, QQ music, in fact, you put on the server in the Private music library, you ordered what songs, what music, the server to help you store well, when needed, On demand.

Yes, "cloud computing" in fact already in our elementary school time, came to our side, but there is no unified definition, and its application is limited to upload, access, modify data. Imagine, if one day, we can use QQ space, in 1 minutes to finish processing 100 million pixel BMP image, that, what is the scene?

Now, it is no longer an unreachable "cloud", today's cloud computing, what is it?

The 2011 Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is an internet-based Super computing model in which thousands of computers and servers are connected to a cloud of computers in remote data centers. As a result, cloud computing can even allow you to experience more than 10 trillion computing power per second, with such powerful computational power to simulate nuclear explosions, predict climate change and market trends. However, for ordinary users, cloud computing is through the computer, notebook, mobile phone and other means of access to the data center, according to their own needs for operations.

Below, the author lists some of our side of the "cloud computing", hope that netizens can foresee this way of computing the great practical significance!

1, Aliyun mobile phone:

Characteristics：

All applications run on the network

Mode of operation

By opening the mobile Web browser, you can operate the software on the server side

Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group, plans to launch a new mobile phone operating system called Aliyun, which will be built into China's electricity market in smartphones and Tablet PCs.

The system is run by W700, a cloud smartphone from Beijing Tianyu. The company announced that Alibaba's system will be based entirely on cloud computing services, including e-mail, Internet search, weather updates a set of GPS satellite map applications. The new system requires users to stay networked to use web-based applications instead of using a built-in native application, but the company further says that handsets can be compatible with Android programs on some features.

Alibaba claims to be China's largest e-commerce group, with revenue reaching 153 million yuan (2.377 million U.S. dollars) in the first quarter.

"Mobile users want a more open, portable mobile system experience, a solution that allows them to fully enjoy the benefits of handheld connectivity, while cloud-based Aliyun operating systems will solve the problem," said Wangjiang, Alibaba's head of cloud computing. The introduction of cloud programs into mobile devices will not only bring a new user experience, but also allow third party mobile program development teams to acquire new machines that can use HTML5 or javascripte to reduce the complexity of program development.

In other words, the openness of cloud computing, the difficulty of developing cloud phone application and the reduction of development cost will be the three magic weapons of Aliyun OS against Apple iOS and Google Android!

2, Millet mobile phone cloud services

Characteristics

Individual users can get a free hard drive on a Web server

Mode of operation

Register Jinshan Fast disk, use the online storage function of Jinshan fast disk

Jinshan Fast disk launched by Jinshan cloud storage services, features similar to Dropbox, with network synchronization, backup and sharing functions. Users simply download Jinshan fast-disk client software (http://k.wps.cn/), it will generate a virtual letter (k disk) in the computer, the need to back up and sync files in which it can be.

3. Apple Cloud Service
