EMC puts 2 billion dollars into cloud computing security management remains a challenge

Although the recent cloud computing security problems are repeatedly questioned by the market, this does not affect the IT giant's accelerated expansion of cloud computing. EMC, the world's largest enterprise data storage provider.　　NYSE) has announced that it will continue to invest more in cloud computing this year, with an estimated total investment of about $2 billion trillion. Invest in more than EMC chairman, President and CEO Jotus at a recent EMC Global conference forecast that the company's total revenue in 2011 was around $19.6 billion trillion, compared with about $17 billion last year. By convention, EMC invests 11% of its revenue per year on product technology development.　　As a result, EMC's investment in cloud computing this year will grow by about 130 million dollars more than last year.　　At the same time, "First financial daily" reporter also saw that EMC launched the world's largest single file system, and a new data retention software applications, to improve the storage space for cloud computing. Optimism about the future of cloud computing is based on EMC's performance base.　　EMC's first-quarter net profit rose 28% from a year earlier, with sales reaching a record high of $4.61 billion trillion, up 18% from a year earlier, mainly because many companies have increased spending on data centers and cloud computing. Not only EMC, cloud computing has also been favored by more and more enterprises.　　Research by IDC in the Asia-Pacific region at the end of 2010 showed that 53% of the agencies surveyed were already using some form of cloud, or were actively studying and testing cloud services, while the remaining 47% showed plans to adopt private cloud or public cloud services in the next 12 months.　　From a trend perspective, cloud computing enables companies to outsource computing, avoiding cost problems and frustrating data center operations, acquiring computer processors and storage over the web without using their own machines or operating software.　　IDC predicts that cloud computing will grow at a 25% annual rate, with global cloud services earning $55.5 billion trillion by 2014. Security risks However, at a time of rapid development, the security of cloud computing is being tortured by the market. From Google's mobile advertising subsidiaries suspected of illegal collection of user information and Apple to collect user positioning information, to the Amazon history of the largest downtime to its data center interruption two days, and then before the Sony server was hacked, 77 million online users personal information stolen,　　A range of cloud security issues has led many companies to rethink how dependent they are on remote, uncontrolled computers, and how the "public cloud" with massive amounts of information protects users.　　In addition to the loss caused by information disclosure, customers are less willing to see cloud computing servers at critical moments. Many analysts believe that more and more companies are considering putting more important data in the company's firewall than on the cloud, and that even a company will re-examine its own cloud service contract. As a result, the interests of companies with cloud computing as their main business may beInfluence。 To this, Jotus not taboo, he admits: "Security is definitely a big sore spot in cloud computing." EMC chief Operating officer Pat Gelsinger also said: "Just as there is no elixir of immortality in the world, we cannot ask customers to keep all the data at the highest level of security encryption for permanent safekeeping." Therefore, it is a big challenge for cloud computing industry to achieve efficient and effective protection of information security in a hybrid cloud era where public and private clouds are parallel. "In this connection, the EMC Global Service line director, Edward Newman, said to this newspaper that EMC's RSA and DMTEF companies will be able to classify and manage data from operations to servers, to archival systems, and to minimize losses in the event of problems. "EMC backs up all important data as much as possible, based on managing the ' private cloud '.　　Pat Gelsinger said.　　EMC Vice President Kathrin Winkler that the security system should be rebuilt from passive defense to active search for weak links to track tracking services. Internet commentator Liu Xingliang told reporters that cloud computing security problems due to the technical level and supporting facilities are not perfect, but "as long as the technical problems are not a problem, will eventually be resolved."
