Cloud security is a huge challenge for cloud computing's future development

At present, the whole world has set off a Geoyun upsurge. "Clouds", "Jianyun", "Deng Yun", "Driving Cloud", "Teng Yun" heat wave high waves. Google, IBM, Microsoft and other IT giants to the unprecedented speed and scale to promote the spread of cloud computing and development, a large number of academic activities with business advocacy, quickly put the concept of cloud computing into a leadership and entrepreneurial agenda; Media hype, but also to the peak of cloud computing. Desperately for capital.


However, the hype and clamor of the "cloud" will eventually dissipate. The attic in the clouds always lands. With cloud planning, cloud program, Cloud project, cloud application of the gradual landing and implementation. The true nature of cloud computing has become clearer, and the business value of cloud computing has become increasingly apparent.


So, China has also stepped into the rapid development of cloud computing. However, in the current rapid development of cloud computing, there is a very worthwhile question to ask: the development of cloud computing does not pay attention to cloud security. Therefore, this article puts forward some opinions and views on this.


One, we must understand the development of cloud computing at the same time brought great security risks


"cloud computing" is not the first sound of Google sounded the bell. In fact, as early as 2003, the US National Science Fund invested 8.3 million of dollars in support of the "grid virtualization and Cloud computing Vgrads" project put forward by seven top institutions, officially launching the prologue to cloud computing. Since then, the--nebula of NASA's cloud computing system has been launched. From 2004 onwards, the United States has introduced a simple queue services to cloud computing services in the embryonic form. The Simple Storage Service (S3) and the Flexible Computing Cloud (EC2), introduced by Amazon in 2006, have become a sign that cloud computing services are beginning to mature.


IBM introduced the "Blue Cloud" program in 2008 to launch the concept of a shared cloud and private cloud. The cloud-based collaboration platform was released in 2009. The European Union launched the "Vision Cloud" program, allocating 21.4 million of dollars to finance cloud storage technology research and development. Germany has invested heavily in the forefront of 4g/lte and cloud computing research, setting up Europe's largest cloud computing center in Magdeburg, Germany, in January this year, and launching a satellite cloud computing program. Japan is more optimistic about the future of the cloud computing market. Its economic and industrial Province determines: it will use cloud computing in areas such as health care, education and electricity. The South Korean government has launched the "invigorating cloud computing Comprehensive plan". Make sure to invest 3.6 billion yuan to develop cloud computing. It aims to improve the competitiveness of Korea's cloud computing industry and improve the efficiency of national IT resources.


Google to seize the strategic commanding heights of cloud computing, in Europe has been built or under construction of 12 data centers. According to the IT industry, Gartner estimates that Google has nearly 1 million servers in more than 40 data centers around the world. IBM, in order to confirm the feasibility of its "cloud computing" business model, has also built a successful case in the Netherlands and built the Yellow River Delta Cloud computing service platform in China. Microsoft has identified the development of cloud strategy and reference framework for China. And to determine the next 3 years, Microsoft Hewlett-Packard to invest 250 million U.S. dollars to develop cloud computing.

The wide application and rapid development of
cloud computing will fundamentally change the way of information acquisition and knowledge dissemination, promote the service transformation of infrastructure operation, software and other information industry, and foster the new value-added information service mode of Cross-industry integration application.


uses cloud computing to manage and dispatch the computing resources connected by a large number of networks separately, and form a pool of computing resources to provide users with on-demand services. This could be a gathering of scattered resources, to provide the possibility of in-depth development of information resources, the scattered resources can be pooled to provide the possibility of integrated application; In the information resource pool, a large number of high value-added information resources are gathered: not only provides the possibility of value-added development and intelligent development of information resources, but also provides a deep development of clustering computing capacity, The realistic possibility of value-added development.


in this development situation, China has accelerated the pace of cloud computing development. Not long ago, the NDRC and Ministry of Research identified: Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Wuxi for cloud computing pilot provinces. Huawei recently announced that it should not only build a cloud computing platform, but also open up cooperation to build a win-lose ecological chain. Let customers "like electricity to enjoy applications and services." Next, China's first "commercial cloud computing Center" settled in Wuxi, Beijing launched the cloud computing "Xiangyun project." Shanghai has launched its three-year cloud computing development program. To identify six major projects in key development. Strive for three years to achieve the cloud industry base value of 5 billion yuan, the initial formation of influential cloud computing industry embryonic. Harbin to use the world's largest cloud computing data center site more than 40 degrees north latitude-50 degrees between the geographical advantage, the construction of "China Cloud Valley." Its "Financial industry data Center" has started construction.


at the social level, the three major operators identified their own cloud development plans. Alibaba to build E-commerce cloud computing company. Represents the need to provide computing, storage services to customers. Since January 29, 2010 Bird Cloud computing base settled in Ningbo, to December 15 the first domestic cloud computing e-government projects in Rong landed. This year's China can be said to be in the cultivation of "cloud" rain-seeding construction boom.


Should say: "Cloud computing" this kind of rapid development, for our country information technology deep development and the application, has brought the new development opportunity. Its intelligent management algorithm and integrated development design provide a new way to solve the development of information resources in China's informatization construction. And can activate the huge demand market, give full play to the investment potential of the infrastructure of information construction for many years, and quickly build the system of the state-led, "cloud computing" layout with Chinese characteristics. The rapid formation of China's "cloud computing" resource development capabilities and application development capabilities.


However, because many of us lack a deep understanding of the origins and development of cloud computing, we do not understand the fact that cloud computing was first developed rapidly and applied first in American military applications. Even less aware of the EU's efforts to protect the economic security and information security of clouds enterprises.


so that, not only mistakenly think that Google sounded the "cloud" first sound, but also the development of the Internet of things, in the pig sales of simple retrospective application, also as a typical application of cloud computing. In particular: the rapid development of cloud computing in China under the strong momentum, no intention to ignore cloud security, and deliberately ignore the phenomenon of cloud security, but also serious. has reached the shore of the waves, the risk of knocking at the point, anxious to cause the relevant departments and the whole society's high attention and attention.
