"Prism door" stirs cloud Europe to push its own cloud computing

The "Prism Gate" incident that the NSA monitors public privacy has been exposed and aftershocks have continued.

According to foreign media reports, the U.S. National Security Agency secretly monitoring the activities of the 9 largest Internet companies in the United States, sparking unrest in Europe, worried about the preservation of information on the United States server is safe, the European cloud computing market or thus attract the opportunity to accelerate development.

As early as last year, the French government had invested € 150 million to finance local cloud service providers Cloudwatt and Numergy, allowing France to handle online information independently of American companies.

Germany has created "cloud services: German manufacturing" programs to provide services to local businesses. Local lawyers in Europe say that the usual data to the United States will be handled through the cloud facilities of US companies, and that users are worried about the secret access to information from the US authorities.

Earlier this year, the new US legislation provided that U.S. intelligence could monitor all information stored in computer systems in the United States without a search warrant. This means that private information from other countries, such as Apple's icloud and Google's cloud drive, to cloud storage services, can be obtained unconditionally by the U.S. government.

The European Union's justice commissioner, Reading, recently wrote to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder asking the United States to explain its secret intelligence surveillance program to the European Union, as well as concerns that U.S. authorities could monitor the private information of European citizens on a large scale.

It has been reported that the European Commission is introducing a data protection decree, including strengthening the regulation of data protection for third-country companies. The decree has been debated for 1.5, and the willingness of member Governments to support it is not strong, and the "Prism Gate" event may help the law get more support.

The BBC believes that the U.S. National Security Agency to access personal information via the Internet, first of all thanks to the cloud computing era. Today, a lot of user data is no longer stored on personal computers, but in the hands of cloud service providers.

Now, the use of cloud computing technology continues to heat up, although Europe's cloud computing infrastructure development than the North American market lag some, but the growth trend is strong.

Analysts said that the "Prism gate" incident will instead be a boost to the European cloud computing market Development booster, countries will also strengthen the security of network data, especially the "cloud security" market will be a burst of growth.

In addition, the article in the Fortune magazine pointed out that as people's attention to privacy increased, communication encryption, information destruction has become a thriving industry.

Data show that 2012 China cloud computing market size of more than 60 billion yuan, an increase of 92.3%, this year, China's cloud computing market will be more than 110 billion yuan. At the same time, some industry giants have entered the cloud security field, the cloud security market is about to usher in the outbreak.
