Ubuntu users ' synchronous backup based on Enterprise cloud computing

To understand cloud services, you must first understand the fundamentals of cloud computing.

Cloud computing: Enterprise data centers run more like the Internet by making calculations on a large number of distributed computers rather than on local computers or remote servers. This allows the enterprise to switch resources to the required applications and to access the computer and storage systems as needed.

This type of service is to mobilize the various resources in the network to serve the users. (personally think a bit like BT). Unity is strength!

This service will be the mainstream of the future.

Ubuntu one will provide 2GB of free storage during the test, and users can rent more space on demand, at a cost of $1 a month in 1GB space. However, according to Ubuntu's own engineers, this is only the current way to take up the charges, the specific plan will be confirmed later.
