Hongren-Cloud computing landing, the concept is not a problem

When cloud landed from the cloud, there seemed to be a tendency to "ground gas" at the same time as it seemed to be omnipotent. Hongren, a consultant to China's large data Experts committee and executive deputy director of the National Advisory Committee on Information Technology, has downplayed cloud computing: cloud Computing is the network computing, the Internet computing, whether the use of virtualization technology is not an essential issue. If you tell the public that cloud computing is Network computing or Internet computing, they will not be confused and fooled.

Hongren: Cloud computing is whether the network computing virtualization is not the essence of the problem Hongren reviewed the network machine, grid, calculation plant, such as a series of web computing forms and carrier of the development history, because of such a reason, these embryonic prototypes have failed. These failures, may just not be the time, when the history of the wheel to 2006, the March Amazon launched the concept of flexible computing cloud services, the same year in August, Google launched the concept of cloud computing, so that cloud computing in our vision, but the concept of cloud computing is not a new concept, It is the inevitable result of the exploration and Development of the network computation.

Cloud computing, is an enlarged client/server LAN architecture, but the customer is still a customer, but it is already a customer who can use any terminal device to access the Internet, and the client can be a person or an object; At this time the server, not the past or a few, but tens of thousands of units, Hundreds of thousands of or even millions of units.

Hongren's speech did not have a very bright ppt, and its complement is its level of discourse, this is as the current development of cloud computing, it should be stripped off the bustling, return to the origin of the time.

He thinks cloud computing could include three service forms of cloud services, cloud storage, and cloud computing. One of the most popular cloud services, the most typical is Apple through the smartphone to provide software download services, the current Apple platform to provide software download service has reached 2.5 million. In fact, before the concept of cloud computing, Google and Baidu to provide the search engine services is a cloud services, now a variety of Internet service providers to provide the number of cloud services, while the cloud services are internet-based services, e-mail is a cloud service, the internet age, All kinds of internet-based information and business services are of a cloud nature.

For cloud storage, web-based storage, or object storage, is a more vivid image. Object storage sees data as objects, not files, and is suitable for photos, songs, and images. And for cloud computing services, hongren that if the calculation on the cloud, its development is relatively slow, there are ideas, security reasons.

From the concept, computational capacity as a public utility, does not conform to the objective reality of information development, in fact, faster than the cloud development is the development of computer terminals. Computing is everywhere, not on the cloud, but on the ground.

Cloud computing does not apply in all areas, and it may be more appropriate for school students and low-income people in society. For private cloud, some enterprises may be useful, for example, in order to ensure their data and information security control, in order to strictly limit the use of the computer, while at the same time to reduce costs to use private cloud services. For the problem of the public cloud, whether cloud computing must mean huge economic benefits, but also need to be realistic and careful analysis.

Specific to the cloud security, Hongren not a lot of current industry people so easy. He believes that cloud security is the network security, the challenge is still very serious, whether the government or the enterprise, the core information is completely impossible to put on the public cloud. But the "cloud" of insensitive information is promising, and cloud services and cloud storage provide huge market space, paying attention to the protection of personal privacy.
