How can the four mountains facing cloud computing fall across?

With the development of mobile Internet and the influx of intelligent terminals, cloud computing has gradually penetrated into our life. Perhaps, the previous cloud computing makes you feel very high-tech, but now when it becomes a very important part of the smartphone, it has made you feel close at hand, its development potential is more important to people.

Although cloud computing has been integrated into our life, there are still many problems in the development of cloud computing in China, such as the lack of user cognition, the risk of migration, the lack of standards, user lock-in, security and data privacy, among which security, standards and data privacy are the core issues of concern at present.

Lack of user awareness

At present, the domestic cloud computing industry has not entered the outbreak stage, is still in the preparatory stage. In the 2011, Cloud computing products are emerging, more and more cloud providers are starting to push a large number of solutions, but the face of a dazzling range of cloud computing products and applications, the user's problem with it, although the user's understanding of cloud computing and recognition has improved, but the promotion is not much.

Users lack comprehensive, systematic cognition, a part of the user even into the "parrot" imitation, complete reference to foreign experience, ignoring the specific national conditions, resulting in the "Light Clouds, no rain" phenomenon, spent a lot of information technology, but did not alleviate the complexity of IT problems, The utilization rate of resources has not been improved, and the goal of reducing costs has not been achieved.

Migration risk

Cloud computing attracts users with its resilience and pay-per-view features, which require large, scalable data centers as support, and standards-based hardware to build cloud computing platforms, and in addition to the standardization of hardware requirements, cloud computing has changed the way that applications interact, This brings us to the two risks of cloud computing: hardware migration risk and application migration risk.

In the original data center, hardware is relatively independent, after migrating to the cloud computing datacenter, as virtualization deployments make the boundaries of hardware less obvious, and the devices are migrated in a virtualized fashion based on the principles of load balancing and increased utilization, the system must be evaluated and scientifically analyzed at the time of migration, Otherwise, it is likely that the hardware platform will not be able to perform its due effect, and even cause the application system to crash.

On the other hand, applications such as ERP, CRM, and OA are deployed on relatively independent hardware systems, and when migrating to cloud computing platforms, applications are likely to be deployed to different hardware or operating systems, while involving virtual machine migration and operating system compatibility. Therefore, the application of seamless migration is the key to the application of migration.

Cloud computing standards missing

As the saying goes, "No rules savages," so cloud computing standards for the landing of the cloud is crucial. There is no standard specification, cloud computing application is difficult to get real landing, more difficult to form large-scale and industrialized cluster development.

With the development of cloud computing, we can use the cloud service through different terminal equipment, so many terminal devices including mobile phone, tablet, PC and so on to interact with the cloud, if each cloud computing platform provides an interface, then the equipment is difficult to interconnect, which makes the cloud computing lost its original meaning, Therefore, we need the cloud platform to provide a unified interface to achieve the access of each terminal equipment, so as to truly realize interconnection and interoperability.

Although cloud computing products are quite rich, but the birth of cloud standards is extremely difficult, at present, the industry in this effort, but there is no uniform standards present, the major manufacturers have their own standards, the government is also involved, whether the government or manufacturers are striving to be in the cloud computing standards in the development of the dominant position, So cloud-computing standards still need to be worked out.

Security

Amazon's downtime in 2011, the Amazon outage, was impressive, and its April downtime led to a location-based social networking site Fouresquare, problem and solution provider Quora, News sharing website Reddit as well as network publisher BigDoor Paralysis, the serious thing is that Amazon this fault lasted four days, again triggered the cloud computing trust crisis, but also let users shout "can't afford"!

The solution to the security problem can be said to be the key factor of cloud computing landing. Amazon downtime problems caused by cloud computing security issues for thought, because downtime caused by service disruption is only one aspect of security, cloud security risks include the protection of user privacy, data sovereignty, disaster preparedness and so on, and even some hackers have borrowed cloud technology to seek illegal benefits. Cloud computing era, there will be more user data privacy into the cloud, and as the data increase, the value will become more and more, users because they do not know where their data to increase the fear, and thus distrust cloud computing, and ultimately inhibit the landing of cloud computing.

In fact, security is the birth of cloud computing on the back of the baggage and haze, cloud computing technology architecture, platform, terminal computing, each level can not ignore security, security is not fragmented, not a certain link to do a good job on the safety of once and for all. The good news is that we've seen a change in the security-led business's cautious approach to cloud computing.
