2011, the hottest technology trend is not cloud computing. Along with the company's private cloud, the public cloud and other concepts flooded, all the industry's CIO also began to think--floating in the sky, if the cloud can fall?

Recently, in an interview with Shengde CIO Pei, he raised his expectations for new technology in 2012-How does cloud computing truly fall into the insurance industry?

For the insurance industry, Pei, the best cloud service is the provision of private cloud services on the public cloud infrastructure. On-demand service, reliability, stability and trans-regional nature of the insurance industry's disaster preparedness and core business continuity

Just fits the cloud's characteristics.

Pei For example, the traditional business model of the insurance company is not very high in the disaster preparedness system, but the banking system of the insurance company and the bank to deal with the real time online will raise the requirement of the disaster preparedness for the continuity of the bank's guarantee business. If we build a mirror disaster preparedness system according to the bank's disaster preparedness mode, we need to build two host systems and two sets of star-shaped line network systems. 2:1 of the input-output ratio, obviously higher cost. As the CIO of the insurance company, it is the responsibility to find a more effective and business continuity of the technical solutions, cloud technology is within the scope of consideration.

At present, the application of cloud computing in finance industry, Pei use "Ituge" to describe. IT service providers are "Ituge", CIOs are "smoke and mirrors", like cloud computing this new technology, but ultimately not trust, so many financial industry CIOs choose Cash, and no actual input.

Pei that cloud computing is the product of quantitative and qualitative changes in technology, and the value of cloud computing lies in the social services of the public cloud. Cloud computing should be inexpensive, highly available, and available on demand. The value of social services in the cloud is as cheap as utilities and as safe as a private cloud.

In the 2012, for cloud computing vendors, Pei put forward their own expectations: cheap, safe, to ensure business continuity, good service. Cloud technology is the basis, security management and legal protection is the firewall, in the legal protection of the environment under the circumstances to promote public cloud services, cloud manufacturers can consider the use of service security and financial security to make up.
