The concept of cloud acceleration is actually not a new concept.
Previously, Google and Sogou have tried to use the browser for its definition, in their definition, the cloud acceleration is a real server through speed acceleration, to achieve online browsing speed of technology, compared to the traditional browser acceleration technology, this cloud acceleration technology really achieve the real speed of the promotion.
In fact, this is just a browser-based definition, which is narrow and not broad enough, but it is the embryonic form of cloud acceleration.
The application of cloud acceleration can also be used in many aspects, looking at the domestic, in addition to Sogou browser has proposed the concept of cloud acceleration, another in the cloud to accelerate the service of the company should be the Thunderbolt.
So, how does the Thunder cloud acceleration realize? Will it become the template for cloud acceleration in China?
The author has always been a obsessed with a variety of internet technology otaku, but also a loyal user of thunder, below from my perspective to explain what I understand the Thunder cloud acceleration.
Mention of the Thunderbolt, everyone's feeling is a word: fast. But in this "fast" experience behind, the Thunderbolt has a considerable investment, and this is my willingness to pay their reasons.
Thunderbolt launched the high-speed channel and offline transmission of these two cloud accelerator can indeed significantly improve the speed of file transmission, so that users really appreciate the network, across the Internet data transmission. But why is the use of high-speed channels and offline transmission of these two services can improve the speed of the data transfer process? This will start from the Thunder Cloud Accelerator service.
Because China's network environment is complex, the gap between the three networks will exist for a long time. And when we're transferring resources from the Internet, if you transfer files from the original server to the local, and the original server is very far from the local, plus the frequency of the resource itself is less, the location of the server can provide the speed of transmission is not high, then, even if we use the access bandwidth is very large, File transfers are still slow.
Conversely, if the resources are very hot, the resources of the server can provide high transmission speed, a lot of resources, but we use the bandwidth is not high, file transmission speed is not very high. However, it is gratifying to note that with the gradual popularization of fiber-optic broadband access in various parts of the country, this situation is becoming less.
The first is a situation that everyone will encounter, some of the resources are very slow to transmit, in such a fast-paced internet age, this slow speed is obviously unbearable. And the Thunder is in this case to do the article, that is, the use of thunder cloud accelerated users can easily solve this problem.
In fact, the Thunderbolt users every day through the Thunderbolt transmission of hundreds of billions of documents. And it is on this basis that Thunderbolt has made its cloud accelerator service an accelerated mode of intelligent caching (smart CDN). It adjusts the content of the index according to the current popular resource distribution, and transfers the hottest resources to the users who need them in the hottest time.
The Thunder Cloud Accelerator service can also continuously carry on the data mining analysis to the file history record which the user transmits. So that the user most want to get the resources to achieve the user data transmission of the relaxed and carefree.
According to the author understand, Thunder is currently trying to apply cloud acceleration technology to its downloads, video, games and other fields, if the whole network can realize the cloud acceleration, then the Thunder may really take the opportunity to grasp the cloud acceleration, so as to become China's Cloud Accelerator template builders.
