How far is cloud computing from us

As a common user, including businesses and individuals, in the future will be used in cloud computing, whether you accept it or not, the cloud is a trend. And cloud applications are already around you and me. Microsoft said in a white paper that msn,http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/38308.html ">hotmail is a kind of cloud service, but not previously mentioned, Microsoft's recently released Office2010 will also implement cloud computing applications. Google does not need to mention that its online documents, mailboxes, online albums, etc. are cloud computing applications.

For individuals, cloud computing will indeed bring benefits to our real life. One argument is that cloud computing services are like the grid. We use electricity, but we do not need to build a power plant, the manufacturer has built the interface through the network into the home. Cloud computing is also the same, the future of our applications, including games, working documents and other applications, backstage calculations are not in their own home, and in the service provider, we need just to plug the network interface, and then home TV, computers, mobile phones can apply a variety of services.

This is also true for the enterprise, if the service provider can not deploy or revoke IT services within 10 minutes, if you want to rebuild your system, if the provider needs you to prepare a list of required machines in advance, these circumstances can not be called cloud computing.

But one of the biggest problems that cloud computing needs to solve is security! Security is the number one problem for both individuals and businesses, and if the information is stored outside, privacy, and business secrets can be stolen.

So cloud computing is already in our lives!
