Make sure the cloud is safe.

What is the real cloud? Now the cloud concept has been noisy hot, everywhere in the reference cloud, and even the cloud community, cloud tourism and so on fresh words, is not all industries with the cloud can dip it? Cloud computing is everywhere, what's the difference? Is it enough that the big computing centers are stacked together? It's worth thinking about.

Kinshan, chief researcher of the Software Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, citing Microsoft's chief research and strategy Officer Rey Oze, Microsoft's successor to Bill Gates: "Cloud computing must address some of the problems that stand-alone or a handful of computing capabilities cannot solve on the Internet level, including servers, virtual machines, applications, etc. The cloud architecture of the total sum. Of course, to apply cloud computing to the enterprise, the first thing to be sure of the enterprise is favorable, not blindly follow suit.

For the cloud security problem, most of the projects in the enterprise have used the traditional network security and system security protection means, some also according to the actual demand, increased card security, backup and recovery. But is that enough? Obviously, the 2001 Amazon Cloud security incident, causing about 1000 companies to interrupt the service 24-72 hours, the impact is conceivable.

To the public on cloud computing problems, inevitably asked, the use of cloud computing, security is improved or decreased? Microsoft is responsible for Trustworthy computing, said the global vice President: There are both increased and reduced, for some business is not professional small companies, through the cloud computing services, is undoubtedly to improve data security; And some large companies, more likely to reduce security, and constantly face the huge challenges of unstructured data growth, the logic of constantly adding virtual machines, which can lead to security risks. Therefore, there are two sides to the security of cloud, also need to think rationally.

So cloud security is a big challenge for companies to face cloud computing, and it's probably just a basic concept that says "information security" in the past. Now what should be pursued is called "mission security", or "Application Security", in addition to the traditional security, but also added an uninterrupted service, which gives the connotation of information security put forward new requirements. Cloud Security is a business to be cautious, so that the cloud for rain, and Mo Cheng hail.
