Public cloud business applications, users will be more concerned about security and cost

The concept of cloud storage has been proposed for some time, and the market performance is different. It is well known that cloud storage is typically provided by third parties with complete data center facilities. Enterprise users and individuals host data to a third party and perform on-demand access to data through public, private, or mixed cloud forms. In short, it can be understood as an extended, online storage space for you. Most of the cloud storage patterns that are currently in use are file-sharing services. For example, Dropbox is an online storage service that allows users to store and share files and folders. There are also a number of online-sharing file services such as Jinshan network, which are marked by cloud storage. Apple's "Next great vision" of Apple's cloud-storage services product icloud. Under the catalytic of policies and hot spots such as energy saving and emission reduction, green it and so on, the development trend and foreground of cloud storage in 2012 will be more significant, of course, it is an unavoidable problem for cloud storage because of security and so on.

After all, the current cloud storage does not have a mature market model. Cloud storage builds services on large server groups, providing fast, reliable, and infinitely scalable storage services to end users through virtualization technology. Many people feel that cloud storage and network disk functions somewhat similar, but unlike the network disk, we can simply divide cloud storage into cloud storage and cloud synchronization two services. Some of the ways in which cloud storage servers are used include three aspects, first, users directly use storage-related online services, such as network hard disk, online storage and other services, second, users to transfer files, or service providers to release the content of the buffer, such as domestic online video services, file transit services; Open interfaces through the Internet enable Third-party developers to provide cloud storage services to end users, and so on.

You can send a shared link to a file to your friends, as well as a shared link to a folder. So when the files in your folder are changed, your friends don't have to download the contents of the folder again, and you don't have to resend the new shared link to your friends, because the files under the shared links are also updated. This is very convenient to send the entire folder to your friends, of course, you use the same. It is noteworthy that while IT professionals are keen to take advantage of the low cost per gigabyte offered by cloud providers, data from the Forrester Hardware survey shows that respondents in different regions and sizes seem to have little interest in moving their data to the cloud quickly. While storage service has a long-term potential, Forrester sees problems with guaranteed service levels, security, chain of custody, shared leases, and long-term pricing as major hurdles that must be addressed before cloud computing can actually take off. Frankly speaking, security and application are not very reassuring.

The data must be more secure, the value of the data, and how quickly you must access the data. If data-critical data, if lost, could bankrupt the company, no agency would entrust its own data entirely to a non-owned IT infrastructure. So in the choice of time, but also how to resolve it? In fact, we have also seen a lot of experts giving advice in this respect. First, make your choice: private cloud or public cloud, which is best for your organization? Describe the two kinds of clouds in the simplest way: the public cloud, where you can store your information and run applications on the Internet, and private clouds, which have more flexibility, control, and security than those in the intranet.

Choosing the most appropriate location for a data center to deploy is also the key to planning to apply cloud storage. Virtual computing power and storage resources are key to making the cloud truly operational. The industry considers primarily virtualized servers, but it data centers also need virtualized storage. Conversely, if there is no cloud computing, will greatly reduce the enterprise in the application layer can do. When the cloud is deployed, it is necessary to know when to use the public cloud and private cloud to provide the most appropriate service to end users in the most economical way. The advantage of a private cloud is deployment speed and security benefits, a private storage cloud built on virtualization technology that can be compatible with a variety of server and desktop virtualization platforms. If it is a less risky business application, you can build a public service host. Obviously, the key is to see what your needs are, so in the choice of time is more purposeful.

At present, in the public cloud business applications, users will pay more attention to security and cost, but also need to consider the network bandwidth factors. So in the public cloud, backup and archiving applications should be a mainstream direction. In fact, it is hard to see cases where the business is completely migrated to the public cloud service. Nirvanix, President and CEO of cloud storage service provider Jimziernick, says cloud storage technology does not apply to tier two and module data storage. Clearly, users do not have to migrate their data completely to the cloud storage in pursuit of new technology concepts. A common application now is that users can create a copy of the backup data, stored on the cloud, which is an archive.

The public cloud business is very different from the private cloud. Private cloud considerations for data security are more focused on external attacks and internal leaks, while at the business level it is more important to ensure the performance and efficiency of the application. At present, companies in the industry for private cloud implementation, although different, but they focus on a point is the same, that is the application of on-demand supply and centralized provisioning. Hewlett-Packard's recent release of the Cloudstart is actually the same concept, that is, centralized processing applications. For the majority of users, demand application is the key. For most users, there is no need to have a relationship with cloud storage, after all, data migration is risky, and cloud storage is not as reliable as it might seem. For individual users, more still like the public free sex, but envy private security.

This is also one of the applications we are very concerned about is the application of cloud storage for mobile phones. We have seen many handset manufacturers start their own cloud computing applications. However, the application of cloud computing, mainly to deal with the more common two problems: for example, when we change the mobile phone, we will encounter the export of information problems. Some friends will choose the original method that is saved to the SIM card, but if the contact person a lot of words is quite troublesome, must guide many times; some friends may choose a more convenient way to export the import through the computer, but if you have to have a computer, and at hand, In addition, there are some cumbersome transformations in the mobile phone system. If you accidentally lost or stolen your own cell phone, there are contacts and important information on your phone. After all, concerns about privacy and security often become the focus of our anxieties. So how can you minimize the loss of your phone?

The way to solve these two problems involves cloud storage. When you need to export and import contacts, no longer need to use the SIM card again and again, and do not need to sit in front of the computer and computer connection, as long as there is a mobile network or wireless network, the phone directly to the contact to save the server on the cloud, and then just on the new mobile phone in the cloud to download contact people on it If the phone is lost or stolen, through the cloud storage can use another terminal remote control of the phone, so we can remotely erase the records on the phone, and even now some services can be located through the cloud technology to the location of the phone. In addition to mobile phones, when we go out, sometimes need some resources of the remote call, if stored in the cloud server, the call is very convenient, but also save a lot of space, if you still need to take a large mobile hard drive, or must carry a notebook out, this is another aspect, But if only temporary extraction and application, then even if not to take these devices, can also be stored through the cloud to obtain their own data and resources, which is precisely the advantages of cloud storage. Of course, for the enterprise, is another category. In any case, cloud storage has brought us a new paradigm for the storage era, which is certainly going to be a widespread application in the future.
