Sheng to the loss of user data the road to domestic cloud computing is still very long

August 6, Sheng was damaged by a physical disk, causing user data loss. After the incident, Sheng issued a statement on his official microblog. The following figure:

In the statement, Sheng expressed his apology to the user. But also caused by netizens and industry professionals questioned. Have Netizen Blunt, Sheng host like is 5 years ago already eliminated host virtualization technology. Some netizens also pointed out that physical disk damage is unavoidable, but the service providers know that it is difficult to avoid also caused accidental losses, the blame. In general, the voice of doubt mainly focuses on "in order to avoid your accidental loss, we recommend that you do the data backup outside the cloud host."

ZDNet Server Channel Editor Meng commented, "You are not professional, the back end incredibly with a single hard disk to a single virtual machine solution, but to solve the I/O bottleneck, but even the array did not do, backup can not talk about." Such virtual machine disk reliability is almost zero, physical machine damage is unavoidable, but the service providers know that it is difficult to avoid also caused by accidental losses, the blame. It is also recommended to do backup outside the cloud mainframe, and that's what you do with your service. ”

Sheng said that Sheng adopted the international leading AWS model, to provide customers with cloud hard disk and cloud storage products, the use of a highly reliable structure, the price is excellent and inexpensive. At the same time in the official website and user consoles have eye-catching reminders, we recommend that users use cloud hard disk and cloud storage, with the use of cloud host to protect data security.

This morning, Sheng official Weibo again issued a statement: August 6, Sheng due to a physical disk damage incident, aroused everyone's response, we are concerned about the Sheng of all users express deep thanks! To maximize the likelihood of avoiding the same problem, we will provide permanent free 15G cloud hard drives to all cloud host users. The cloud drives use a highly reliable storage architecture, with multiple redundancy in the background to ensure data security. Thank you for accompanying Sheng, the growth of China's cloud computing. The following figure:

Domestic cloud computing is a long way off.

In recent years, with the rapid development of cloud computing, the concept of cloud host is also gradually hot up. Many traditional and next-generation data center cloud service providers are playing cloud concept for product sales, and strongly publicize the convenience of cloud services, reliable and safe. But security issues seem to have been accompanied by the evolution of cloud computing. Over the past few years, cloud services have been "interrupted" by companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft, the leading cloud-computing technology.

And this Sheng host incident actually also to the domestic cloud computing manufacturers sounded the alarm: as a cloud computing platform, in the product design should focus on data security issues, and anticipate the emergence of problems, and the user to focus on the description.

In fact, public concern about cloud computing security is not unreasonable, but not too pessimistic. Some experts said that there is a fear of domestic and foreign markets for cloud host understanding differences. The development time of foreign cloud computing is long, the market is also relatively mature, the user can accept oneself backup more, or use EBS to backup. And the domestic cloud computing just started, whether platform or market, have a long way to go.
