Some understanding of cloud operating system

The recent term "cloud computing" has become a hot buzzword today! As a result, many people say that this is a "cloud computing" a way of speculation, but also some people are against the attitude that this is the trend of future development. Now let's take a look at some of the cloud computing.

What is cloud computing?

What is cloud computing, this simple and complex, to answer this question, must first know: In the computer, only the program and data points. Thus, a simple overview of cloud computing on the unified deployment of the program, unified storage and by the relevant program unified management of the data! This "unification" reflects the "centralized" consistency of this unified deployment, the benefits are many, the "Cloud Computing Center" of the IT enterprise can focus on providing users with the basic "cloud storage", "cloud computing" services. Companies must have in-depth research in the field of cloud computing, as well as authority (like the bank that now saves money), so that they can better manage the user's data better, more secure, and provide users with "management cloud data" of "cloud application." In this way, the cloud computing environment provided by enterprises, that is, the user's "cloud computing Services" environment, will profoundly affect the user's network behavior habits, and even affect and determine the user's consumption. The Foundation cloud computing service provider, will be the future "Microsoft" type of enterprise. They will determine the future it form.

Second, cloud storage

From the point of view of the Internet, cloud storage is dependent on "cloud computing". That is, the word "cloud" appears, the concept of "cloud storage". In general, "cloud storage" is the unified storage of user data in the "Cloud Computing Center" or "cloud storage Center", the storage Center provides data storage, loading, maintenance of related applications (services). The main character here is "user data." In comparison: Cloud computing is more broadly defined.

Iii. Cloud Operating system

Cloud operating systems, using cloud computing, cloud storage technology as the support of the operating system.

Cloud operating system is divided into two categories, one is: terminal-type Cloud operating system (this mainstream), another category: service-side operating systems.

The reason that the terminal type Cloud operating system occupies the mainstream, is because the user contacts is "the terminal type Cloud operating system". Typical representatives are: Google Chrome OS, and Microsoft's Azure.

For the terminal type of cloud operating system, can be subdivided. If Chrome OS is a "lightweight operating system," its ultimate idea is to use browsers as the entry point for cloud computing. Thus, this operating system provides only one Web browser interface. Through the browser, users can use the services provided by the Web application above (cloud computing services).

Microsoft's Azure is a heavyweight cloud operating system. Because it does not completely abandon the existing PC terminals in the context of local application services, the provision of cloud computing access services. That is to say: A heavyweight cloud operating system that provides for local resources (data, applications, and the use of "cloud services" access points, this access point may not only be a Web browser entry point, it will provide more access points, so that users of the smooth use of "cloud computing services" without feeling strange.
