Symantec China Cloud Computing Center is expected to settle in Chengdu

After the research and Development Center and the Security Response center settled in Chengdu, global information security and storage field giant Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/10188.html "> Symantec is positioning its China cloud computing Center in Chengdu. Yesterday, Symantec in Chengdu released its latest data protection strategy, Symantec Huaxi District general manager Zhang Gianwen said, is currently with the relevant government departments and operators to negotiate, "the specific situation is not yet disclosed, but Chengdu's emphasis on cloud computing, as well as Chengdu's talent advantages, we are very important to Chengdu." The "

Information explosion" triggers a large number of storage requirements

"Big Bang" for personal information, which brings huge storage requirements to everyone. Zhang said that with the gradual network and virtualization of People's life, people's demand for storage space is getting larger and bigger. "Previous mobile phone photos, the size of each photo may be only hundreds of k; now the cell phone pixel is getting higher, with the iphone to take pictures, each picture size is about 2M." Over and over, perhaps many people will find that they only store photos, you need dozens of G space. "Zhang said, this is only a small part of the personal mail, contacts, chat records, or download their own music, movies, games and so on, all require a lot of space to store," in order to prevent the hard disk failure caused by the loss of their own important information, you need to backup this information, Then the storage space needs to double. "

The same is true for individual users, and the cost of data storage is increasing for businesses. According to Zhang, the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake occurred, more and more government departments and enterprises are aware of the importance of "disaster preparedness" in advance of their company's important financial data, customer information, such as backup, which also put forward higher requirements for data storage. Taking the industrial and commercial system as an example, we set up for them disaster preparedness system, the province will be the city of the provincial and commercial registration information and other important data to the center of Chengdu, and Chengdu disaster preparedness also carried out a backup, stored in different places, these important data for the "double insurance." "There is no doubt that these demands have greatly increased the demand for storage space by government departments and companies," he said.

Introducing cloud computing centers to reduce personal and SME costs

increased storage requirements will undoubtedly increase the cost of storage for both businesses and individuals. The storage of large amounts of data, for the enterprise, means the need to purchase specialized servers and software, as well as the corresponding data management personnel, for individuals, means the need to purchase a larger capacity of mobile storage devices.

"The current hottest cloud computing will significantly reduce the cost of storage for individuals and small businesses." "Zhang said that by buying the price phaseFor low cloud services, a relatively small number of people and small and medium-sized enterprises, can choose to store their important data in the cloud of the server, thereby eliminating their own purchase and maintenance of server costs, "We have launched a complete set of cloud storage security measures to ensure that the data stored in the cloud will not be illegal intrusion, Personal privacy concerns. "

Zhang Gianwen revealed that Symantec is currently actively in China to layout its own cloud computing center, of which Chengdu is one of the hottest cities in the city," We are now with the relevant government departments, operators to negotiate, which is Symantec's current focus. "Zhang said, although Beijing, Shanghai and so on are also Symantec's alternative cities, but they are very important to Chengdu," Symantec and Chengdu Cooperation is very happy, and Chengdu in the Cloud Computing Foundation is very good, has been with many large manufacturers have cooperated, and Chengdu in the talent reserves are also very rich, These are attractive to us.
