The four benefits of cloud computing

1. Safe. Cloud computing provides the most reliable and secure data storage center, so users no longer have to worry about data loss, virus intrusion and so on.

Many people think that data is only safest in a computer that you can see and feel, but it is not. Your computer may be damaged by accident or by a virus, causing the data on the hard drive to be unrecoverable, and the criminals who have access to your computer may use various opportunities to steal your data. The sensational "Yan Zhao Men" incident was reported to have not caused personal data leakage due to computer repairs.

Conversely, when your documents are stored on a web service like Google Docs, when you upload your photos to a web album like Google Picasa Web, you no longer have to worry about data loss or corruption. Because at the other end of the "cloud," the world's most professional team to help you manage information, there are the world's most advanced data centers to help you save data. At the same time, a strict rights management strategy can help you confidently share data with the people you specify. In this way, you can enjoy the best and safest service without spending money, even more convenient than saving money in the bank.

2, convenient. Cloud computing has the lowest requirements on the user side of the device and is the most convenient to use.

Everyone has had the experience of maintaining a wide variety of applications on personal computers. In order to use some of the latest operating systems, or to use the latest version of a software, we must constantly upgrade our computer hardware. In order to open a document in a format sent by a friend, we had to frantically search for and download an application.

In order to prevent the introduction of viruses during download, we have to repeatedly install anti-virus and firewall software. All these troubles add up to a nightmare for a newcomer who is new to the computer and just new to the Internet! If you can't stand this computer experience anymore, cloud computing may be your best choice. You only need to have a computer with internet access and a browser you like. All you have to do is type the URL in your browser and enjoy the fun of cloud computing.

You can directly edit the documents stored on the other side of the "cloud" in the browser, you can share information with friends at any time, no longer have to worry about whether your software is the latest version, no longer need to virus for software or documents. worry. Because at the other end of the "cloud", there are professional IT staff to help you maintain the hardware, help you install and upgrade the software, help you prevent viruses and various types of network attacks, and help you do everything you have done on your personal computer.

3. Data sharing. Cloud computing makes it easy to share data and applications across devices.

You may wish to recall how your own contact information is saved. One of the most common situations is that you have hundreds of contacts on your phone and hundreds of email addresses on your PC or laptop. In order to facilitate emailing during business trips, you have to periodically synchronize your contact information between your PC and your laptop. After buying a new phone, you have to sync the phone number between the old phone and the new phone.

That's right, there is your PDA and the computer in your office. Considering the wide variety of data synchronization methods for different devices, the complexity of the operation, to save and maintain the latest contact information between many different devices, you have to pay an unpredictable time and effort. At this point, you need to use cloud computing to make everything easier. In the cloud computing network application mode, only one copy of the data is stored on the other end of the "cloud". All your electronic devices only need to be connected to the Internet to access and use the same data at the same time.

Assume that you have left the cloud

Still taking the management of contact information as an example, when you use the web service to manage the information of all contacts, you can find the email address of a friend from any computer anywhere, on any mobile phone. You can directly dial a friend's phone number, or you can quickly share a contact's vCard to several friends. Of course, all of this is done under a strict security management mechanism. Only those who have access to the data can use or share this data with others.

4, unlimited possibilities. Cloud computing offers almost unlimited possibilities for us to use the web.

It provides almost unlimited space for storing and managing data, and it provides almost unlimited computing power for all kinds of applications. Imagine that when you travel by car, just use your mobile phone to connect to the network, you can directly see the satellite map and real-time traffic conditions in your area, you can quickly check your default driving route, you can ask friends on the network. Recommend the best nearby attractions and restaurants, quickly book a destination hotel, and share photos or video clips you just took with friends and family in the distance...

Leaving the cloud, we can't enjoy these conveniences simply by using a client application on a PC or mobile phone. Personal computers or other electronic devices are unlikely to provide unlimited storage and computing power, but at the other end of the cloud, a large cluster of thousands, tens of thousands, or more servers can easily do at this point. The capabilities of individuals and individual devices are limited, but the potential of cloud computing is almost limitless. When you put the most commonly used data and the most important functions on the "cloud", we believe that your understanding of computers, applications and even the Internet will change dramatically, and your life will change accordingly.

The spiritual essence of the Internet is freedom, equality and sharing. As a computing model that best reflects the spirit of the Internet, cloud computing will surely show strong vitality in the near future, and will change our work and life in many ways. Whether it is a normal network user or a corporate employee, whether it is an IT manager or a software developer, they can experience this change.
