The Olympics unveil the mysteries of cloud computing

The

London Olympic Games left us with good memories, thanks to the Olympic athletes to bring us every wonderful moment. The Olympic Games have been a hot topic in people's Street. Compared with the Olympic Games, the "cloud computing", which has received much attention, has not been so treated, and there is not much understanding of cloud computing, and many people feel that cloud computing seems to be far away from themselves. In fact, cloud computing is not difficult to understand, it and the Olympic Games have a lot of similar characteristics, today let small weave to join with everyone through the Olympic Games to a close contact with the cloud.

Ultra-large, mass-storage

The London Olympics has received worldwide attention, focusing on the eyes of billions of of people, this is a world-wide event, a huge scale. Cloud computing also has this huge feature. From the number of servers, Google Cloud computing already has more than 1 million servers, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft and so on have hundreds of thousands of servers. In the corporate private cloud, there are also hundreds of thousands of servers. In addition, cloud computing can provide users with massive storage and large resources. Cloud computing has a huge computational capacity that is unmatched by any of the previous technology models.

Virtualization Technology, let services do what you want

when we are searching for Olympic information, we don't care whether it comes from television, the internet, newspapers or magazines, and whatever the channel, it will suffice for us to know the Olympic Games.

is also true for cloud computing users. Cloud computing uses virtualization technology to support users in any location, use any terminal to obtain the desired application services, which is consistent with the understanding of the Olympic information needs. Users only need to use terminal equipment such as notebook or mobile phone as a carrier, can be from the cloud computing network to get the resources and services they want, regardless of where the resources come from, this way for users to bring great convenience.

Service on demand, cost savings

The other similarity between the games and cloud computing is that users can only pay for the services they enjoy. The understanding of this characteristic, we use the domestic well-known cloud storage manufacturers Chuzhi technology Vice President Wang words to explain, "viewers buy tickets to watch the game, just like users in the cloud of the vast pool of resources to buy the required services, pay on demand, this model for the enterprise to save huge costs."

On-demand service, cost savings "is a very prominent feature of cloud computing, but also the most attractive to users." Users through cloud computing management, scheduling and integration of various resources distributed on the network, to a unified interface for a large number of users to provide services. For example, with cloud computing, a user's application can handle terabytes or even petabytes of information in a very short time, achieving as powerful a performance as a supercomputer. Enterprise users do not have to bear the increasingly high cost of data center management, it can make the utilization of resources than the traditional system significantly increased, even if the cost of hundreds of yuan, a few days to complete the previous needs of tens of thousands of yuan, a few months to complete the task.

Through the Olympics, to help us simplify the seemingly incomprehensible cloud computing, do we have a clearer understanding of cloud computing? Cloud computing itself has a very prominent characteristics, these features have been in practical use for many enterprises have brought great help. I believe that with the continuous expansion of the cloud computing market and the popularization of technology, we will also have more in-depth understanding of cloud computing.
