The strategic focus of global attention to support cloud computing in the big Data age

In recent years, cloud computing has realized the transformation of the application field, which causes many technology companies to compete for this market. Cloud computing originated in the United States, in 2007, Google and IBM began to promote the university campus based on cloud computing, large data Services, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Microsoft and other manufacturers have announced to join the cloud computing development ranks. In China, Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent and other enterprises to enter the field. As cloud technology penetrates into the business and data centers, traditional server vendors will change over the next 5 years.

Cloud computing definition: water droplets converge into clouds

The concept of cloud computing is proposed by US technology giant Google, which is widely recognised in the IT industry as proposed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology: The cloud computing model allows users to connect to a dynamically configurable pool of shared computing resources (including network devices, servers, storage, applications, and businesses) via the Internet. and the rapid distribution and release of these configurable computing resources can be realized with minimal management cost.

How does the concept of cloud computing come into being? The Global Times, a senior expert on cloud computing, says the cloud is made up of small water droplets, which combine to form a cloud by imagining each computer as a small water droplet. The cloud has another feature, that is, it is not closed, rain, we can see that the cloud is the same, we can share. Communications expert Xiang said that cloud computing is the integration of multiple computer servers, put these things in the cloud, with a unified system for computing, storage and management.

Many consumers are curious about where the data for applications such as cloud storage is stored, and by what media. Industry experts said that the last cloud storage data is still on the hard drive, but it does not belong to the individual, is in the developer's hard drive.

Multi-country cloud computing strategy

Japan ranks ahead in cloud computing application environment and technology. Japan's i-japan strategy, unveiled in 2009, explicitly proposes a nationwide large-scale cloud computing infrastructure, a massive cloud computing hub, and a cloud-based e-government. The Japanese government wants to use cloud computing, build a "National Personal electronic File box", so that all the people through the Internet, can manage their own identity information, and pay taxes, wages, administrative applications. In 2010, the Japanese government invested 50 billion yen (about 2.9 billion yuan) to build the "cloud computing Zone", which is expected to reach 2 trillion yen by 2015.

The German government is also planning to support cloud computing and large data technology research and development to finance start-ups, with the goal of becoming the European digital growth leader by 2017. Germany has already developed the cloud computing Action plan to strengthen the Internet infrastructure in Germany, build a high-speed network that covers the country and unify standards and protocols with other EU member countries, and provides support for cloud computing. At the same time, to promote cloud computing in small and medium-sized enterprises and the public sector wide application.

Cost savings for small and medium-sized enterprises

One of the main reasons for the multi-country-intensive cloud computing strategy is that it lowers the threshold of innovation and the cost of innovation, and operators can provide an Internet business development platform, where SMEs or individual developers can develop various internet businesses on the cloud computing platform to promote the development of SMEs. At the same time, cloud computing itself has significantly reduced IT infrastructure costs, so that the penetration of information from enterprises to individuals continues to deepen.

Thanks to cloud computing, Xiang says, small businesses can rent other people's space and computing power directly, reducing the cost of their own research and operations. Each company used to develop its own technology, the purchase of equipment is cumbersome and costly. Now with a complete cloud service system, enterprises no longer need to buy various models of equipment, and dedicated cloud service system to ensure that as little as possible problems.

Innovation in the age of large data

In China, it enterprises to enhance cloud analysis and cloud security, strengthen the database construction and other ways to promote cloud technology, the convening of a technical conference is also one way, according to reporters understand that Huawei since 2011 to host the cloud Computing conference. 2014 Huawei Cloud Computing Conference is mainly aimed at enterprises and operators of customer base, to help enterprises achieve in the new era of large Data Environment innovation and transformation, is the main aspect of this Conference. "For example, Internet finance has a big impact on traditional banking, so we can help traditional banks design and develop new cloud computing services and narrow the gap between them and internet companies," said a senior cloud computing expert at the Global Times.
