Video communications High-profile "Cloud", the user's gorgeous dizzy

In the current field of video communications, "cloud-related" has become a fashion, many of the video manufacturers are "cloud" lead. It is true that cloud video conferencing has the advantage of convenience, mass data storage and other advantages fully cater to the growing demand for video communications, is the inevitable trend of industry development. However, for ordinary users, the current cloud video conferencing is really "stroll cloud", can only hear not visual. The face of many manufacturers of cloud theory, in the end is a bit of real, a bit unreal, the user is just a blank.

All along, the field of video communications is a play to the concept of the industry, "High-definition", "network really" and so have the industry-led concept emerges. From the perspective of the overall development of the industry, the industry-leading concept not only sets clear goals for the development of the industry, but also promotes the maturity of the industry's technology, and the focus of the industry trends is more conducive to the general public's understanding of the industry. Most ordinary users do not have much professional knowledge, the understanding of the new technology is mostly through the manufacturer's publicity, which in the "HD", "net truth" of the popularization stage is not difficult, after all, can be confirmed by their own eyes, and has the corresponding standard norms. However, for the first "popular" cloud computing, due to the lack of certain standards, so that the general public to understand it is not so easy.

In fact, not only the field of video communications, many areas of cloud computing applications have been questioned, such as a variety of cloud mobile phone users think flashy, most of the concept, Cloud TV is regarded as "thousand Taiwan Side", no outstanding features. While the industry is widely used to sing the praises of cloud computing applications, many applications of cloud computing are being sung by users. Some experts believe that the application of cloud computing has been put into practice is not recognized by people, in addition to its own technology is not mature, blindly follow the follow is also one of the important reasons. As in the field of video communications, many manufacturers of high-profile "cloud-related" is just a parrot, investment market, do enough to show Kung Fu, did not play the real strength of cloud computing.

In the author's opinion, cloud computing is essentially a service, especially for the field of video communications, it is "behind the scenes hero", its role is to help users achieve a more perfect experience, and not as "high-definition", "net real" and so on, will be directly presented in front of the outstanding. So for now, if a vendor wants to simply use cloud computing as a gimmick, users won't be buying it.

If the Microsoft, IBM and other IT giants to promote the popularity of cloud computing concept, then the video communications manufacturers can only seize the pulse of market development to not be eliminated. At present, video communication manufacturers from simple products to the "Product + services" of the integrated manufacturer of the transformation has become inevitable, and the rise of cloud computing is bound to accelerate this change. In the future, the advantages and disadvantages of cloud service system based on cloud computing will become an important standard for users to judge the service of vendors. However, in the current technology immature conditions, only the use of cloud computing, is not a sensible way, will eventually become a cloud.
