We should pay attention to cloud backup

Cloud computing has changed the age of our internet, and its main product, cloud storage, has revolutionized the way we store files and uses the best security for most established cloud storage vendors And encryption technology, but in this case, although we ensure the safety of our own files, but we forgot our original idea. But fortunately cloud storage frees us from worries. With cloud storage, we do not have to worry about malicious intrusion into our systems, but there is a need in the cloud for us to observe the practice of ensuring data security. If you are already using online storage or have already planned to move your digital brochures online, here are some tips to help prevent data loss or unauthorized access to your files.

Backblaze, an online storage company, conducted a survey that looked at some of the issues that are hidden in big data, storage and security today and in the future. How about the future of online backup? Now what kind of drama is staged on the line?

Internet users in 2016 will reach 3.4 billion

According to the survey, there are 2.4 billion Internet users worldwide, 6.34 billion websites, and 90% of the global data in two years is generated by the online network. It is estimated that by 2016, 45% of the global population will have access to the Internet, which means that by 2016, the number of users on the global network will reach 3.4 billion. And in 2011, on average, each user generated 12GB of traffic per month; by 2016, that figure will increase by more than 1.5 times to 32GB. Such a large user base, so much use, will produce what a huge amount of data?

Where is the big data road?

In 2011, Internet users created 1.8ZB of data, and this year will have to create 2.7ZB of data. By 2015, 68% of the global data will be generated by online consumer users. Predicted that in 2016, the monthly IP traffic sent will be 110 bytes. 55% of the IP traffic is consumed by the network. Such a huge amount of data, so that enterprises in the face of storage, a headache.

Cloud Storage Status Today

While only 7% of user content is stored in the cloud in 2011, it will be five times as large by 2016 and users will have 36% of the content stored in the cloud. The cloud storage service users in 2012 with 4 billion. In 2016, on average, each household will have seven times more storage, up from 3.3TB in 2011 to 464GB, and each family will have 1.2TB in 2016 cloud storage. By then, as the direct cloud model will become more mainstream, users will be reduced to 64% using locally stored users.

However, in addition to the fiery cloud computing, there is another noteworthy technology --- mobile. 35% of the population in the United States now have their own smartphones and there are 1 billion smartphones in the world. In the year, the loss caused by the loss of cell phones in the United States was 30 billion U.S. dollars. Faced with such a huge loss, have caused business, personal attention.

Mobile cloud computing

Now cloud computing and smart phone technology combined has become a mobile cloud computing. Today, 72% of the population uses their cell phones for daily backup activities, and 84% of them use cloud or cloud-based viable services in their applications. Survey and analysis, as of the end of 2013, cloud-based mobile market revenue will reach 29.5 billion US dollars.

This shows the importance of the network, very unusual, once we left the network, is no longer online backup, then how?

Do not use the risk of online data backup

There are still 35% of computer users, never back up jobs, and every day to do the backup only 10% of people only. Even if the backup, most people are still only backup locally, 93% of people make a local backup. According to statistics, 48% of enterprises suffered data loss during the year; 46% of individuals also suffered the pain.

Repair and data recovery costs how?

Large amounts of data lost, but also caused the loss of property and businesses and individuals, not only caused by the loss of data itself, as well as the cost of late repair and maintenance.

Mobile data recovery: more than 500 US dollars;

Software and user issues: over $ 1,800;

RAID configuration and server problems: more than 1800 US dollars;

Physical hardware problem: more than 1800 US dollars.

These problems, the business may be aware of, but not a good coping plan. 56% of people in the United States alone have no plan for disaster recovery, and relatively few in Europe, 30%. This has resulted in annual losses of $ 26.5 billion due to IT downtime.

The dawn of big data is coming, leveraging cloud technologies and other innovative IT solutions that will ease the loss of lost important files!
