What cloud computing will bring to us

"Cloud computing" is a fashion, and difficult to understand the concept, it is not a technology, nor is it a theory, but a business, the embodiment of the mode of life.

At this stage of computer development, "computing" is more convenient than "data". "Data" is becoming bloated, imagine the cost of replicating 1PiB (1PiB = http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/12560.html ">1024tib") data, and the cost of storing that data. For example, a simple search request, relying on a very large computer background index database, after the search out, people need information is very small. The goal of cloud computing is to get the database online. "Cloud" is the network, the network is the computer. The core idea of cloud computing is to manage and dispatch a large amount of computing resources with network connections, to form a "computing resource pool" to provide services to users, while the network providing resources is called "cloud".

Data storage is the most convenient for cloud computing

Apple's mobile OS, which includes online storage cloud services. When the user to charge the mobile phone, the user's documents, purchased music, applications, photo albums and system settings will automatically be backed up by the cloud, and then pushed to the user terminal equipment. On the one hand can keep the file in the Cloud Computing center, on the other hand, with automatic synchronization function, save the trouble of downloading to the local device. After using cloud storage, users can obtain almost unlimited storage space from the data center, without worrying about the exhaustion of local resources, from the technical point of view, storage capacity can be magnified indefinitely.

Application software Update automatically

Cloud services in the temporary dew, but has become the IT industry boss in the software on the battleground. Many Alibaba-like "Aliyun" system platform is also gradually established, for the end customers with a variety of cloud services (such as maps, e-mail, etc.), users do not need to download the installation software, you can instantly enjoy Internet services. Today's smartphone, if there is a period of time without updating the software, will stay in the past, and the future of smartphones, each time the opening is new.

In short, in the cloud service platform, almost all the problems on the client terminal can be solved through the browser. Your data, your applications, your processes, will remain in all places and can be accessed as needed. The network has moved from the data center to the cloud. Each user has a potential supercomputer on their hands. As long as you can access the network and have a device connected to the network, you can access your data from any location at any time.

In the future, we will enter a more "cloud" era. Cloud computing will provide customers with flexible, safe and efficient computing capabilities, thus forming a new mainstream technology trend.
