Use the computer to enjoy the days of "cloud"

When the reporter interviewed at the high-tech fair on the scene yesterday, it was discovered that the high-tech fair has entered the era of many “clouds” and several well-known manufacturers have played the “cloud” concept card. This concept that makes many people feel fresh has begun to highlight a huge business opportunity.

The concept of cloud computing will break out of huge business opportunities into Hall 1. At the Lenovo Group's huge booth, the words “Cloud Life Times” are particularly eye-catching.

What is cloud computing"? Many people are unfamiliar. "In simple terms, all your data is placed on the server, and your computer host will become very small. At the same time, you can access your own stored data and information anywhere on the network." Yesterday, Yang Kaixiang, Lenovo Group's program engineer The reporter explained.

Cloud computing is viewed by its purveyors as a "revolutionary computing model" because it makes it possible for supercomputing capabilities to circulate freely through the Internet. Enterprises and individual users no longer need to invest in expensive hardware acquisition costs. They only need to purchase rental computing capacity over the Internet.

When the computer's computing power is not limited by the local hardware, smaller size, lighter weight, and more powerful mobile devices are at their fingertips. Users can run the most demanding online games on thin, light-weight notebooks, and they can edit and process their photos just by accessing Photoshop online on their mobile phones.

The reporter saw at Lenovo's cloud computing booth that, unlike the traditional computer host, the on-site computer host is only a book size, next to an ordinary computer host server.

"This server can replace 40 ordinary computers." Yang Kai told reporters for example, a company such as the purchase of a server, 40 employees of the general computer host can be eliminated, each computer host into a book size Each host's data is no longer stored on its own host as it was before. Instead, it is stored on this server. Everyone accesses their own data and data via the Internet.

What benefits does "cloud computing" bring? Yang Kai told reporters that, first of all, under cloud computing, because the mainframe is very small, energy consumption can be reduced by 90% compared to traditional computers, and there is no noise, and non-recyclable materials can also be reduced by 20%.

Second, cloud computing provides the most reliable and secure data storage center. Users no longer have to worry about data loss, virus intrusion, and other problems.

Third, cloud computing requires the lowest equipment requirements for users. Users no longer have to worry about whether the computer software is the latest version, companies do not need to invest in expensive hardware acquisition costs, because at the other end of the "cloud", there are professional IT personnel to help you maintain the hardware and upgrade software to help you prevent viruses and Various types of cyber attacks.

"The most important thing is that users can access their data anywhere, anytime." Yang Kai said that when he is on a business trip, as long as he has access to the Internet, he can use his account to access all the data and data of his own server.

"Once the concept of cloud computing is widely accepted, there will be huge business opportunities." Yang Kai said that Microsoft has 80% of R&D strengths in researching the concept of cloud computing. Lenovo also takes the concept of cloud as one of its key development strategies.

Many companies have launched their own "clouds"

The reporter found in Hall 1 that the manufacturing giant Foxconn also played the concept of “cloud computing” and even had “Cloud Lianyun Management Platform”. It is reported that Foxconn has set up an independent cloud business group specifically for "cloud computing", also known as "the Tianma business group".

"Foxconn has built a big platform through cloud computing." Yesterday, Ke Huaiyuan of the Foxconn Technology Group's sales management office told the reporter that, for example, as long as game manufacturers join the platform, they do not need to build a dedicated computer room or buy large stores. The hardware can release its own games so that the threshold and cost of game manufacturers will be greatly reduced.

In an interview yesterday, the reporter found that for the concept of cloud computing, many companies have also launched their own "cloud." For example, of the three major operators, China Mobile is launching a “big cloud” system. It hopes to build cloud computing infrastructure through key technology research and prototype system development to provide users with richer and more diverse mobile Internet services and service experiences, while satisfying companies. High-performance, low-cost, scalable, high-reliability IT computing and storage needs.

China Telecom’s “E Cloud” and EMC have joined hands. As a new generation of cloud storage services, China Telecom E Cloud System aims to establish a secure and reliable personal information bank. For example, E-Cloud online backup service provides a space, a private space that is safer, more convenient, faster, and cheaper than its own hard disk. China Unicom's "Internet Cloud" project is planned to create a comprehensive platform integrating hardware, software, networks, applications and services.

Users are generally worried about "cloud" security. Can visitors accept the concept of cloud? Yesterday, reporters randomly interviewed several visitors at the scene. Visitors expressed their complete understanding of cloud computing. One Mr. He is somewhat understanding of cloud computing, but he said it is still difficult to accept. "Let me put my personal data, photos, and videos on my server, I still don't trust, what if the person who manages the server leaks out my privacy?"

Yang Kai, a project engineer at Lenovo Group, admitted that this is a major obstacle to the promotion of cloud computing. He told reporters that cloud computing is in urgent need of national legislation in this area to protect everyone's privacy. He believes that users do not worry too much, such as the mailbox service, all of the user's data is actually stored in the background server of the email service provider. Many people think that data is only safe if it is stored in a computer that you can see and touch. It is not. Your computer may be damaged due to its carelessness or be attacked by a virus, causing the data on the hard disk to fail to recover. Hackers may use various opportunities to steal your data.

"Cloud computing has made a lot of considerations in terms of security, users do not have to worry too much." Yang Kai and other industry insiders said that because at the other end of the "cloud", there is the most professional team in the management of information, the most advanced data center save data. At the same time, strict rights management strategies can help users to share data with designated people with confidence.
