Cloud computing is to virtualize servers to form a virtual resource pool, which is more resource efficient and easier to manage than previous physical machines. Cloud computing is the concept of computing, storage, and network resource combination. The search engines, mailboxes and online disks used daily are all very standard cloud applications, and most of them are free. Cloud computing is an upgrade of the Internet, which means that the Internet is not just storing data, it provides you with some services. Cloud storage, cloud services, cloud platforms, etc. are all different forms of combining cloud in the network through a bunch of machines, and are sub concepts under the cloud. So today, Micronet will explain to you what ECS is and what it can bring us based on the concept of ECS.
First, let's learn about cloud computing In recent years, due to the development of the Internet, cloud services and applications have become more and more complex, requiring more user support, stronger computing power, more stable security, and so on. Using traditional methods such as IT operation and maintenance departments with more complete configurations will cost a lot of energy and financial resources. For large companies, the demand is still difficult to meet. For small and medium-sized enterprises, even individual entrepreneurs, the operating cost of developing software products is even more unbearable. And the emergence of "cloud computing" can perfectly solve this problem in the future.
After being deployed to the cloud, you don't have to worry about the software and hardware problems that make you headache, and these problems will be solved by the professional team of the cloud service provider. By using shared hardware, you can use software updates just by purchasing this cloud service, and the on-demand expansion of resources can be completed automatically. Cloud has the characteristics of large-scale distribution, virtualization, high availability and scalability, more economical and more secure on-demand services.
Cloud computing services and platforms
The cloud transforms our traditional IT work into a web-based cloud platform to run. Cloud service is to publish products and services on this cloud platform for users to use. It is generally believed that the cloud computing platform has N servers and a storage device. These servers and storage devices are integrated into a storage service platform using information technology, and services are provided to the outside through leasing.
Generally speaking, cloud service refers to obtaining required services through the network in an on-demand and easy to expand way. In short, cloud services can put the software and hardware materials needed by enterprises on the network, and use different IT equipment to connect with each other at any time and anywhere to achieve data access and operation.
Two main forms of cloud services: public cloud and private cloud
Public Cloud): SaaS, PaaS and IaaS
Public cloud is a basic service with low cost, which means that multiple users can share the system resources of the same service provider, and can enjoy professional IT services without installing any equipment and deploying management personnel. This is undoubtedly a good way for small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce costs.
Private Cloud): Although the cost of public cloud is very low, large enterprises (such as finance and insurance) cannot store important data in the public network in order to take into account the privacy of the industry and customers, so they often establish private cloud networks. The operation form of private cloud is similar to that of public cloud. However, building a private cloud is a huge investment. Enterprises need to design their own data centers, networks, and storage devices, as well as a professional consultant team. The business management department must fully consider the necessity of using the private cloud and whether there are enough resources to ensure the normal operation of the private cloud.
cloud storage
Officially defined cloud storage is a cloud computing system with data storage and management as its core.
In other words, a large number of different types of storage devices in the network are gathered together through functions such as cluster applications, grid technology or distributed library centralized monitoring system component system, and the application software works together to jointly provide external data storage and business access functions. The horizontal expansion mode of cloud computing storage device enables the storage system to have unlimited expansion capability, and can realize the simultaneous expansion of controller and hard disk, that is, the linear expansion of performance and capacity can be realized at the same time. Cloud computing storage can generally be divided into private cloud storage and public cloud storage.
In the cloud storage mode, resources and data from the private network are connected and put into the public cloud service provider's shared public network. On the one hand, these data create unlimited value, but on the other hand, once a cloud computing platform discloses the user's data privacy, or due to device failure, data is lost in the cloud storage process, or data is arbitrarily tampered with by other users in the transmission process, the consequences will be incalculable. Therefore, in the cloud era, these issues are also worthy of attention.
