The advent of cloud computing has many people thinking of it as a completely new technology, but the reality is that it has been around for years and has only begun to gain relatively rapid growth in the last few years.
Cloud computing features
Low cost: cloud computing converts construction costs into operational costs, enabling users to enjoy a wide range of IT applications and services without the need to purchase facilities for peak operations, and without the need for substantial hardware and software acquisition and maintenance costs.
Flexibility: cloud computing allows you to quickly and flexibly build your infrastructure and expand IT resources as needed. Cloud computing gives users the flexibility to use IT resources in the short term (for example, to buy processors by the hour or storage by the day). When these resources are no longer needed; Users can easily release these resources.
Measurability: cloud computing has the ability to measure IT resources, which can monitor, control and optimize the use of resources, making IT systems more convenient, more intelligent and more measurable.
Cloud computing technology application in security field
Cloud computing is a data-centric supercomputing method, which is characterized by virtualization of data computing, data storage, data application and related hardware and software resources, clustering, parallel computing, and then feedback the results to users. Achieve the key technology of cloud computing need mainly include "virtualization technology", "mass data storage technology" and "huge amounts of data management technology" and "cloud platform management technology" on its, with this technology, it can be all data resources, software resources, hardware resources architecture in calculation on the far side of the cloud, the user simply through the client can enjoy all kinds of cloud services. These key technologies of cloud computing are very important for any application. To the security industry, how to apply cloud computing, play the benefits of cloud computing, the key is not to in-depth study these technologies, the most important is to study how to combine the business characteristics of the security industry, from the perspective of security, better use of these technologies, for security business management and application to provide better services.
At present, the cloud storage technology is the hot spot of each storage equipment manufacturer. The core of cloud storage is the combination of application software and storage device to realize the transformation from storage device to storage service through application software. This has the massive image information, needs the huge storage capacity security video surveillance field has the very great temptation. Then for security cloud storage with massive video image information resources, manufacturers should not only pay attention to the technology of cloud storage itself, but also according to the characteristics of security video storage; By combining cloud storage with intelligent technology, video intelligent analysis technology and artificial intelligence technology are used to extract the features of monitoring objects and carry out intelligent cloud storage, so as to facilitate security users to realize efficient utilization of stored images.
In addition, the adoption of virtualization technology, huge amounts of data management technology and cloud computing platform management technology is widely used in safe city city video surveillance management platform in the cloud, security monitoring system from the existing "multi-stage distributed deployment mode" to "thin client + data center pattern" evolution, will is the direction of the industry should pay attention to.
Cloud computing as an emerging field, its dominant or monopoly has yet to appear, many well-known IT companies to release their own cloud computing strategy, greatly increased its investment in the field of cloud computing, with cloud computing brings the change of product development model, to promote the application of cloud computing, in order to occupy a good position in the future information industry development pattern. In such a huge market trend, how should security enterprises face it? Here are some Suggestions:
1. Pay close attention and plan ahead
Because security is from the previous small security, small audience industry development to become the current security and big audience industry, security and other industries more and more closely, the success of the construction of safe city will further encourage security technology towards a wider field of digital city and wisdom city, so the effect of cloud computing in security industry will inevitably come. In this environment, security companies cannot flush car chase, should focus on cloud computing maintain and strengthen the related technical research, industrial policy and the user demand, and formulated in advance to adapt to the enterprise strategic program of the exhibition, in the tide of this round of business clearly positioning, and the development direction and goals, to calm the ambition to cope with the coming of industry transformation and market opportunities.
2. Upgrade products and seize the market
Companies with conditions should deeply explore the needs of customers, combine their own advantages, and use new technologies such as cloud computing to upgrade and transform products and solutions in their own advantageous fields, so as to form new products and solutions based on cloud computing technology for new businesses. In the process; Enterprises should try not to aim too high to blindly try their unfamiliar fields, but should make full use of the advantages of their own products and business direction, on this basis to complete the improvement of products and services. For example, security software platform developers can enhance their platform software's functions in virtualization, distributed storage, parallel processing and data management according to the distributed computing characteristics of cloud computing. Secondly, the research on middleware technology should be strengthened so as to realize the smooth transition from the original system to the cloud platform. In addition, in the cloud computing environment, security software platform in addition to meet the system's high security and reliability requirements; It is also able to provide a large number of users to support the service capacity to support the large-scale application of video.
Around in an expanding market, the security companies should seize the government vigorously construction of cloud computing center, cloud services, such as pilot project opportunities, strive to join the related demonstration project, the construction of the pilot project, through the part of the construction of the pilot project, master the user requirements, training team, lost in the cloud computing applications tide machine.
As an emerging internet-centered high-end networked computing technology, cloud computing requires very professional companies to carry out research on core technologies and research and development of basic products. Security enterprises cannot and do not need to participate in the competition of technologies and products in the core field of cloud computing. On the other hand; When professional cloud computing companies are building cloud computing platforms for users, they will also meet a lot of demands from customers in security video, which cannot be solved by professional cloud computing companies. Therefore, security enterprises can cooperate with professional cloud computing companies to complement each other and achieve win-win results.
