Cloud technology or leading the future

"The 12th Five-Year Plan for Development of China's Security Industry" clearly plans the development direction of China's security industry in the next five years. By the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, China’s security industry will double in size, with an annual growth rate of about 20%. In 2015, the total output value will reach 500 billion yuan, the added value will be 160 billion yuan, and the annual export delivery value will reach 60 billion yuan. So, what are the changes in the security industry brought about by cloud computing? What are the future development prospects?

Cloud Computing Brings Changes in the Security Industry With the active promotion of governments and enterprises, the construction of China's cloud computing industry ecosystem is accelerating, attracting a lot of capital and resources, and a large number of cloud computing centers and cloud computing projects are springing up. It seems that everything has been enveloped in the cloud of the world. However, when we were fast-moving, the industries did not even think about it calmly. What could it bring us?

In a fundamental sense, cloud computing is an Internet-based computing (service) model in which resources are shared in a virtualized manner. Through the centralized deployment and decentralized use of resources and applications, low-cost and personalized information services can be realized. As far as the security industry is concerned, under the current trend of multi-tier, large-scale mass data storage, cloud computing is just right. Through cloud computing, intelligent analysis can be performed in the back-end by launching idle nodes in the network, so as to return more intelligent work returns with smaller equipment inputs. Through cloud storage, the traditional storage mode can break the shackles imposed on the storage work, enable various types of storage devices in the network to be effectively combined, and reduce the user's large investment in monitoring storage devices and reduce The company spends money on security management, and can better share resources, improve the efficiency of data transmission and security capabilities.

The integration of security resources through cloud technology and the provision of services to users, this technology architecture and business model is the subversion of the traditional monitoring model. We believe that based on the social division of labor, there should be a group of backbone companies providing basic cloud computing and services, but more companies should provide their own service products based on such platforms. Just as telecom companies offer broadband, other companies offer Internet products based on this. The cloud computing security industry application model is gradually on the right track. This article will explain the changes in security applications brought about by cloud computing from the video surveillance, smart home, and intelligent transportation areas.

Cloud services become the next new trend Although HD and smart are the current competitive hot spots, who will lead the next generation of technological innovation in the long run? "The first step of our company's plan is to do cloud products and support cloud functions; the second step will be to do cloud solution products; the third step is to do cloud services, and it is expected that each step will take 2-3 years. "Li Tong, director of marketing of Tongfang Cloud Computing Co., Ltd., which is part of Tongfang, revealed that the company's products are positioned on the Internet in high definition.

The president of Hikvision, Hu Yangzhong, said that the scale of integrators will expand in the future, and some large-scale integrated enterprises with annual revenues of 2 to 5 billion will appear. Data service companies will become companies that will become an important market player in the market. .

After the front-end security and intelligence in the security industry, the next round of technological innovation will come from the back-end and platform. With the rapid growth of unstructured data, big data and cloud computing have imposed higher requirements on the research and development capabilities of the back-end. For example, massive data storage, query, node load balancing, and backup disaster recovery are urgent problems to be solved.

Application prospects of cloud storage in the security field The construction of smart cities and smart cities has prompted the application of security cloud storage technologies. Smart cities have proposed that one of their requirements is to link and share video storage data with each other, for example, during crime tracking. Public security, transportation, and civilian industries can share a wide range of storage data, and this sharing has the characteristics of cloud storage; traditional storage technologies cannot meet the needs of social development, and the application of cloud storage in the security field becomes inevitable.

At present, several safe cities in China have already made attempts. In the future, the exemplary role of the pilot will be based on the large-scale application of smart cities to gather people's strengths and promote the improvement of relevant application standards. It is believed that cloud storage can be promoted more quickly in the security field. application.

In terms of current application requirements, some industry users, such as oil, coal mines, gold mines, etc., need to aggregate all the data together for analysis and processing. This kind of demand can create private clouds; while some users want to build the entire monitoring system, Do not want to spend too much effort, but also hope that all the data of the entire city can be shared, in the event of accidents can be timely and linkage, this can take a shared cloud approach. If these application modes are widely used, they will have a major impact on traditional security engineering companies and integrators.

In the future, through cloud storage, more and more IT industry technologies and concepts will be introduced into security. The traditional security will encounter more and more challenges. Even industry insiders anticipate that the security industry will gradually be assimilated by IT. The promotion of cloud storage technology in the security field also has conditional limitations. As the main branch of video surveillance in the security field, the amount of data consumed by broadband is very large. At present, there are no data center conditions, and cloud storage is in the security field. Applications will also take a long road, but with the current Internet development, the prospects for cloud security will be better.

Conclusion:

From the "cloud" of the Internet, grafted into the "cloud" of the security field, "cloud security" can be described as an imported product. In the current market where security storage technologies are diversified, cloud storage technologies currently remain on the demand and concept hype, and it is a long way to go before they actually put a large area into application and take a place on the market. However, the smart city construction and the construction of the Internet of Things can predict the future of cloud storage technology, and the application in the field of security will have a brighter future.
