Smart home information technology "cloud" products

In recent years, "over the sky" of consumer electronics and information technology products has "floated a cloud." "Cloud Phone," "Cloud TV," "Cloud Antivirus," "Cloud Games," ... all kinds of products and services under the name "cloud concept" have dramatically increased. In just a few years, "cloud computing" has begun to affect people's lives, and has continued to penetrate into all aspects of life and work. Personal data is stored in a cloud disk, contacted by an application in the cloud disk, and managed by mobile phones and tablets. "Cloud computing" has gradually become the key technical support for most industry organizations.

The cloud-based computing infrastructure brings in more massive data and lays a foundation for solving these problems, and it will surely become the core driving force for smart home applications to become more intelligent. Combine all computing resources and storage resources that can be integrated through cloud computing to jointly process requests for global smart home business, and flexibly expand corresponding computing and storage resources through on-demand use, and integrate IoT resources as the smart home field. Important support platform. In the age of smart homes, cloud computing technology will become an important technical support for the development of smart homes.

System Support of Smart Home ---- Cloud Platform

In recent years, various products and services under the name of “cloud concept” have increased dramatically. However, various "cloud concept" products are dazzling at the same time, but it also makes consumers "unknown", then, "cloud concept" in the frequently mentioned "cloud" what is it?

What is "cloud"

"Cloud" is a metaphorical statement of the Internet and Internet industries. It is more common when designing network topology or network structure. In the past, the “cloud” was often used to refer to the telecommunications network. It was later used to represent the abstraction of the Internet and underlying infrastructure. The narrow sense of "cloud computing" refers to the interaction and usage patterns of IT infrastructure. It refers to obtaining the required resources through the network in an on-demand, easily-expanding manner. The broad sense of "cloud computing" refers to the interaction and usage patterns of services. Get the services you need, on-demand, easily scalable. This service can be IT and software, Internet-related, or other services. It means that computing power can also be circulated through the Internet as a commodity. Such as "cloud computing", "cloud reading", "cloud search", "cloud engine", "cloud service", "cloud site," "cloud disk," "cloud station China," and so on.

"Cloud" is a group of computers. Each group includes hundreds of thousands or even millions of computers. The advantage of "cloud" is that the computer in it can be updated at any time to ensure its "immortality." This means that the resources in the "cloud" can be accessed at any time, used on demand, expanded at any time, and paid for according to use. Compared with the previous calculation methods, it can integrate computing resources and implement software self-management. This makes the use of computing operations and data storage can be separated from the user's machine, so as to get rid of the "hardware to determine performance".

The most important resource sharing in cloud computing is based on storage sharing and computing sharing. Network development is a typical example of storage sharing. However, the storage sharing of the network relies on the file level, and the cloud-based storage sharing can reach the data level.

The basic principle of cloud computing is to distribute computing across a large number of distributed computers instead of local computers or remote servers. The operation of an enterprise data center is similar to that of the Internet. This allows companies to switch resources to the applications they need, access computers and storage systems as needed. This is a revolutionary measure. It means that computing power can also be circulated as a commodity. Just like gas and water, it is easy to access and cheap. The biggest difference is that it is transmitted over the Internet. In the future, just a laptop computer or a mobile phone can be used to achieve everything that people need, even including such tasks as supercomputing.

Cloud Computing is the addition, usage, and delivery of Internet-related services. It typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable, often virtualized resources over the Internet. Cloud computing can even allow people to experience 10 trillion operations per second, with such a powerful computing capability that can simulate a nuclear explosion, predict climate change and market trends. Users access the data center through computers, mobile phones, etc., and perform operations according to their own needs.

Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model that provides available, convenient, on-demand network access. The user enters a configurable pool of computing resources (resources include networks, servers, storage, application software, services) that can be provided with these resources that are quickly available and requires little or no administrative effort. Few interactions.

The "cloud platform" allows developers to either run programs written in the "cloud" or use the services provided in the "cloud." This new way of supporting applications has great potential. The cloud platform can be divided into three categories: a storage cloud platform mainly based on data storage, a computational cloud platform mainly based on data processing, and a comprehensive cloud platform that takes care of both computing and data storage processing.
