Cloud & Telecom Security

很不错的总结，一幅图，简明扼要。虽然业界尚无一致，但是云计算正在取代很多Buzzwords – web2.0, utility computing, on-demand computing, … Read more…

五一节将至，预祝大家节日快乐。

偶然从网络上发现下面的一幅卡通图片，讲的是云计算。点击看原文链接

Two basic kinds of online websites are online banks and online games. Unlike what we were doing for traditional system security, we must take care of both front-end servers and customers’ applications. Yeah, customer’s desktops and applications! A lot different!

2 云计算 Cloud Computing。按照Gartner的描述，云计算具有以下几个关键特征：a 将容量能力按照服务交付；b 服务的交付高度可扩展并充满弹性；c 使用互联网技术和技巧来开发和交付服务；d 用以对外部客户交付服务的设计。可以认为，设计之初就具备的高度弹性和扩展性是“云计算”能够带来的最大收益。 Read more…
