Security cloud storage development prospects

With the roll-out of security HD video, security cloud storage has opened up a new world in the security industry.

The direction is good and the prospects are good. Security and security cloud storage need each other and everything is ready. The slow progress between security and cloud storage contrasts sharply with people’s expectations. What is behind the great development prospects?

Security risks bear the brunt

When users use high-definition video for security purposes stored in the cloud, the user's data is very different from that stored locally. Users' control of video data is greatly weakened, and security issues are the first to bear.

Security cloud storage points to two groups of companies and individuals. Personal information disclosure not only infringes the privacy of the parties, causes property damage, and even causes personal injury. Apple's iCloud loopholes caused a large number of Hollywood actresses to be exposed to the nakedness of the incident is a typical personal cloud storage security issues. In today's increasingly important role in the role of data and information, the disclosure of key corporate information will cause irreparable harm to corporate reputation, public trust, economic interests, and even determine the company's survival.

Most cloud storages provide security measures such as VPN and encryption, but this does not strictly prevent unauthorized access to gain login privileges for special purposes. And when users of mobile cloud access information stored in the cloud, their login information is easily intercepted, and the security threat is increased. The security industry has higher security requirements. The existence of security risks in cloud storage makes security very doubtful in the cloud development process.

At present, about 80% of companies are reluctant to put their business data on the public cloud, mainly because of data security. "The troublesome issue of cloud storage is the security of the network. Many corporate customers and even individual users still have doubts. If cloud services are to be provided in large quantities, this is a more worrying part."

Transmission speed and cost issues can not be ignored

The high-definition monitoring of the security industry calls for the integration of cloud storage, but the problem with high quality video is the transmission speed, that is, the performance of cloud storage. The performance bottleneck of cloud storage lies in the connection from broadband to WEB. One is the network contention of multiple users and the equipment performance of network service providers, and the other is the performance of the cloud service center and the entire network. The transfer stored locally for a few seconds can take several hours for cloud storage. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand that the transmission speed of cloud storage has become one of the considerations of security cloud storage.

At the same time, the security industry's video development direction is to high-definition high-quality development, with the 4K, 8K video screen and 24 hours of continuous monitoring of the video volume can not be overlooked. This large amount of video storage is no small challenge for the current stage of broadband and cloud performance.

In addition, we need to pay attention to the cost of cloud storage. One of the highlights of cloud storage compared to the current storage method is "low cost and large capacity."

The development potential of cloud storage is beyond doubt, but for the development of cloud storage, its profit model is one of the guarantees for sustainable development. Although there is financing and listing in the cloud storage industry, it is rare for profit. Even the Box that is considered to be the most successful in cloud storage today. The second fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2016 is expected to be between $69 million and $70 million, and operating margins not measured in accordance with US GAAP will be between negative 49% and negative 51%. Internet companies provide cloud storage services, but profiting from traditional storage methods is obviously out of date, but failing to form a complete profit model for a long time will also become a problem for cloud storage development.

Data Resource Ownership and Reliability Issues

When the data is stored locally, the ownership of the data information is clear and the user can handle it at any time. With the advent of security cloud storage, the control of data information has been reduced, and users are unaware of where information is stored and where it is stored. Because the cloud is public, when data is stored in the cloud, who accesses and copies information, or data resources are accessed by unauthorized individuals, it will lead to serious disputes over the ownership of data resources.

In the case of unclear ownership of such resources, security video information is sometimes apparent due to its protection and privacy.

Cloud storage providers have made security commitments at the beginning of the service, but cloud storage involves a large network coverage, and service interruptions also occur from time to time. Amazon, the world's largest public cloud service provider, suffered a rare downtime in the early morning of August 10, which affected many popular websites. With the failure, the user cannot access the stored cloud data. When security video adopts cloud storage and requires continuous uploading of video, the reliability of service providers is extremely high. Reliability has become a problem that needs to be solved in the integration of cloud storage into the security industry.

The prospects for cloud storage are considerable, but the development of hidden pain actually exists. Returning to the demand itself and developing with the user as the center can we steadily advance. The cloud is not a perfect cloud. Only the market is the only way to make gold.
