Cloud storage application analysis in the field of security

The concept of "cloud" was born in 2006. In a few short years, with the massiveness of storage, data storage security, and data sharing, it has been widely used in the Internet, mobile Internet and other areas, and gradually Stepping into the cross-border field, the security industry is one of them. With the deepening of the construction of smart cities, users are increasingly demanding the linkage and sharing of video storage data with each other. However, existing storage technologies cannot fill this security requirement well, and the application of cloud storage technology in the security field also increases. With its inherent advantages came into being.

However, cloud storage technology in the field of security promotion, there are still conditions, such as the amount of data on the consumption of broadband is very large, there is currently no data center conditions, cloud storage applications in the field of security will also take a long road However, with the current development of the Internet, the prospects for cloud security will be better.

The origin of cloud storage technology The concept of "cloud" was first born on the Internet, and its cloud technology has been used in various industries. "Cloud" is a metaphorical saying. It is usually the back end and it is hard to see. This gives people a sense of nothingness and is therefore called "cloud." Back in 2006 Google launched the "Google 101 plan", the "cloud" concept and theory was formally proposed, followed by Amazon, Microsoft, IBM and other companies announced their own "cloud plan", cloud storage, cloud security and other related The concept of cloud was born one after another.

According to relevant sources, cloud storage is a concept extended and developed on the basis of the concept of cloud computing. It refers to the adoption of cluster applications, network technologies, or distributed functions to transfer a large number of different types of storage devices across the network. Set up to work together to provide external data storage and service access systems. Cloud storage can meet the storage challenges that accompany the growth of massive inactive data. It has the ability to linearly expand performance and access speeds as capacity grows, ensuring highly adaptive and self-healing capabilities for data storage. The multi-tenant environment provides privacy and security, allowing users to expand performance and capacity as needed based on policies and service models.

The introduction of cloud security and cloud monitoring concepts According to reports, cloud security is based on the Internet of Things model and adopts cloud storage technology to meet the needs of modern security. Specific implementation refers to the integration of technologies such as video surveillance, access control, RFID radio frequency identification, intrusion alarm, fire alarm, SMS alarm, and GPS satellite positioning through cloud security through cluster applications, grid technologies, and distributed file systems. Work, carry out information exchange and communication, complete intelligent identification, positioning, tracking and monitoring of security management. Users can perform 24-hour seamless remote supervision through C/S, B/S, and mobile device customer service. According to related technical personnel, the cloud security architecture includes a sensing layer, a network layer, a processing layer, and an application layer. Among them, the sensory layer is composed of various sensors and sensor gateways, including sensory terminals such as cameras, microphones, fingerprints, intrusion detection, smoke detection, vibration detection, and temperature detection; the network layer is composed of various private networks, the Internet, and telephone networks. The wireless communication network is composed of a centralized storage service, an alarm service, a message service, and a data service. The application layer is an excuse for the Internet of things and users, and is combined with industry requirements to realize intelligent application of the Internet of Things.

The "cloud monitoring" in the security field refers to the technical concepts of cloud computing, cloud storage, data center, and business intelligence in the IT industry's development process. It optimizes the design and development of data center architectures and technologies for monitoring and other multimedia services. Security large-scale networking practices promoted the overall architecture to be robust, scalable, operational, and standardized, enabling more centralized video data and further data-information and informationization, making management and operations more efficient and simpler. Ultimately, the continuous reduction in the total cost of TCO has promoted the continuous evolution and development of the monitoring industry as a whole toward the era of IT cloud computing.

It is understood that cloud surveillance has become a hot topic in the security industry in recent years. Most of the industry talks about the concept of smart cities, and invariably places the security cloud and IT cloud computing video surveillance industry at the same stage - resource virtualization and cloud The concept of cloud monitoring in the areas of service and security is also constantly improving.

Advantages of cloud storage technology in the security field The characteristics of cloud storage technology in the security field include: First, monitoring cloud storage uses more video surveillance hosting services to provide customers with private cloud services for smaller deployments. , such as homes, shops, and secondly, the provision of security cloud services will be customized by enterprises, cloud service providers to provide the necessary infrastructure, services, hardware and software resources, etc.; Third, the data center model will be introduced and gradually become security The main form of industry.

Cloud storage has the following advantages:

(1) Storage management can be automated and intelligent, all storage resources are integrated, and customers see a single storage space;

(2) Improve storage efficiency, solve the waste of storage space through virtualization technology, automatically redistribute data, improve the utilization of storage space, and provide load balancing and fault redundancy;

(3) Cloud storage can achieve scale effect and elastic expansion, reduce operating costs, and avoid resource waste;

The application of cloud storage technology in the security field is limited by the characteristics of security video surveillance's own business. There may be differences between monitoring cloud storage and the existing Internet cloud computing model. For example, security users tend to store video information locally, and government video surveillance applications. Relatively sensitive issues such as the privacy of video information and video surveillance consume a lot of network bandwidth.

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.

It has been learned that several safe cities in China have already made attempts. In the future, they will be modeled by the pilots. With the help of large-scale applications of smart cities, they will gather people's strengths and promote the improvement of relevant application standards. It is believed that cloud storage can be promoted faster. Security applications.

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.
