Current cloud computing's 10 great obstacles and future potential of the enormous business opportunities

The University of California, Berkeley researchers outlined their views for cloud computing. The researchers said that, if the manufacturer can overcome a lot of obstacles, they will be a great opportunity to make use of IT resources than ever before.

This 11-researchers in the cloud: Berkeley for cloud computing viewpoint on the white paper proposes their forecast for cloud computing. These researchers in three years ago by Google, Microsoft, IBM and Sun invested RAD Lab (reliable Adaptive Distributed Systems Laboratory).

The researchers said, we believe in low-cost regions of the construction and operation of very major, commercialization of computer data centre is cloud computing critical implementation factors. However, to take advantage of this opportunity, manufacturers need to reconsider their manufacture their own products. Application developers not only need to ensure that their products can be upgraded, but also to ensure that these products could rapidly degraded in order to meet those needs with cloud computing to meet your short-term needs of the customer's needs. Application and infrastructure software developers also need to comply with the cloud computing reality according to usage charge license mode. Infrastructure software vendor must make their own products to run on a virtual machine. This is the cloud computing provider in large-scale data center Foundation technology in use.

These researchers in terms of hardware, manufacturers need to consider large products. Manufacturers need to consider the construction of container size products. In other words, the dimensions of these products is equivalent to about a dozen or more of the rack. Hardware vendors need to consider other important problems there are energy-saving and Flash.

This white paper provides a brief description of cloud computing for 10 disorders are:

1. service availability

2. data locking

3. data confidentiality and auditability

4. data transfer bottleneck

5. performance of unpredictability

6. flexible storage

7. large-scale distributed system flaws

8. the rapid expansion

9. the reputation of fate sharing

10. software license

Berkeley researchers also raised a number of ways to overcome them. For example, this white paper recommended that users with multiple cloud computing providers to guarantee service availability, and called for cloud computing providers use their huge bandwidth prevents denial of service attacks to ensure service availability. The researchers called on the cloud computing market companies in application manufacturers use application programming interface standards to avoid vendor lock-in. These researchers agree with the use of encryption technology to protect data as a broader part of the security program.

Berkeley researchers believe that, although the cloud computing provider front also has many obstacles, however, cloud computing is a huge opportunity, and is not a very low business profitability. The cloud computing user costs significantly low services for cloud computing providers continues to be very profitable.
