What is the difference between cloud computing and traditional IDC?

IDC and cloud computing is a dependency, that is to say, cloud computing is built on the IDC hardware infrastructure services on top of the virtualization, cloud computing is made up of this foundation and the emergence of the cloud, if there is no underlying foundation, there will be no cloud computing.

What is IDC?

IDC is the foundation of cloud computing, there is no IDC there is no cloud, IDC is the Internet world's late security point, is the place where the data is stored, in short, IDC is a professional place to put the server.

The main offerings include hosting (space, rack, VIP room rental), resource rental (such as web hosting business, data storage services) and so on. It is the physical level of belonging, similar to our telecommunications, Unicom, mobile and other such communications providers. Hosting of servers for businesses, governments

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing, after the virtualization of hardware servers, in the formation of virtual resource pools, compared to physical machines more resource cost savings, easy to manage!

Data storage are dependent on the Internet, around this data related services are also on the Internet. Cloud computing is a dynamic resource allocation achieved through resource pooling

Currently, we commonly used to the cloud on the Ali cloud, Tencent cloud, etc., these are cloud computing providers. They have launched a variety of services are known as cloud services, such as cloud services, load balancing, Internet of Things, container services and so on

IDC and the difference between cloud computing

IDC inside a whole server, can not be divided into, and the cloud is the virtualization of these hardware resources.1 scratch more, for a small website you may not use a server, you can want as much as you want. But for a large website you need a lot more. But for large websites, you need more servers to provide services. This time it is necessary to more row 1, N servers virtualized into one, to improve the server side of the pressure resistance.

In the traditional IDC services include physical server hosting and rental of two categories. The former is by the user to purchase their own hardware sent to the server room hosting, during the monitoring and management of equipment are unilaterally and independently completed by the user, the IDC data center to provide IP access, bandwidth access, power supply and network maintenance, etc., the latter is by the IDC data center to rent the physical equipment to the customer to use, and at the same time is responsible for the stability of the environment, the user does not need to purchase hardware equipment.

While cloud computing provides a continuous and holistic set of services from infrastructure to business foundation platform to application layer.
