解构里面再次解构

The Cloud is the (relatively) new buzzword in office computing. To those of us who started our careers in the 90s or early 2000s, we’ve grown up in an office filled with computers that were becoming more and more a part of how we worked, until now we can barely imagine doing without them.

在办公室计算中，云是(相对)新的流行语。 对于那些在90年代或2000年代初开始职业生涯的人来说，我们已经成长为一个办公室，里面装满了越来越多的计算机，这些计算机正成为我们工作方式的一部分，直到现在，我们几乎无法想象没有它们就可以做什么。

Cloud computing is simply the logical next step in this evolution.  If you have a Facebook account, Gmail, or have ever used Google Docs, then you’re already familiar with some of what the cloud can do.

云计算只是这一发展过程中逻辑上的下一步。 如果您拥有Facebook帐户，Gmail或曾经使用过Google文档，那么您已经熟悉了云可以完成的一些工作。

To get you started, here’s a neat little video from CBeyond that introduces the cloud:

为了让您入门，这是CBeyond的一个精巧的小视频，介绍了云：

What is the Cloud, in a Nutshell?

简而言之，什么是云？

The cloud, most basically put, is hundreds of thousands of servers connected to the internet where you can store your stuff and – this is the important part – get to it wherever you are in the world. You can do it with your iPhone using Apple’s iCloud, or you can do it with an Amazon Kindle.  If you lose your Kindle, you don’t lose your books – they’re there in your Amazon account so you can download them again.

最基本地说，云是连接到互联网的成千上万台服务器，您可以在其中存储您的东西，这是重要的部分，无论您身在何处，都可以使用它。 您可以使用Apple的iCloud在iPhone上进行操作，也可以在Amazon Kindle上进行操作。 如果您丢失了Kindle，则也不会丢失您的图书-它们在您的Amazon帐户中，因此您可以再次下载它们。

Even more ubiquitous than iPhones and Kindles are Facebook and Gmail accounts. If you used to use only Outlook, and your laptop died, you lost all of your emails. That concern is now utterly a thing of the past. Likewise, you can access your Facebook account from any internet-capable device, anywhere in the world, because none of the data is stored on a device you use.

Facebook和Gmail帐户比iPhone和Kindle更普及。 如果您以前仅使用Outlook，并且笔记本电脑死了，那么您将丢失所有电子邮件。 现在，这种担忧已经完全成为过去。 同样，您可以从世界上任何地方的任何具有互联网功能的设备访问您的Facebook帐户，因为没有数据存储在您使用的设备上。

That is the most basic, and commonly experienced, form of cloud computing.  It’s simple, but its possibilities are endless.  Imagine a digital camera that doesn’t need a memory card – it simply sends all of your saved photos straight to the cloud via a cheap 4G connection.  We’re not quite there yet – mobile data can’t handle too much traffic cheaply.  But it’s coming soon.

那是最基本，最常使用的云计算形式。 它很简单，但是可能性无限。 想象一下不需要存储卡的数码相机，它只是通过便宜的4G连接将所有保存的照片直接发送到云中。 我们还没有到位 –移动数据不能廉价地处理太多流量。 但是即将到来。

What Does it Mean For My Business?

这对我的业务意味着什么？

If you’re a business owner, large or small, you can benefit from using more cloud-based services. The number one reason for this is that it turns large CapEx (capital expenditure) spends into more manageable OpEx, because cloud services are usually billed monthly.

如果您是大型或小型企业主，则可以从使用更多基于云的服务中受益。 原因之一是，由于云服务通常按月计费，因此将大笔的资本支出(资本支出)变成了更易于管理的运营支出。

More than that, they’re much cheaper and more flexible than their physical counterparts.  You usually only pay for what you need right now, not what you think you’ll need in a year’s time.

不仅如此，它们比同类产品更便宜，更灵活。 通常，您只需要支付当前所需的费用，而不必支付一年后所需的费用。

You can have your entire company’s email and file system, as well as its accounting, payroll, and any other specialist software you need, available from anywhere. You can also host everyone’s actual computer on the cloud, allowing you to only install cheap thin clients in your office.

您可以在任何地方使用整个公司的电子邮件和文件系统，以及其会计，薪资单和所需的任何其他专业软件。 您还可以将每个人的实际计算机托管在云上，从而仅在办公室中安装便宜的瘦客户机。

Your staff can access their computer, which is simply a virtual image, from a $200 thin client, their own laptop, or their mobile phone.  And it’s all cheaper than having a full-scale computer network installed.

您的员工可以从200美元的瘦客户机，他们自己的笔记本电脑或手机中访问他们的计算机，这只是一个虚拟映像。 而且，这比安装完整的计算机网络便宜。

What Are the Disadvantages of Using the Cloud?

使用云的缺点是什么？

Naturally, any new technology has its leading edge of early adopters, but most people are scared off because of one or another flaw or an expense. In this case, the problem is bandwidth and internet connectivity.

自然地，任何新技术都具有早期采用者的领先优势，但是大多数人会因为一个或另一个缺陷或花费而被吓跑。 在这种情况下，问题是带宽和互联网连接。

Simply put, if you have a lot of your dealings in the cloud, you need a lot of bandwidth to move the data back and forth to whatever device you’re accessing it from. This can be costly, especially if most of your staff are on the go and using their mobile devices and 3G or 4G connections.

简而言之，如果您在云中有大量交易，则需要大量带宽才能将数据来回移动到要从中访问数据的任何设备。 这可能会造成很高的成本，特别是如果您的大多数员工都在旅途中并使用他们的移动设备和3G或4G连接时。

The other issue is that if you have no internet, you have no network. You not only have no mail or connectivity with your colleagues, but you also don’t have access to your computer and the software you use on a daily basis – even if you’re in the office.

另一个问题是，如果没有互联网，就没有网络。 您不仅没有邮件或与同事的联系，而且即使您在办公室，也无权访问每天使用的计算机和软件。

These are drawbacks that are getting smaller and smaller every year and, despite them, cloud technology is generally proving to be more cost effective and more convenient than traditional solutions.

这些弊端每年都在变得越来越小，尽管有这些弊端，但与传统解决方案相比，云技术通常被证明具有更高的成本效益和更加便利。
