文章中作者针对Google刚刚发布的Chrome OS做了一番评述。好的部分是企业使用了私有云,可以让基础设施更加可靠,减少了使用开销,可获得高回报,由于数据集中于私有云,更便于管理维护;而更多的,作者表达了他的担忧:数据寄托于云并不在“属于”自己,个人的可操作性大大降低了。


Google has eventually announced its Chrome OS Device or the Chrome notebook. Cloud-based operating systems like Chrome OS and Jolicloud worries me a bit, because I am a conservative when it comes to computing.

The Good: Cloud & Businesses
The real benefit or advantage of cloud is in enterprise segment, as ‘private cloud’.  Private clouds are extremely useful for businesses to manage, control and maintain the IT infrastructure in centralized manner.  In an enterprise environment, private cloud means scalability, reduced TCO, and heavy ROI.

Private Clouds offer extreme security of data as monitoring is centralized. It also allows employees to access their form any terminal thus improving productivity through mobility.

Private clouds make immense sense in enterprise environment. But why do you, as an individual, need the cloud? Mobility? Ability to access data anytime anywhere? If this be the case, keep the data with you. Why?

The Bad And The Ugly
Free Software community has been working hard to get control over our computing. Free Software Foundation and similar organizations have been running various projects to release us from the clutches of proprietary technologies. Now, we have reached a point where are quite rich when it comes to the wealth of free and open source software.

Suddenly, we see the emergence of cloud computing — arrival of Google Chrome netbooks and JoliCloud. How much should I, as a free software user, be concerned?Very much.

As an individual user, cloud computing means I lose control from the computation, processing of my data as I don’t not run/own the software which process my data. I will never be able to see the code or tweak it to improve performance if I want, because it runs on the servers of some giant corporate far far away in a distant galaxy. Cloud renders mute the whole concept of FOSS, the fun of hacking.

Another worrying factor is I lose ownership of my data if I use cloud. My data doesn’t reside on my local machine. It floats in the cloud of those companies.
