Abstract
Cloud computing technology has brought great opportunities to the development of China's agriculture : however it is also lacing unprecedented challenges. According to the advantages of cloud computing, based on the status quo of China's agricultural development, the paper first discussed the impacts of cloud computing for China's agricultural development; and analyzed the field and the prospects of its possible applications in agriculture; then presented the application and promotion of cloud computing technology is a long-term system works, not only need to build the data center, integrate resources, enhance service capabilities, and also need to make information security .
Keywords: Cloud Computing; China's Agriculture; Agricultural Informationization; Agricultural Modernization
1. Introduction
With the continuous development of computer technology and network technology, various areas of the world have been undergoing enormous changes. The application of information technology will not only change the way of information interaction to shorten the distance of the world, but also conducive to social and economic development, improvement of production efficiency. Especially with the emergence and application of cloud computing technology, the resurgence of the climax of the national information construction, being seen as the third IT wave following the computer technology and Internet technology.
Currently, the countries in the world for the study of cloud computing technology is not very mature. Research in developed countries started earlier, and has made outstanding achievements in the basic framework, technical support, platform building. Major world-class IT companies, such as Microsoft, HP, Google, IBM, Oracle, and so on, have deeply realized the huge market potential and business opportunities in the field of "cloud computing", and all have been engaging in these studies (Zhang, 2010). Now, cloud computing has been used and promoted in the field of medicine and medical, manufacturing, financial services, energy, communication and other key areas, which will play an important role for improving the efficient use of resources, information sharing and integration. In China, Cloud computing applications in agriculture are in the phase of theoretical research, and lack mature cases. Therefore, this technology is great significant to improve management level in the weak field of agriculture information construction, the combination of agricultural informationization and modernization.
