Chen Chong: Cloud ERA database development needs high-end talent-products and technology

Cloud computing for the traditional IT industry has brought about changes in various fields, the development of the database is no exception.

At IBM DB2 Migration Star Competition Committee chairman, China Computer Industry Association director Chen said, cloud computing http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14345.html "> The speed of data processing and data transmission has brought about a transformative impact. In the past, he thought, when we talked about the challenges of massive data, we thought about the ability to compute and transmit. But now, with the increasing of system computing power, the storage and computing ability of Calculator's inner-layer data is increasing, which facilitates the construction of database and data center, and can change greatly in hardware and software configuration.

In the era of cloud computing, the core manager of a database is not a host, but a plurality of centers, each of which calculates the data or manages the data stored as a representative. "We used to think of data storage as a data center, and in the era of cloud computing, the storage of external data centers would be more tightly integrated with the internal processing of computers." "Chen believes that although the concept of database storage and processing will continue to exist, but there will be a great change in the development of our database industry, is a rare opportunity." "Network-oriented mass storage needs a wealth of database and memory data processing, cloud application-oriented structured processing and unstructured processing and other related database management technology is the future innovation and development direction, we have a lot of development space in this area." "said Chen.

The fundamental driving force of innovation is talent. In the era of cloud computing, the database industry calls for more high-end talent. From this point of view, the DB2 competition is very meaningful to the cultivation of talents. "In the past, most of the database talent training was basic, general-level training, and now under the new architecture, the DB2 competition combines high-end talent with the training of ordinary people, which is very important," said Chen. "In his view, the DB2 competition is a useful attempt to combine database and middleware."

The DB2 competition has played a very good role in promoting the development of independent controllable database products. "said Chen.

He also pointed out that the DB2 competition embodies the characteristics of the third generation of software products. In the first generation of software development, individual innovation can make a product. In the second phase of the development of software industry, software products are the results of the team's common innovation. Unlike the first two stages of the product, the current software products, to combine team innovation and personal innovation. Individuals should have the ability to innovate and leadership and lead the team forward. "Therefore, in his view, those who have both leadership and critical thinking, can put forward and innovative ideas of the contestants, will stand out in this competition."
