Cloud computing versus Servers The future is confusing

The

has benefited from strong demand for information, although the current annual sales of servers in China and even the global market are still rising steadily, but in some regional markets such as the UK, as the cycle of enterprise systems is nearing completion and more and more small and medium-sized enterprises are turning to cloud computing rather than buying hardware, The UK server market is expected to shrink next year. This also leads to our topic today--with the development of cloud computing services and popularization, the enterprise for the server procurement and even develop what kind of situation?

A similar topic was actually proposed in 2009, when predictions suggested that "the number of companies abandoning their own servers would grow significantly": for companies with more than 1000 employees, they would consider abandoning their servers and switching to cloud computing services provided by technology companies.

In fact, a large number of small businesses are already doing this, and a large number of midsize and even large enterprises will consider abandoning their own servers, and cloud computing has become a magic weapon for businesses to innovate in business models, such as a telecoms company in India that does not have its own IT infrastructure, Instead, it fully leases the services of cloud computing providers to face rapidly growing users and markets and focus exclusively on innovation in business models; Emerging social networks or WEB2.0 companies have a greater interest in cloud computing because it means lower investment risk, a small amount of money in exchange for IT services, rather than buying a pricey data center at the start of a startup.

Cloud computing, while becoming a lubricant for business model innovation, replaces the purchase budgets that were originally used for servers or the entire IT infrastructure with cheques paid to cloud services companies. In a sense, it resources are turning from icy steel boxes to measurable "public services", like putting electricity into the IT department rather than having to build a power plant.

Positive innovation can be seen as an active factor in server procurement to cloud computing, and the impending economic weakness will also make companies more budget-oriented.

Market research firm IDC believes the weak growth in Western Europe is expected to be a comprehensive manifestation of the sluggish server sector caused by poor market conditions. Financial institutions, in particular, are nearing the end of the process of loosening their purse bags after the Great Depression of 2009, and the renewal cycle of the enterprise-class market is coming. Large and medium-sized enterprises see a good return on virtualization, and many enterprise users who invest in high spec systems are starting to increase the input of virtual servers instead of buying physical servers. These factors affect the sales of server hardware.

because it needs to be infinitely extensible to the consumer, and readily available, on-demand, expanded, paid for, and eager for cloud service provider data center requirements.For example: scale effect, ultra-high density, flexible and rapid expansion, reduce operation and maintenance costs, automation management and high reliability.

In the context of the requirements for the server itself, these requirements need to be met to standardize, simplify, and even customize to meet the needs of the cloud era from the server itself to the management and Operation dimension. With more than millions of Google Cloud computing, companies like Amazon, the first to introduce EC2 into commercial cloud computing, seem to be ahead.

Although the complete customization of the server's architecture as Google does not seem to be the choice of most enterprises, the server architecture continues to evolve from the current rack-and-blade servers to the "cloud". Hyper-density, virtual network, process maintenance and even to the requirements of distributed file System/storage can cause the evolution of server technology and even structure.
