Canonical OEM Department Vice President: Cloud Standard is the key

December 12, China Cloud World Congress held in Beijing, including Baidu, Super Cloud and Ufida and other domestic well-known it manufacturers participated in the meeting. At the meeting, including Beijing vice Mayor Gou Zhongwen and Super Cloud company chairman Tian and so on have made an important speech, and hope to work together with other manufacturers to promote the development of China's cloud computing industry.

With the acceleration of information process, a large number of emerging technologies have emerged, such as mobile Internet, IoT, cloud computing and so on. For many small and medium-sized enterprises, the scalability of cloud computing, easy to deploy and pay on demand will bring about subversive changes in the informatization process of enterprises. Now the various manufacturers are talking about the cloud, with the continuous spread of cloud technology, we will inevitably face a problem, that is the cloud standard problem. In the following speech, Mr. Chris Kenyon, vice president of Canonical OEM services, will give us a few of the conveniences that cloud standards will bring to the cloud industry and what difficulties it will face. The following is a transcript of the speech:

▲canonical, vice president of OEM services, Mr. Chris Kenyon

Good morning everyone! I am very happy to be here today and then come to our cloud base, the 2011 Cloud World Congress. I think Europe is now a financial crisis, you know the crisis of European debt, many people will ask a question, the United States and the European economy will not affect China's situation, what kind of impact. I think, in this context, there are two fundamental changes in technology around the world, one is what we call the mobile Internet, the technology of mobile Internet, now can be anywhere, and include what we call cloud computing, touch computing. Have you seen a child, and then with a smartphone to play Angry Birds, my son this year, 3 years old, on our home TV, began to use touch screen slide screen, said the TV is broken, how to slip.

In addition to the technology of mobile Internet, there is another technology that may not be visible to the general people, that is how we define our storage and the cloud. Today we have people from many government departments, business people. We hope to be able to learn, network 2.0, Tencent, Google, Baidu, Yahoo, etc., now has three technology, first, cloud technology, the second, we say the user's large data interface, the third is that we use the product interface, hardware interface. In fact, the calculation is 30 years of change.

I think a previous speaker from Cloud Security said that our calculations go into the third phase, no longer the same as in the past, we need more basic cloud computing and standards. I am from canonical company, we are at the same time in the world the most advanced Linux development companies, we know more about Utopia, the world has 20 million of desktops, this year will be a new 10 million of customers. There are a lot of people who don't know what we can do with the server. Has anyone ever seen a avatar movie, which is utopian, is used on the server.

There are two more data to share, now in the Amazon most commonly used operating system utopia, now as a service platform service, are built on the basis of utopia. About the cloud architecture, there is one thing to tell you, is the cloud infrastructure services, as well as platform as a service, are what we call the most basic Kaiyuan style, or open service. All the big clouds, we now see the larger cloud, Baidu, Tencent, Google, Amazon and so on, these are based on Linux. Their technology is very excellent and inexpensive.

At the same time, consider a network, in fact, an open standard set up, HTML standards, HTTP standards, are open standards. At the same time, before the world Internet, we have a global network, we have all, but if we want to experience this innovation, or the explosion of technology, that is, the situation facing today. That is to say, the standard should be open. Then a closed cloud will not, or can not, bring us true technological innovation. So, it does not help us to achieve the goal of our cloud base set up, so in the cloud solution, not to say that the patent-type, or proprietary. At the same time, for virtualization, virtualization itself is not a cloud, it is the steps to implement the cloud, or the cornerstone. At the same time, clouds are not just able to come from a single supplier.

So what can we achieve with an open cloud? For example, in China to achieve cloudy suppliers, with the same technology, the relevant services, the winner, is to win the trust of customers and the government. Government clouds also adopt the standard of open cloud, not only can reduce the cost of public cloud, representing a Chinese city, a province of innovative technology, can be used in another city, another province.

At the same time, if our private cloud is based on open standards, that is, it can achieve good flexibility, and can be directly connected to the public cloud. So all can be achieved, but the prerequisite is that we must have an open standard.

So how can we find an open standard for a good cloud.

First, there is no need to pay the right to use, license, and need a lot of technical support. So, we now have a global project called Open Station, open storage, open standards. Now the open station has more than 150 companies worldwide, and more than 27 developers have adopted it within 18 months. We introduced the development station one months ago in China, there are more than 500 developers, China Mobile now consider the way to open the station.

Our company is like Utopia, we are willing to adopt this development station, create an open cloud, it is open source, and also an open source development, unlike Android, Android is opened by a company that is open, and all companies can control the roadmap, develop software, put it into the system, It is also a globalized system.

And, briefly, from the infrastructure, the service side, I'll talk briefly about the data. Big data keeps changing the way we analyze data now. We are in the world, such as the original PT to Mega T, and we can put the data in the global analysis. The original Wal-Mart, or other big organization, they want 15 or 30 minutes of data global analysis, and large data also has a big impact, such as many companies, oil companies, financial companies, tourism companies, IT companies, etc., big data can change the entire industry, can take the infrastructure as a service. In addition, big data does a lot of innovation, while real innovation comes from open standards.

Finally, I would like to say a few words, today we see in Beijing, the development of the cloud is very good, believe that our innovation in the cloud is actually just the tip of the iceberg of our next 20 years.

At the same time, for the cloud, including big data, including the hardware of the goods, will be in the future innovation. So, now in the top 20 of the world's IT companies, four are Chinese companies, I believe that China's companies in the future, if the future adoption of a more open source and more open-minded attitude, the profit will surely belong to Chinese enterprises.

And finally, open clouds, including Linux, will be the most important part of the 21st century. Like the 20th century, coal and steel for the 20th century important, I believe that in China, this dream will come true, thank you!
