Following the Hewlett-Packard 2011 Discovery Conference (HP Discover 2011) In the United States Las Vegas closed, 2011 HP Cloud World Congress has today met with Chinese users.

Cloud Four

He Jianbo, manager of China Hewlett-Packard Solutions Center, briefed IT168 editor on HP's understanding of cloud computing, He Jianbo that the concept of cloud computing contained three key points: resilience, pooling of pooled computing resources, and pay-per-view. The so-called elasticity, meaning that users in the process of consumer cloud computing services can be dynamically scalable, not only need to increase the workload when the workload or expansion, in the workload is not high, the reduction of resources and expansion in fact equally important. Sharing a pool of resources means pooling of computing, storage, networks, and even data and information resources. Finally, users can quantify how much cloud computing resources are available and can pay on demand.

In the process of migrating the enterprise architecture to cloud computing, the role of the CIO has also undergone a subtle shift, with the four key activities that CIOs need to optimize in the cloud ERA include: transition and build, transition from traditional infrastructure and applications to cloud, management and security, including online applications and cloud asset security; Secure consumer services for external cloud and cloud providers.
