IBM teaches you how to solve the problem quickly

Appropriate solution to the problem, and our lives are closely related, such as economic crisis, energy conservation, environmental protection, education. The idea put forward by IBM is to build a smarter planet that will solve some of the challenges we face or are facing now with our technology.

If we want to use the most reasonable way to solve the problem first of all do the following three points:
◆ First, let all things be perceptible, measurable. This requires technologies like sensors to get more data.
◆ Second, our information should be interconnected, and we need to integrate everything.
◆ Third, smart, get these data, we need to have better tools to deal with it, to help everyone make this decision.

All of these are all people's ideals, if it is mapped to a specific solution to the problem, then cloud computing is smarter planet inside a very core piece of technology solutions.

IBM's understanding of cloud computing

IBM's understanding of cloud computing, simply to cloud computing itself is a development of the lineage, it is more of an innovation rather than a revolution. For example, the Internet is a revolution, but many technologies from Java to the back are seen as very effective innovations. Of course, cloud computing is also seen as a revolutionary aspect of its business model and user experience, extending the way we used to power our computing power. On the other hand is the business, cloud computing for the original design of enterprises, IT architecture ideas have completely changed. This is also seen from several aspects:

The first one is that in the past, the decentralized IT structure that sub-departments and sub-organizational structures still needed did not need to continue to exist? Maybe a huge multinational just needs a cloud OK. The other for the small and medium enterprises, I also use the IT department, and the future of many companies, including IBM will set up some leases to form a public cloud, in this case. SMEs in the IT investment significantly reduced the case, still able to maintain the previous IT capabilities, enterprises will enjoy more powerful and professional services, improve the IT level.

Different levels of cloud computing services

From three different levels to look at cloud services this matter, at the lowest level is infrastructure services, we can through the virtual server, storage, network so that we can enjoy the fun of cloud computing. The second part is the service paas part of the software platform, the role is to optimize middleware, including application servers, database servers and portal servers. Then there is a layer above the application service, which is related to industry or specific needs, saas part.

Further speaking is the flexibility and efficiency of the cloud, such as the public cloud, is to provide a service to the end customer, and private cloud, for the big business planning it to do. There is also a hybrid cloud concept between the two.

We just talked about virtualization, virtual only those physical platform. In fact, like security, a system if it is safe, we must say that hardware is safe, the software is safe, the network is safe, and people are safe. Virtualization can do the same thing, hardware can be virtualized, middleware can be virtualized, and saas can be virtualized.

Manage three boxes of clouds

To give an example, websphere cloudburst, this is IBM just launched in July this year, a new cloud computing management platform, it is a box, its full name is websphere cloudburst appliance, which means he is an appliance appliance. I have visited many customers, they say that now that there are already many software, why do you have to engage in a hardware box to manage the cloud computing environment? My answer was that this is an IT trend, when 15 years ago we need a very complicated way to connect to the internet to do a very simple thing, but slowly cisco, 3com, Huawei such a company, With a dedicated router, we now only need to buy a D-Link box, plug it in and use it. The same thing happens with cloud computing management. If cloud computing is complex, and if this complex system is governed by a more complex system, maybe we also need a system to manage that system. The websphere cloudburst can be plugged in any one of your rack, you do not need to open any software, you only need to open the web server interface, you can see anything in the cloud, including the cloud hardware, resources , It is a very interesting thing that you can control these system life cycles through it dynamically.

So I told my client that you would only need three boxes for your data center in the future, one for power supply, one for external internet access, and the third for websphere cloudburst to manage your computing power. All content within such a cloud-based data center can be managed by these three boxes.
