The advent of cloud computing is not groundless, it is the natural product of the development of IT services. Cloud computing from the "concept of speculation" to today's "start landing", whether the enterprise users or consumers have gradually felt the change brought about by the wave, cloud office, cloud storage to bring us not only the changes in the way of work, but also bring us a new way of life.
On the way to work, see the synchronized schedule via smartphone;
On the way, through pad for basic daily work;
Home entertainment, through a variety of cloud games to relax work pressure;
......
With the advent of intelligent terminals, the word mobile Internet into our horizons, cloud computing and mobile Internet as a Hollywood superstar like the shuttle in a variety of "Fashion Awards ceremony", where the "fans" gathered, there are many fans of entrepreneurs, VCs, executives and other enterprises. It is true that the various intelligent terminals of mobile internet and cloud computing are the best partners, because the data is stored in different "clouds", and many calculations are done at the terminal. This kind of understanding and Microsoft's "Cloud + End" is coincide.
Microsoft is implementing "Cloud + End" strategy in cloud computing domain. In the cloud, the Microsoft cloud covers IaaS, PAAs, and SaaS three levels, as well as public and private clouds. and Microsoft in the "end" positioning is the future of various types of equipment can be covered, the end is the export of cloud computing, cloud computing needs to achieve the landing, cloud and end to complement each other, so cloud computing to continue to develop, it is bound to close with the end.
"All in the Clouds," Microsoft's use of "end-connected future" for us to tell the wonderful cloud computing. The three screens of "one cloud three" include a handheld terminal represented by Windows Phone Smartphone, a desktop terminal represented by Windows 8 and a living room terminal represented by a body sensor such as Kinect. How wonderful cloud computing is, Microsoft is using its end to connect you.
Desktop Terminals: Windows 8
Windows 8 is a landmark operating system that Microsoft has focused on. Magnetic-type Metro interface, super fast boot speed, cloud forward ... These features have made this not officially released Windows 8 operating system has been a number of early assessment of the affirmation.
The biggest advantage of Windows 8, which is designed with cloud computing, is that the operating system can support multi-platform operations such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. In addition, Windows 8, combined with Microsoft cloud services, is expected to build a new ecosystem. The previously widely used MSN account will also be upgraded to a Microsoft account (Microsoft ID) and become a new cloud ID.
As we all know, a large technology module in cloud computing is virtualization, and the Windows 8 operating system has a full virtualization platform, and its own Hyper-V network virtualization allows multiple virtual network virtual machines to use the exclusive virtual network. Before the physical machine virtualization, WIN8 began to allow the network virtualization, so that two of customers can completely separate network traffic, better application of resources, reduce costs.
Baidu Encyclopedia of Windows 8 interpretation of the term is added to the imaginative "revolutionary change" this adjective, in fact, Microsoft Ballmer released in various occasions Windows 8 related information has given us enough space to imagine. Ballmer has also described a promising future for device manufacturers and application developers using the new system: predicting that the number of users using Windows 8 next year will reach 500 million. Look forward to the arrival of Windows 8 together!
PS: Microsoft recently officially released the Windows 8 Release preview version!
Handheld Terminal: Windows Phone
Windows phone is Microsoft's mobile operating system, which integrates Microsoft's Xbox Live games, Zune music and unique video experience into mobile phones.
As an important part of Microsoft's "Cloud + End" strategy, Windows phone is also the first mobile phone to be designed with the idea of "cloud + End", which is the best interpretation of Microsoft's cloud strategy in the mobile field. Windows Phone has the unique advantage of Microsoft to provide a seamless experience across the "N-screen + cloud".
In the latest Windows Phone7.5 system, Microsoft has given Windows Phone its powerful traditional advantage--outlook mobile and office Mobile. Users can keep mail folders on the Start screen, quickly realize real-time viewing, and easily browse, create, and edit Office documents. and its built-in new SkyDrive cloud storage service allows users to read and store Office documents, pictures, and so on from the cloud via the Windows Live ID (MSN account), and really do the editing of documents and work easily anytime, anywhere.
Mention of mobile phone system, naturally avoid Apple's iOS and Google's Android, the face of the two strong hegemony of the pattern, Microsoft WP7 not weakness, in the cracks stand out, the development of fast. Future development will depend on whether the platform can be recognized by many handset manufacturers. In the Chinese market, according to the 558 3G smartphone data of the Bayes Monitor, there are currently 73 handsets with WP operating systems, accounting for 13%, after Android. And from the platform of mobile phone sales, 2011 1-September, 3G smartphone market, WP operating system mobile phone sales of 1.5523 million, accounted for 4%, lower than Android, Symbian, IOS, ranked fourth.
Living room Terminal: Kinect
Kinect technology has completely subverted the single operation of the game, making the concept of human-machine interaction more thoroughly demonstrated. The game player does not need to use any controller, it is relies on the camera to capture the three dimensional space player's movement. The system can also automatically identify the face, allowing the player to automatically connect to the game, but also to identify the voice and accept commands to help players complete the game.
In addition, Microsoft Body Sense Game Suite Kinect also integrates cloud computing technology, not limited to interactive entertainment, but also to the business sector, such as helping oil engineers around the world to work together to manipulate a 3D map of an oil field. So we have reason to believe that this technology will eventually be integrated into PCs and smartphones.
It's not hard to imagine that with the Kinect's computer manipulation, any movement of the fingers can be accurately positioned as long as the infrared camera can be captured in an effective range. Fingers open, page magnification, hands up and down, page move, hands folded, page closed ... A more natural human-computer interaction in a more natural control interface is not a good thing, but it's just basic. If the Kinect's interactive approach is more widely spread through Windows 8, Apple will not be able to sit idly by.
The Kinect effect is sweeping the globe, not just a product, but a software brand.
