Apple's share price fell more than 5% after Mr. Jobs stopped being CEO of Apple. It was Steve Jobs who created and made Apple the first company to market capitalisation. People are worried about whether Apple will continue to be brilliant without jobs.
Some analysts point out that the key to Apple's success is not to inherit Apple's consistent product beauty, but its App store, which completely changes the entire industry's rules of the game. Mobile phones, for example, before the advent of the iphone, many mobile phones can also surf the internet, but because the content is not for the "mobile" characteristics of the design, the Internet behavior has not been universal, and the advent of the App Store, so many content or software vendors have a direct interaction with users of the new platform
Apple's App Store has become the starting point for mobile internet apps, "says Lu Junquan, a senior analyst at Gartner Mobile Communications." The new profit model that follows the app Store has made software developers profitable, and consumers have been given multiple services and content, and they have found the power to surf the web. Users can not only call, play games, but also download videos, take photos, and then immediately upload to the blog to share with friends, as long as press a key, you can easily complete the shopping, or even the phone as a life remote controller, the management of household electrical appliances use.
With the user experience + Rich app, Apple keeps making myths. The myth behind it is the huge trend of the irreversible development of mobile cloud computing.
Mobile Internet + Cloud computing
July 2009 Abiresearch launched a research report, proposed the "Mobile cloud computing" concept, the combination of mobile internet and cloud computing is more and more people's attention. Today, a pair of cloud computing + mobile Internet is really coming. From hardware acquisition, software delivery to platform operation, it is bound to be a new concept and service model submitted to the end user. In the new round of shuffle movement, this kind of service delivery carrier or the path (terminal) energy needs to be released as far as possible, can support cloud computing scale development superiority. Under this driving force, various terminals and terminal embedded intelligent operating system has been springing into a lot of research and development power, Nokia Motorola and other popular brands began to rely on smartphones, new intelligent operating system (Android, Bada, WindowsPhone7, etc.), new terminal form ( Tablet computers) are also emerging. Sony, Amazon and Intel have all recently disclosed their tablet plans.
Mobile Internet terminals in the terminal can not provide similar PC-like hardware support to do all kinds of powerful operations, and demand is rich, this determines that mobile Internet applications must have a strong server resources to do support.
In this respect, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Electronic Society Cloud Computing Experts committee chairman Li Deii in the third session of the Cloud Computing Congress staged report site pointed out: mobile Internet and cloud computing are complementary. Through the establishment of IAAS, PAAs Generation, SaaS application, through cloud computing technology, software and hardware for unprecedented intensive application, people can reach the home or the office in the face of complex PC still can not achieve the function and speed. Both businesses and individuals, through cloud computing services can be more convenient for mobile internet age. Companies that have mastered the core technologies of cloud computing will undoubtedly gain greater initiative in the mobile internet age.
Century Interconnection Data Center Co., Ltd. (21vianetgroup,inc. Century interconnection Nasdaq:vnet) experts believe that mobile internet due to the application of the characteristics of natural compliance with the cloud "on-demand" characteristics. Coffee, hotels, including karaoke, guaranteed fast-food restaurants, if there is no WiFi, like a facility without air-conditioning, the number of smartphones will surpass the PC for the first time, which means that the entire mobile device, mobile terminals, mobile internet trends will have far-reaching impact on the infrastructure.
IDC in the cloud computing
IDC is the most important infrastructure of cloud computing and the core of the "resource pool" of cloud computing. In the three modes of Cloud computing SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, IaaS is the foundation. Under the influence of cloud computing concept, traditional IDC is transforming to CDC (Cloud Data Center) and providing cloud computing business for Enterprise and consumer.
The positive effect of cloud computing on IDC is obvious. The existing IDC main business domain also concentrates in the host hosting, the bandwidth rents and so on basic service, these domain competition already is very intense, but to the network Security Service, the service and the data storage and so on value-added service direction development is the future IDC development inevitable trend.
Cloud computing can greatly reduce the cost of business through good scalability and scale effect, thus creating better conditions for IDC to expand its business. For example, through cloud computing, IDC can consolidate multiple physical servers to the same physical server, reduce the cost of 40% software and hardware, increase the average utilization of each server, and effectively reduce operating costs including data center space, cabinet, network cable, power consumption, air-conditioning and human cost. IDC's business deployment time will be greatly reduced, server rebuilding and application loading time is also greatly shortened, hardware maintenance, upgrades will be strengthened, equipment outage probability will be greatly reduced, help IDC Center to establish the relationship between business and resources, so that the existing IDC resources and business priorities corresponding, All servers can be uniformly scheduled and managed as resource pools and dynamically allocated on demand.
The deployment of cloud computing, for customers is more convenient to use easier to pay, but for IDC Enterprises, is indeed a higher challenge, the need for IDC enterprises in technology innovation, operation and maintenance management, resource deployment to put forward higher challenges. In this respect, Century interconnection, mobile internet access, will slowly become a major access mode, because access to smart phone terminals will be far more than the number of PCs, traditional access in the past will slowly reduce the number, so that the mobile Internet, WiFi access and now all the content, such as IDC, Including how large data centers are connected can have far-reaching implications and changes for the entire Internet-supported technology architecture. The next-generation data center will be a data center based on a mobile internet model, and it will be at the core of a large modular datacenter with fiber optic infrastructure, and it should be able to service terminals that are capable of IPv6, including services such as intelligent video terminals.
