Tian: three major technical factors to promote cloud computing development

[Guide] at 2011 Ufida Technology Conference, China Broadband industry fund chairman Tian said, bandwidth, software and large data volume three major factors will promote the development of cloud computing.

Bit network reporter on the scene as a technology event in the IT industry, 2011 Ufida Congress has more than 1200 elite participants, insight into the trend of cloud computing development, share cloud services brought about by the business changes, and jointly explore how to become efficient, innovative, green "cloud enterprise." Dr Tian, chairman of China's broadband industry fund, said three major factors, bandwidth, software and big data, would drive the development of cloud computing.

The following is the full text of Dr. Tian's speech:

Cloud computing technology revolution, for us, we still feel very exciting thing. I would like to share with you, if we use the word "revolution" to describe the cloud, what is the motive of the revolution, what background is the foundation of this technological revolution, I think one of the most important impetus is the change of broadband. We think 10 years ago, we talked about the ASP model, our bandwidth is only 64K, in such a bandwidth, you can not transfer the software long-distance, it is impossible to put the CPU, hard disk in the remote Data center, but the changes in broadband, especially the emergence of the optical fiber revolution, in the past decade, 15 years, Make large-scale transmissions possible from long distances. Today's PC needs no hard disk, CPU, and fiber can be downloaded from the Internet. The key to cloud change is the advent of the broadband era.

The second change is the revolution in software. We used to liken a CPU to the human brain, software in the past 10 years or so of the development of software virtualization is a single CPU together, in the past we say together to do big things, each small CPU together, due to the emergence of virtualization software, so that large-scale calculation possible, Virtualization software may have such a process in the past 10 years or so. We often say that the internet company PE is high, but we look at the virtualization of the company, its PE than internet companies are still high, 90 times times, 100 times times. Why? Virtualization becomes the core of technology, and a large stack of small CPUs and even less powerful CPUs are connected to accomplish even greater things.

The third driving force is the advent of the massive data age, which is largely related to the Internet. We never imagined a time like today when we lived in a world of so many data. Jerry Yang told me that Yahoo Mail appeared very fast, to 10 million users around the time, how it can use a very cheap way to send free email to everyone, so large-scale data on how to deal with. The demand for this data swaps the emergence of a new generation of software architectures, we do cloud computing today all know that is in the Yahoo era large data generation, so, a change of technological innovation, technology development process, like lenient, like virtualization software, more important is the emergence of demand, Our entire society is entering a time of massive data.

Two days ago I read that article, according to our ideal, we put each person's life data to record, our various physiological data, the books we like to read, the jobs we write, the data that are very important to our lives, are stored, a person's lifetime will have 1000 T data, is a P data. Therefore, the era of large data, like the Industrial Revolution, is becoming a part of the development of society as a whole. Another big reason for this change is that many applications are already on the cloud. Many of us today say Yunshan, but many people who use Yahoo email are using apps, which is cloud. The mode of applying the store today, whether it's an apple or a lot of Android today, we think about, very typical cloud architecture, when needed, I download down, most of the applications in the cloud Walk, may be Taiwan's better translation, "cloud", we look at the world's hottest companies, the best applications, Almost all are in the architecture of the cloud, there is a side, and you are very close, do not need to be very big, and the cloud behind the very complex. This change, just because we saw Yahoo Mail today, Google Mail, today's App Store, the fuse of cloud revolution began to ignite.

Prairie, I began to see changes in cloud technology three years ago, it's been a while in Silicon Valley every summer, and I feel like starting in 2010, this fuse has been ignited and turned into the prairie of the Great revolution, and it's very important that we see new companies emerging at every level of the IT architecture in the past, prairie. Chips have a new generation of chips to appear, whether it is am open source Road, or the next generation of X86 chip to break the traditional Intel architecture, we see the emergence of this innovative SaaS software company, the emergence of the next generation of server companies, this server is not the past simple standard server, and toward a customized server, Even with AM, the emergence of a new generation of exchange companies, we are more important to see a lot of big traditional enterprises have seen this change is not willing to do, but must be a choice.

The advent of a change has a lot to do with the media. The most important cover story of this March Businessweek is the Cloud Revolution. So, we have an era of change, is getting closer, I believe that cloud computing, we will be in five years, or ten years later, we come back, as we think of 30 years ago, the PC Revolution, 15 years ago the Internet revolution, as we are not only in the lives of the CIO, It is an indispensable part of every person in the modern civilization of everyday life.

Why is a cloud change so important that people use the word revolution to describe the technological change in cloud computing? I think all the changes, all the core of the Revolution three, the first is cheap, this is cheaper than the past, the PC era is a revolution, much cheaper than the host, I remember that we go to college to the main room to wear white coats, to set the time, and now cheaper than in the past very much. Cheap is a very important core of change. I have just seen the China Telecom of the Almighty, think of 15 ago, when called China Telecom, I believe we were in the push email, do telecom people to email this system is not to disagree, because this specification of TCP/IP, this so-called standard and the traditional telecommunications OSI standards have many problems, But Chinamail pushed for a long time not to get up, why email success, TCP/IP success? is simply cheap. Today we see cloud computing is very important feature is mutation, I made a few points, the future of the cloud computing revolution should be the end of tens of thousands of dollars, 1000-1500 of billions into the next 1000 yuan of the audience, the future of many kinds of terminals, all is a monitor, with sand to do, Now the complex structure of a large factor is with the CPU, and software has a relationship. Complex software may not be required in the future, no complicated processor, from tens of thousands of dollars down to 1000 dollars below, storage costs, now a lot of storage with the cloud, from now tens of thousands of dollars to thousands of dollars, a T storage, data center costs, we used to build data centers need a few billion, The cheap magnitude of the revolution is a number of revolutions, one-tenth of revolutions, the cloud has such a characteristic. In addition, it becomes simple and convenient. Why is it so popular today from a complex desktop to a pad? is convenient. Software used to be very complex, why the so-called use of things so popular, is simple and convenient. My mother never used a PC, but when I bought her pad, I learned it in two hours. Is easy.

The future change is still controllable, we enjoy the Internet very much information today, but people still feel a lot of problems, information is not organized, is fragmented, we today to the application store why do we feel better? Because many applications have been selected. I believe that the change of any era or the emergence of values, it needs to be edited, this content needs to be reorganized, need to be edited. Otherwise, in human history, so many great works have been enjoyed by us today, whether it is a dream of red mansions or Tolstoy's works are not rely on micro-blog, SMS simple way to come out, creating a need for a long-term process. Therefore, the future content in the cloud in the end of the era, the information to become a knowledge of the process of control and management to edit the process of mining. Therefore, the essence of this change should go in this direction.

If the industrial revolution and it compared, we can be inspired, the mainframe era is like the steam engine era, very complex, very large. The PC revolution is much like an internal combustion engine. The final result of the Industrial revolution is the emergence of the electrification era, very simple and convenient, like today's electricity, we were young to say what is Communism, "electrification + collectivization", the revolution of electricity so that the industrial Revolution basically to the point, I think the cloud era is the focus of it, after the cloud changes Perhaps the CIO's work is less important, and today's completion of the change CIO is the most important job. It is a certain result of the future is very convenient and simple, today is too complex, are engineers in a technological change in the middle of the more complex product, each structure is the language of technology, the future will certainly be like electricity, like water as cheap.

The age of cloud, if the host of the Times like Primitive society, we take water from the lake, the PC like rural each have a well, their own CPU, their own memory, so, I now see the PC feel that this architecture is very absurd, the cloud is like to the city as soon as the tap on the tap is running. So, in the age of clouds, we look back at history as if from an internal combustion engine to electrification. The change we think about is also to use this to encourage everyone, why is this change in history, China has a very big opportunity? The main thing is that we have a big market. If we use the Industrial revolution for example, the early inventors of the industrial Revolution were mainly British Europe, steel was invented by the British, the steam engine was invented by Watt, only the size of its country dozens of times times larger than Europe, the large-scale application and innovation, the emergence of Edison, GE, Ford, China from the historical perspective, Very much like the United States of a half-century or two centuries ago, full of momentum, full of opportunities, the most important we have a large-scale application to solve. Because of the problems of China's modernization or it, we must go out of a "cheap, convenient, controllable" structure, in order to solve the large-scale data we face, we face the small and medium-sized enterprises very simple to the era of the machine. Such corporate influence belongs to China. In the past, we have seen the era of the Internet, seize the application of China, has built up the world's largest Internet companies, I think the opportunity of cloud computing, we can seize the opportunity to do it in the fundamental architecture, from chip to server to exchange, to the operating system, To a variety of applications to get out of China's world of influential enterprises, I feel that the current change, political change we are very cautious, but this technological revolution we as the Chinese people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we should open our hands warm hug.

I saw this change three years ago and practiced some we and the Beijing Municipal Commission together to engage in a cloud base, I through the investment method, in the server storage base software, operating system, system integration has done a series of exploration and investment, this investment has just begun, we have invested nine companies, a year or so of time, This year should be able to do about 600 million yuan. The main factor is to seize such a time, such an opportunity for us is very rare, very important time.

I finally want to communicate with you, I first met with Wen Jing is 1995, he is still a very small company, I do Baishiqiao is very small company, we were thinking of the era of the internet will bring what? We were younger than this year, more open than today, and of course we have no resources like today. But I think today, if we go back to 15, we make a mistake, although we have achieved certain achievements, our imagination, courage and determination is not enough, how we did not imagine that the Internet will become today such a scale, will change our lives so quickly. Today, our generation is very fortunate to see a PC revolution, like the Internet revolution, what we should do, we are not as young as before, we can not have the imagination of youth, we can not have the courage to embrace this revolution, This is an era of technological change that we are here to face, and we need to reflect on ourselves, and we need to re-establish that confidence. I have no doubt that and share it with you. This change is the most important it architecture since the PC Revolution, to embrace this revolution, the most important thing is to give up the traditional ideas of the past, the traditional architecture, with greater courage, more enthusiasm to embrace it. Thank you very much.
