What does cloud computing bring to you?

 

 

This article is selected from Academician Li deyi, a book titled cloud computing: The business platform of the 21st century.

 

What is cloud computing? If you come to read this book with this question, search for "cloud computing" on the Internet to see how many different explanations you can get, the diversity of answers indicates that the industry's understanding and understanding of cloud computing are inadequate.

 

From the current perspective, cloud computing can be roughly summarized as powerful information resources on some nodes on the Internet, including storage resources, computing resources, software resources, data resources, and management resources, cloud computing becomes a dynamic and scalable virtual resource for users in the form of services on the Internet. It emphasizes demand-driven, user-led, on-demand service, and pay-as-you-go. Once used, the service is dispersed without centralized control. users do not care about where the service provider is.

 

Cloud computing is the rapid development of computer processor technology, communication technology, and storage technology, the popularization of virtualization computing technology, and the transformation of software to services, it is an epoch-making technology that will inevitably emerge in the context of Internet globalization.

 

From the perspective of implementation, cloud computing is complex and constantly changing, which brings many complexity challenges to the software industry and more potential opportunities. From the perspective of use, cloud computing is easy-to-use, high-performance, and low-cost. Users of all sizes can obtain their own needs. The information infrastructure of cloud computing can better adapt to changes in user scale and needs, ordinary users have the opportunity to use the most powerful computing resources and contribute their personal wisdom and devices. From the perspective of resource allocation, cloud computing can promote communication and sharing, rationalize the utilization of computing, storage, and network resources.

 

Cloud computing is not nothing, but we are already in the cloud. For enterprise users, the cloud computing era has arrived. The early U. S. has already had many success stories. In China, enterprise applications of cloud computing have also started. It can be said that the introduction of this book is just right. Based on his rich experience in technology management and business, the author explores the business revolution caused by cloud computing. We can hardly find that the author has obviously made a lot of efforts to avoid this book from becoming a boring technical book. To this end, he attempted to explain the background, advantages, applicability, and relationship between cloud computing and business models from a commercial perspective. In addition, the author's global vision and profound understanding of business models are worth pondering. In today's era of increasingly globalized competition, if enterprises in China want to grow and expand, globalization is inevitable. When discussing cloud computing, the author focuses on cost saving and efficiency improvement. More importantly, he shows us that organizing a company in the "Cloud" mode has become a necessity of globalization. The author's novel perspective is indeed worthy of peer Study in China. It provides a new example for Chinese companies to go abroad and become truly global enterprises.

 

I think this book is a timely and good reference for users who want to know the value and impact of cloud computing.

Introduction

Taking the financial crisis that has affected the world since the 21st century as an example, this book shows that the business environment of enterprises is often subject to dramatic and unexpected changes. This situation is more obvious due to globalization. To cope with this new situation, enterprises should work hard to reduce costs and increase flexibility. A new technology, cloud computing, is designed to cope with this new situation. To this end, the author elaborated on various opportunities and irrefutable competitive advantages brought about by cloud computing from the aspects of company operations, enterprise innovation, and organizational structure, therefore, cloud has become a stage of competition in the 21st century.
