Kai-fu Lee: Google's business model is pure cloud"

Cloud computing is the most fashionable word nowadays. It not only brings about technological changes, but also changes in business models. Not only did Google, IBM, Microsoft, sun, and other IT giants flock together, as did a group of smaller companies. Undoubtedly, cloud computing will be the direction of next-generation Internet technology. Different vendors provide different definitions of cloud computing based on their own advantages and interests. Microsoft proposed the concept of "cloud-end computing", that is, "Cloud" and "end" both have strong computing capabilities. Google believes that almost all the software in the future can be moved to the Internet, and different services will replace the software. Cloud computing will severely weaken the terminal performance, so it emphasizes "Pure cloud ". Who is more in line with the essence of cloud computing? What changes can cloud computing bring to users? Is the "Cloud" of different vendors possible to be integrated together?

Who is more in line with the essence of cloud computing?

Lee Kai-Fu, president of Google China, said in an interview with it168 on Google's 2008 Chinese developer day: "Even people who believe in the cloud need an end. There is no doubt that the client must have an operating system. Google emphasizes "Pure cloud" because Google's business model is "Pure cloud ."

Obviously, Google, as a cloud computing provider and supporter of "Pure cloud", has to admit that it is necessary to "end.

Android is an operating system designed by Google specifically for the "cloud computing" era. Android is open and does not bind Google services. It has a fully functional browser. Although Kai-fu Lee does not think that andriod is simply an end or cloud.

Google knows that when "Pure cloud" cannot be achieved, it is necessary to do some client work on the premise of "Pure cloud". Only in this way can we better connect to the cloud.

In the era of cloud computing, Microsoft's "cloud-end computing" concept may be more in line with the essence of cloud computing. Microsoft tried to acquire Yahoo. It indicates that it has started to look for a growth strategy from the Web. Its goal isInternetSame strategyGoogleSit together. However, Google's position remains unshakable in a short time, and its open platform reflects the essence of the cloud computing model. Although Google has always stressed the importance of "cloud", it does not ignore the necessity of the end.

What changes can cloud computing bring to users?

Kai-fu Lee depicts a future scenario: when the "cloud computing" era comes, people will use cheap "Cloud" devices such as PCs, mobile phones, cars, and even watches through browsers, enter the user name and password to synchronize files, photos, e-mail, videos, music, and application software in "Cloud ......

Kai-Fu Li said: "The best cloud computing is that I don't know what it can do? For users, there is no awareness or cognition at all. "

The future impact of cloud computing may be beyond PC. Because now we can see a contour. When a user has a full-featured browser, any device can perform cloud computing.

Is the cloud of different vendors possible to be integrated in the future?

Many software vendors, such as Google, IBM, Microsoft, sun, and Amazon, frequently develop "cloud plans". Are there any possible integration possibilities for "Clouds" of different vendors? This creates a beautiful and huge "cloud world" together "! Kai-fu Lee pointed out: "The" Cloud "of different manufacturers will not be combined, and each household has its own expertise. Vendors may be compatible with each other based on standards. Standards are very important. The absence of standards is equivalent to the isolation of various vendors, and users cannot enjoy sufficient benefits ."

Cloud computing is not only a technological revolution, but also a revolution in business models. Cloud computing will change the traditional model. In the past, the client's software billing method was one-time. The vast majority of Internet Charging models rely on advertising support.

Changes in an era. When the smartest person moves from one platform to another. The advent of every era has a burden on every company. Can we put it down. Embracing the New Age is a challenge that all companies can encounter.
