20 experts talk about the concept of cloud computing

Although there is still no uniform definition of cloud computing (cloud computing), there are at least 20 voices on cloud computing in the Enterprise IT community. Let's listen to the different views of the industry on cloud computing.





Mark US Klems





Cloud Computing is a buzzword that encompasses development, load balancing, business models, and architectures, the future model of the software industry (Software 10.0), or simply, cloud computing as the Internet-centric software.





Reuven Cohen





Cloud Computing is a web-based service designed to allow users to pay only for the features they need, while eliminating traditional software investments in hardware, software, and expertise. Cloud computing allows users to get their applications out of the complexity of technology and deployment.





Jeff Kaplan





cloud computing will be hot in the next year or two, and people will be able to virtualize and recreate IT applications, creating a service based business model.





Douglas Gourlay





cloud computing refers to a big ambition, basically, to get users to access technical services through the Internet, and now every time I log on to Facebook or search for flights, I actually use cloud computing.





praising Gaw





Cloud Computing is the new Web2.0, a technology-rich market bloom. Cloud computing is a new buzzword, just as people used to put a little Ajax on their websites and claim to be Web2.0.




The positive side of the
is that Web2.0 eventually captures the mainstream eyeball, and similarly, the cloud computing concept will eventually change people's minds, eventually erupting into a variety of concepts, hosting services, ASP, Grid computing, software as a service, platform as a service, anything as a service.





Damon Edwards





Cloud Computing also has a lot of puzzling things, but not so complicated, only three services are based on the "cloud", Saas,paas and cloud computing platform.





Brian de Haaff





from a consumer's perspective, SaaS is a kind of cloud computing, but people in the industry must understand what this means. Simply put, cloud computing is the sublimation of SaaS.





Ben kepes




The original intention of the
cloud model is to let the hardware layer consume like on demand, as needed storage space, and in order to bring more power to the cloud model, we need to implement the configuration, deployment and service in a virtual environment throughout the application architecture.





Kirill Sheynkman





I used to liken cloud computing to a client, we can compare cloud computing to "cloud Chef", I am a chef, responsible for family meals, if my children want to eat Italian food, I will or do or order Italian rice to him, these things may change every day.





Our data center 3.0来 says you can decide whether your application runs locally or in other data centers, and you can change your mind halfway if you find that resources are not enough. In fact, based on automated management, you can change it in real time.





Omar Sultan





cloud computing is about accessing resources and services that require dynamic change. The resources for application and service requests come from the cloud, not the fixed physical entity. The cloud is a virtual resource that can be maintained and managed by itself.





Kevin Hartig





Cloud is a huge pool of resources that you buy on demand; the cloud is virtualized; The cloud can be billed like running water, electricity, gas.





Pritzker





Cloud Computing is a user-friendly grid computing.





Trevor Doerksen





cloud computing means outsourcing, how much you buy, what you need, something that comes from the Internet.





Thorsten von Eicken





to talk about the concept of cloud computing, we need to do it in a historical context, and look at the pioneers of cloud computing and the problems they encounter that will give us some guidance to avoid the same problem.





Paul Wallis





about the distribution of cloud computing, we can borrow the pyramid model. At the top are those apps that only require users to care about what this is, such as Gmail, Hotmail, Quicken online, and so on.





is in the middle of some services, you have increased flexibility and control, but still subject to some restrictions, Google App Engine, Heroku, Mosso, Engine Yard, Joyent or force.com (SalesForce Platform) A class of applications is counted in this category.





at the bottom are some architectures such as Amazon EC2, Gogrid, Rightscale and Linode.





Michael Sheehan





Web and blogging world boom makes people believe that any application can go to the web, in fact, some are possible, but most of them are not. Reliability, scalability, security, and a host of problems will prevent most companies from putting their core business into the cloud, and if that happens, the cost of the problem will be very high.





Amazon is the leader in cloud computing, but even Amazon has a lot of problems, and cloud computing needs to be perfected, and it needs to take longer than most estimates.





Don Dodge





Today's high-speed networks, high-performance graphics processors, fast but inexpensive servers and storage allow engineers to focus more and more computing power on data centers, and 10 years ago researchers created the concept of grid computing, and cloud computing would be stronger.





Aaron Ricadela





when we provide virtual technology to people who do not know computer technology, we want to be virtual or hidden complexity. Most people want to deal with applications or services, not software. For cloud computing, we want the software itself to be virtual or hidden behind the system or professionals, or behind the cloud.





Irving Wladawsky Berger





in my opinion, cloud computing is a way to provide users with a WEB service based on the previous applications that require a lot of hardware and software investment and professional skills.
