Can the technology of SaaS and cloud computing be achieved altogether?

Subversion

in the area of management software, the rise of SaaS has a great impact on traditional software, although SaaS is not perfect, but the combination with cloud computing shows unstoppable momentum. The banner of the "Traditional management software Terminator", which is the first to be played by 800 of customers, also seems to be a sign of the traditional software's status being shaken.

With the change of consumption and service mode, the traditional software market is developing more and more tired, the demand has begun to shrink, and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11962.html "> Consumer demand for Internet software has begun to flourish. In particular, SaaS and cloud computing combine to completely subvert the pattern of traditional software. Cloud computing can be a good complement to SaaS: SaaS emphasizes the final application, and cloud computing focuses on leveraging the underlying architecture and resources to help SaaS providers solve resource-poor problems such as hardware or bandwidth, and to reduce costs. The

is affected by the trend of technology development, and some software managers are also planning to change in order to develop. Like rising anti-virus software, has tried the water Internet service mode. When users try and apply the new service mode, they accept the new working mode and method, which can simplify the user's complicated business processing, improve the working efficiency and reduce the operating cost.

The SaaS model is now impacting traditional software. The SaaS model has a feature of platform and modularity. In other words, the common functions of enterprises are designed into a module, the realization of the same platform on the virtual system. Enterprises only need to according to their own taste, financial strength to order. If food is not enough at last, it can still be mended. Because the function of the subsequent complement is on the same platform as the previous function, so it is very simple to realize the integration and work together between different functions and modules.

Winning geometry?

Admittedly, the marriage of SaaS and Cloud computing is a selling point. But what are the odds of a SaaS vendor leveraging cloud computing? Through the data, you can see the cooperation between the two sides more tacit understanding, the situation of a win.

It is reported that the number of users is growing after the SaaS vendor has applied cloud computing. To create the SaaS service model saleforce.com, cloud computing business has 55,400 enterprise users worldwide, and the news "saleforce.com from the Cloud", it also shows that Saleforce.com's success, and the application of cloud computing has a lot to do. At home, China's first SaaS manufacturer, which also uses the cloud computing architecture, has reached 6,000 subscribers in 2009.

Of course, the Alliance of SaaS and Cloud computingMarriage is based on complementarity, meaning that SaaS differs from cloud computing. From the service type, SaaS provides users with software services, while cloud computing prefers to rent out network resources. Looking at the cloud-end system from the user scale, SaaS is currently focused on small and medium sized users, while cloud computing is dominated by large users. From the manufacturers themselves, currently involved in cloud computing, such as IBM, Microsoft, Yahoo, Amazon, Sun, EMC and other manufacturers, generally have a considerable size, and have their own data centers, and SaaS vendors to enter the threshold is relatively low. According to the survey, most SaaS vendors do not have dedicated data centers, even if they are too small to call "a cloud," which also leads to questions about the security of SaaS, which is often thought to be less secure than cloud computing.

to have the ability to provide cloud computing services, in addition to the "hard quality" of the improvement, in the "soft quality" on the increase. "Many SaaS providers advertise their" cloud computing, "says Peter Saleforce.com," but you need to see exactly where they want to go, because it takes a lot of technical investment to get in the direction of cloud computing. " If they offer only a standardized service and are not very expensive, they should also be a traditional SaaS provider, but if they want to upgrade to a highly customizable service, they need more investment and technology development, and in a sense they are moving toward a service that is "cloud computing."
