In recent years cloud computing has been developing in full swing, and the famous quote of IBM Legendary CEO Thomas Watson, "only 5 computers in the world" will become a reality. Some experts even assert that, with the rise of large computing services such as Amazon, Google and Rackspace, all forms of computing would inevitably migrate to the public cloud of these companies.
But let's not be fooled by the momentum of these massive public clouds. Although these industry giants ' influence and market share is huge, but for other forms of cloud, there is a lot of space and demand for development. The trend of cloud computing is necessarily the parallel development of many kinds of cloud, the future will be mixed cloud world. The user will use the public cloud, private cloud, custom cloud, professional cloud, local cloud, high performance cloud, low cost cloud, high reliability cloud, specific technology cloud or specific application cloud, etc. all you can imagine cloud alone or in combination. The form of cloud computing will change in myriad ways and no longer adhere to the position of the cloud.
Amazon or the industry giant a lone catastrophe to achieve
Amazon's performance in developing cloud computing potential is commendable. It has made people realize that this kind of instant availability, low unit cost, on-demand purchase of new computing form opened the door to new innovation. Amazon Cloud Computing initially served the Amazon (Amazon.com), and the company then showed the world the strength of the new technology, which undoubtedly became the dominant technology in the future computing field.
But cloud computing will end up far beyond the reach of any company, and not just a single cloud category. Does this show that large public clouds will fade away? Of course not. They will be larger than ever and meet the needs of users. But users ' different needs will grow far beyond their capabilities, so users turn to the hybrid cloud architecture, "looking for a corresponding cloud for different needs", which can also reduce costs while improving reliability and performance.
The era of mixed clouds is coming
Open source Cloud operating system--openstack will help the hybrid cloud era (OpenStack is developed by Rackspace and NASA). It's a mix of cloud innovation and growing impetus, far more than any cloud provider. It will also help build a fully open cloud ecosystem, from open hardware devices to Open-source services like Hadoop and Cassandra. This is the power of open cloud computing, creating a cloud world that is needed whenever and wherever it is used.
User needs no Limit service no end
Cloud computing has made computing an integral part of every business, non-profit organization, and even personal life. In the business world, not only in the Internet, but also in health care, manufacturing, education and many other industries, companies will use computing to complete the next level of customer interaction. Amazon now dominates the cloud computing landscape and is rapidly innovating to launch new products and services. But will this meet the needs of everyone in the world? Let's look at some of the following questions:
· Do you now need to optimize the cloud space for the GPU that serves the graphics interface?
· Does Hollywood need an optimized local cloud to generate files and make large files easier to move?
· Does Nigeria need cloud computing to promote social development?
· Does Exxon Mobil need a private cloud to run its programs inside the house?
· Health care, does every hospital need to build cloud computing?
· Does the FBI need to control cloud computing (why not?)?
· Does the database need a custom cloud to achieve optimal operation?
These problems are endless, and users ' new needs are endless. For cloud computing, there will always be new requirements, new cloud types will be born in the cloud, so as to meet the needs of users.
