Cloud computing ushered in five birthday mainstream enterprise application is still very long

Despite the hype surrounding cloud computing, there is still a long way to go before mainstream companies can truly embrace and adopt cloud technology.

In addition to Hurricane Irene and the weekend Labor Day, the main focus of the IT industry has been on the VMworld conference in Las Vegas.

At this conference, all kinds of big and small manufacturers will bring their latest virtualization and cloud http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14307.html "> Service products."

In Monday, Dell announced the most explosive news of the Conference, which plans to launch cloud-based infrastructure services based on VMware technology.

Five years after Dell announced the plan, Amazon has announced its beta version of the Elastic Computing Cloud (Elastic Compute Cloud), EC2, probably the first cloud service.

We are here to point out that Dell's new offerings are five years behind Amazon's cloud services, but that does not mean Dell is lagging in the cloud business. Also this year, Hewlett-Packard announced its ambitious announcement that it would focus on the cloud as its business.

The announcements from Dell and Hewlett-Packard's two companies suggest that despite the hype surrounding cloud computing in recent years, there is a long way to go before mainstream companies can use the service.

"Many companies are concerned about hosting enterprise data and applications in a public cloud environment," he said. "Pund analyst Charles King said. "We are still in the early stages of cloud service. ”

It is hard to believe that, in some ways, cloud computing is still in its infancy. It still seems to be a long way from today, when cloud computing is so massive and even overused.

But before 2006, it was hard to find any information about cloud computing. At the time, what people were talking about was the concept of creating requirements, scalability, and measuring resource pools, all in the context of grid computing.

In fact, when Sun Microsystems first opened its public utility computing resources in March 2006, the idea of "network is a computer", which embodied the thinking of the cloud, was called the solar grid. Sun's services allow users to order computing power over the internet and to pay through PayPal.

August 9, 2006, Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive, discussed "an emerging model" at a search engine conference for the first time to propose the concept of cloud computing.

Schmidt then proposed that the new model "takes data services and architectures on the server as a prerequisite." We call it cloud computing-they should be somewhere in the cloud. ”

You can find out what Schmidt was talking about in the John Willis2008 blog post.
