"Explain to me" what is the relationship between cloud computing and pork?

The latest hot topic at the end of the year is the spring Festival and traffic jams. BEIJING, like New York and Tokyo, is also suffering from "heart disease", which has become a veritable "first block" in China, and the gambling scheme announced today is "license plate numbering". Beijing Gesanchaiwu's big traffic jams do make the city's white-collar workers have a bit of a tangle.

The most troubling of the internet and it practitioners is a new concept-cloud computing.

The concept of cloud computing has been discussed for years, especially in the last year. Each line of opinion leaders, corporate executives have their own ideas, some people say that cloud computing is virtualization, some people say that cloud computing is grid computing, some people think that the private cloud is a trend, others are more optimistic about the public cloud. At home and abroad also floated a number of enterprises cloud, from Amazon and Google, from IBM to Apple, everyone is talking about the cloud, but the outsider, cloud computing technology is high, and cloud concept makes people foggy, unintelligible.

Microsoft provides an operating system for most computer users and is one of the active advocates of cloud computing, often ahead of new technology. December 22, Microsoft China's vice president and marketing strategy Department general manager Sun Jiandong and media peers chatted about cloud computing. This cloud concept leaves a deep impression on the media, which is linked to two things that people are most familiar with: one is pork and the other is Chinese.

What's the relationship between pork and cloud computing?

What does cloud computing have to do with pork? This is a typical case of cooperation between Microsoft and the Chengdu municipal government in the field of cloud computing.

People eat pork every day, the most concern is the food safety and pork quality. A pig from production to make vegetables, including production, breeding, slaughtering, sales, rough, production, edible n links, a link out of the mistake may let bad pork into the market.

The most direct way is to record the direction of each pig's pork: At present, the whole Sichuan province a year of live pig slaughter in about 100 million, every year to enter Chengdu City center of Pigs at least 10 million, Chengdu Municipal government in order to test the trend of pigs, especially the establishment of a "pork quality and safety traceability supervision system", Let the vast majority of pigs through binding RFID traceability chip has the only "ID number", uninterrupted information collection, inquiries and data supervision, to ensure the safety of pork production and circulation.

This is a fairly large IT project, only Chengdu's 10 million pigs in the IT infrastructure investment, experts estimated that the total cost of 6 million or so, which is equivalent to each pig equal to 0.6 yuan, pork safety of it cost is not low. But the final solution, in keeping the computing power unchanged, reduced the total cost by as much as 2.7 million. In this scheme, the Chengdu government has used Microsoft's private cloud computing program.

After a comprehensive evaluation of several vendors ' solutions, Chengdu adopted Microsoft's private cloud solution, combining the dawning High-performance hardware server platform, database service platform SQL Server, and virtualization technology to build the Chengdu Cloud computing service platform. and through Microsoft System Center to achieve the entire private cloud platform and Dynamic Data center infrastructure, application management. Under this framework, the limited resources are fully utilized to the pork quality and safety traceability supervision system in various applications, and ensure the smooth and stable operation of each application.

10 million pigs, regardless of the pork out of the problem, as long as the root source can find all aspects of the responsible person, from production to aquaculture, slaughter to sales and processing of all aspects, who has a problem who is responsible even a check in the end. "Pork quality and safety traceability supervision system" since August 2010 the official line, the average load of around 40%, has been stable operation of more than 2000 hours; According to the Chengdu pork quality and safety traceability monitoring System staff, the system has run, Chengdu, the number of private slaughter of pork has decreased by 35%, The public's satisfaction with pork was 1.57% higher than in 08.

So, you can not care about cloud computing, do not care about the concept of professional and specific deployment, but you do not care about the import of pork, not to worry about the safety of pork, when Microsoft's private cloud solution to make all this simple and efficient implementation, cloud computing is still worthy of our attention and expectations.

Microsoft Cloud computing: Very power!

Microsoft's cloud computing can be linked to pork, stating that the concept of "cloud computing" is not only floating in the air, but also landing. Perhaps the word "cloud" is too abstract for the Chinese to be quite cool with cloud computing. Microsoft is the active promoter of cloud computing, and this is not only technical, but also the promotion of localization.

Recently, on many it websites there will be a Microsoft Cloud computing ads, from "Yun Christie dynamic" four powerful calligraphy composition. In the era of print and digital devices flying, such a few antique brush characters appear particularly eye-catching. It's said that the four-word idea comes from a Microsoft advertising agency. At a conference, Microsoft's Sun Jiandong and advertising agency said the four-word origins: One is, these four words have "cloud"; second, these four words represent different stages of different cloud computing.

Cultivation: Represents Microsoft's work in the operating system and cloud computing in the past more than 10 years. Sun Jiandong, vice president of Microsoft China and marketing Strategy Department, said that Microsoft invested 9 billion dollars a year in research and development, and that 70% of capital investment is related to the cloud, and will increase to 90% in the future. "Microsoft is serious about cloud computing, and Microsoft has 300,000 customers worldwide, in public or private clouds." ”

Brewing: It means that Microsoft has a full range of solutions to meet the cloud needs of different companies. Microsoft's five steps in cloud computing are: Authentication, server virtualization, building a unified data center, creating services on a cloud platform, and finally migrating data to a cloud platform. The aforementioned Chengdu "pork quality and safety traceability supervision system", Shanghai Innovation Center, Beijing animation industry needs of large-scale computing animation task, many are on the Microsoft Cloud computing platform.

Power: Microsoft's slogan for promoting cloud computing around the world is "Cloud power", the strength of the cloud, in China's landmark calligraphy, "move" just and "power" corresponds to, and very Chinese characteristics, Microsoft to promote the dynamics of cloud computing, to apply a popular word, really is "very strong."

Convergence: Convergence, careful fusion, smooth transition. Many companies have a variety of cloud computing needs, but how to smooth the transition from his existing enterprise architecture to cloud computing, protect his existing investment, save money, this is Microsoft for many companies in the development of cloud computing solutions, the primary consideration. "Cloud computing is not to push back, not a lot of money, but a smooth transition," when the line of speculation in the cloud concept, Sun Jiandong "save money Theory" rather than "money theory" view, in the domestic moved a lot of entrepreneurial companies.

Cloud computing and pork safety can be linked to a common understanding of the remote cloud, but this is only a typical case of the Microsoft hundreds of thousands of cloud computing project. As Sun Jiandong said, Microsoft now has to "power" cloud computing, so now the "cloud" is the most missing is the "force."

In the author's opinion, four words "will" is the ultimate goal of cloud computing: all enterprises will use cloud computing. Moreover, the first three words, are "cloud" as a radical, and "will" represents the people in the "cloud", and is no longer a writing enterprise to stay in "parrot" on the "will" on.
