Cloud computing into the Internet

Security issues have not yet been resolved, the concept of cloud computing all decisions, the battlefield has been chaos. Many of them are giant companies like Google, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft, and Sun Microsystems. The benefits of entering the market as early as possible are obvious: it has won a good preconception and attracted a great deal of attention from academia and industry. Through technological development and operation with the academic community. More importantly, cloud computing is considered the key to pushing users from the desktop to the Internet, entering new battlefields and who want to win battlefields.

So it's easy to understand why Amazon and Sun are joining the competition so aggressively. In 2007, Amazon.com opened up a service called "Flexible Computer Cloud" to developers, enabling small software companies to purchase the Amazon data center processing capabilities on demand. Sun introduced the Black Box initiative, which is based on cloud computing theory and claims that future data centers will no longer be confined to crowded and stuffy machines, but rather mobile containers that companies can move to Including "suburbs", including various places, reduce the cost of the engine room.

Microsoft and Google are the most important players in this race. As we all know, from the beginning of Gmail, Google has been trying to challenge the authority of Microsoft by eradicating Microsoft's "desktop as the king" by providing the computing power and service provided by the Internet to users. Google promotes its cloud computing platform with an open-source gesture, which means users can get the code for this platform and modify it. This is seen as a useful way to promote cloud computing. Schmidt is even more optimistic that he believes that "90% of computing tasks can be accomplished through cloud computing."

In the face of Google's challenge, Microsoft tried to connect hundreds of millions of Windows users and provide them with cloud computing based on Windows Live, and online storage was a crucial step for Microsoft, said Bill Gates in the summer of 2007 : "When you think of storage, you think about Windows Live."

Blue giant IBM is also bored to join in: joint venture and Google to establish a data center to support the Carnegie Mellon University, MIT, Stanford, University of California at Berkeley, University of Maryland and Washington University, six universities Computer science researchers funded and promoted cloud computing research and launched the Blue Cloud Blue Cloud initiative at a high profile in August 2007. The program means a combination of computer and software products that bring the company's data center closer to the Internet and expects to release the first product in spring 08. Willy Chiu, BM's vice president of high-performance solutions, said that "cloud computing will be one of IBM's next priorities." At present, more than 200 R & D personnel have been deployed in the research of this business.

Why not? IBM has a unique advantage: application server, storage, management software, everything available. Even more beneficial is the fact that IBM can bypass this barrier to data transfer from the local to the Internet by developing a cloud computing solution and terminal for its customers and building a data center of their own cloud computing model for the business A plan.

The view that cloud computing has been touted, but also reflects the wrestling supercomputer market. Supercomputer applications were once faced with extremely high barriers to entry due to the need for expensive hardware investments. Cloud computing, however, promised the possibility of providing supercomputing services at a low cost. Once cloud computing has been widely promoted, it is optimistic that the supercomputer market The spring is coming, which will be revitalized.
