VMware: The three key areas of cloud computing need to be innovated

There are several important trends in cloud computing in the 2011 that deserve attention. First, the cloud-building model will tend to be pragmatic. Since 2010, more and more enterprises have chosen to take the lead in building private cloud and hybrid cloud to achieve cloud computing in a gradual and pragmatic way. In fact, for most businesses, the "public cloud" or "private cloud" is not an either-or-two option, usually a combination of the so-called "hybrid cloud". "Hybrid Cloud" is the most practical way to cloud computing.

Second, the catalytic effect of virtualization on cloud computing will become increasingly apparent. Now, more and more enterprises have realized that virtualization is the key element of cloud computing from the dream to reality.

Third, the three key areas of cloud computing need to be innovated. Although cloud computing covers a wide range, it is often divided into three levels: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS. Today, businesses desperately need a new infrastructure model. In the new paradigm, enterprise it has instead built a pool of logical pools of enterprise data Center resources in conjunction with external clouds and internal cloud provider resources, without any impact on security or quality of service. For consumers of IT services, they will have access to almost unlimited resources, on-demand services and cost structure and performance levels consistent with business priorities.

In addition, larger changes in the future will occur in the platform layer and the application layer. Today, it is necessary to build a new cloud application platform to make more full use of virtualization and cloud infrastructure to ensure legacy applications and next-generation applications. Future application development should meet the requirement that application developers can immediately deploy these applications to modern platforms after they have developed excellent applications. Modern platforms can be reconfigured on demand and run and extend applications strategically and intelligently. With regard to SaaS services, although it has been applied in many enterprises, the final delivery of applications is problematic. On the one hand, employees want secure access to applications and data from any device terminal, and the IT department needs to develop the increasingly diverse data centers and applications needed for business operations, and ultimately to change end-user computing.

Over the next few years, IT service patterns are becoming more mainstream: the first stage is to cloud service provider as the main body, whether it is operators, public cloud service providers, Hu networking content service providers, they will be based on the application of the introduction of paid services; the second step, the service provider service model fees for the basis of expansion of cooperation, will be up and down the soft , hardware manufacturers all integrated together to achieve upstream and downstream on-demand cooperation, on-demand billing mode of cooperation, of course, to achieve this requires strong technical support, including the user's import, the proportion of resources and so on.
