Future development of virtualization and cloud computing

when the year comes, industry practices tend to review past years and look ahead. This year is no exception. I have to say this is a very meaningful habit. year is a receipt for VMware, but we also know that this is not the end point. Our time is a time of rapid change and constant innovation, and there are some exciting things that are happening every day. Now let's look at the current situation in virtualization and cloud computing and the important direction of future development.

IT new level of domain layering era coming

> We're going through an interesting historical turning point. vmware -- -

But we also realize that unless we have forward-looking thinking, we will be treated as clients - the end of the server era, not the next era - the opening chapter of the cloud computing age. We believe that a fundamental shift is now taking place in this area -- cloud computing is actually a new horizontal hierarchy in the IT domain.

This new horizontal hierarchy includes three levels of infrastructure, application tier, and end user interface. We believe that profound changes have taken place in all three levels. Simply put, the infrastructure is fundamentally transformed into a new, more automated layer ; applications are also changing the way they are developed ; Finally, the way in which application results are delivered to end users is changing.

year, VMware has launched many heavyweight products and services in the three-tier architecture of cloud computing infrastructure and management, cloud application platforms, and end-user computing. 7 month Day, the company rolled out including VMware vsphere 5 , VMware vshield™5 , VMware vcenter™site Recovery Manager 5 and VMware vcloud®director 1.5products such as VMware Cloud computing Infrastructure Suite (CIM) to help customers with IT Change, increase the efficiency of existing investments, and improve operational flexibility at the cloud computing application platform level, the company has also launched an integrated application platform for virtualization and cloud environments Vfabric 5 , the industry 's first open PaaS solution --cloud Foundry and a new enterprise-class database, a service platformvfabric Data Director , greatly enriching the platform for cloud computing applications in the area of end-user computing, the introduction of a virtual desktop solution in the cloud computing environment View 5 and extend cloud application management benefits to Windows and mobile applications VMware Deepwater programs and tools such as move toward a new mode of work in the PC era that implements any time, any location, and any access mode .

The launch of this series of products and services lays the foundation for our users and applications to move more firmly into cloud computing. Although the pace of advancement at all levels is inconsistent. For example, the cloud infrastructure and management are more mature than the other two layers.

Virtualization and cloud computing are accelerating towards universal

Other survey data also show from different sides the fact that cloud computing is moving towards popularity: data privacy has replaced security as the most important factor for cloud users ' concerns ; Enterprise CEO The status of adoption decisions in cloud computing has risen from last year's 53% grew to this year's 58% .

at the same time, users ' perceptions of cloud computing and virtualization are deepening: virtualization is considered the most basic module for building cloud computing, along with security and isolation ; 68% the surveyed enterprise of considers virtualization to be its core Ten One of the business applications, last year this number is 65% .

also based on Gartner data, in all of the accessible applications that can be virtualized, currently costs The has been virtualized and is running in the VMware the primary virtual infrastructure. This number grows approximately every year calculated, which means that a large number of customers no longer use virtualization for their data center edges, but rather as a core strategy.

What does that mean? This shows that virtualization has become the core technology base of cloud computing, mixed cloud and private cloud is the main choice for enterprise users, while large enterprises are playing a leading role in the popularization tide of cloud computing.

The future of cloud computing

we now see several important changes in the cloud computing landscape, including a blurring of the boundaries between private and public clouds, with companies accessing through a variety of terminal devices SaaS The demand for services is increasing, as is the importance of security and control.

and from these trends, it is certain that the pace at which companies adopt private clouds and public clouds accelerates. Companies are now reallocating the cost of managing infrastructure to support application updates and to develop new applications, which have a more significant impact on corporate performance. Against this background, I made the following specific predictions for the year:

the computing environment for heterogeneous domination of end users. Although this may not be a lot of technical content, we do see heterogeneous patterns emerging in every area. Users want to access their data on all devices and anywhere, which can cause headaches for the it department. We are evaluating a variety of application types: including Windows platform applications, as well as its enterprise-class network applications,SaaS , and local mobile applications. This assessment includes access to data resources from different locations and different devices. This is the future of the application,andVMware and other vendors will continue to provide products to help.

Happy virtualization and continue to cloud computing !
