The Internet industry not only has Microsoft, Apple, Google to build the eco-industrial chain, as well as Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba provides an open platform. In an environment where internet giants are already offering cloud computing services and dominating the lifeblood of the industry, it seems hard to be the next giant, but based on the open platform for cloud computing and the backdrop of mobile internet boom, developers can opt for an open platform to create another "angry bird", "Fruit Ninja", " The myth of Plants vs. Zombies. How do I choose Platform Access? How to make better use of cloud computing to meet your needs? This is the biggest puzzle that many developers and start-ups face at this stage.
In the recently held "first China Internet Wireless Summit and Aliyun developer Conference", Analysys International president Analysys warned developers and start-up companies: Cloud computing for many entrepreneurs to provide opportunities, but choose the project must be based on the current environment, must focus on a point, and touch as little as possible to areas similar to the core genes of the internet giant.
The age of clouds has come
When the internet giant proposed the concept of cloud computing, many people feel "foggy", "unintelligible", but as the cloud computing market gradually mature, now is "cloud open fog". So what are the opportunities for developers in the era of cloud computing?
At the summit, Ali Cloud computing relies on Alibaba Group's vast data advantages, in-depth study of the trend behind the research data and behavior, focused on the release of Alibaba's cloud computing services and products, including cloud developer platform, open storage services, rendering and so on. The "Aliyun Yun Application Development Contest", launched in the same period, provides developers with an after-tax bonus of 1 million yuan. Aliyun hope that through this move to narrow the distance with developers, so that more developers choose the Aliyun platform, and on this platform "Opera", the construction of an ideal eco-industrial chain.
Dr. Jian, Alibaba Group's chief architect, explains cloud computing with a figurative metaphor. "In our childhood, many places want to drink water need to hit a well at home, every household have a well, drilling needs to choose the right place, otherwise it is likely to spend time drilling but no water, or water enough to drink." In short, from the want to drink water to dig a well to drink Sheung Shui, the process is difficult and time-consuming laborious. But at this stage, when we buy a house there is already water, the process is greatly simplified, this is the water plant credit. In the internet world, cloud computing is the equivalent of a water plant, on demand, without the need to build a server, and to start with a safe, clean ' water '. Jian said: "Although we are now accustomed to running water, but for many Internet developers and start-ups, the cloud computing platform is likely to be life-saving ' water '. ”
For developers and startups, speed equals life. Developers have developed a product that needs to be pushed to users as quickly as possible, as well as to prepare users to rush in or out of the way. At this point, the traditional way of purchasing equipment has become a big problem, creativity will become worthless because of time. What to do?
At this point, leasing some servers to the cloud computing platform is a good solution to these problems. Cloud computing includes computing platforms (corresponding systems), computing power (corresponding to CPUs), storage space (hard drives), rendering (corresponding graphics cards), and so on, which simulates PCs and also goes beyond computers.
"Now we play a lot of mobile games are on the cloud computing platform, including overseas happy farms and other games have applied this concept, there are more and more companies in the country to adopt this method." "says one developer.
Rongxiuli, chairman of the Sky language, thinks that it is easier to start a business now than in the past. "In the past, I do not only need a lot of hardware investment, more years of technology accumulation, entrepreneurial threshold is too high, but now the major internet giants to provide cloud computing services and financing channels, as long as developers have the wisdom, ability, dream, pay efforts to open the road of entrepreneurship." ”
Cloud computing is paving the way for developers and start-ups. The agency predicts that by 2020, cloud computing will store 15% of global customer and business data, while about 1/3 of the information will be passed through the cloud. According to the White Paper on the development of cloud computing industry in China, the cloud computing market will reach 606 by 2012. 7.8 billion yuan.
The market for cloud computing "cake" is more and more big. To further promote market development, the National Development and Reform Commission recently decided to set up 1.5 billion yuan special funds to support the domestic cloud computing industry leader. People seem to see that a "cloud life" of the era is slowly approaching.
