In the development of cloud computing, we should be the people who dare to "eat crabs"

Shuguang Information Industry Co., Ltd. President Lichun, China Electronics [1.55-2.52%] Industrial Standardization Technology Association high-performance Computer Standards Working Committee director, the Chinese Society of Computing High-performance Computing Professional Committee Secretary-General. When the Chengdu Cloud Computing Center was set up last year, a teacher said, "The trend of IT development is" The Taste of the "kingdoms", which I very much agree with.

"The Kingdoms" said: "The world event, a long time must be divided, long will be combined." "It development is like this: from a few decades ago," large mainframe + small terminal "centralized mode, to later become the PC PC-oriented decentralized mode, and today began to" focus on the background and the end of the decentralized "direction. This latest trend is the core of cloud computing and the need for future IT application development.

The so-called "cloud computing" is nothing more than a few it "big" proposed the concept, and then everyone then called cloud computing, and now someone put forward "fog calculation", "Box calculation" ... In fact, what is called the calculation is not important, it is important that we all see the future of the whole social IT system Application model development and changes in the new direction.

In fact, cloud computing is very similar to the concept of "grid" we talked about a few years ago. Grid is the integration of the entire Internet into a huge supercomputer, the realization of computing resources, storage resources, data resources, information resources, knowledge resources, expert resources for the full sharing. Of course, we can also construct regional grids, such as Zhongguancun [6.20-2.82%] Science and Technology Park grid. Cloud computing is based on the concept of the grid combined with the application, software and other developed.

Now, all IT industry faces an unavoidable problem: what happens when terminals are getting smaller? What should we do if our phones are as thin as credit cards in the future, but powerful? One of the solutions, I think, is that we need to focus in the background and need to build a "cloud" to support it.

Under this development trend, the whole IT industry development also to a pattern change node. In the past decentralized situation, we sell computers, sell notebooks, sell servers ... In the future centralization of the model, we have to sell only "computational power." This is the direction of the future!

In the process of the development of the IT industry, of course, everyone hopes to catch the bus, thus achieving their own performance, such as Google, on this road has gone very fast.

But we seem to be talking too much about opportunities today, too little to talk about worries. From the domestic and international industrial development perspective, if the application of cloud computing in the opportunity to change, China's enterprises do not seize the opportunity of the "transition", then it is possible for a long period of time to be led by others, this is a very sad thing.

Frankly speaking, in the cloud computing research, application, including industrialization, China's enterprises do not prevail, Google and other companies have formed a lot of practical experience, and Chinese enterprises are often still in the process of research, writing articles.

In the last phase of global IT development, because of historical reasons, we lag behind, but because of the characteristics of decentralization, we seem to catch up with some shortcuts to find. In the next stage, it is obvious-there will only be a few "clouds", and if we still have no right to speak and remain passive, the difficulty of catching up will be unimaginable.

At present, Chinese enterprises to the pace of cloud computing is more cautious, this can be understood, after all, we are not willing to prematurely try the new things, hope that it matures and reuse. However, in the field of cloud computing, China's IT industry needs to have a few people willing to eat crabs first, this is to their own industry a step, on the other hand, for the national information to do something.
