Internet companies lead cloud development

It is understood that many Internet companies with rich data and computing resources such as Google, Sina and Shanda will lead the Internet to the front. In addition to the basic security, bandwidth, hardware and software resource management and other technical factors, so many companies are about to face The biggest challenge is to find new cloud computing-based user needs to create as soon as possible, so as to get more business benefits, the company developed more rapidly.

Traditional data centers and supercomputing centers, because of their resource advantages, will most likely be at the forefront of cloud computing. In fact, the traditional supercomputing center is fully in line with the characteristics and description of cloud computing. For example, the author's Shanghai Supercomputing Center, as the first and only public computing service platform developed for the public in China, has provided computing services to users in various application areas through the Internet. For this type of data or computing center, the main challenge in the cloud computing era is to broaden or find new service areas and services.

For individuals or small and medium enterprises, cloud computing is often full of opportunities. They can host and run their services through a partnership with a cloud computing service center. On the one hand, existing stand-alone applications that are difficult to run can be transplanted to a cloud computing center to serve data processing or calculation by a service manner; on the other hand, APIs open to the cloud computing service center can also be utilized to develop and implement applications by themselves To provide services, Google Map API is such an example. Close cooperation between individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises and large cloud computing service centers will probably be the main form of cloud computing and the main driving force of innovation in the future. After all, people's wisdom is endless.

Finally, the government will also play an important role in the wave of cloud computing, requiring the operation of large cloud computing centers to manage, consolidate and process large amounts of data in all areas. In fact, several local governments have already started to set up information processing centers with massive storage and huge computing power. Think about the scene in the 24 hours of the U.S. anti-terrorism campaign. Which government does not want to have such information processing capabilities?
