It giants change enterprise model to cloud computing

Global Cloud computing market will reach $95 billion trillion over the next five years

There is no doubt that the cloud will be the next stage in the development of the Internet, which will mean that everything can be delivered as a service-from computing power to business processes to interpersonal relationships-anytime, anywhere, with the heart.

Now, a growing number of people believe that the advent of cloud computing will revolutionize the way companies acquire software and computing power. Google is one of the first companies to provide software and computing power through the web. Then, technology giants like Amazon, Salesforce.com, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Oracle and Microsoft are also providing services, including storage space and software, to customers through the Internet to maintain customer relationships. This Remote assignment computing task is called "Cloud computing", which is now popular in American companies.

"Cloud computing" changes the enterprise model

Cloud is a means of highly scalable and resilient technical support to ensure that on-demand services are available on the Internet. Cloud computing will bring technology to the practical level of people's business and personal life, that is, human and human cooperation and information sharing. When you try to contact someone and try to communicate across business, you can't use a process-centric approach because you can't control the whole process. The cloud infrastructure allows data to be accessed from the programming side, so a wide range of applications and services can use information directly, not just the ability of people to browse, but also the cloud. This will enable the Internet itself to solve many new problems.

In print publishing, for example, Hewlett-Packard has played a different role in the process of printing and publishing, including authors, publishers, and readers, not through processes, but by connecting several roles through data using cloud infrastructure. This approach enables computing to break the limits of specific software applications and eliminates the need for application consolidation.

Depei, Professor of Beihang University, said in an interview recently that Cloud computing is the third era of computer development. The first era is the PC era, this is the era of hardware, the second is the network era, the software began to develop unprecedentedly, people can use the computer to work on the Internet, learning; the third is the cloud computing era, where users don't care about software, but services.

Depei says there are three drivers of cloud computing changes: One is the decline in storage costs, users or enterprises to store data compared to the previous cost reduction; second, the popularity of bandwidth, the global network is becoming faster, and the third is the popularity of editing tools, everyone can use their familiar tools to work on the Internet.

And some analysts say that cloud computing means a drastic change in the way companies compute their computing patterns. The global cloud computing market will reach $95 billion trillion over the next five years, according to Merrill Lynch. By then, 12% of the software services will be in the cloud computing model. There is no doubt that the manufacturers who can adapt to the trend will benefit from it. IDC consultancy forecasts that spending on it cloud services could grow 3 times times over the next five years, to $42 billion trillion by 2012, and 9% of the top five key market units. More importantly, spending on cloud computing will enter a phase of accelerated growth that will achieve a 25% per cent increase in total IT spending by 2012.

Competing for the "cloud era"

At present, HP, IBM, Dell and other manufacturers have begun to exert "cloud computing." IBM announced August 1 that it would spend $360 million to build cloud computing data centers. Dell has also been outdone by providing device support for the world's largest cloud computing service providers and Web 2.0 companies, such as Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and Yahoo. Dell CEO Dell said: "Although it is only hundreds of millions of dollar business, but 2-3 years later will become billions of dollars." "As for Microsoft, cloud computing has been one of the five major priorities of the 2009 fiscal year by CEO Ballmer."

Over the past six years, HP has upgraded its data center performance through a series of acquisitions. Hewlett-Packard and Compaq have laid the hardware in place as market segments continue to evolve into open systems, architectures, and devices that remain connected. Unlike the hardware industry, Hewlett-Packard has also expanded its portfolio of software products, acquiring 11 software companies in the past 4 years, including Mercury, Opsware and Peregrine. In 2008, Hewlett-Packard bought EDS again. At the same time, from the digital image to the IT infrastructure itself, HP has been able to provide all levels of cloud services corresponding to the business. Industry insiders say HP has been prepared to provide an integrated cloud ecosystem.

HP is pushing the cloud through a series of efforts, according to Russ Daniels, vice president of the company's cloud services strategy. First, HP promotes cloud service providers by designing, delivering, and supporting a number of externally scalable infrastructure products and support services, and as part of an integrated service environment, HP helps corporate users gain, control, and secure cloud services through it. In addition, HP delivers new business models by providing cloud services and always online devices, making technology more intuitive to end-users.

Today, cloud computing is promoting the birth of a new set of business models. For example, Cloud Magazine on demand printing technology. Cloud Magazine makes it possible to create digital magazines and to print, promote, sell and distribute on-demand economic savings. Publishing a magazine on magcloud.com will not cost anything, and users simply upload a high-resolution PDF file and the system can help with the following: printing, mailing, subscription management, or even more.

Predictably, our future lifestyle will be in the "cloud" environment, the advent of cloud computing will make the technology industry once again have the opportunity to make fundamental changes, but the development of the cloud needs including HP and many other manufacturers to work together to make people really live in the clouds.
