Recently, Novell CTO Jeffrey Jaffe is keen to catch a "pop" that is blogging. Blog content is the IT industry's most popular topic-Cloud. "Cloud computing is the next stop for IT development and has a transformative impact." The Web provides ' information ' for each click, while cloud computing brings ' information resources ' to each click. Over time, this will bring a full range of revolutions to it. "Jeffrey Jaffe in his" cloud "blog to illustrate the changes the cloud will bring to the IT world. Break the conventional lead "cloud" change only in technology to achieve change and breakthrough, can lead the next generation of technology trends. This, the cloud did it. Novell, as the software provider of cloud computing infrastructure, is also trying to lead the change and development of the "cloud" trend. This is bound to make a challenge for Novell. But the outstanding ideas from Novell's "break-Through initiative" (Breakout move initiative) have helped solve the big problem. Jeffrey Jaffe the five strategic directions for Novell's cloud computing--connectivity, security, management, development, collaboration--where the original idea of security and collaboration came from the "break-through initiative". The "unconventional initiative" is the best deduction for Novell's cultural tradition. Within Novell, a competition is held every year to bring up new ideas, and employees can propose ideas that he considers most destructive, completely breaking the rules of the game, being original, and leading the future. Last year Novell funded the two projects for further research and development, and set up two dedicated working groups to market them. The first is the service of safety management. Hewlett-Packard CEO Hurd said earlier at Gartner's Symposium/itxpo fair that cloud computing services, especially outside the corporate firewall, are not safe enough to handle critical data. It is clear that the security issue has brought huge obstacles to the use and development of cloud computing. Therefore, Novell team in July proposed a set of feasible security services, that is, the use of MCS to enable enterprises, like the use of enterprise intranet, the same as the secret-related mechanism on the network of cloud computing. Second, the Novell Pulse, which was just launched in November. Jeffrey Jaffe called it a revolutionary idea. It is Novell's next-generation cloud collaboration tool. This unique tool will provide an integrated workspace to share and delegate tasks, increasing productivity and efficiency. Novell Pulse uniquely combines e-mail, document making and social communication tools with robust security and management capabilities to meet the needs of a global workforce. Currently, Novell is actively working with Google to enable Novell Pulse users andGoogle Wave users can work seamlessly across two systems to achieve a more open "cloud". In addition to the two strategic directions of security and synergy, the Moblin operating system, which is seamlessly connected to the cloud, the amp (ACS Management Platform) for resource management of cloud computing, and SuSE Studio for independent software developers and enterprise in-house software developers, These together constitute Novell's cloud strategy. Jeffrey Jaffe said that the development of cloud computing requires a large number of it players to participate and play different roles. Through the establishment and advancement of these five strategic directions, Novell will play a key role in the cloud computing infrastructure field. Private cloud in a few years will be popular Gartner Vice President Dar Pramo Daryl Plummer said, "Last year (2008) No one mentioned cloud computing, but this year, almost everyone is talking about." Cloud computing is like a vacuum cleaner that sucks all the relevant stuff in. Users do not need to consider the operating system, servers, and processors, through cloud computing, to obtain the required services. "Cloud computing is an important part of IT development," Plummer said. Even though cloud computing has great potential, this potential can never be done overnight, just as other paradigm shifts are not completed overnight. A common misconception is that once a new technology is introduced, it will be accepted and applied immediately, and it can reach a wide range of applications in 3-6 months ' time. Fact。 Novell CTO Jeffrey Jaffe said: "In fact this is a gradual process, not a revolutionary instantaneous change." We look back on the history of the Internet and it has been around for 20 of years before we gradually accepted it. So, I think, even if the cloud computing will not take 20 years, it will take a long time to promote to be widely used. "At present, even in the technologically developed United States, the proportion of cloud applications is very small." In China, there are few business users. So how long does it take for cloud computing to be widely accepted in China? Jeffrey Jaffe that this needs to be seen in two ways. Cloud computing is mainly divided into public and private cloud applications. The IT giants represented by IBM first intervened in the private cloud. Because of its physical controllability, the private cloud is used very quickly within the enterprise. Private clouds seem to make the internal resources of the enterprise more regulations and more efficient allocation. As a result, Jeffrey Jaffe that such a private cloud could be popularized in the coming years. However, the development of public cloud has been hampered by the security controversy, which has a long way to go before it is widely used. However, cloud computing in the world, especially in China, ushered in one of the biggest development opportunity, that is, China has been emphasizing energy-saving emission reduction, emphasizing green technology, emphasizingThe most effective use of existing equipment. So Novell thinks cloud technology will have a very good future in China. IDC's latest figures also support Jeffrey Jaffe's view. According to IDC's November latest report, Cloud computing services will reach 10% of total it consumption in 2013, up to $44.2 billion a year. In 5 years, the growth of cloud computing services will be very strong, the average annual increase of 26%, is the traditional IT industry growth rate of 6 times times. Meanwhile, IDC predicts that China's cloud computing will generate a market of 1.1 trillion yuan in the next four years. With its deep excavation of five strategies and the "break-through" nature of "cloud computing", Novell's future is bound to play a key role in cloud computing infrastructure, maximizing the share of the 1.1 trillion Chinese market cakes.
