By 2011, the concept of "cloud computing" has been put forward and applied for 10 years. The "cloud" has evolved from a vague concept of the past to the foreseeable future of the entire IT industry. "A new generation of information technology, The notion that the Internet, the mobile Internet and the like will all make the 'cloud' the nerve center 'has become an inevitable trend.
Bill Gates once said: "People often over-estimate the impact of technology development on society in a short period of time, but underestimate the impact that major technology has on society for a long time." "Cloud" technology It can be said that exactly is such a state: Indeed, it has become a new architecture, and even the development trend of the entire information industry. But because some people are over-hyped and hyped to make people sound like an instant turn around, but that's not the case. Cloud computing as a huge industry chain, or need to be gradually completed step by step.
Just past 2011, is the cloud computing industry "steady" development of the year. Many of the world's largest companies have introduced their own "private cloud" and cloud-based products and services such as Microsoft, Apple and Amazon. In China, many IT companies released "cloud" strategy and launched "cloud" products. Operators also began to deploy cloud-based applications.
"The cloud computing business model is rapidly evolving to address a whole new landscape of IT applications across a broad range of infrastructure such as servers, storage, networking and middleware, operating systems, etc." As the building of the cloud computing ecosystem becomes more mature, relevant The main body of the industry chain will find its own advantageous position in this round of IT tide, speeding up the optimization and upgrading of its own businesses and boosting the leap-forward growth of the overall IT industry.
The government also has a deeper understanding of the "cloud". Almost all the governments I have visited talk about "the cloud." Both the United States and South Korea have some strategies on "the cloud," while the Chinese government has made more investments.
If the United States is "thunder, rain big," then China is "thunder, rain is small." Unlike the Chinese concept of "cloud", in the United States, everyone does not know what is cloud computing. Even if you ask Obama, he may not understand it. But in fact, everyone is doing cloud computing, using cloud computing.
The development of the US "cloud" is much faster than that of China. Both small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises have very high levels of virtualization. Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and Google have introduced many revolutionary products and services in the "cloud" , And gradually get the user's approval. However, these are rare in China.
Some people worry that the development of China's cloud computing industry is not overheating, there has been a bubble? At present, there is no need to worry about this issue. Chinese enterprises are still very practical. If there is no market demand, they will adjust.
The opportunities and benefits of "cloud" are certainly more than problems and challenges. For ordinary people, perhaps unknowingly, already enjoy the "cloud" side of the wonderful.
