The definition of cloud computing determines the shape of the cloud products of the enterprise

Indeed, it is not possible to understand the current "cloud computing phenomenon". As recognized as the "rational" characteristics of the group, the IT field of technology and enterprise in a few years, almost all transferred to cloud computing technologies and products research and development, and this "crazy" behavior is rapidly spread to other areas, more and more people are gathered around the "cloud". Legal experts began to study "clouds", economists, sociologists, cultural scholars and government officials have also begun to study and pay attention to the changes brought about by the cloud; Apple's icloud let ordinary people experience the convenience of "cloud" and become "cloud" fans; the low-cost private cloud allows small and medium-sized enterprises to pay close attention to "cloud" products.

The more incredible thing is that, despite the cloud-computing era, cloud computing has so far not been uniformly defined, with different definitions of companies and institutions or experts.

It is no exaggeration to say that cloud computing, driven by Google, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon and other international It giants, has begun a new round of information technology competition, and almost all of the global IT companies, whether active or passive, have been dragged into the cloud computing battlefield, And the battlefield is spreading through the influence of information to other areas, such as law, economy, culture and so on.

China's cloud computing response efficiency

Unlike the previous information revolution, in this cloud computing revolution, China's response speed is very fast, and in the shortest possible time to find the best coping strategies: The use of cloud computing experts in the form of expert committee to integrate domestic and foreign first-class expert resources to make up for the domestic individual enterprises or institutions can not contend with foreign enterprises expert resources defects Using cloud Computing Alliance to integrate the resources of domestic enterprises and make up the shortage of technology and fund in the form of the whole cooperation.

Driven by the cloud computing Experts Committee of the China Electronic Society and the China Cloud computing Technology and Industry Alliance, China appears to be participating in an orderly and holistic manner in the international competition for cloud computing. This overall form is embodied in the loose coordination and cooperation of enterprises, research institutions and government departments. The effect of this model is also reflected in the annual China Cloud Computing Conference, the Government's guidance is increasing every year.

Second, the definition of cloud computing in the competition of the guiding significance

The French philosopher Descartes has a quote that has influenced centuries, and I think therefore I am (I thought, therefore I am). From a philosophical point of view, the implication is that a person knows his own existence because his mind is active. If you understand from the perspective of cloud computing products, the implication is that the brain is a cloud computing product that stores information about itself and builds relationships with constituent materials, and when the product is run, it produces a logical image of itself, so that you know that you are real.

And contrary to the Taoist meditation and Buddhist meditation, thinking away from themselves, so do not feel their own existence. Using cloud computing technology to analyze, is the brain formed by the logic of the image does not contain and its own associated information, so they do not exist.

In these two opposite states, there is an identical phenomenon, a logical image. Logical image is not a physical image, is a technical effect, this effect is made up of a series of words, each word has its own meaning, meaning is done through the definition of the way.

1, the importance of a correct understanding of the definition

The definition is to present things and describe them. is to understand the subject's use of judgment or propositional language logic form, to determine an understanding of objects or things in the integrated classification system of the position and boundaries, so that the understanding of objects or things from the integrated classification system of things to highlight the cognitive behavior.

People must have a common understanding of certain names and terminology in order to communicate with each other. To do so, it is necessary to describe the meaning of names and terms, to make clear provisions, that is, to give their definition.

Human beings are the only advanced animals with a knowledge system in the facts of life that human beings are discovering. Knowledge is a description of the facts in the physical world in the form of symbols and is stored and passed through the media of the physical world. Symbol as a kind of existence fact, is the result of human intelligence activity, so people of different regions and periods, because of the process difference of intellectual activity, will use different symbols to characterize the same objective reality. And the description of the symbol is the purpose of the definition.

Since human survival and development depend on the knowledge system, definition is the most important and fundamental action in this knowledge system. Therefore, the correct definition determines whether people can correctly understand the reality in the physical world, whether it can find the right direction of development.

2, how to understand the uncertainty of the definition of cloud computing meaning

Establishing the definition of certainty is the final requirement and goal of the knowledge system. But not all nouns have a definite definition. Most of this happens because of the limitations of the observer's position. For example, the economy, values, cloud computing and so on, because of its extension is too large, different observers understand that there is a gap, so the definition is also different.

There are two situations in which the definition is ambiguous: ambiguity, ambiguity, or both. In fact most words are ambiguous and ambiguous. This does not mean that these words have no meaning, even if they are ambiguous and contain many meanings.

Cloud computing At present there is no clear, unified definition, different enterprises and institutions from their own perspective to give different definitions, and a large gap. This does not mean that these definitions are meaningless or incorrect, and that each definition is in fact meaningful. It's like elephant, ignorantly. While it is not possible to give a truly holistic view of the observations, it is important for the observer, as they believe that the facts they observe are the full facts, that this definition will guide their cloud computing direction.

3, the universe of the company's definition of cloud computing

The unified, clear definition of cloud computing in the future may come from the business community rather than academia, because for a term that is very extensive and rich in content, its correct understanding is essentially derived from repeated applications. Any scholar, no matter how famous it is, is bound by the laws of nature, and the virtual world in which the brain is formed cannot form all the images that these nouns contain.

As a company engaged in cloud computing technology development and product application, like Microsoft, IBM, Google, Intel and other companies, the company also has its own definition of cloud computing, and under the guidance of this definition to study its core cloud computing technology and development in line with their own development direction of cloud computing products.

This definition is given by Chaoven, a member of the China Electronic Society of Cloud Computing Experts committee, the specific content is: cloud computing is for the purpose of application, through the Internet will be a large number of necessary hardware and software in accordance with a certain form of organization, and with the change of application requirements dynamic adjustment of organizational form created by The most effective collection of virtual resource services.

This is a well-defined definition given by a defined rule: the concept is proportionate to the extension of the concept, the content described is controlled within a certain extension, and the different key characteristics of the thing with other things are enumerated by means of the definition of meaning. For example, the "organization" technology is pointed out.

4, analysis of several international it giants definition of cloud computing

The following is a collection of online data from international companies that define cloud computing.

----Microsoft's cloud computing definition: Cloud + END, Software + service.

----IBM's cloud computing definition: Cloud computing is a new computing model that delivers IT resources, data, and applications to users via the Internet; cloud computing is an infrastructure management methodology that manages a large number of highly virtualized resources to form a pool of resources to unify services.

----Google's definition of cloud computing: No specific definition was found.

But cloud computing is a concept that Google formally launched into the market in 2008. Some cloud computing offerings, such as the app Engine cloud computing platform, include GFS (Google File system) and Bigtable (a database system built on GFS).

----Intel's Cloud computing definition: No information was found on the definition of cloud computing.

But there is a lot of information about cloud computing. In October 2010, for example, Intel announced "2015 Cloud Vision" and a series of related plans, and its cloud vision keyword was identified as "interoperability", "Automation" and "client-side adaptation". To achieve this vision, Intel advocates the establishment of an Open Data Center Consortium (ODCA), which currently has 300 members of the Open Data Center Alliance.

----Gartner's cloud computing definition: Cloud computing is a computing model that leverages Internet technology to provide many scalable (and resilient) it-related capabilities as a service to multiple users.

Third, enterprises need to define the cloud computing products to determine the development goals

As the first company to propose the concept of cloud computing, Google's strategic objectives are vague, information from the Internet that Google seems to have lost itself. Its understanding of cloud computing, but also vague, still blind riding blind horse, there is no clear direction.

This phenomenon is not only in Google, but also in other companies. China has a certain software development strength of IT companies are almost all research and development of cloud computing products, but with international IT companies, basically did not find a clear definition of cloud computing, parrot, blindly follow suit.

1. How to understand the difference between traditional products and cloud computing products

The wrong idea is that the traditional products can be turned into cloud products by making innovations or packaging. This idea is unrealistic, because cloud computing products are ultimately proved through the market, and market competitiveness is reflected in the function and price of products.

The advent of the Internet has greatly developed the creative potential of people. The popularity of open source code has greatly shortened the time for people to develop the system, the increase of network bandwidth accelerates people's ability to acquire new knowledge, and the reduction of hardware cost makes more people able to buy development tools. Take the network product as an example, as long as the United States has a good website new products, China will be in the shortest possible time to copy out, and combined with China's national conditions for improvement and innovation.

Therefore, from the specific application service function of the product, the innovation of the function itself can not change the type of the product, still belongs to the traditional product category. The specific reason is that these innovations do not bring significant price advantages, can not be in the normal market competition to obtain the absolute leading advantage, its competitive advantage still comes from other non-normal factors, such as advertising temptation, social relations and so on, so can not really reduce social costs through the form of technology.

The application service function of cloud computing products is the same as that of traditional products, which is decided by the demand of "people" in the physical world, not by the demand of "products" in the virtual world. This feature determines that the research direction of cloud computing products is not the function of the product itself, but the product in the development and application process, the cost of a significant reduction.

So for the current software companies, to change the traditional products to cloud computing products, not to develop a completely different products, but to the current product to add some cloud technology features, significantly reduce costs. For example, the current average development cost of the market is 1 million yuan, and the increase in cloud computing technology, the cost of development into 10,000 yuan, and with the large-scale application of products, product costs in accordance with the geometric method of decreasing. So the product is cloud computing products, although the user did not find the difference between the product, thought it was a traditional product, but the cost of payment has been reduced a lot.

2, several typical cloud computing enterprise analysis

Because it is currently in the exploration phase of cloud computing, there is no one agreed with the cloud computing products. People in the introduction of cloud computing, like Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon's cloud products to do case, not really understand and identify these products, mainly because these companies are well-known, the use of human nature blindly tame from the weakness of authority. But it cannot be denied that these international giants control a large number of traditional it core technology and key technology, in the cloud computing research process invested a lot of manpower and money, is driving the development of cloud computing, it is possible to become the cloud computing era of technology leaders.

(1) Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft's cloud computing definition is: Cloud + END, Software + service.

The extension of this definition is very large, so the connotation is relatively, it is a little ambiguous. This definition is based on Microsoft's existing products summed up, it also reflects the Microsoft's cloud computing product development direction.

Microsoft's current product is a tool-type platform product, so its cloud computing products are also tool-type cloud platform products. The goal is to provide enterprises with the tools to develop cloud products. such as System Center and Windows Server, and virtualization.

(2) IBM Corporation.

IBM's definition of cloud computing: Cloud Computing is a new computing model that delivers IT resources, data, and applications to users via the Internet; cloud computing is an infrastructure management methodology that manages a large number of highly virtualized resources to form a large pool of resources to unify the delivery of services.

The extension of this definition is small, with a clear range of "computational model" and "Management methodology", although this should be two different definitions. This definition also reflects IBM's product features and also determines the direction of IBM's cloud computing development.

IBM's current products are server hardware, databases, application systems, solutions, and so on, so its cloud computing products are also around the current products to expand. For example, the establishment of cloud computing data centers around the local government to help build smart cities.

(3) Universe Chemicals Company

The cloud computing company's definition is: cloud computing is for the purpose of application, through the Internet will be a large number of necessary hardware and software in accordance with a certain form of organization, and with the change of application requirements dynamic adjustment of organizational form created by a minimal internal friction, the most effective virtual resource service collection.

This definition chooses a modest extension and then gives a clear connotation. belong to a popular definition.
