Who is the first "Lala" in cloud computing wave

Lala promoted the "Fire", earning the "eyeball", also won the "economy". At the same time, "Lala" has also become an ordinary white-collar subconscious drive the spirit of the struggle power leaders, such as you, such as me, some office class. A person's success can affect the pace of many people. All say there is no shortcut to success, but it can be used for reference. This is also the core factor of Lala's increasing concern.

We always like to express our high praise for someone, an enterprise, or something by "unprecedented and never after." But compared with imitation, China seems to be a better one, although innovation is the soul of our nation. As for a short, but complex project, such as cloud computing, corporate CTO are more willing to look for practical cases to prove that they are not chasing the tide or seeking a psychological balance of comfort, but also to find some reasonable experience. After all, cloud Computing's blueprint for the world is attractive enough, but sometimes it's too much to fantasize about.

Cloud computing is hard to define

Cloud computing has become such a hot topic without the Amazon Web Services app that built the profit model for cloud computing. In the past time, some of the capital or strength of the manufacturers have moved to cloud computing and put in enough energy, such as VMware, such as IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Red Hat, from the manufacturer's point of view, the cloud for the gongs and drums have sounded, "war" seems inevitable.

And from the user's point of view, compared to the public cloud, enterprises prefer the private cloud, and more focus on building and maintaining the enterprise's internal IT systems. It is, at least in their view, a security guarantee. Some of the strong or dare to eat crab enterprise CTO have begun internal IT system transformation. This includes the application of server virtualization, storage, network construction and so on.

The transformation of the cloud will affect a series of nerves. such as the professional fate of CTO, such as the development of enterprise changes. At this point, it is somewhat similar to Lala's career ups and downs in the world's 500 strong company DB, and it seems as if the company's own trajectory has been driven by cloud computing.

So, who can be called the first "Lala" in the wave of cloud computing?

The question seemed to inject a sedative into the restless market. Does the existing mail service count as cloud service before n years? Oh, it seems to count. Did server virtualization, which began several years ago, count as cloud computing? Yes, too. This year speculation of the uproar of desktop virtualization is not counted? Alas, it seems to be so-so ... Therefore, a enterprise said its own cloud computing, we can say is not it? B Enterprises also said that they are in the cloud, we seem to have no objection. That said, it seems that any enterprise is cloud computing, and it seems that any enterprise has no cloud computing. Well, we're completely dizzy.

Without standards, there can be no clear and reasonable definition.

"Cloud computing is the wrong concept, even if not cloud, our computing resources is not enough?" Private cloud is nonsense, private cloud is like home boil water, think is artificial cloud. There is no shared and open environment, it is not called cloud, it is called large computation. Only resources that are available to different administrators can be called clouds. For example, if you have 100 houses in your home, you might as well waste your money on rent, which is not called a hotel. "Dr. SaaS has thrown out his theory of surprise.

"So far, cloud computing has not introduced a global standard, even the so-called Chinese standard." No standard, how to talk about other? The transplant is needless to say, at least a clear definition is difficult. Newman CIO Yang Xue said, "In addition, the company's so-called cloud computing is coming from, the mail web of the so-called cloud?" What kind of cloud computing can be called the Qualified cloud computing? And so on, these are real problems that need to be pondered. ”

"From my contacts with manufacturers and users, it is true that there is no clear definition to determine what steps are required to be cloud computing, or what technical improvements are being made to cloud computing," he said. "It's only when the problem is understood that we can confidently say that we are in cloud computing," said a senior insider. ”

The difficulty of implementing cloud computing

Since 2010, the sound of cloud computing has been on the ground. So is it true that cloud computing is starting to "cloud into rain" as it looks like?

This year, 51CTO author has also heard several examples of cloud computing initiatives. Among them are Sinopec, China Pharmaceutical group, Fujian Xingye Bank and so on. And to ask how the implementation of these enterprises, the implementation of how far, the future planning expectations, I am afraid that 1:30 will be difficult to have a definitive conclusion.

"The facts are not so rosy. Mr. Cheng said, "Realistically, some companies are trying to get the cloud to take root, but this is not easy, and as mentioned above, there is no standard to define it, the implementation of more than a smooth road." ”

Contrary to Mr Cheng's view, according to a survey (see 51CT0 related article: Cloud computing has been accepted by most people), more than 600 of the 68% of corporate IT decision-makers from the UK and Singapore say cloud computing will help their businesses recover from the recession. 96% of the enterprise IT decision-makers think that the company is ready for cloud computing, which is more than 2009 years of statistical data. 7% of it decision-makers say they are using or are planning to use enterprise-class cloud computing solutions over the next two years.

The research report clearly gives us great confidence. But it is undeniable that the report is not aimed at the Chinese region. And from the actual situation, the domestic in the new technology or concept of absorption to be relatively cautious and slow.

"Cloud computing involves software and hardware upgrades, network technology More, there are a lot of new applications, so the implementation is not so simple," Yang Xue said, "In addition, how to layout to achieve a higher cost performance, which is worthy of serious consideration by enterprise IT organizations." ”

Enomaly, CEO of Cloud Platform software company Reuven Cohen, also said that while the enterprise itself is in need of cloud computing, but now the private cloud market is not clear, private cloud into the increasingly sophisticated enterprise it is still time.

Page 3rd: Which business or business is the easiest to cloud

"For a group of companies, Cloud computing is the first evolution of the basic services, how to use existing hardware, including storage, dynamic optimization, and gradually build a platform, must be an open platform, including open source." On this platform to do innovation to do service, do management. The third is the formation of high-performance computing centers. "Chinese medicine group Revan said. It is understood that the group is in China Group Cloud construction, Ray is also recently to Shanghai hosted IaaS server virtualization of the bidding work.

Earlier, Tang June said, "My success can be replicated", after the Tencent "My replication can be successful", so the CTO are also more hope to learn from the success of other enterprises experience, so that their own in the cloud on the road ahead of the sail on the goal. But look, how many enterprises are still doing the Yuqian, and how many enterprises are just starting to advance the wheel valve, and they are not in stones!

Which businesses or businesses are the easiest to cloud

Until today, cloud computing has been on the ground for more than half a year, but in fact it's mostly "thunder and rain," and for most companies it's more of a concept, a transformative force that tries to extend the vine into an enterprise IT organization, not as a means of profitability.

For the HCL, one of India's largest IT outsourcing providers, cloud computing is not their main business. But Shami Khorana, president of the recent HCL US division, predicts that cloud computing will be their main business. (See 51ct0 related articles: 5 ways to uncover the Indian HCL's money from the cloud) according to a recent survey, 1/4 of companies are expected to spend more than 20% of their total it budgets on private clouds within 18 months.

Have the strength to see a doorway, no strength to gather a lively. Not all businesses are suitable for cloud computing, and not all businesses need cloud computing. So what are the best areas for cloud computing?

"Emerging companies or emerging businesses, or internet companies, are more likely to implement cloud computing. "The Fujian CIO Association secretary General Lei said.

In Yang Xue's view, there are 4 major areas that are more suitable for cloud computing. The first is business intelligence. With the different level of enterprise, the demand of massive data storage and processing is most obvious. Cloud computing provides parallel computing as a way to support the PC cluster. Cloud computing in Distributed File System (DFS) can provide distributed data file storage, parallel program running, can achieve internal task parallel scheduling. In the cost advantage, the acceleration fast, the response is short, the data processing quantity can make bi more intelligent.

The second is IDC's ability to borrow cloud computing. Through cloud computing, IDC can significantly reduce the amount of server hardware input, the most efficient use of hardware resources (including cup, memory, disk) and bandwidth. Can be based on different business volume, automatically adapt to the corresponding resource gaps. It will be another revolution for IDC.

Third, the search is the mother of cloud computing. The early appearance of cloud computing is in the search industry, it is the rapid development of the search industry, resulting in large number of visits, large data, large index. Cloud computing platform based on Low-cost industrial Standard PC built, Low-cost, from distributed storage to a large number of structural data management has a complete solution. The cloud computing platform is flexible, with a distributed, loosely coupled system architecture and a small system management overhead. Cloud computing platform facilitates the development of new business. In the cloud computing platform, a variety of business sharing.

Four, SaaS is a source of cloud computing. The advent of cloud computing is bound to energize new energy for SaaS. The biggest selling point of SaaS is real-time concurrency, and it's clear when SaaS talks about concurrency after the advent of cloud computing. Cloud storage itself has a first-thought and solid foundation for data security, which has always been a concern and questionable. Believe that when everyone understands the security of cloud storage. Data security for SaaS is eliminated. At the same time, cloud computing and SaaS have many similar ideas, such as on-demand services.

The first wave of cloud computing revolves around demand elasticity, short-term service start-ups, virtualization labs, test and development users, or applications in the cloud, such as web-based business, content publishing, or social media sites. And the current cloud computing wave is still in a start before the Power brewing savings period, the Holy Enterprise cloud seems to be farther than imagined. (Note: The definition of cloud computing is limited to enterprise private cloud construction)

At the end of the story, Lala proved to everyone that his hard work will be rewarded, and that she has earned her rightful place and respect. The same is true of every CTO in the cloud computing wave. It is an opportunity to stand up for yourself in the face of a challenge, or to come out in a critical moment to provoke a beam that should be your boss. In the director of manpower "Liszt" time to retire, is you-cloud concept version of Lala soaring. So, what are we waiting for?

Please look forward to Cloud concept version Lala-Enterprise sequel: Looking for it promotion talent-cloud concept version lala.
