Cloud computing is the concept of cloud computing, a term many entrepreneurs can often hear, but most people, including the most cutting-edge practitioners, do not know exactly what "cloud computing" is. In this issue, I use the most understandable language to take you into the "cloud computing" the world represented by this term, to see what it can bring to our business.

The concept of "cloud computing" has no more than dozens of definitions of "cloud computing", but "cloud computing" is only one, and what we need is the kind of consensus that can be identified, not the statement.

You may have this feeling, is the internet IT industry new concepts are endless, 4-5 years ago in the major newspapers ERP, CRM and other new words are everywhere, and then two years ago SaaS, as well as PaaS, S, and so on, is now "cloud computing", these new concepts come and go, After a red burst of people's vision, you have not figured out what they are, there are new concepts to replace them.

You may have the feeling that it would be difficult to find "cloud computing" from the web, and that many of the descriptions are different, as if each description answers your questions, but in fact fragmented information and news will put you in a larger puzzle. Now this article is trying to give you a general impression of the concept of "cloud computing", pulling you out of this puzzle.

Cloud computing is first and foremost a technical idea. For example, in order to achieve a goal you need to install a variety of software on your computer, Word, PHOTOSHOP, RealPlayer, and so on, each with a new need to install a software, even if the software you may use once a year; If you want to work together with 20 software, but your computer configuration is very low, you are a impatient person, all of a sudden open more than 20 software because the operation is too large (for the computer to run these software is a large set of calculations) caused the panic. Then you wonder, can I use them anytime I need them without installing them? Can I have the more than 10 computers next door help me to run the 20 + software? It is based on similar ideas, "cloud computing" is proposed, of course, "cloud computing" in the face of a larger and more complex application needs, So it's huge and complicated. But we can simply understand it as: cloud computing is a cloud (we do not care about what is "cloud") is responsible for the operation of the technical structure, you need to pick up at any time, what you need to use, as much as you need.

"Cloud computing" is followed by a business model. It is the "demand" that has spawned this business model, enterprises in the day-to-day business process, the need for a variety of software and platforms, such as the enterprise's financial system, human resources, logistics supply chain management, CRM, ERP, each part of the need for multiple software, multiple platforms to form a system to achieve, "cloud computing "This business model solves this problem easily," cloud computing "through the infrastructure and material resources, a variety of intermediate platforms (such as PAAs, multicast base-class sharing, metadata-driven, etc.) to the data centralized application of access management, collaborative mode application and workflow approval, forms, Data interface links and so on each module to comb, consolidate, develop, and this series of "cloud computing" as a basic platform to open to customers, on the one hand those software developers through this platform according to the needs of enterprises to develop a variety of software for business leasing, On the other hand, enterprises can use a variety of software to hardware from the various services, resources, to submit a variety of operational needs, and so on, greatly reducing the cost of procurement and operation of enterprises.

"Cloud" is one of the hottest technologies in recent years, and "cloud computing" has become the most fashionable noun in the market. Cloud computing providers are studying the ability to make the most of cloud computing through a variety of computer applications and services. And Microsoft's approach makes the steps a step further, which is to make a unique resource-people into the cloud environment easier.

In fact, this is like an egg may precede the chicken to the world. Laptop sales have climbed steadily over the past few years, surpassing desktops at the end of 2008. This is like a domino effect, and remote and mobile office personnel are becoming more and more.

It can be said that the changes in the remote computing model, as well as in the home, hotels and cafes remote or mobile office users more and more, they showed great interest in cloud computing, and thus led to the development of cloud computing.

Whether it's an egg that eventually hatches a chick or a chicken egg, the environment we live in now is like a chicken house, and the emergence of new applications and the resulting management headaches are a headache for IT administrators. Remote and branch offices present different network connectivity issues, and roaming users ' laptops can be difficult to manage and secure, but the combination of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 may change this situation.
