Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 480 Brilliant Cloud

Inspired by the data management system proposed by Shanyu and the establishment of data centers abroad, Jiang Hui felt that the development of cloud computing could be started in the Guanghui data center.

Cloud computing is to distribute computing on a large number of distributed computers instead of local computers or remote servers, and the operation of enterprise data centers will be more similar to the Internet.This enables enterprises to switch resources to required applications and access computers and storage systems as needed.

It's like changing from the ancient single generator mode to the power plant's centralized electricity mode.It means that computing power can also be circulated as a commodity, just like gas, water and electricity, easy to access and low cost.The biggest difference is that it is transmitted over the Internet.

"Shanyu, since we have noticed that the utilization efficiency of data centers of telecom operators is very low, and we are starting the construction of data centers on a large scale. Can we develop a technology to use the surplus computing and storage of data centers in various places Can the ability be used?”.

Hearing Jiang Hui's words, Flash Rain's eyes lit up. This was covered in Flash Rain's doctoral dissertation, and it was also the cloud computing that Jiang Hui mentioned when recruiting Flash Rain.

"Boss Jiang, are you talking about cloud computing?"

"Yes, it's cloud computing."

What is cloud computing?There are many opinions on the definition of cloud computing in later generations.Widely accepted is the definition of the National Institute of Standards and Technology: cloud computing is a pay-per-use model that provides available, convenient, and on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (Resources include network, server, storage, application software, service), these resources can be provided quickly, with little management effort, or little interaction with service providers.

Cloud computing is another sea change following the great shift from mainframe computers to client-server in the 1980s.

"This is a promising application technology, but it needs a lot of manpower to develop it. In the cloud computing environment, software technology and architecture will undergo significant changes. We need targeted and dedicated development."

"To be specific, let's hear it?"

"First of all, the software developed must be compatible with the cloud, and can be organically combined with the cloud platform with virtualization as the core, adapting to the dynamic changes in computing power and storage capacity; second, it must be able to meet the needs of a large number of users, including data storage structure, Processing capacity; the third is to be Internet-based, providing software applications based on the Internet; the fourth is to have higher security requirements, to be able to resist attacks, and to protect private information; the fifth is to be able to work in various environments such as mobile terminals, mobile phones, and network computers ".

When it comes to his major, Shan Yu's mental state has changed, and he looks radiant.

"However, I think it will take some time for cloud computing to be promoted. In the cloud computing environment, the environment and working mode of software development will also change. Although the traditional software engineering theory will not undergo fundamental changes, but The development tools, development environment, and development platform based on the cloud platform will bring convenience to agile development, collaboration within the project team, and remote development. However, people are lazy. When everyone is used to the current practice, even if there is a better Yes, it is difficult for many companies and individuals to adopt it in a short period of time," Shan Yu continued.

"You are right. There is still a long way to go for the popularization and application of cloud computing. Social recognition, people's habits, technical capabilities, and even social management systems should be changed accordingly in order to make cloud computing truly universal.

But in any case, Internet-based applications will gradually penetrate into everyone's life, and will have a profound impact on our services and life.To cope with this change, it is also necessary for us to discuss the future development model of our business and determine the direction of our efforts.

Since we recognize cloud computing and believe in the value of cloud computing in the future, let's do it boldly.Ask money for money, ask people to recruit.I hope that big data and cloud computing can become the face of Brilliant Data Center." Jiang Hui couldn't help but gave Shanyu another bowl of chicken soup.

Taking cloud computing and big data as the core products of Guanghui Data Center is an established strategy formulated by Jiang Hui in the early days.

There are often misconceptions about the relationship between big data and cloud computing.And they will be mixed up, and the straightforward explanation in one sentence is: cloud computing is the virtualization of hardware resources; big data is the efficient processing of massive data.

On the whole, the future trend is that cloud computing, as the bottom layer of computing resources, supports the big data processing of the upper layer, and the development trend of big data is that real-time interactive query efficiency and analysis capabilities can be borrowed from a certain computer expert in later generations. The words: "Isn't it exciting that you can operate PB-level data at the second level by moving the mouse?".

This also fully reflects that the relationship between big data and cloud computing is not an independent concept, but an extraordinary relationship.Whether it is in terms of resource demand or resource reprocessing, both need to be used together.This is why Jiang Hui wanted Shanyu to develop big data and cloud computing at the same time.

Therefore, instead of worrying about how to distinguish between big data and cloud computing, it is better to plan together, let cloud computing provide a powerful platform for big data, and complete the value of cloud computing with the conclusions drawn from big data analysis.

"Mr. Jiang, I feel at ease with your words. To be honest, as the general manager of Guanghui Data, I am still under a lot of pressure. If I spend huge sums of money to build so many data centers, if it is only to meet the data processing needs of the group It’s a bit of a waste if it’s needed. I’m starting to have confidence in the future profitability of Guanghui Data. After our big data and cloud computing technology is launched, in addition to serving the group, we can also provide paid services to the outside world.”

In the next two to three years, Guanghui Data will be a "pixiu" who only pays money but not pays.But ten years later, when the whole society fully accepts big data and cloud computing, money will come in very quickly.

"There is no rush to make money. The short-term task is to develop a Guanghui cloud service for Guanghui mobile phones. Let Guanghui mobile phone users store photos and other content on their mobile phones to cloud accounts, effectively avoiding the shortcomings of insufficient mobile phone storage." .

"Glory cloud service? I think Mr. Jiang's idea may really become a highlight of Glory mobile phones. Especially for future smartphones, if there is no cloud service, consumers may feel a bit useless."

"It's not that exaggerated. Not every user likes to take crazy photos, but cloud services will become a big trend sooner or later, and our early entry can be regarded as taking the lead."

Smartphones of later generations, such as Apple Cloud, Huawei Cloud, etc., almost all have cloud services, and more functions can be gradually extended based on cloud services.
