Vol 3 Chapter 160: The father of cloud computing

Before the release of the new issue of the magazine, in early February, Hong Haoran was called to the United States urgently. He was a little confused, and together with Mike, looked at the two pieces of paper Feng Yiping handed them, "?"

The two raised their heads in unison, this is a new term.

"Yes, the Chinese language is cloud computing. Let's take a look. I want to set up a new department like this in addition to management software," Feng Yiping said to his two generals in the software industry.

This is just an article similar to a review. Feng Yiping wrote this article mainly based on what he heard and seen later, and then through his understanding of some professional issues these days.

It is really a summary, mainly to put forward this concept, and its characteristics-mainly advantages, future applications-that is, how to create value in this new field.

Although it is a new concept, it is not difficult for Hong Haoran and Mike to understand its meaning after clarifying its meaning.

To put it bluntly, it is also a new application of the Internet sharing spirit, which is based on the Internet, providing various levels of required, inexpensive, and relatively safe distributed computing capabilities.

And it is a new direction that can be achieved under the existing hardware conditions.

"That's why you asked those questions these days?" Mike asked after reading them.

Feng Yiping nodded, "How is it?"

Hong Haoran, who was still looking down there, suddenly said without looking up, "Quiet!"

Feng Yiping and Mike were dumbfounded, "I will look at them again," Mike said.

So, the two of them continued to look at the pieces of paper religiously, only Feng Yiping was surfing the Internet leisurely.

In terms of the current Internet, sharing is not enough. For example, all kinds of "female teachers" films from the East and the West are difficult to search on the Internet. As for online video sites, as for online video sites, you have to wait until he and Huang Jingping’s children are in kindergarten. Will emerge in large numbers.

Of course, the premise is that he does not get involved in this field in advance.

It took more than half an hour before Hong Haoran let out a heavy sigh, and said to the pieces of paper in his hand, sincerely. "This is really another new field, Yiping, amazing!"

Mike humorously gave two thumbs up.

"So, do you also think that this piece can be done, and can also be done?"

"can,"

"can"

The two of them looked at it and said affirmatively.

"Of course, there must be some technology that requires public relations. But from a general perspective, there is no problem," Hong Haoran said.

"That's good," Feng Yiping is still a little worried. What he said is not professional and accurate. After all, he also knows a concept. With the affirmation of their two professionals, then his own article will be published. . should be no problem.

This matter is actually simple to say.

If you use the small generator he later sold as an analogy, the current situation is that every household has its own household generator. Cloud computing is to connect these generators to the grid and adjust them reasonably through effective management software, so as to more fully and timely meet the needs of each family, while reducing everyone's use cost.

at the same time. It can also reduce the professional maintenance personnel and repair costs. In addition, when a failure occurs, it will not be unable to work normally.

"But, why do you want to publish such a good new idea?" Hong Haoran was a little puzzled, "Let's dig our own hair, okay?"

"First of all, this is a huge new market, at least at the level of hundreds of billions of dollars. No company can eat it all in one bite.

Secondly, with the cooperation of hardware and software manufacturers and the participation of more companies, this new market can start faster. "Feng Yiping said.

…………

After a lapse of more than a year, Feng Yiping's signed article appeared again in the Foreword magazine. Although this time, it was less than 10,000 words, it still caused a very big sensation.

For companies in the IT field, this is a better market than the blue ocean, and it can be said to be a new virgin land.

For other companies, this is also a good trend. After all, adding one after another large servers is a big expense for any company.

Therefore, this is even more a boon for small and medium-sized companies. There is no need to hire professionals with high salaries. Optimizing and optimizing several of their own servers, tapping the potential and tapping the potential, worrying that it will collapse one day.

More importantly, if the same service is provided in the market, their data will be safer and more secure, and there will be no server failure, which will lead to data loss.

For schools and some scientific research institutions, large-scale computers are no longer necessary for some high-level calculations....

In short, this is really a good thing for everyone.

Moreover, after reading this article, many people agree with it, and even vaguely feel that they have thought about this before, but they just haven't thought about it in depth.

This is also a good solution to another problem, some people questioned-it seems that there are more domestic doubts, whether you propose a new management method, now such a new professional direction, you will not graduate from a university Can people do it? And the majors and electives in your university are all majors that have nothing to do with IT.

Therefore, it is not necessary for Feng Yiping to come forward to refute, some people actively refute these views, "As long as people who have some understanding of the IT industry, they are likely to discover this new direction. Moreover, Feng Yiping has already had a family at least in China. Well-known software company."

Moreover, although this is a new term, to be precise, this is not a new concept. In essence, it has appeared very early.

A long time ago, people began to buy server storage space, then upload files to the server storage space for storage, and then download the files from the server storage space when needed. The cloud computing proposed by Feng Yiping just simplifies this series of operations. That's it.

The one who is most interested in this new direction is definitely Google. In terms of search, a lot of calculations are required.

The two founders of Google are now the third time they have heard of this exchange student from their alma mater. The first time, of course, was Feng Yiping’s blue ocean strategy. The second time, it was to get ahead of them and acquire electronic maps that are also in Silicon Valley. The technology provider, this time, is the third time.

They decided that it was really necessary to meet Feng Yiping.

They don't know that in the original history, cloud computing, this concept, was just proposed and named by Google.

After leaving a deep impression on Microsoft last time, Feng Yiping's article also made Microsoft's eyes shine. Unexpectedly, there are such business opportunities in the middle.

For companies like IBM and Oracle, they are a little frustrated. Why didn't such a new direction be discovered and named in advance by a young man who was not very professional?

…………

This article, the company that caused the biggest sensation, is not the above.

Silicon Valley, Amazon.

A vice president drank coffee leisurely and looked at the cutting-edge magazine that had just been delivered. Now, this magazine is a monthly must-read for the middle and senior managers of their company.

At the beginning, he was a little surprised at how such a professional article appeared in this magazine.

After he finished reading the so-called cloud computing concept, the coffee in his mouth spurted out immediately. However, he didn’t care to clean up, so he immediately dialed the security department, “immediately conduct a comprehensive special inspection of the newly established department. It is to screen whether anyone has leaked secrets."

As a shopping site, Amazon is the first company involved in the cloud computing industry~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Their project called AWS for short. It has just been established. Although the name is different, it is actually proposed by Feng Yiping. It is a concept.

These companies do not believe in such things as coincidences.

If it were an ordinary person, the wealthy Amazon, it would have been a lawyer's letter, but for a person like Feng Yiping, who is as small as Feng Yiping, the last book is still hot, and the wealth is also good, of course it cannot be that simple. Rude, you always have to get the evidence before you can take action.

48 hours later, Amazon's internal investigation report was released, and the conclusion was that there was no evidence of contact between Feng Yiping and AWS project employees.

Amazon's shocked executives stared at each other. Is that really just a coincidence?

…………

Bao Zhuoyuan’s decision was very correct. In the February issue, he received a lot of additional orders, 20% of which were printed and sold out soon.

For Feng Yiping, this new article gave him more weight as an expert and scholar. At the same time, he has a new title, "Father of Cloud Computing." (To be continued.)
