After two weeks to be home in Hangzhou, he has returned to work the park, see more and more colleagues appeared on the station, the mood gradually brightened. Although the epidemic is not over, I still think of SARS in 2003. The situation still fresh in our memory, I just go to work, on the job learning programmers happily new technologies do not realize is that in the first year of soaring electricity supplier. Today, I was already walking on cloud computing Avenue veterans, the development of eco-industry changes and there will be a greater awareness and perception.
I do not want to say that the epidemic is a driving force for cloud computing to take off, but suddenly from pneumonia virus, while bringing losses to the owners, but also created a new change for the ecological pattern of cloud computing.
Brought large-scale technology resources bonus is the core competitiveness of the cloud platform
Small cloud companies in the face of the epidemic almost no strength to fight back, the sudden growth in demand with no chance. IaaS layer of cloud computing is a big capital and big infrastructure bloody game, which is the so-called core competitive differentiation it. See, Xiangde Tong, can not do, this is a small company of sorrow.
This case is being cognitive many venture capital institutions, the investment community often have friends ask me, how should I do? There are investment opportunities in cloud computing it?
My answer is, cloud computing investment in the ascendant, promising. But there are four are worth noting:
Do not invest a small company IaaS platform, because it will lose everything;
See more do SaaS companies, especially those in the traditional areas of well-known reputation did not profit company, the cloud era is their big opportunity for development, cloud computing will be the ultimate enlarge their user perception, leading to surge in business, as well as long-term investment of cash;
See more specific R & D to do a particular small companies, they will form a large market segments and companies complement each other, can the Branch board, or will be acquired;
See more localization in the list of companies which will obtain the maximum benefit in the new infrastructure.
If the above four are a number of advantages, such companies on the most worthwhile investment.
The rise and the advent of live online meetings marked the era of online audio and video
In January, one of my classmates and explore the internal audio and video technology, I was the thesis is: do not do audio and video, the company will die. Although the students deeper than my accomplishments, can be called in the field of audio and video are veteran, but he is also very confused, this stuff is important, but there are so important to you?
The arrival of the epidemic, especially online business training, classroom class business soared, and soon added a point for my thesis. Can withstand surge peak traffic times, a look at the scale of cloud computing services; technical capacity of the second depends on audio and video. The latter I explain a little, in the same computing, storage, bandwidth capabilities, to provide more audio and video capabilities, which is brought about by technology charm. Blessing technological capabilities specifically, the audio and video codecs, flow distribution, etc., in online teaching video to withstand the pressure of battle, a great tribute.
Here are three things worth to talk about:
The first is the electricity supplier live, I have been studying broadcast business model, in addition to a reward, lie, this period did not eat at home wondering what to buy when I read some live, desire to purchase surge, and put converted into single embodiment.
The second is the popularity of audio and video chips, rather than using the traditional CPU plus a separate card on the server, the card dedicated to audio and video hardware codec chip, in the case of a large density of useful data center.
The third is the broad applicability of audio and video technology, it is becoming a basic capacity of cloud computing, this core competency is not in the hands of others, either out of their own research or obtain through acquisitions.
Here, I'll say it more clear: audio and video technology can not do the world's leading cloud platform company level, we must live.
Public institutions financial transparency is an important driving force for sustained donor contributions
Not long ago seen some data public donations, contributions amount under the line began to decline, the amount of online donations in a substantial increase. The face of the epidemic, all people have the urge donations. Transparency of public institutions spending, has also become a concern of the donors.
To solve this problem, two blessing cloud computing technology. One is the block chain, and the second is a cloud platform. By block chain all the original expenditure listed a pen, in a self-service to all donors and potential donors through a cloud platform you can always check will significantly increase financial transparency, enhance the credibility of the Chinese public sector, conducive to long-term healthy development of the industry.
Specifically how to do it? Cloud platforms do not worry yourself doing this thing, after all, you are not a professional public institutions, your understanding of public financial institutions is not as deep. The best is to find the head of the public organization, they have been providing technology for the public institutions, to develop them into SaaS providers on the platform, and provide a range of support measures to help finance expenditure on technical head of the emergence of cloud services market providers. In this way, in which the leading one or several SaaS will become the de facto standard, they will become neutral organization in the field to have the ability to seal. They cover a chapter, it means that financial transparency.
To build eco-technology public, it is an opportunity for cloud development platform. No technical blessing cloud platform, it is difficult to solve the problem of spending transparency, in other words, opaque, even if you are compliant, there is no convincing.
Cloud computing technology company's social responsibility is to energize
I learned to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR) of the word at my previous company, in particular, now feel deeply. In fact, many companies have a dedicated CSR department, we also want to time the outbreak of social influence the lives of more than.
Contributions are very important part, but there is light contributions are not enough, more importantly for SMEs enabling it hematopoietic ability to help them solve technical problems, including funds. For example, reduction of the cost of a month's Hubei SMEs, providing more opportunities for early adopters to try and start-ups across the country. These initiatives are epidemic in the company to bring a touch of warmth.
We are entering the era of the cloud, companies will no drifting outside the territory of digital transformation. Pratt & Whitney for everyone to bring science and technology to help a lot of clouds on the will, not the ability of companies and organizations, this is our mission.
More interviews to public institutions enabling, for example, in addition to this important dimension of transparency, the ratio of the number of equally important public institutions as well as on the cloud. Clouds on the resistance there are two public institutions: one is the capital, is a technology. Funding, not lack of funds, but not a large proportion of the funds to pay to cover the cost of IT; technology, not the technology is not required, there is no specialized technical developers. Cloud vendors should re-build cloud ecosystem of public institutions, and to explore basis coordination with SaaS providers the ability to jointly build ecological public welfare on the cloud. In this way, most do not have the waist and tail public institutions and organizations on the technical capabilities of cloud seamlessly enjoy digital transition technology to bring dividends.
Most of the meeting was not necessary to meet
During the practice of epidemic shows that most of the meeting does not require face to face open. A lot of communication, recognition, and the like will be announced, the line is enough.
However, this does not mean that all will not need to meet open. Need to be discussed, brainstorming, important provisions bargaining conference is the need to meet, that is more interactive special meeting, meeting more efficient.
As an international metropolis, Beijing hosted the summit, the forum has been too much. Male security when building new area, I would have thought that if the non-political conference on male security features, is not a better solution. An male can build large venues, conference venues, hotels and other service facilities, participants emasculation direct high-speed rail security from Daxing Airport after landing, there will be a lot of ease traffic on Beijing's. Some of them really need to go to Beijing activities team can quickly reach Beijing.
The industry generally believes that this will bring great development of online teaching online education. I basically recognized, but I think, will not use the company's cloud computing resources will be calculated technical and financial resources consumption caused by pressure defeat. Technology's Technology Forum, presentations, can be done in the form of live, online video and can settle down for repeated learning.
During the home office, my team in nail technology live events internal organization of the company, and achieved good results. We are also actively preparing for the formation of an external group of nails, and give more technology enthusiasts and technology decision makers ongoing technology enabling live the way through technology.
Flexibility and efficiency of cloud management and control platform is an important indicator to assess technical standards
Large cloud vendors, machine resources generally adequate, but the level of technology may vary. I have in mind cloud resources, should be called for them, marching orders to go tap water use, specifically: minute-level expansion of capacity; in just two hours, the new deployment of tens of thousands of machines; within 3 seconds, starting 10,000 vessel; within 10 seconds, starting 60,000 containers.
These extreme resilience capability, the core competitiveness is the leading cloud vendors, cloud computing is a contribution to society. Those usually seen in the PPT technology, has been the test of practice, its advanced technology and forward-looking as recognized by customers.
There are hybrid cloud market, so in the future for a long period of time, there will be many companies continue to invest, but the impact caused by public cloud, the shock will bring more customers to the cloud era and the era of cloud.
Cloud computing is still in the process of development, the market potential is still huge, competition continues to intensify. And any new things, new things to become a mainstream, must go through several stages of take-off or milestone. SARS is a milestone electricity supplier, this epidemic is a milestone in online education, but also cloud computing milestone. We look forward to the development of cloud computing, with the outbreak of new infrastructure, able to front-line acceleration ten times.
Supercomputer cloud platform capability is a major advancement reflect
Super regarded as a classic topic, many domestic provinces and cities also have their own supercomputer cluster. Tianhe-2 and Taihu light has repeatedly and for many years dominated the international TOP 500 list.
Super Computer on the cloud, is no longer a novelty. To speed up this new crown pneumonia drug and vaccine development, including universities, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine, institutions, GHDDI pharmaceutical R & D Center for Global Health, School of Medicine, Tsinghua University, Peking University School of Medicine and other means of cloud computing have a new crown viral drug development, this known as the "drug accelerated" program.
In the field of time-critical, cloud supercomputing blessing to race against time, vaccine research is not the first, nor the last. Guizhou eye in the sky radio telescope, due to the large amount of data, but also the ability to use the file system and CPFS cloud of Supercomputer; Geely and other auto manufacturers wind tunnel simulation, also by means of a powerful source of inspiration cloud of super-count.
New infrastructure, new ecology, a new cloud of
Currently, the official media accreditation "new infrastructure" includes seven areas: 5G infrastructure, UHV, intercity high-speed railway and urban rail transportation, new energy vehicles charging pile, large data centers, artificial intelligence, the Internet industry.
I am more concerned about the large data center: there is an outbreak, people who for some time at home office, which also put forward higher requirements for the construction of a large data center. But more importantly, through the construction of large infrastructure of data centers have significant impact on the ecological patterns, paving the way for further comprehensive cloud technology.
Would like to initiate such considerations, it provides some interesting clues thinking.
