Chapter 666: The Father of Cloud Computing

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

The two raised their heads at the same time, this is a new term.

"Yes, Cloud Computing, Chinese for cloud computing, you have a look first, I want to set up a new department like this besides management software," Feng Yiping said leisurely to his two generals in the software industry.

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

It is really a review, mainly proposing 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 actually not difficult for Hong Haoran and Mike to understand after clarifying its meaning.

To put it bluntly, it is also a new application of the spirit of Internet sharing, which is based on the Internet and provides cheap and relatively safe distributed computing capabilities for various levels of needs.

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

"Is that why you're asking those questions these days?" Mike asked after reading it.

Feng Yiping nodded, "How is it?"

Hong Haoran, who was still looking down over there, suddenly said without raising his head, "Quiet!"

Feng Yiping and Mike were dumbfounded, "I'll take another look," Mike said.

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

As far as the current Internet is concerned, sharing is not enough. For example, it is difficult to find all kinds of "female teacher" movies in the East and the West. As for online video sites, as for online video sites, we have to wait until he and Huang Jingping Children, when they are in kindergarten, will emerge in large numbers.

Of course, the premise is that he does not set foot in this field in advance.

After more than half an hour, Hong Haoran let out a heavy breath, and said to a few pieces of paper in his hand, sincerely said, "This is really a new field, Yiping, amazing!"

Mike gave two thumbs up playfully.

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

"Can,"

"Can"

The two of them looked at each other and said in affirmation one after another.

"Of course, there must be some technologies that need public relations, but from the general direction, there is no problem," Hong Haoran said.

"That's good." Feng Yiping was still a little worried. What he said was not professional and accurate enough. After all, he knew a concept in this area. With the affirmation of the two professionals, he would publish this article. ,should be no problem.

This matter is actually simple to say.

If we use the small generators he sold later as an example, the current situation is that every household has its own household generators. Cloud computing is to connect these generators to the grid and use effective management software to adjust them reasonably and make them more efficient. While fully meeting the needs of various companies in a timely manner, it can also reduce everyone's use costs.

At the same time, it can also reduce the number of professional maintenance personnel and maintenance costs. In addition, when a failure occurs, it will not fail to work normally.

"But, such a good new idea, why did you publish it?" Hong Haoran was a little puzzled, "Let's bury our heads in digging it out, okay?"

"First of all, this is a huge new market, at least at the level of hundreds of billions of dollars, and no company can eat it all at once.

Secondly, with the cooperation of software and hardware 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 preface magazine. Although this time, it was less than 10,000 words, it still caused a great sensation.

For companies in the IT field, this is a market that is even better 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 large server after another is a considerable expense for any company.

Therefore, this is the gospel for small and medium-sized companies. They no longer need to hire professionals with high salaries to optimize and optimize their own servers, tap the potential and tap the potential again, worrying that it will collapse one day.

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

For schools and some scientific research institutions, some high-order calculations no longer have to rely on large computers...

In short, this is really a hello to me and everyone's hello.

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

This is also a good solution to another problem. Some people have doubts—it seems that there are more doubts in China. It doesn’t matter if you propose a new management method. Now such a new professional direction will be that you have not graduated from a university. Can people do it? And your university majors and electives are all majors that have nothing to do with IT.

Therefore, some people took the initiative to refute these views without Feng Yiping's rebuttal, "Anyone who knows something about the IT industry may discover this new direction. Besides, under Feng Yiping's name, there has long been an Well-known software company."

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

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

The one who is most interested in this new direction must be Google. In terms of search, a lot of calculations have to be done.

This is the third time for the two founders of Google to hear about this exchange student from their alma mater. The first time, of course, was Feng Yiping’s blue ocean strategy. Technology provider deCarta, this time, is doing it for the third time.

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

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

After leaving a deep impression on Microsoft last time, the article published by Feng Yiping this time also made Microsoft's eyes shine. Unexpectedly, there is such a business opportunity in the middle.

For companies like IBM and Oracle, they are a little frustrated. Why didn't they discover and name such a new direction in advance, but let a young man who is not very professional propose it.

…………

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

Silicon Valley, Amazon.

A vice president was drinking coffee leisurely, looking at the cutting-edge magazine that had just been delivered. Now, this magazine has become a must-read monthly for the middle and senior management of their company.

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

After he read the so-called concept of cloud computing, the coffee in his mouth spit out immediately, but he didn't even bother to clean up, so he immediately called the security department, "Immediately conduct a comprehensive special inspection on the newly established WebServices department, The point is to identify whether someone has leaked the secret."

As a shopping website, Amazon is the first company involved in the cloud computing industry. Their project called Amazon Web Services, or AWS for short, has just been established. Although the name is different, it is actually the same concept as Cloud Computing proposed by Feng Yiping.

These companies do not believe in such things as coincidence.

For ordinary people, the rich and powerful Amazon would probably have issued a lawyer's letter long ago, but for someone like Feng Yiping who is famous, whose last book is still selling well, and who has a good fortune, of course, it is impossible to be so simple Roughly, you have to grasp the evidence before you can take action.

48 hours later, Amazon's internal investigation report came out, concluding that there was absolutely no evidence of contact between Feng Yiping and AWS project employees.

Amazon's alarmed executives looked at each other in blank dismay, so it really can only be a coincidence?

…………

Bao Zhuoyuan's decision was very correct. The February issue received a lot of additional orders, and 20% of the reprints were sold out quickly.

For Feng Yiping, this new article has given him more weight as an expert and scholar. At the same time, he has a new title, "the father of cloud computing".
