Cloud computing is a very broad concept, and no one can define it in a few short sentences, which is why the cloud computing concept has been regarded as a gimmick by many people for a long time after its introduction.

However, before Simon's rebirth, cloud computing was deeply rooted in people's hearts and was everywhere.

For end users many years later, network disks, cloud documents, applets, streaming media, etc. are all specific applications of cloud computing.

For enterprises, cloud computing is to maximize the efficient use of computer hardware and software resources through large-scale distributed parallel computing.

Ordinary people often associate cloud computing with concepts such as website hosting and server leasing. In fact, this is just the most basic service that cloud computing can provide.Moreover, the basic services such as website hosting and server leasing provided by real cloud computing are still very different from traditional hosting leasing services.

Traditional hosting lease, users specify the server space, then these servers are completely open only for dedicated users.Even if the number of visits to the user's website is zero during certain periods, the server must remain running, which often results in a great waste of resources.

Cloud computing provides a highly flexible virtual server space. The user does not need to specify a specific server, but is automatically allocated by the cloud computing system, and can be purchased on time as needed.This means that one server can provide services to multiple users at the same time, and there will be no serious resource vacancy.

For example, a user usually only needs 10g of network space, then only needs to rent 10g of space, but in certain periods, because of the increase in user traffic, companies suddenly need to increase the server space to 100g, traditional hosting rental services This situation is basically a disaster. In order to avoid disasters, companies often only buy 100g of space at a time, which causes a sharp rise in costs and a great waste of resources.For cloud computing, only a very simple online expansion operation is required, and the 100g capacity does not need to be leased all the time. After the peak period, the 10g time payment standard can be quickly restored.

Because the efficient use of software and hardware resources can be achieved to the greatest extent, and the basic hardware scale of the same volume, the storage and computing power that cloud computing can provide can even reach more than ten times that of traditional server application models.Similarly, this also means that the cost advantage of traditional server application models is far exceeded.

San Francisco, Palo Alto.

Came here on September 17th, while mediating the dispute between Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz, Simon was pulling three of Igret’s executives to discuss Carol Bar The one-stop website solution plan proposed by Ic based on the concept of cloud computing. This business solution has also been constantly evolving in everyone's repeated discussions.

The Internet industry has already passed its infancy, but this seedling is still very weak.

Because of the powerful practical application functions of http and html technologies, the expansion of the World Wide Web technology in recent months is much faster than Simon had imagined. However, many functions of related technologies are still under continuous research and development.

Simon has never forgotten this, so he has never adopted a too aggressive promotion strategy.

Now, he even owns a draft of the "Information Highway Plan" that current Congressional Senator Albert Gore has been trying to promote over the years. With Simon's current status, it is completely easy to build momentum for this plan. But in order to give Igerett more time to accumulate the technical details step by step, he did not do so.

For now, a big factor restricting the development of the Internet industry is the lack of computer hardware computing and storage capabilities.Realizing the popularization and application of cloud computing in advance can solve this problem to a great extent.

Igreat’s West Coast Data Center is located in a building near Igrete’s headquarters in Palo Alto.

The time is already Friday, September 21.

Simon has not been here for the first time recently,

However, the serious server array in front of us is the very traditional data center model in this era.

Compared with the large server clusters in Simon's memory that are built directly beside the water source in the cold zone and exposed to various hardware technologies, the current data center is not only expensive and efficient, but also inefficient.

Because each minicomputer is a separate individual, once a failure occurs, the machine maintenance is still second, the most critical, and may even affect the network service of the company, therefore, the daily maintenance of the data center also costs Not cheap.

Next, the first step of Eaglet’s cloud computing plan is to virtualize the existing data center, which of course cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes about a year to develop dedicated cloud computing control software.

The team will also set up a hardware R&D department to purchase hardware directly from the underlying chips, motherboards, and storage vendors. According to the schemes determined by these people in recent days, we will work with the cloud computing software technology team to develop an integrated server cluster data center.

A data center is a whole, or, when connected to other data centers, the entire Igreat data system is a whole, a very large computer with superb computing and storage capabilities.

In memory, the ultimate goal of cloud computing proposed by many companies is that there is only one or a few'computers' in the world.

The current server leasing is still mainly for mature enterprise users, which restricts the development of Internet sites to a large extent, because individual or small business individuals simply cannot pay for server procurement leasing or maintenance.Simon has been considering recently to promote the rapid expansion of the World Wide Web technology, to provide the industry with cheap or free online space for developers to build their own web sites.

Once Igrid’s cloud computing plan is completed, Igrid only needs to use Igrid’s own redundant server resources to quickly promote this.

Heed the suggestions of professional technicians, discuss the transformation plan of the data center, and confirm the details of cloud computing research and development. The afternoon passed quickly without notice.

It is already evening to leave the data center.

Sending away the other entourage, Simon only drove three of Igret's executives to a nearby restaurant that had been booked in advance.

The four seated and ordered a meal. After the waiter left, Simon said to Bezos and Butz: "In the morning, Tim has signed an equity transfer contract, and I am now Igri 100% equity holder."

Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz listened to Simon mentioning this, and both subconsciously looked at Tim Berners Lee.

Tim Berners Lee just smiled and nodded slightly.

The two turned to Simon again, waiting for him to continue.

Simon's previous consecutive capital injections have taken great care of the interests of Tim Berners Lee, a partner, which is why all funds have to be allocated clearly.Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz due to the last dispute over the $50 million distribution problem made Simon realize that he must solve Tim Berners-Lee’s shareholding problem in order to be more effective Freely allocate funds to Igret.

At noon yesterday, Simon individually invited Tim Berners-Lee to lunch together and formally put forward a proposal to buy out 2.5% of Li’s hands.

Simon frankly explained his intention to do so, and set a high price of 5 million US dollars, which is equivalent to twice the valuation of Li's shareholding when Simon injected capital a few days ago. Tim Berners Lee It was also clear for some time that if Igrid wanted to grow fast, it needed to invest a lot of money without interruption, so I readily agreed.

Simon believes that the two smart people, Bezos and Butz, know their intentions to do so, so they don’t turn around and quickly continue: "So, from now on, with regard to funding, I can assure you that you can spend I can give you as much as you want, but the premise of all this is that you must come up with corresponding results."

Jeff Bezos and Carol Butts nodded together, and at the same time glanced at Tim Berners Lee.

Simon noticed the eyes of the two and said, "Tim will also be the ceo of Igret. This will not change, because neither of you is suitable for controlling this company temporarily."

Carol Bartz couldn't help but say: "But, Simon, I think the company should have a leader."

"Yeah, Tim will act as a buffer between the two of you, as for dominance," Simon smiled and pointed at himself, "I will be personally responsible."

Carol Bartz was a little reluctant, saying: "If you can stay in San Francisco, it would be appropriate, but you usually don't have to come here for a month, I think it's me who is in charge of this company. Best of all, Tim is responsible for R&D, and Jeff can concentrate on running his network department."

Simon shook his head again and said, "Carly, you have to understand that the status of the network department and the software department in Igret is completely equal. Frankly speaking, I have higher expectations for the network department. So , Igreat’s network and software departments must go hand in hand. I believe you should also understand that without the support of the network department and without sufficient resources for the content of the World Wide Web, no one will care about the underlying technology applications of the World Wide Web, the browsers we developed It’s impossible to sell software."

Carol Bartz insisted: "The World Wide Web technology also has a very wide range of applications on existing enterprise LAN data platforms, and the customer base in this area is already very impressive. We can focus on this area first."

Simon had no choice but to give up reasoning with Carol Bartz, his expression became serious, and said: "Carly, I believe that in the development direction of Igreat, everyone's discussion results have been very mature. The next stage, Your task is to establish a complete software sales network as soon as possible. Tim’s task is to develop technology, and Jeff is responsible for the operation of the network department. At the same time, the three of you must work together, because any of Igreat’s business, from Fundamentally, they all complement each other. I will help you solve the problem of capital allocation this time, and you will not have similar problems in the future. But then, you must run this company according to the idea of ​​my boss. Or, you can find another way, do you understand?"

Carol Bartz felt Simon's undoubted tone, glanced at the other two, and paused before finally nodding and saying, "Well, Simon."

Simon looked at Jeff Bezos again.

Jeff Bezos also nodded: "I have no problem."

"So, to talk about the issue of treatment," Simon slowed his tone, saying: "I think you should know that article of the Westeros 100 million executive club in Forbes magazine, a lot of media carried out some time ago Reported."

All three nodded slightly.

Simon continued quickly: “I don’t want to say that I’m not a mean person. The three of you have joined Igret in a hurry, and the salary terms are not so perfect. Therefore, I’ve recently asked James A new five-year contract. Within five years, as long as the corresponding performance goals are achieved, you can get a long-term equity award. The limitation is that this award can only be redeemed after five years. Within five years of leaving or being dismissed by me, the corresponding rewards will be recovered at the agreed price in the remuneration clause. Generally speaking, within five years, the three of you will each receive about 5% of Igreat’s shares."

Speaking of which, Simon paused for a moment and said: "As for the value of this batch of shares, I can only say that Daenerys made the recent $10 billion valuation of Forbes from a shell in only four years. Cersei Capital has also earned more than US$10 billion in the last two years. There is also Merisandro in Europe, whose share in the Gucci company has tripled in value in a year. Igriette is the fourth woman. Of course, this company will ultimately achieve 1 billion or 10 billion, or higher, to a large extent, it is also you."

After dealing with the matter on Igreat, Simon flew back to Los Angeles after dinner.

If Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz still can't get along and cooperate with each other, Simon will not hesitate to rush people, he will not allow his layout in the Internet industry to be hindered by personnel.

Sophia Fisci contacted here a few days ago, and the British company Lyon, which owns the French Latour winery, recently planned to sell the winery.

Simon's attitude is that it is more cost-effective to collect a national treasure-level winery than any art. Janet has always wanted to buy a top winery. In the past, because there was no suitable target, it could only be built in Tasmania, Australia. A small winery as a ticket.

The other four of the top five wineries in France are basically non-sales, and since Unión intends to sell Latour, Janet flew to Europe on Wednesday.

Although two large-scale acquisitions in the recent plan require huge amounts of money, Simon does not intend to grieve himself for spending such things, and he does not have how many years of saving this hundred million US dollars for investment for Warren Buffett. The idea of ​​how many times it will turn in the future will be the most important now.

In the villa on the west side of Dumei Point.

Simon returned home, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Calculating the time difference, it was five o'clock in London, so I didn't call.

After taking a shower, I sat in a small living room next to the living room looking at the information sent by Daenerys Entertainment at night. There was no curtains. The floor-to-ceiling window was a deep night. I enjoyed this kind of person. The feeling of tranquility alone.

The information is from the Venice Film Festival that just closed yesterday.

Daenerys Entertainment has been shortlisted for two main competition films this year, namely Robert Altman's "Intersection of Life" and Jane Campion's "Angel and Me at the Same Table".

At yesterday's closing ceremony award ceremony, "Intersection of Life" not only won the highest golden lion award in Venice, but also won three other honors.Obviously for the sake of balance, "Angel and Me at the same table", which was also well received by the media during the film festival, got nothing.

Of course, after all, it is something to celebrate, the company has determined that a celebration party will be held in Daenerys Studios tomorrow.

In addition to "Cross Point in Life" and "Angel and Me at the Same Table", Martin Scorsese's "Good Guy" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit, and won the Best Director award.

Turning to the end, Simon accidentally found that there was a newspaper clipping of Rene Russell, the heroine of "Good Guy", which was naturally praised.

Just smile aside and put aside, not intending to involve too much with the women who are destined to just pass by.
