Wu Liang arrived in Hangzhou on November 10th. He did not agree that Ma Yun had too many stalls on Double Eleven, but he also did not oppose Ma Yun's urgent mentality of creating a shopping festival on Double Eleven.

Enterprising is the most important thing.

Therefore, on the day before Double Eleven, Wu Liang also arrived in Hangzhou. He also had to witness the "spectacle" of the Taotao Shopping Festival or the possible problems on Taotao.com.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Taotao.com's traffic has begun to rise sharply, which puts pressure on Taotao.com's servers.

Although Ma Yun also considered the traffic peaks that Taotao.com might usher in, he still underestimated people's enthusiasm for shopping, especially the dazzling variety of products with such a strong promotion.

Merchants also actively responded to Taotao.com's call to carry out promotional activities.

Chu Ziman and Wu Liang flew back to Los Angeles to sit in the city after being bored with the magic city for a few days. His official flagship store of Haoshi was naturally the one that responded most positively. In Chu Ziman’s words, “the items are a bit squeezed Many, it's time to clear the inventory!"

Yes, many merchants are very clear about Taotao.com's promotional activities, but it is still a question mark what kind of influence can be achieved. There are also new products, but most of them are still squeezed in the warehouse. .

For example, for a certain shampoo, a travel-size shampoo was developed, but the market was not very good. A big sale started on Taotao.com, and the price was almost half the usual.

In addition, there are also out-of-season products. For example, a certain summer socks are horribly cheap. Many people buy them with the idea of ​​"socks, they are bought in the wrong season, and they can be worn next summer!" It's also a good choice to come back to the village.

Similar promotions cater to most people's psychology, and this can be considered a reasonable response for businesses.

In short, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the lack of preparation is obvious, just like Ali did not realize the changes in flow.

Although there are still two hours before Double Eleven officially starts, the server is already a little overwhelmed. Ma Yun appears worried. Even if Wu Liang arrives, he can't bother to greet him, urging the technical department to find a solution.

Wu Liang sighed secretly, "The broken network these years is really bad!"

He wondered which god of the celestial dynasty conquered optical fiber technology?He remembered that he had watched a documentary, which described it very clearly. Of course, only the people of the Celestial Empire could achieve the price of cabbage forty yuan per kilometer for optical fiber.

Even if the technical department tried everything possible, at twelve o'clock, some users could not access the homepage of Taotao.com. Even if they logged on to the Internet, only Paybao could not log in and could not complete the payment.

In the first ten minutes of Double Eleven, the transaction volume was only tens of millions, which was a huge blow to Ma Yun.

He is a little bit decadent, but as time goes by, some buyers who stay up late are also a little sleepy. Coupled with the poor internet usage conditions, many people stay in bed and the server pressure drops drastically.

The webpage can be opened normally, but the transaction volume has picked up, Ma Yun looked better now.

Taking advantage of everyone's excitement, Ma Yun convened a temporary meeting in the headquarters. The main topic was how to increase the speed of the website and how to improve it in the future.

Wu Liang saw that everyone was not very interested. Obviously, such a brutal injury was too depressing. He coughed, "Then I will throw a brick to attract a jade! We all know that Hangzhou will arrive in 2005. Modu’s ultra-large-capacity optical fiber communication system has been opened, which has achieved a bandwidth of 10T. In other words, in the future, Modu’s access to Taotao.com will be very fast!"

Wu Liang looked at these technicians and couldn't bear to beat them, but the topic still had to be explained thoroughly, "Then, this means that our servers will be under more pressure! What should we do?

Purchase more servers.

So the question is, we invested a lot, just to ensure the smooth operation of the network on Double Eleven?

This is obviously a very extravagant behavior!

I have an idea here. I will call it cloud computing, the cloud of white clouds. Of course, you can also add a prefix to the word cloud, and cloud computing is also OK!Think of it as teacher Ma’s invention, I have no objection!"

Wu Liang smiled and teased Ma Yun, deliberately creating a relaxed working atmosphere.

When Wu Liang said this, Ma Yun first asked curiously, "Don't sell it, just say it!"

Wu Liang didn't intend to sell the key. The first time he proposed cloud computing was ancient songs. It was proposed in 2006. Wu Liang now proposes this explosive concept. It can be said that the demand for real applications has promoted the development of technology. It would be more appropriate to propose it on this day.

"If computing power is regarded as a commodity that can be circulated on the Internet, just like water, electricity, and gas, it can be easily accessed and the price is relatively low, then can we do this?

We have set up a large computer array, and we will make full use of the computing power of the array on Double Eleven. However, when space is available, we can sell this part of the computing power like water and electricity, so that our resources will not be idle !"

This concept put forward by Wu Liang makes everyone find it quite interesting. Several technical experts are also interested in asking questions, "So how to realize computing power?"

In his previous life, Wu Li was doing middleware software work. Wu Liang asked his old girl about what cloud computing is, and Wu Li also explained to Wu Liang in the simplest and most understandable words, which made Wu Liang He completely swept away the blindness of cloud computing. He remembered what Wu Li said to him at the time, “Cloud computing was originally distributed computing, which was to allocate a computing task to different resources for calculation, and merge the calculation results back to user."

Wu Li still explained the simplest application to Wu Liang. He used two software to explain to Wu Liang. For example, apache and tomcat are two softwares. Apache is a web server software that can only handle static web pages. After the user’s request is received, it can be distinguished whether it is dynamic or static. If it is a static webpage, apache says it can handle it by itself, but if he distinguishes that it is a dynamic webpage, he can’t handle it, but he knows who can deal with!

So, he gave the dynamic web page to tomcat to do it, and then the user got a dynamic page.

Tomcat is such a middleware application software. The middleware software deals with different response requirements. The middleware is in the middle of the operating system software and the user's application software.

Middleware generally has tuxedo, which is used by the banking and financial industry, which is relatively old but still in use. It is transaction middleware.

Then there are many message middleware in distributed systems, and application server middleware. The tomcat just now belongs to application server middleware.

In detail, Wu Liang just knows a rough idea, the important thing is the concept of cloud computing.
