Cloud computing is not a new concept. As early as in the 1960s, John McCarthy proposed that people provide computing power for users in a way like utilities providing water and electricity. As for the later large-scale distributed computing, virtualization technology, Saas application software, etc., none of them is not running towards the direction of cloud computing, which though was not that name. The significance of cloud computing is that it will bring fundamental changes to the life, production methods and business models. Mao Xinsheng, one of the participants proposing IBM cloud strategy as well as president of the IBM Innovation Academy of Engineering, believed that cloud computing is a new business infrastructure and the business opportunities brought by it will be reflected in three areas: new delivery; new insight brought by new data; the marginal cost reduction and self-help services bringing the long tail effect, or even free services. The most direct expression of cloud computing application is that enterprises and individual users get corresponding computing power according to their needs through high-speed Internet, thus avoiding a lot of investment in hardware and equipment maintenance costs. Amazon had the experience deeply. The reason it provides EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) service is the servers it configure according to the sales season are idle in the off-season, so in order to make use of resources more effectively, Amazon provides server rental business to other enterprises. If cloud computing had already provided such services, Amazon could have increased or decreased the number of servers needed at any time, so there must not have EC2 today. As a case of the new delivery model, the emergence of Apple’s iTunes makes music delivery change into online download. The original off-line delivery via tangible media like film, tape and CD is gradually being marginalized, and even loved by enthusiasts. And this is only the beginning. With the popularity of cloud computing, production and lifestyles will have a disruptive change. The services that cannot be provided will be realized in the cloud computing environment. For cloud computing, the place where it can display its skill to the full is to deal with the “Big Data”. Ubiquitous mobile devices, RFID, wireless sensor ... hundreds of millions of users’ Internet service is always in a huge amount of interaction. If you can analyze and use these data well, it is likely to discover new business opportunities and solutions to new problems. When Tory was told the secret to get rs gold, Diablo 3 CDKEY and Tera Gold, he almost cannot believe it. But it is true.
