The cloud computing era is coming?

In the era of cloud computing, software has become a service, and in North America, the application of cloud computing has become a manifestation of the strength of a large number of system integrators. They will make full use of their own advantages to integrate applications for customers and change cloud services. Become a saleable product, such as cloud backup, cloud archive, etc.

The advantages of Openstack, such as controllability, compatibility, scalability, and flexibility, are gradually emerging.

IBM recently conducted two large-scale acquisitions. It recently acquired cloud computing infrastructure company slftlayer, and provided cloud computing services to users in the smartcloud product portfolio. At the same time, it recently took over the acquisition of Israeli virtualization management software company CSL. International. After acquiring the two companies, IBM will enable users to virtualize resources on multiple servers in a single system, including CPU, memory, storage, and network resources.

IBM positioned the deal as a strategic investment in the System z portfolio and said the acquisition will improve integration and cloud capabilities by simplifying management of the virtualized environment. CSL's CSL-WAVE software allows companies to monitor and manage their z/VM and Linux systems in a System z environment through an easy-to-use interface.

The foundation of cloud computing - virtualization technology will be integrated into the System z architecture. IBM offers designs that scale better and share everything to maximize the utilization of computing resources—nearly 100%. This latest acquisition will further enhance the value of IBM Cloud Services. IBM is now fully committed to open source cloud computing operating system OpenStack.

Similarly, HP introduced OpenStack-based next-generation general-purpose architecture, HP Cloud OS, for its private, hosted, and public cloud products. As an open, scalable cloud technology platform, HP Cloud OS enables workload migration, simplifies installation, and improves lifecycle management on hybrid clouds.

Hua Sheng Tiancheng, the representative company for cloud computing development in China, has also released the first OpenStack service center in China.

OpenStack has now become an open source project for global developers to participate in. It aims to implement a "cloud operating system," a platform with the ability to deploy and manage public, private, and hybrid cloud infrastructures. Therefore, it is very necessary for China to jointly build an open source cloud computing technical support and consulting center to promote China's cloud computing process.
