In addition to the bank problems, the housekeeper's two business plans will need to face a variety of challenges if they are to succeed.

Simon's attitude has remained the same, ideas are not valuable, and the key is to turn ideas into reality.

However, after nearly a day of meetings, the two business plans were quickly finalized.

The two plans this time will still be attached to Igretech, using Igretech's IE browser platform and e-mail user group as a promotion carrier.

At the same time, the housekeeper will serve as the head of the online software store team, temporarily holding the title of project manager of Igret Company, but reporting directly to Simon personally, and will continue to help Simon take care of his private property. Jeff Bezos will be personally responsible for the development of the online payment system because of his Wall Street bank experience.

Both AOL and Bell Atlantic will provide all necessary support for both business plans.

Other than that, as long as the online payment system can be realized and users turn to online payment, both AOL and Bell Atlantic can save a lot of operating expenses in the future.

When the meeting was over, the names of the online payment tool and the online software store were also settled.

Everyone is not too entangled in this issue, named ypay and ystore respectively. The 'y' is naturally the first letter of ygritte.

I will stay in San Francisco tonight. After get off work, I will send the housekeeper back to the mountain house in Woodside to prepare dinner. Simon brings the female assistant who came to San Francisco as usual, as well as Jeff Bezos and Tim Berners. Lee, Carol Bartz and others rushed to another office building near the headquarters of Igret.

Igret has been growing in size, but Simon has no intention of building a corporate headquarters for the company unless the company is profitable or has an IPO.

Because there is not enough headquarters office space, Igret's various teams are now scattered all over Silicon Valley.

The cloud computing development plan team finalized and implemented last year is located in this ordinary white two-story office building where Simon and others arrived.

After entering the door, Simon's first feeling was that the temperature inside the building was obviously higher than that outside, giving people a feeling that the heating was turned on. After listening a little, Simon quickly understood that this was probably because dozens of computers of various sizes in the building continued to run for a long time.

Signaling the employees in the office cubicle on the first floor to continue working, Simon and the others walked to the stairs by themselves.

On the second floor, the humming sound when the computer is running is even more obvious. This is also a simple office cubicle. At the end of the cubicle, against the wall, stands a row of servers with blinking lights.

Ralph Goodell, chief engineer on the cloud computing team, has his cubicle next to that row of servers.

Ralph Goodell is a top software engineer hired by Jeff Bezos from ibm. He graduated from MIT. Before leaving ibm, he had been the vice president of the research and development department, mainly responsible for the research and development of unix server systems.

Although a giant company like ibm has at least dozens of vice presidents, in order to poach Ralph Goodell, Bezos still spent a lot of trouble. Offered a high annual salary of $2.5 million for the other party.

The annual salary of $2.5 million is several times higher than the base salary of the trio of Jeff Bezos, Carol Butts and Tim Boners-Lee.

Of course, Ralph Goodell doesn't have the lucrative equity bonus deal that Bezos has.

After joining the job, Ralph Goodell quickly went to work.

In just two months, while writing the basic code of the cloud computing system, I chose to form a cloud computing development team. At this time, the more than 30 employees in the two-story office building were basically selected by Ralph Goodell and Jeff Bezos from hand-to-hand interviews across the United States.

Right now, Igret's cloud computing plan has a special codename: housewife.

This is mainly from a call that Ralph Goodell had with Simon in person before he confirmed his entry. Ralph Goodell asked Simon what kind of so-called 'cloud computing' system he wanted. After all, this concept has not been used before. appeared.

Simon naturally does not understand too profound technical principles, so he can only make a metaphor.

Igret’s current data center is handled like a clumsy little woman who just got married, spending an hour doing laundry, an hour cooking, an hour cleaning, and so on.

Among them, the waiting time between washing clothes, the waiting time between making apple pie, and the waiting time between waiting for the floor to dry after mopping the floor are all wasted.

This is the way the servers operate in existing data centers, which only mechanically handle specific functions such as user login, data storage, and word processing in a confirmed order. Once there is no corresponding data operation request, the processing power is idle.

This situation can easily lead to a strong imbalanced state in which some servers are idle and others are full.

What Simon needs is to train this clumsy little woman to be a housewife who can efficiently use her time and energy to do laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. at the same time.

Specifically, it is to connect all the servers in the Igreit data center into a whole to create an efficient computing instruction distribution system, so as to achieve sufficient

The purpose of utilizing the computing resources of each server.

Because of that conversation, the cloud computing initiative got its name.

Ralph Goodell, who saw the huge development potential of this plan, also quickly chose to resign from ibm.

Everyone walked over and saw an unshaven middle-aged white man wearing glasses with high myopia staring at the computer screen. The other two engineers around the middle-aged man noticed the appearance of Simon and others. Simon raised his hand to stop it.

Everyone stared at the computer screen that was constantly streaming data and waited patiently for five or six minutes. Finally, a statistic appeared on the screen, 73%.

"Fake!"

Simon still didn't understand what happened, but Ralph Goodell, who was sitting in front of the computer, subconsciously uttered an American scolding.

Tim Berners-Lee, noticing the doubt in Simon's eyes, explained in a low voice, "Ralph is testing fault-tolerant software."

Simon nodded, roughly remembering some of the project progress information he had seen before.

Once the cloud computing architecture is completed, all data centers are connected in parallel as a whole. With thousands of processors and a larger number of components, failures may occur anytime, anywhere. The fault-tolerant software developed by the cloud computing team is used to detect faults and automatically transfer the computing tasks of faulty nodes to other places.

Strong fault tolerance is actually one of the important advantages of cloud computing.

In traditional data centers, once a server fails, certain functions may be shut down directly. Even with perfect backup measures, even if engineers can handle it in a timely manner, it still takes time in the middle, which may lead to very serious consequences.

Cloud computing system can solve this problem very well.

The failure of a small number of servers will not have much impact on the operation of the entire system.

In the office cubicle, after an American scolding, Ralph Goodell woke up from his concentration just now, finally noticed the arrival of Simon and others, and quickly got up to say hello.

After a few chats, everyone came to a conference room next door together.

Ralph Goodell personally briefed Simon on the progress of various aspects of the cloud computing plan, during which he also said that if Simon wants a perfect cloud computing system, he may have to wait until next year, because he has recently generated a lot of good ideas , requires more development time.

Simon neither agreed nor urged, just let Ralph Goodell do his best.

Cloud computing needs enough volume to form a scale effect. Therefore, the demand for cloud computing systems is not so urgent for Igrett, which has only a few million users. When all aspects of the business of the portal website are fully developed and the number of users accessing the World Wide Web in the United States reaches tens of millions, that is the time for cloud computing to take advantage of its high efficiency and low cost.

At this point, it will probably take a year or two.

Therefore, Simon is not in a hurry.

In the next two years, Igreit will continue to expand the data center according to demand, and these computing power will not be wasted. Moreover, as long as the cloud computing plan is completed, the excess computing resources released can also support Igreit to promote more development plans.

Because of the chatter, everyone did not leave the office building until it was completely dark.

Now that it was time for dinner, Simon simply invited everyone to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

At more than nine o'clock, Simon finally returned to Woodside's mountain villa with his female assistant.

Entering the living room of the villa, the housekeeper was sitting on the sofa in the living room looking through a document. When she saw Simon and the two appear, she got up and asked, "Boss, do you need to make dinner again?"

Simon then remembered that when he left the headquarters of Igret, he told the housekeeper to come back early to prepare dinner.

"No, have you eaten yet?"

The housekeeper nodded, but there was nothing strange on her face.

Simon didn't feel embarrassed either, took off his trench coat, and the female assistant and the female housekeeper stepped forward subconsciously at the same time. Just smiled and handed the windbreaker to the housekeeper. Simon asked Jennifer, "Do you want to take a bath?"

"OK."

The female assistant nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.

Simon sat down on the sofa in the living room and took a look at the material the housekeeper had just flipped through. It was a paper on data encryption.

Alice Ferguson helped Simon hang up his clothes and came back and sat down on the sofa next to him.

Simon patiently read the paper in his hand, but he could only be regarded as half-understood, and he didn't mean to spend any energy to study it carefully, and asked casually, "What about Zoe and the others?"

"It's already rested," the housekeeper said, looking at the information held by her boss, and said, "I think the security of user accounts in the future will be a big challenge for us."

Simon smiled: "How are you going to solve it?"

"I think Igreit should establish a technical team dedicated to network data security as soon as possible."

"It seems that this department already exists."

"There are only eleven people. I checked their information, and they are all ordinary. None of them are experts in the field of computer security. This is far from enough."

"Take the time to chat with Jeff. In fact, you should understand that the main thing is that there are too many projects that Igret needs to focus on now, and it is inevitable that omissions will be made," Simon said, and added: "Also, the matter of network security , just do your best, because it turns out that no matter how strict the system is, it will be broken, and the key to this matter is not technology."

The housekeeper asked curiously, "What's that?"

Simon raised his head from the information in front of him, looked at the housekeeper, smiled and patted beside him, saying, "Come, sit next to me."

The housekeeper paused, then got up and sat down next to Simon.

It's just that he can't help but straighten his back, his body is obviously stiff.

Simon was very satisfied as he sniffed the scent of the good-smelling woman beside him. There was no outrageous movement, and he leaned on the sofa relaxedly, answering the question just now: "The key lies in people."

The housekeeper was numb to her boss's occasional provocation. Seeing that he obviously didn't mean to do anything, she quickly relaxed and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I just said that even the most sophisticated system can be breached. The key is how we handle it. For example, a hacker stole $100 from our user account, what do you think we should do?"

"Call the police."

"Of course you have to call the police," Simon laughed. "But do you think the police will go to war for $100?"

The housekeeper didn't answer this time, just looked at Simon, waiting for her boss to continue.

"The police can't handle it even if they want to. This kind of thing is inevitable, so we need to deal with it ourselves." Simon said, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Don't say $100, even if someone dares to buy from Igret's $1 is stolen from a user account, as long as we catch each other at any cost and send them to jail. Then, with such a case, the number of hackers who dare to attack the user account of Igret will be a lot less, because they know that even if only Steal $1 and they'll get caught."

The housekeeper can imagine how the hacker who stole $1 was sent to jail, of course, the charges would not be $1, stealing software, destroying the system, there are many charges.

Just, how to find this person?

Simon noticed the doubt in Alice's expression, he couldn't help reaching out, his index finger picked the delicate chin of the housekeeper, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are a very serious and good girl, then don't worry about it, just sit still. It's your job."

For ordinary people, if the police don't care, it will definitely be called heaven instead of earth.

For Simon, things are very simple.

In this world, there is still a profession called private detective. Not even bounty hunters are missing. There are bounty hunters in reality, and there will also be "bounty hunters" on the Internet who do certain things for money.

Even Simon suddenly realized that he could even use this excuse and opportunity to create an intelligence network exclusive to the Westeros system. Including real life and online.

Thinking of this, Simon couldn't help but start planning.

It seems a good idea to poach a group of people from intelligence agencies such as fbi, cia or overseas mi6 to form a detective company.

Well, it should be a lot of scattered mini detective companies, so that the target is not too conspicuous. As long as they are properly controlled, these detective companies can form a complete intelligence network.

Perhaps, some additional top hackers could be recruited.

Part of the group of hackers does pursue technology and freedom, but also part of it pursues real money, which is exactly what Simon can give.

With the continuous expansion of the Westeros system, if such a private intelligence network can be built, it can definitely help Simon solve too many things.

The key to why Edgar Hoover, the first FBI director of the United States, was so powerful in those days was that he created and controlled the intelligence network of the FBI for decades.

Edgar Hoover went through 8 presidents during his tenure, and no one in power dared to mention deposing Hoover's office. Until the other party dies, a generation is not over.

Subsequently, although the U.S. government immediately imposed various restrictions on the heads of intelligence agencies such as the FBI, those in power who discovered the potential energy of intelligence networks tried their best to reach into these networks, trying to gain power similar to Hoover. .
