Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

In 2002, there were 6.2 billion people in the world, and nearly 1.3 billion people grew flowers. In the United States, there were nearly 300 million people.

Moreover, both China and the United States are vast countries. Most of all living beings are just like passing clouds. If you want to find a specific person, even if you know it, sometimes it is difficult.

Not to mention, Ning Zimo is always a self-aware person. He knows very well that even if he has skills, has predictions about the future, has a trough in his chest, and a world in his belly, he only knows all this.

.

If it weren't for the first step to make a name for himself in Beibao and he wanted to recruit every talent for his own use, opportunities, luck, methods, and methods would all become constraints.

Therefore, even though Chen Shijun and Guido Van Rossum met and introduced each other, Ning Zimo still cherishes this opportunity.

Ning Zimo chose to use an engineer-like open and honest communication method from the beginning to open up the communication bridge between Guido Van Rossum.

"We are preparing to build a cloud service provider based on cloud computing. This project has many service projects that can be used to bring python together. We need a group of experts who can use python. You can use the working method I mentioned to make python

When it grows stronger, this project can be successfully established. This is a win-win cooperation method."

As expected, Ning Zimo's simple and direct approach suited Guido van Rossum's taste.

"Ning, the idea of ​​continuing to develop python while working is really tempting. For this reason, it is really worthy of me joining your team and even introducing many people to it. However, you mentioned cloud computing... and cloud services on the phone yesterday.

What kind of thing is it and why have I never heard of it before?”

Guido van Rossum readily agreed to the working method proposed by Ning Zimo, which was what Ning Zimo expected.

It is common sense that for people like Guido van Rossum, who is obsessed with technology and pays little attention to other industries, he has never heard of cloud computing and cloud services.

Ning Zimo smiled secretly, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued digging, "In the 1990s, Sun CEO Scott McNeely (Scott Mealy) once proposed the concept of "the network is the computer".

Although this concept never became a reality in the enterprise market at that time, it is likely to appear in another form in new fields.

Look at today, the gradual development of SaaS technology, the increasing variety of web products, and the reinstallation of web os all illustrate the advent of a new whirlwind era of the Internet.

At the same time, the Internet, which was once subject to bandwidth limitations, is developing with the rapid popularization of broadband networks and wireless networks.

Including 3G, 4G, and 5G, which are gradually developing towards digital mobile phone networks. Although they have not yet appeared, they will gradually iterate within 20 years.

All of this allows us to foresee the development trend of the future network. This also makes the concept of "the network is the computer" of the last century gradually possible.

At the same time, the functions of computer networks are data communication, resource sharing, improving reliability, promoting the development of distributed data processing and distributed databases, balancing loads, and cooperating with each other.

So through this definition, can we understand it as "if the network is to be a computer, data communication, storage and download, resource sharing", it can meet the basic requirements."

Ning Zi paused for a moment, leaving some time for the three guys in front of him to digest the content and ask questions.

But whether it was Chen Shijun, Pan Yu or Guido van Rossum, apart from contemplating Ning Zimo's preliminary content, they didn't ask any questions. Instead, they looked forward to more in-depth content.

Seeing the situation of the three people, Ning Zimo was extremely happy, "We all know that based on such a network environment, it is not enough to just meet the basic needs. Therefore, we need to make the concept of 'network is a computer' more concrete,

Hence the concept of cloud computing.

These three levels, iaas, paas and saas, form the overall architecture of cloud computing technology, which may include some virtualization technologies and applications, automated deployment and distributed computing technologies. The advantage of this technical architecture is

It can show excellent parallel computing capabilities, large-scale scalability and flexibility to the outside world.

Cloud services are based on the above-mentioned technical architecture of cloud computing, and are an IT service model that is distributed on demand and can be measured externally. This service model can replace the user's local self-built IT services, whether it is a virtual host,

Whether vps host or managed host, they are both fixed service resources. However, cloud services based on cloud computing are flexible services..."

Discuss technology with technicians,

Discuss the market with market personnel,

Discuss the concept with the boss of Strategy.

Can make the other party understand clearly,

And seize the opportunity to understand the future,

It also made the other party full of expectations.

This is a new way of communication that Ning Zimo has refined in his previous life and added to this new experience in this life.

As for any new thing, if you look at it from the perspective of hindsight, you will naturally feel that Ning Zimo has said too much.

But standing in an era where even new things cannot be fully understood,

For example, telling others in 2002 that Bitcoin could rise to $19,000?

Nonsense, right?

What Ning Zimo wants is to convince others, to understand them and understand what he wants to do.

As for the risks involved, those who want to participate will make their own assessments.

Everyone has brains, no one is smarter than anyone else.

Having confidently talked about a long paragraph in one breath, Ning Zimo picked up the Coke on the table and drank it in a big gulp. After a few sips, his throat was finally not so dry. When he put down the cup, Ning Zimo found that Guido van Rossum was stunned.

Looking at him blankly.

Ning Zimo thought that there was some residue on his face when he drank the coke just now, so he embarrassedly picked up a tissue and dipped it on his face, but he heard Guido van Rossum's unexpected answer.

"Ning, I seem to have heard this idea of ​​yours from my friends. But it's obvious that their understanding of this technology is still in the discussion stage, and is far less thorough and thorough than your understanding of the 'cloud technology' you named it.

." Guido van Rossum scratched his head, "I think if you really need a lot of people, you can consider recruiting them together."

"Your friends have already discussed cloud technology?" Ning Zimo suddenly thought of a possibility.

In the previous life, the concept of cloud technology took shape at the end of the 20th century, but it was only gradually proposed in 2003 in the 21st century, and it was only initially characterized and promoted in 2006. Therefore, Guido van Rossum's words made Ning Zimo

A possible name immediately came to mind.

"Yes, a few of my friends in an e-commerce company."

"E-commerce company?" After hearing this answer, Ning Zimo became more and more sure of the company's name.

"Yes, although I don't remember much, I have the impression that the company was named after a trench."

The answer is about to come out!

"It must be Mariana."

Ning Zimo's firm answer surprised Guido Van Rossum, "How do you know it's it? Yes, it's Mariana."

"The deepest trench in the world, I guessed it." He spread his hands and shrugged, Ning Zimo's expression made Guido Van Rossum immediately lose the desire to pursue this issue.

"If you are willing, I think you can let these friends of mine come and chat together, and we can try to persuade them to do this project together." Guido Van Rossum could only turn the topic to his own topic, "They are too

Do you think that’s okay?”

"It's not necessary." Ning Zimo smiled and shook his head. His refusal immediately caused Guido Van Rossum to crash.

Ning Zimo understands Jiduo's good intentions, but this project is very special. Ning Zimo's understanding and judgment of the cloud market are different from other projects. This is a special market that needs to be cultivated and educated. It needs to be capable enough

Only when people work together to do this can the cake be made bigger in a faster time.

In the previous life, the pioneer of cloud services was Mariana, a b2c e-commerce company. Their [aws] project only included a few different tools and services in the early stages. After proposing this product, they spent a year exploring it before making it public in 2003.

The new standard that is fully standardized and fully automated redefines the concept of [aws].

It was not until March 14, 2006 that [aws] was officially relaunched, and three initial service products combining cloud storage, sqs and ec2 were launched. At that time, Mariana's [aws] platform truly provided a set of

Integrated core online services.

Until 2006 in the previous life, the global cloud service market was less than 50 billion US dollars. It was not until 2018 in the previous life that the global cloud service market reached 300 billion US dollars.

An increase of US$150 billion in 2012 fully demonstrates that the cloud service market is actually a nurturing market with a long development curve.

Besides, the competition in cloud services is about the ecosystem built by software and hardware. The ecological chain or even the ecosystem has never been something that Ning Zimo, a time traveler, worries about!

More importantly, the key to suppressing Mariana is not cloud services...

Ning Zimo patted Guido van Rossum, who was down, and he quickly came back to his senses, just like a computer that had been restarted.

Smiling at him, Ning Zimo comforted and said, "Jido, we don't need too many people, and we don't need to poach people to reduce competition. The market for cloud services is huge, enough for several of our companies to develop together. And you

Join our team and have enough time and energy to develop python.

It's enough for us to reach an agreement today, and the rest will wait for my plan."

Guido van Rossum felt that something on the face of Ning Zimo across from him was very familiar.

He had that thing when he was young,

If I remember correctly,

that thing,

It should be called,

confidence.
