Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi stopped attending the product meeting and started working on the second thing, attracting some well-known Internet companies to settle in Ziweiyun!

Alibaba has basically done it.

On this year's "Singles' Day" on November 11, Ziweiyun will undertake a high-concurrency task for the first time and cooperate with Taobao. Ziweixing originally wanted to provide services for Alipay. After all, the concurrency of the payment system is also very high.

But it was rejected by Ali.

They believe that the payment process is the top priority and the most fundamental user experience, and they are unwilling to contract such an important task to a newly developed project that is not mature.

They are probably also worried that financial-level data will be stolen by Ziweixing.

Alipay’s data is an important reference for Alibaba’s small loans.

The second target is Sohu.

This one is relatively simple.

Sohu is an old friend and user. Sohu not only joined Ziweixing’s “gold coin wallet” system to unify the gold coins of both parties’ businesses, but also previously provided Sohu’s “life” section during Ziwei Cloud’s internal testing phase. Went up.

In the evening, Zhou Buqi invited Zhang Chaoyang to sing at KTV together.

Lao Zhang loves to play, so of course he agreed.

After going there, Lao Zhang was a little dumbfounded, "What's going on?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "What happened?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Just the two of us? What's the point of two big men singing together?"

Zhou Buqi looked at him suspiciously, "Call me princess?"

Zhang Chaoyang was not interested in this and said angrily: "Invite a few more friends to come over and play together. It's just the two of us. We might as well go to Houhai and find a bar to sit for a while."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Isn't this what I want to discuss with you? It would be noisy if I went to a bar."

"You come to KTV to talk about business?"

"No delay!"

"What's going on?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's about Zi Weiyun."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded, "After half a year of internal testing, the results are relatively good. I feel that your technical level is higher than Amazon!"

"Yeah?"

Zhou Buqi didn't have such confidence.

Although Amazon's technology is looked down upon by Silicon Valley giants, it is a world-class giant and the pioneer of cloud computing Laas, and Ziweiyun also imitates them.

Zhang Chaoyang obviously knows more about technology than Zhou Buqi. "Didn't you just come back from the United States? Haven't you heard about Amazon?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't pay much attention to it. Anyway, Amazon's technology is a joke in Silicon Valley. People with lofty ideals are unwilling to go there. They say they are just a selling platform."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "In June this year, Amazon experienced a large-scale outage that lasted for more than three hours. During this period, users could only browse blank and partial product pages."

Zhou Buqi vaguely heard that someone had mentioned it before, nodded and said: "Well, cloud computing is a new technology and a new project after all, and it is definitely not stable in terms of stability."

Zhang Chaoyang took a bottle of foreign wine, looked at it, didn't like it, and changed it to another bottle. He seemed to be more satisfied, poured two glasses, and said slowly: "This is not the first time. In 2006, Dang It was down for 30 minutes, and there was a large-scale outage last year that lasted for 90 minutes."

Zhou Buqi frowned.

Now I understand why the domestic group wants him to come back to promote Ziweiyun's external promotion.

This thing is very unstable!

Even Amazon Cloud has experienced such a big turmoil, let alone Ziweiyun, the imitator of Amazon Cloud?

There are definitely a lot of people who lack confidence.

Every time a website goes down, it means losses. If it cannot be repaired in time, it will even affect the brand image and become a joke in the industry, just like Amazon's treatment in the United States.

Zhang Chaoyang raised his wine glass and briefly clinked it with him. "With Amazon's scale, every minute of downtime costs more than 50,000 US dollars. These incidents at Amazon have affected the cloud computing model they promote." Big doubt.”

"Good thing."

Zhou Buqi said something incomprehensible.

Zhang Chaoyang looked at him blankly and said, "Drink too much? No, you can drink enough!"

Zhou Buqi laughed twice and drank the wine in his glass. His expression remained unchanged and he had a good drink capacity. He smiled and said, "The concept of cloud computing is very hot recently. Many companies in Silicon Valley are following suit." Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Yahoo, IBM, Adobe, and HP are all doing it. The more Amazon Cloud does, the more jokes it makes, and the fewer imitators, how great is that?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "I heard that the industry consensus is Google's model."

Amazon Cloud's model is Laas, Google's model is Paas, and Microsoft's model is Saas. Amazon is a laughing stock, Microsoft sells software, and many cloud computing companies entering the game are learning from Google.

This has obviously become a huge advantage for Ziweixing.

Zhou Buqi helped him pour the wine, shook his head and said: "Google's choice may not be right every time. I am optimistic about the Amazon model. Amazon makes fools of itself, which reduces the industry's confidence in this direction. Ziweiyun will also have less competition. Opponent. Maybe Amazon also did it on purpose, deliberately making others look down on itself, and then quietly making a fortune."

Of course this is impossible. Zhang Chaoyang couldn't laugh or cry, "You really know how to think! Americans are not as fancy as you are!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "As for Ziweiyun, I looked at the relevant data and didn't quite understand it. But when I look at Ziweiyun's services, it seems that the longest downtime is only 26 seconds."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Yes, the downtime is very short, even better than our own server at Sohu. It's just that there are too many downtimes. I think it's also a technical defect. Amazon Cloud's downtimes are not many, but downtimes are The time is too long. The downtime of Ziwei Nebula is very short, but there are too many downtimes."

"I remember... I only remember 162 times, right?"

"Isn't that much? If the modules supplied by our own server are down two or three times a month, it is too much. You have been down more than 160 times in the past six months."

"Is the loss big?"

"Nothing to lose," Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand nonchalantly, "The life section is just a small module, and your distributed technology is very good. It should be managed by partition. The server in one area went down, and soon the other one was down. The partition server is connected as soon as it is enabled. There is no need to restart the local server before running it again."

After he said this, Zhou Buqi suddenly remembered, "Yes, yes, it seems that the technical department also said the same. I didn't pay much attention at the time. It seems that Amazon Cloud and Ziwei Cloud have chosen different technical routes. , is logical."

"Ah?" Zhang Chaoyang was a little funny, "You understand again?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Analyze, you idiot! Amazon is an e-commerce platform and has a payment service. If the computer goes down during the payment process, not only will the experience be poor, but financial problems may also occur. Mistakes are very serious. So they would rather choose long-term downtime than high-frequency downtime. Ziwei Cloud serves more non-financial businesses and can tolerate short-term downtime of a few seconds or more than ten seconds. Even if the user accidentally reaches a blank page, they will think it is a network problem. Refreshing the web page may solve the downtime problem and open it without affecting the user experience. "

Zhang Chaoyang was somewhat surprised and looked at him up and down, "Is this what you think or what others told you?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I think so. Taobao's Singles' Day traffic is very large, so we need to cooperate with Ziweiyun. But for Alipay business, they will do it themselves and will not go to the cloud. Combine this with what you said , I thought of it, it should be this kind of technical logic.”

"Quite smart."

"Thanks."

"Next step, I will put the sports section, military section, and fashion section of Focus.com and Sohu on the cloud. Sohu will take the lead, and then you can use Sohu's brand and internal test data to attract other companies. "

Zhang Chaoyang generously asked for help.

In fact, it is also relieving Sohu’s current operating pressure. Sohu Video's business is now very popular, and it has launched a series of self-made entertainment programs that are deeply loved by the majority of netizens.

However, online video is a high-load business with great operational pressure. Sohu needs to spend huge sums of money to purchase new servers and a series of operating equipment. The purchase quotation provided below is US$24 million.

The risk is very high.

If you buy a bunch of servers and Sohu Video fails, you will suffer a big loss.

It just so happened that Ziweiyun was becoming more and more mature and was trying to open up on a large scale.

Sohu can put some of its more mature and stable businesses on Ziwei Cloud, and transfer the vacant servers to Sohu Video, which can save a lot of money.

Zhou Buqi was still not satisfied and asked: "17173 can also be put up!"

Zhang Chaoyang glanced at him and hummed: "That's a game website. There are many online games. What if the computer crashes and the signal is cut off while playing? When did those social games on Friends Network go to the cloud? 17173 again let's go!"

Zhou Buqi nodded.

From this point of view, Ziweiyun's technology research and development road still has a long way to go, and there are still many problems that need to be solved. Well, now Ziweiyun also has overseas business and has a group of engineers from Silicon Valley. Ziweiyun's development path will definitely be much smoother than that of various domestic clouds in previous lives.

After the serious talk, it’s time to sing.

It's indeed a bit boring for two big men to sing together.

Fortunately, Xu Baihui came with people soon. It was crowded with a group of graceful girls with long legs. The weather was cold, so they were all wearing black tight leather pants, identical leather pants.

The coats varied, and everyone wore a cap, pulled low, and a mask.

Zhang Chaoyang can understand this look at a glance!

Needless to say, he must be a star!

so much?

Who are they?

He knew Xu Baihui and Mr. Xu, and there were two ladies wearing different trousers next to them. They should be agents. The main companions should be these girls wearing uniform leather pants, right?

Arriving at the private room, Xu Baihui greeted her warmly, and then the girl behind her began to take off her clothes.

Take off your hat, take off your mask, take off your coat...

At this time, Boss Zhou and Boss Zhang had the same idea, waiting for them to take off their trousers, but they stopped, stood in a row, bowed, and said in raw Chinese: "Hello, sir." , we are Girls’ Generation.”
