Since the concept of "cloud computing" was first proposed in 2006, the development of global cloud computing has gone through a full 10 years. From concept to landing, cloud computing experienced various ups and downs, and the market and technology have entered a stage of rapid growth. Rapid growth brings not only the extreme expansion of demand, but also the problems that have never been seen before.
Shannon's theorem and Moore's Law tell us that any thing that develops to a certain stage will inevitably create a bottleneck. Now, cloud computing is also experiencing its "Shannon's Theorem" and "Moore's Law", and the reasons for it are derived from its infrastructure - traditional servers, that is, traditional servers and cloud applications no longer match.
Cloud computing is growing at a high speed, but the server is sluggish?
“All organizations will begin digital transformation.†IDC said in the “2016 Top 10 Forecasts for ICT Marketsâ€. As an important technology pillar of global economic development, cloud computing supports the digital transformation of government and enterprises, as well as six major innovation industries such as artificial intelligence, which have broad development prospects.
In fact, the global cloud computing market is on a high-speed growth track. The data shows that the typical cloud service market represented by IaaS, PaaS and SaaS in 2015 reached 52.24 billion US dollars, a growth rate of 20.6%. It is expected to reach 143.53 billion US dollars in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 22%.
In stark contrast to the rapid growth of the cloud computing market, the overall performance of the global server market is sluggish. According to Gartner data, global server shipments increased by 2.0% in the second quarter of 2016, and revenues fell by 0.8% over the same period. However, the growth of the high-density server market is very eye-catching. In the second quarter of 2016, global high-density server shipments and revenue growth during the same period both exceeded 100%.
High-density servers are the preferred type when building a new generation of cloud data centers. In the overall downturn of the market, they can also be eye-catching, and precisely because of the growth in the cloud computing market.
In the cloud era, traditional servers are sung?
In the traditional mode, server vendors only provide a single server product, they only need to make the server products quality enough, low enough to be able to occupy a place in the market. Today, this model is no longer adapted to the current cloud computing market. In other words, traditional general-purpose servers have gradually failed to match cloud computing business needs.
In the era of cloud computing, the amount of data and processing capacity of cloud data centers have increased dramatically. The rapidly growing demand for cloud computing services challenges traditional IT technology solutions. Traditional servers are becoming less and less suitable in cloud computing environments, and more and more problems have been exposed. Due to the lack of targeted design, whether it is the existing high-end, high-performance servers, low-end, micro-servers, there are problems in terms of scalability, cost, energy consumption and efficiency.
The mismatch between the traditional server architecture and the cloud application load is manifested in the following: lack of professional architecture, it is difficult to efficiently support concurrent more than 100 million; traditional Internet architecture is difficult to meet the scale of cloud computing host resource sharing; traditional server in small scale simple cloud load situation The efficiency is too low; the cloud data center consumes a lot of energy and cannot meet the requirements of green energy conservation.
What kind of new server does the cloud era call for?
What kind of server can perfectly control cloud computing applications and solve many problems faced by traditional servers? In other words, when the server vendor designs the server, what factors should be considered to better match the cloud computing application?
First of all, we must fundamentally think about and design the architecture of the server for the characteristics of cloud computing. Cloud computing has the characteristics of high concurrency, low computational requirements, flexible deployment, on-demand resource allocation, and versatility. Only server development for these features can better adapt to cloud computing applications.
Second, not only must consider the technical characteristics of cloud computing, but also closely design the server in line with the needs of cloud computing users. In the era of cloud computing, servers with higher density, higher energy efficiency ratio, lower cost, better management and so on are undoubtedly more popular among users.
Finally, server vendors should not only patch on traditional architectures, but use innovative thinking and even subversive thinking to design and develop servers, and achieve new changes in server architecture to keep pace with the rapid development of the cloud computing era.
In the face of the fast-rising cloud computing market, should server vendors seize opportunities, actively innovate, actively occupy or stick to tradition, follow innovation, and wait and see? Let us look forward to the answer to the market.
Power cord can be used in wide range of industries. Home appliances, charging equipment, lighting, Gym appliance, computer, tool, pump, compressor, medical equipment, and so on. All products which are driven by electricity need a power cord.DC (direct Current) power cord is used to the applicance with lower voltage mostly, so safety requirement is less stringent.
