Cloud computing is a very broad concept, and no one can define it in a few short sentences. This is also the reason why many people have used it as a gimmick for a long time after the concept of cloud computing was proposed.

However, before Simon's rebirth, cloud computing was already deeply rooted in people's hearts and was everywhere.

For end users many years later, network disks, cloud documents, mini programs, streaming media, etc. are all specific applications of cloud computing.

For enterprises, cloud computing is to maximize the efficient utilization of computer software and hardware resources through large-scale distributed parallel computing.

Ordinary people often associate cloud computing with concepts such as website hosting and server rental. In fact, this is just the most basic service that cloud computing can provide. Moreover, the basic services such as website hosting and server rental provided by real cloud computing are still very different from traditional hosting and rental services.

In traditional hosting rental, if the user specifies the server space, then these servers are only open to special users. Even if the user's website visits are zero during certain periods, the server must remain running, which often causes great waste of resources.

Cloud computing provides a very flexible virtual server space. Users do not need to specify a specific server, but are automatically allocated by the cloud computing system and can be purchased on time on demand. This means that a server can provide services to multiple users at the same time, and there will be no serious resource vacancy.

For example, if a user usually only needs 10g of cyberspace, then only needs to rent 10g of space. However, in some periods, because the number of user visits increases, enterprises suddenly need to increase the server space to 100g. Traditional hosting and rental services are basically a disaster when encountering this situation. In order to avoid disasters, enterprises often can only purchase 100g of space at one time, which causes a sharp increase in costs and a huge waste of resources. For cloud computing, it only requires a very simple online expansion operation, and this 100g capacity does not need to be rented all the time. After the peak period, the 10g time payment standard can be quickly restored.

Because it can maximize the efficient utilization of software and hardware resources, the storage and computing power that cloud computing can provide can even reach more than ten times that of traditional server application mode. Similarly, this also means that it is a cost advantage far exceeding the traditional server application mode.

San Francisco, Palo Alto.

While coming here on September 17 to mediate the dispute between Jeff Bezos and Carol Butz, Simon has been pulling three executives of Igret to discuss Carol Butz's one-stop website solution plan based on the concept of cloud computing for several days. This business plan has also evolved through repeated discussions.

The Internet industry has already passed its infancy, but this seedling is still very weak now.

Because of the powerful practical application functions of http and html technologies, the expansion of World Wide Web technology in recent months has been much faster than Simon imagined. However, many functions of related technologies are still under continuous research and development.

Simon never forgot this, so he never adopted a too radical promotion strategy.

Now, he even has a draft of the "Information Highway Plan" that current Senator Albert Gore Jr. has been trying to promote over the years. With Simon's current status, it is completely easy to build momentum for this plan, but in order to give Egret more time to accumulate technical background step by step, he did not do so.

At present, a big factor limiting the development of the Internet industry is the lack of computer hardware computing and storage capabilities. Realizing the popularization and application of cloud computing in advance can solve this problem to a large extent.

The West Coast Data Center of Igret is located in a building near the headquarters of Igret in Palo Alto.

It was already Friday, September 21.

This is not the first time Simon has been here recently. After several days of discussion, he brought Tim Berners Lee, Jeff Bezos and Carol Butz into the data center again. Looking at the expensive small machines installed on the server cabinet around him worth tens of thousands of dollars, everyone's eyes were filled with disgust.

However, the serious server array in front of us is a very traditional data center model in this era.

Compared with the large server clusters built in Simon's memory that are directly exposed to various hardware and technology-rich water sources in cold areas, the data center in front of him is not only expensive and efficient, but also inefficient.

Because each minicomputer is a separate individual, once a failure occurs, machine repair is second and most critical, and may even affect Igrit's network services. Therefore, the daily maintenance of the data center is also expensive.

Next, the first step in Igret's cloud computing plan is to virtualize the existing data center. Of course, this cannot be achieved overnight. It will take about a year to develop dedicated cloud computing control software.

The team will also set up a hardware R&D department to directly purchase hardware from the underlying chips, motherboards, and storage merchants. Based on the plans determined by everyone in recent days, we will cooperate with the cloud computing software technology team to develop an integrated server cluster data center.

A data center is a whole, or, when connected to other data centers, the entire Igrit data system is a whole, a supermain computer with super computing and storage capabilities.

In my memory, the ultimate goal of cloud computing proposed by many companies is that there are only one or several "computers" left in the world.

Current server leasing is mainly aimed at mature enterprise users, which greatly restricts the development of Internet sites, because individuals or small enterprises cannot pay for server procurement, leasing or maintenance costs. Simon has been considering recently that in order to promote the faster expansion of World Wide Web technology, it provides the industry with cheap or even free online space for developers to build their own network sites.

Once the cloud computing plan of Egret is completed, you can quickly promote this by using Egret's own unnecessary server resources.

Listen to the suggestions of professional and technical personnel, discuss the transformation plan of the data center, and confirm the research and development details of cloud computing. The afternoon passed quickly without realizing it.

It was already evening when I left the data center.

Sending away other accompanying employees, Simon only took three executives from Igret to a nearby restaurant that had been booked in advance.

The four of them sat down and ordered the meal. After the waiter left, Simon said to Bezos and Butz: "In the morning, Tim had signed an equity transfer contract. I am now 100% of the equity holder of Igret."

When Jeff Bezos and Carol Butz heard Simon mention this, they both subconsciously looked at Tim Burners Lee.

Tim Berners Lee just smiled and nodded slightly.

The two turned to Simon again, waiting for him to continue.

Simon's previous consecutive capital injections have taken great care of the interests of Tim Berners Lee, which is also the reason why funds in all aspects have to be clearly distributed. The dispute between Jeff Bezos and Carol Butz over the last distribution of $50 million made Simon realize that he must resolve the shareholding problem of Tim Berners Lee so that he can allocate funds to Egret more freely.

Yesterday at noon, Simon invited Tim Berners Lee to have lunch alone and formally proposed to buy out 2.5% of the shares in Lee.

Simon explained his intention to do this very frankly and offered a high price of $5 million, which is equivalent to twice the valuation of Li's shares when Simon invested in the capital a few days ago. Tim Berners Lee also knew during this period that if Igrit's company wants to grow rapidly, it needs to invest a large amount of money uninterrupted, so he agreed readily.

Simon believed that Bezos and Butz knew their intention to do this, so he did not go around the corner and quickly continued: "So, from now on, I can assure you about the issue of funds that I can give you as much as you can spend, but the premise of all this is that you must come up with the corresponding results."

Jeff Bezos and Carol Butz nodded together, and at the same time they couldn't help but look at Tim Burners Lee.

Simon noticed the eyes of the two and said, "Tim will still be Egret's ceo, and this will not change, because you two are not suitable for controlling this company for the time being."

Carol Butz couldn't help saying, "But, Simon, I think the company should have a leader."

"Yes, Tim will act as a buffer between you two, as for dominance," Simon pointed to himself with a smile, "I will take responsibility for it myself."

Carol Butz was a little unwilling to give up and said, "If you can stay in San Francisco, that's perfect, but you don't usually come here once a month. I think it's better for me to take charge of this company. Tim is responsible for R&D, and Jeff can focus on operating his network department."

Simon shook his head again and said, "Carly, you have to understand that the status of the network department and the software department in Igrit is completely equal. To be honest, my expectations for the network department are higher. Therefore, Igrit's network and software department must go hand in hand. I believe you should also understand that without the support of the network department and without sufficient content resources of the World Wide Web, no one cares about the underlying technology application of the World Wide Web, and the browser and other software we developed will not be able to sell it."

Carol Bartz insisted: "World Wide Web technology has a very wide application on the existing enterprise LAN data platform, and the customer base in this area is already very considerable, so we can focus on this field first."

Simon had no choice but to give up on reasoning with Carol Butz, and his expression became serious, saying, "Carly, I believe that in the development direction of Igret, everyone's discussion results are very mature. In the next stage, your task is to establish a complete software sales network as soon as possible. Tim's task is to develop a technical research and development, and Jeff is responsible for the operation of the network department. At the same time, you three must cooperate together, because any of Igret's business is fundamentally complementary. I will help you solve the problem of capital allocation this time, and you will not have similar problems in the future. But, next, you must run this company according to the ideas of my boss, or you can find another way out, do you understand?"

Carol Butz felt Simon's unquestionable tone, glanced at the other two, paused, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, Simon."

Simon looked at Jeff Bezos again.

Jeff Bezos nodded, "I have no problem either."

"So, let's talk about the treatment," Simon slowed down and said, "I think you should know the article in Forbes magazine's Westeros system's billion-dollar executive club, which was reported some time ago."

All three nodded slightly.

Simon quickly continued: "I don't want to say that I'm not a stingy person anymore. The three of you join Igritte are actually a bit hasty, and the salary terms are not so perfect. Therefore, I recently asked James to draw up a brand new five-year contract. Within five years, as long as you achieve the corresponding performance goals, you can get a forward equity reward. The restriction is that this reward can only be cashed in five years. If you leave within five years or are fired by me, the corresponding reward will be recovered at the agreed price in the salary terms. Generally speaking, in five years, you three can get about 5% of Igritte's shares respectively."

Speaking of this, Simon paused for a moment and said, "As for the value of this group of shares, I can only say that it took Daenerys to reach the recent valuation of Forbes' $10 billion US dollars. Cersei Capital has also made more than $10 billion in the past two years. There is also the European Melisandra, whose shares in Gucci have tripled in one year. Igrit is the fourth woman. Of course, the company's final achievement of 1 billion or 10 billion, or higher is largely due to you."

After dealing with the matter on Egret's side, Simon flew back to Los Angeles after dinner.

If Jeff Bezos and Carol Butz still cannot live in harmony and cooperate in harmony, Simon will rush people without hesitation, and he will not allow his layout in the Internet industry to be hindered by personnel.

Sofia Fessi contacted here a few days ago and United Leon, a British company that owns French Latour winery, plans to sell the winery recently.

Simon's attitude is that it is more cost-effective to collect a national treasure winery than any artwork. Janet has always wanted to buy a top winery. In the past, because he had no suitable goal, he could only build a small winery in Tasmania, Australia as a ticket.

The other four of France's five major wineries are basically non-sales. Since Unileon intends to sell Latour, Janet flew to Europe on Wednesday.

Although the two large acquisitions planned in the near future require huge amounts of money, Simon does not intend to compromise himself when it comes to spending money, nor does he have the idea of ​​Warren Buffett, the idea that he will save this million US dollars in many years of investment. The most important thing is to live a good life now.

Inside the villa on the west side of Dumei Point.

When Simon returned home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Calculate the time difference, it was five in the morning in London and there was no call.

After taking a shower, I sat in a small living room next to the living room near the sea to look through the information sent by Daenerys Entertainment at night. There was no curtains, and the dark night outside the floor-to-ceiling window. I really enjoyed the tranquility of being alone.

The information is the Venice Film Festival that just closed yesterday.

Daenerys Entertainment has been shortlisted for two main competition films this year, namely Robert Ultraman's "The Intersection of Life" and Jane Campion's "The Angels Are Me Desktop".

At the closing ceremony yesterday, "The Intersection of Life" not only won the highest Golden Lion Award in Venice, but also won three other honors. Obviously for the sake of balance, "The Angel and Me", which was also well-received by the media during the film festival, won nothing.

Of course, it is something to celebrate after all, and the company has confirmed that it will hold a celebration party at Daenerys Cinema tomorrow.

In addition to "The Intersection of Life" and "The Angels Are With Me", Martin Scorsese's "Good Guy" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit this time and successfully won the Best Director Award.

At the end, Simon accidentally found a page of newspaper clipping articles of Renee Russell, the heroine of "Good Guy", which naturally received good reviews.

Just Xiaoxiao put it aside, not planning to get too involved with the women who are destined to be passers-by.
