In the era of cloud computing, with the change of IT application mode, the work of IT department has gradually changed from the initial technical department to the promoter and implementer of business change, which makes IT department devote more energy to enterprise business.
Not just the development of information technology. The development of IT technology department's potential is reflected in CIO's increasing concern about operating costs, information security and other issues. In view of the inherent existence of open source in these aspects
It can be predicted that open source will play an increasingly important role in these aspects. The development ideas and operation modes of cloud computing open source software abroad will undoubtedly bring a lot of enlightenment to domestic open source vendors.
The development trend is worth studying.
Advantages: The flexibility and expansibility of open source will promote the development of cloud computing technology in China.
What are the innate advantages of open source in the era of cloud computing? From the perspective of infrastructure, the advantages of cloud computing come from the flexibility and scalability of infrastructure.
Flexibility is reflected in the convenience and speed of deploying new applications and services for users. Server virtualization technology is widely used in most cloud infrastructures. Virtual integration, virtual splitting and virtual migration make users become the focus.
It is similar to "virtual server" instead of "physical server", including the running ability of virtual server configuration, the flexibility of operating system and application, or how many "physical servers" make up "virtual server"
problem In this regard, the flexibility of open source gives more room for development. Compared with non-open source resources, users are more likely to cope with complex hardware environments and unique industry application implementations.
The scalability of cloud computing simply means that users can configure corresponding devices at will according to changing resource requirements, such as capacity expansion of storage resources. In addition, most host virtual machine servers that apply cloud infrastructure are hard.
Compared with the typical single-function server, the server is more stable and has higher utilization rate. Open source virtualization technology or cloud operating system with clear architecture and transparent kernel plays a key role here.
In view of these advantages of open source, developing open source in the era of cloud computing in China will help promote the development of cloud computing industry: first, open source will promote the maturity of cloud computing infrastructure to meet the needs of users; Secondly, due to the transparency and security of open source, cloud computing related standards are easier to form; Third, open source will give greater play to the flexibility and scalability advantages of cloud computing technology.
Enlightenment: Enlightenment of the development model of foreign open source funds on the open source development in China.
Looking at the development of open source in the international cloud computing field, the development ideas and operation modes of OpenStack and CloudStack are particularly noticeable in the field of cloud computing.
OpenStack is a cloud computing project jointly launched by Rackspace, a web hosting service provider, and NASA. It aims to formulate a set of open source software standards, which is convenient for users to build their own flexibility.
In the cloud computing environment, OpenStack is currently operated by an independent fund, which is conducive to widely collecting feedback and suggestions, selecting the most reasonable structure and process, and balancing project management.
On the other hand, attract the enthusiasm of more participants. CloudStack platform under Citrix is an open source cloud computing software based on Java, which can accelerate highly scalable public and private clouds.
(IaaS) deployment, management and configuration. April 20 12, CloudStack open source software joined Apache Software Foundation, which indicates that CloudStack will be upgraded to a complete one.
Completely open source Apache project. CloudStack's move will break the monopoly of OpenStack and promote OpenStack and
CloudStack's * * * is the same as progress and collaborative innovation, and ultimately benefits users.
China users are no strangers to open source products and are committed to the cloud computing transformation of IT systems.
In the upgrade, in addition to the consideration of cost budget and information security, China CIO pays attention to the flexibility and continuity of open source products or solutions, and the service quality in the later period has also become a standard for CIO to measure the value of a product.
Right place. At present, the ability of service providers accompanying open source cloud products or solutions is still lacking, which has become one of the obstacles to the popularization and application of open source technologies related to cloud computing. In addition, domestic evaluation of open source cloud products or solutions
Lack of standard system and organization is also a big obstacle. We expect China cloud computing research institutes, enterprises and fund institutions to cultivate similar open source organizations and launch corresponding open source products to make up for the deficiency of the cloud.
The shortage of domestic basic software in the computing era will promote the development of open source technology in the cloud computing era in China.
Three Development Trends of Open Source in Cloud Computing Era
Open source software will shine in the application of mobile cloud services. Use tablet computers such as iPad
With the popularity in the market, the market heat of mobile terminals is heating up again, and the market growth rate in the field of mobile terminals exceeds 40%. Google's open source operating system Android dominates the mobile terminal market, and its market share
Up to 50%. The mobile cloud services designed and developed based on Android system are constantly enriched, and applications such as personal storage mobile cloud storage and music * * * mobile cloud music are popular, making open source software possible.
There is a huge application space for mobile Internet cloud services. The open source software in mobile cloud service applications is not only Android, but also Chrome, LiMo, Meego and so on.
Linux operating system, as well as cloud service applications such as Sparkleshare, it is obvious that open source in the cloud era will inevitably shine in the implementation of mobile cloud service applications.
The profit model of production and use will promote the perfect combination of open source and cloud computing. The attraction of open source software is that it can help users reduce costs, and cloud computing will become the best way for enterprises facing open source software to achieve profitability.
One way. At the beginning, traditional users hesitated about the risks of open source software, but cloud computing technology dispelled this concern, and the combination of open source and cloud computing became the development road of open source enterprises. Technical docking between open source and cloud computing
There are two development trends: first, open source software will become an important part of cloud computing SaaS product development; The second is the open application proposed by cloud computing technology promoters such as Google and Amazon.
Programming interface will be widely used in the research and development of open source code. The maturity of technology application will form a good production and profit model, which is conducive to the perfect combination of open source and cloud computing. Although it will take some time to adapt, it is not.
It is often obvious that the combination of open source and cloud computing will be accepted by more and more industry users.
Open source in the crisis era will boost the wave of cloud computing and gain more market opportunities. exist
Under the influence of uncertain factors such as the global financial crisis in 2008 and the European debt crisis of 20 10, both government users and enterprise users are trying to reduce IT expenditure to reduce costs, open source software and cloud computing.
Become the first choice with its own advantages. In the United States, for example, the White House website adopts an open source platform solution, and the US Department of Defense also supports the use of open source for software development, as do the US Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy.
Take cloud computing system as the focus of government IT procurement. Affected by such policies, some open source vendors have shown a good development momentum. For example, RedHat, a Linux manufacturer, has a good financial situation and is rated as the best.
One of 10 IT companies, domestic open source enterprises, such as winning the bid for software, have also achieved good results in recent years. At the same time, governments around the world are also introducing open source policies, and users' choice of open source solutions has become a kind of.
New trends. European and American governments have repeatedly taken legal measures to oppose the monopoly of the software industry, which will be conducive to fair competition in the software market and promote the healthy development of the software industry; On the other hand, it also creates opportunities to achieve non-opening
The interoperability between source code and open source enhances the compatibility of both parties and reduces the difficulty of users. It can be seen that open source in the crisis era will boost the tide of cloud computing and gain more market opportunities.
