ushered in the new year.

All major colleges and universities are having holidays one after another.

On the Beike campus, in the white world of ice and snow, students are bustling with each other, pulling their boxes and embarking on their journey home.

After all, there are only a few who work part-time.

It's winter vacation again, and the Spring Festival is at the end of the month. Almost no students will choose to stay in school for the Spring Festival. Times are very different from those ten or twenty years ago.

Today, the Student Activity Center is quite busy.

Feng Xingguang, a senior student in the Department of Computer Science at Renmin University of China and a member of the membership purchase project team, came to Beike with confidence to start an important project report in his life.

Last night, he received an email from Guo Pengfei, telling him that this online diary project has been highly recognized, and classmate Zhou Buqi even named it "Micro Point Notes" himself.

Actually, this is just a small project.

The hard part is the creativity, but the operation is very simple.

It's just a emasculated version of email.

Today's email mailboxes generally have a capacity of 3M or 5M and can store tens of thousands of emails. If you need a larger capacity mailbox, you need to pay. Business people like Zhou Buqi who need to process thousands of emails a day must

Enough to buy email service.

Moreover, the mailbox needs to have sending and receiving functions.

Micro-notes are not required. Just write and synchronize. The research and development difficulty is only 10% of that of email.

But even so, Zhou Buqi attached great importance to this project and even called Zhang Yiming and Ji Zian over to listen to Feng Xingguang's project report on "Micro Notes".

The four most powerful people of Ziweixing Technology, Zhou Buqi, Guo Pengfei, Zhang Yiming and Ji Zian, all appeared in a grand scene. Not to mention Feng Xingguang, even them were a little confused.

I wonder why such a small project can bring them together?

I made 93 pages of PPT, and it only took 10 minutes to start with the first five pages.

Reporting experience is obviously insufficient.

Guo Pengfei frowned and said: "Student Feng Xingguang, there is no need to talk too much, and there is no need to go into too much detail. Just explain clearly the general idea, architectural logic, and what kind of functions it will be used with. Pick the key points.

"

Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "Just make it clear what you think is the key point."

Feng Xingguang was a little embarrassed, and the subsequent reporting process was indeed much faster.

During this period, Guo Pengfei, Ji Zian, Zhang Yiming, Zhou Buqi and others all took pens to write and draw, recording something, and listened very carefully.

After half an hour, the report was over.

Everyone also put forward some of their own doubts, ideas and suggestions, which enriched the product framework.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "This idea is quite good and can meet the learning needs of college students. This project can be called micro-note taking. If you are asked to lead a team to take charge of this project, can you make it happen?"

Feng Xingguang, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again and said excitedly: "Give me two people and a server, and I can make it before the Spring Festival!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Then let's do it first. Report to Guo Pengfei before the holiday and make the first version. After the holiday, we will make test adjustments and connect with Oriental Micropoint."

Guo Pengfei and Ji Zian both nodded.

This project has been arranged.

It wasn't really difficult at all.

However, what Zhou Buqi wants to say next is the core point.

"Classmate Feng Xingguang, you can go back to school to organize a team. In addition to the basic salary, the school network will give you a special grant of 10,000 yuan as operating expenses. I hope you will not disappoint everyone."

"I promise!"

Feng Xingguang came excitedly and left excitedly.

I feel that my career path is stable. I don’t need to apply for any school recruitment anymore. I will work at Ziweixing from now on! Follow the school network and Dongfang Weidian, and I will definitely make a big career!

After sending Feng Xingguang away, Zhou Buqi stood up, walked to the whiteboard, erased the writing on it, turned around and said seriously: "What I want to say today is the top secret of Ziweixing Technology.

As for the strategic development plan for the next ten years, no one should talk about it except a few of us, including Wang Haoyang."

Zhang Yiming, Ji Zian and Guo Pengfei looked at each other and nodded.

really!

Everyone gathered here today, it’s not just about taking notes.

Zhou Buqi pointed at Guo Pengfei and said, "I've told you about cloud computing a long time ago. First, let's popularize what cloud computing is."

Guo Pengfei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Cloud computing... This idea should have been around 20 years ago. It mainly means network computers. Today's personal computers are all equipped with their own CPUs and their performance is not high, so

Only some basic program processing can be run. If through the Internet, put

The local computer and the cloud... that is, the server terminals are connected together, allowing the cloud server to perform more efficient and larger-scale calculations, and then feeding the data results back to the local computer, which can solve a lot of local problems. Generally speaking

, Cloud computing is ultra-large-scale computing placed in the cloud."

Ji Zian asked: "I don't know much, let me ask... Once all personal computers are connected together, it will be necessary to handle the computing requests of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of personal computers at the same time. How big will that be?"

Scale? You need a supercomputer, right?"

Guo Pengfei glanced at Zhou Buqi and shook his head: "According to past thinking, this is indeed the case. However, in 2003, Google scientists published several blockbuster papers and formally proposed the feasibility architecture of cloud computing. Yes.

Based on distributed processing, parallel processing and network computing, huge calculations are processed through the network

The program is automatically split into countless smaller subroutines and then handed over to a huge system composed of multiple servers for calculation and processing. This is cloud computing. Through this technology, the cloud can process thousands of tasks in a matter of seconds.

Tens of thousands or even billions of information can be provided with network services as powerful as a 'supercomputer', but the cost is greatly reduced."

Ji Zian took a deep breath.

His complexion changed slightly.

Subconsciously asked: "Has Google done it?"

"No."

Guo Pengfei shook his head.

Ji Zian didn't know what to say.

Among the current Internet companies in the world, Google has the best technology. Even Google does not do cloud computing. How difficult is this technology?

Should our small company, which has only been founded for more than a year, try an area that even Google has not ventured into?

Aren't you too carried away by the victory?

Zhang Yiming immediately made the association, was shocked, and couldn't help but said: "We are cooperating with Microsoft Research, and the data processing system we are developing will involve massive amounts of data... Is this paving the way for cloud computing?"

Zhou Buqi said: "More than that, we sent people to Wangsu Technology to learn the construction of distributed edge servers and CDN technology for this purpose."

"hiss!"

Zhang Yiming also took a deep breath.

It feels like there is a big, empty, fantasy bubble above my head...it may contain a bright light of the future, or it may be a dark light of the present.

This goal is too big!

Correspondingly, the risk is too great.

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "The Internet was born in the United States, and Internet technology was also born in the United States. Although our country is known as the second largest Internet country after the United States, in fact, it is as thin as paper. Except for Baidu, any

An Internet company does not have core technology. How do you say Ziweixing in English? Emperor Star! It is the Emperor Star! We are the Emperor Star of the Chinese Internet, so we must master the core things. I judge that cloud computing is the future."

"The technical requirements are too high." Zhang Yiming's face was heavy.

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course, it is precisely because the requirements are too high and the task is too arduous that I have to tell you early. Excellent people must develop a habit, which is to think deeply. Whether it is abroad or domestic, outstanding people

People are all the same. They will think deeply about a question that they continue to think about every day, or think deeply about something that they have no answer to. For me

Said, this problem is technology, core technology! And my choice is cloud computing. Now, I will hand over this problem to you, let us all think about it together. Of course, it is not just cloud computing. Cloud, will

It is an important part of the future Internet, just like a public large computer connecting the world. Cloud computing is the processor of this computer."

Guo Pengfei had been with him the longest and could understand his thinking best. He immediately understood and blurted out: "In addition to the processor, there is also a hard drive! Personal computer data can be processed by the cloud, and of course it can also be stored by the cloud.

.Just like micro-notes, the notes written by individuals are not stored in the local computer, but are stored in the cloud...that is, in the terminal server, thereby improving the user experience."

Ji Zian and Zhang Yiming suddenly realized.

No wonder Boss Zhou brought everyone together today. It turns out that micro-notes have such an important and potentially far-reaching role.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, the current technical conditions and equipment conditions are limited, so Weidian Notes can only provide users with a very small amount of storage space. In the future... it will be able to provide users with tens of terabytes of storage

Space. To this end, I propose a new concept called cloud storage."

"Cloud storage..."

Zhang Yiming took a long breath and felt something troubled on his back. It was not fear, but excitement. It was like Yu Boya meeting Zhong Ziqi, and he had the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant.

Regardless of whether cloud computing and cloud storage can be achieved, such long-term goals are the true manifestation of the value of life.

Guo Pengfei said: "Amazon's direction is also quite good. They want to provide cloud services for small companies. Small companies do not need to purchase IOE equipment to build websites. They can directly process, store and manage data in the cloud. Oracle criticizes it every day,

But I think Oracle’s approach is from a previous era.”

"Of course, the cloud is the future of the Internet!" Zhou Buqi glanced at Ji Zian, who was confused, and said with a smile: "How big is the installation package of Micropoint Antivirus?"

"More than 400M."

"When it starts up, it runs very slowly, right?"

Ji Zian nodded, "There's nothing we can do about it, all anti-virus software is like this."

Zhou Buqi shook his head: "Others are lagging behind, but we cannot lag behind. The installation package of anti-virus software is large because the anti-virus program must be loaded into it so that users can kill viruses locally. However, the cloud is the future, including cloud security."

“Cloud security?”

"Yes, put the anti-virus program in the cloud, and the local end only encapsulates some software interfaces, skins and personal information, which is an installation package of about 5M. When using it, the computer scan is completed through the anti-virus program in the cloud. It can be huge

It reduces the size of the anti-virus software, thereby allowing the personal computer to run more smoothly."

"this……"
Chapter completed!
