Cloud computing is a very broad concept, and no one can define it in a few short sentences, which is why the concept of cloud computing has been regarded as a gimmick by many people for a long time.

However, before Simon's rebirth, cloud computing was deeply rooted and ubiquitous.

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

For enterprises, cloud computing is to maximize the efficient use 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 leasing. In fact, this is only the most basic service that cloud computing can provide. Moreover, the basic services such as website hosting and server leasing provided by real cloud computing are still very different from traditional hosting and leasing services.

In traditional hosting leases, users specify server space, then these servers are completely open only to dedicated users. Even if the traffic to the user's website is zero at certain times, the server must keep running, which often results in a huge waste of resources.

Cloud computing provides a highly elastic 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 demand. This also means that a server can provide services to multiple users at the same time, and there will not be too serious resource vacancy.

For example, a user usually only needs 10g of network space, so he only needs to rent 10g of space, but at certain times, due to the increase in user access, the enterprise suddenly needs to increase the server space to 100g. The traditional hosting rental service , encountering this situation is basically a disaster. In order to avoid disasters, companies often can only purchase 100g of space at one time, which results in a sharp rise in costs and a great waste of resources. For cloud computing, only a very simple online expansion operation is required, and the 100g capacity does not need to be rented all the time. After the peak period, the hourly payment standard of 10g can be quickly restored.

Because the efficient use of software and hardware resources can be achieved to the greatest extent, the storage and computing power that cloud computing can provide can even reach more than ten times that of traditional server application models with the same basic hardware scale. Again, this also means a cost advantage over the traditional server application model.

San Francisco, Palo Alto.

Came here on September 17 to mediate the dispute between Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz, while Simon was pulling three of Igret’s executives to discuss Carol Bartz for several days. Ci's one-stop website solution plan based on the concept of cloud computing, this business plan is also evolving in everyone's repeated discussions.

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

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

Simon has never forgotten this, so he has never adopted a too aggressive promotion strategy.

Now, he even has a draft of the 'Information Superhighway Plan' that the current Senator Albert Gore Jr. has been trying to promote all these years. With Simon's current position, it is completely easy to build momentum for this plan, But in order to give Igreit more time to gradually accumulate its technological heritage, he did not do so.

For now, a major factor restricting the development of the Internet industry is the lack of computing and storage capabilities of computer hardware. The popularization and application of cloud computing in advance can solve this problem to a great extent.

Igret's West Coast data center is in a building near Igret's headquarters in Palo Alto.

The time is already September 21, Friday.

This is not the first time Simon has been here recently. After several days of discussions, he once again brought Tim Berners-Lee, Jeff Bezos and Carol Butts into this building. In the center, looking at the expensive minicomputers worth tens of thousands of dollars installed on the server cabinet, everyone's eyes were filled with disgust.

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

Compared with Simon's memory of those large server clusters that were built next to water sources in cold regions and exposed all kinds of hardware and technology, the current data center is not only expensive and efficient, but also inefficient.

Because each minicomputer is a separate individual, once a failure occurs, the maintenance of the machine is second, and the most critical, may even have an impact on the network service of Igreit, therefore, the daily maintenance of the data center also costs Not cheap.

Next, the first step of Igreat's cloud computing plan is to virtualize the existing data center. Of course, this cannot be done overnight, and it will take about a year to develop dedicated cloud computing control software.

At the same time, the team will also set up a hardware R\u0026D department to directly purchase hardware from the underlying chips, motherboards, and storage vendors. According to the plan that everyone has determined in recent days, cooperate with the cloud computing software technical team to develop an integrated server cluster data center.

A data center is a whole, or, when connected with other data centers, the entire Igret data system is a whole, a super-large computer with super computing and storage capabilities.

In memory, cloud computing proposed by many enterprises is the ultimate

The goal is that there will only be one or a few 'computers' left in the world.

The current server leasing is mainly for mature enterprise users, which restricts the development of Internet sites to a large extent, because individual or small enterprises cannot pay for server purchase, lease or maintenance. Simon has recently been thinking about providing the industry with cheap or even free online space for developers to build their own web sites in order to facilitate the faster expansion of World Wide Web technology.

Once Igreit's cloud computing plan is complete, this can be quickly pushed forward by simply using Igreat's own excess server resources.

Listen to the advice of professional and technical personnel, discuss the transformation plan of the data center, and confirm the details of cloud computing research and development.

After leaving the data center, it was already evening.

Sending away the other accompanying employees, Simon only took three of Igret’s executives to a nearby restaurant.

The four sat down and ordered a meal, and Simon said to Bezos and Bartz: "In the morning, Tim signed an equity transfer agreement, and I am now a 100% equity holder of Igret. ."

When Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz heard Simon mention this, they both looked at Tim Berners-Lee subconsciously.

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 the partner Tim Berners-Lee, which is why all funds have to be allocated clearly. Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz's spat over last $50 million allocation made Simon realize he had to fix Tim Berners-Lee's holdings so he could be freer Allocate funds to Igret.

At noon yesterday, Simon invited Tim Berners-Lee to have lunch alone, during which he proposed to buy the 2.5% stake in Lee's hands.

Simon was candid about his intention to do so, and offered a high price of $5 million, which was twice the valuation of Li’s shares when Simon injected capital a few days ago. Tim Berners-Lee also knew that if Igreit wanted to grow rapidly, it needed to continuously invest large sums of money, so he agreed without much hesitation.

Simon believes that Bezos and Butts, two smart people, know their intention to do this, and they do not detour, and quickly continued: "So, from now on, on the issue of funding, I can assure you that you can spend I can give you as much as you lose, but the premise of all this is that you must produce results that satisfy me."

Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz nod together and glance at Tim Berners-Lee together.

Simon noticed the gazes of the two and said, "Tim will still be Igret's CEO. This will not change, because neither of you are suitable for controlling this company for the time being."

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

"Yeah, Tim will act as a buffer between the two of you. As for dominance," Simon pointed to himself with a smile and said, "I'll take charge myself."

Carol Bartz is still a little unwilling: "If you can stay in San Francisco all the time, it's natural, but you don't usually come here once a month, I think it's better for me to run the company. Well, Tim is in charge of R\u0026D and Jeff can focus on running his network department."

Simon shook his head again and said: "Carly, you have to understand that the network department and the software department are completely equal in status in Igret. Frankly speaking, I have higher expectations for the network department. So , Igret's network and software departments must go hand in hand. I believe you also understand that without the support of the network department and without sufficient content resources for the World Wide Web, no one will take a break from the underlying application technology of the World Wide Web. If software such as device is used, it is impossible to sell it.”

Carol Bartz insists: "World Wide Web technology also has a very broad application prospect in the existing enterprise LAN data platform, and the customer base in this area is already very large, we can focus on this field first."

Simon was helpless, and simply gave up reasoning with Carol Bartz, his expression became serious, and said: "Carly, I believe that the results of everyone's discussion on the direction of Igret's development are very mature. In the next stage, Your task is to build a complete software sales network as soon as possible, Tim's task is technology research and development, and Jeff is responsible for the operation of the network department. At the same time, the three of you must work together, because any business of Igret, from Basically, they complement each other. I will help you solve the problem of capital allocation this time, but then, you must run this company according to my boss's idea, or you can find another way, understand? ?"

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

Simon looked at Jeff Bezos again.

Jeff Bezos also nodded: "I have no problem either."

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

All three nodded slightly.

Simon continued: "I don't want to say that I'm not a stingy person. The three of you are actually a bit rushed to join Igret, and the salary terms are not so perfect. Therefore, I recently asked James

Sri Lanka has drawn up a new five-year contract. Within five years, as long as the corresponding performance goals are achieved, a long-term equity award can be obtained. The limitation is that this reward can only be redeemed after five years. If you leave or are fired by me within five years, the corresponding reward will be recovered at the agreed price in the salary clause. Roughly speaking, in five years, the three of you can each obtain about 5% of the shares of Igret. "

Having said this, Simon paused for a moment and said: "As for the value of this batch of shares, I can only say that it took only four years for Daenerys to reach the recent $10 billion valuation by Forbes magazine from an empty shell. Cersei Capital has also made more than $10 billion in the last two years. There is also Melisandre in Europe, whose Gucci stake tripled in value in one year. Igret, it's West. The 'fourth woman' under the Luo company, I believe she is no worse than the first three. Of course, this company will eventually achieve 1 billion or 10 billion, or even higher, to a large extent also depends on you ."

After dealing with Igret's side, Simon flew back to Los Angeles after dinner.

If Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz still can't get along in harmony next, Simon will not hesitate to rush people, and he will not allow his layout in the Internet industry to be hindered by personnel.

Sophia Faisy contacted this side a few days ago, and the British company Union, which owns the French Chateau Latour, plans to sell the chateau in the near future.

Simon's attitude is that it is more cost-effective to collect a national treasure winery than any art. Janet has always wanted to buy a top winery. In the past, because there was no suitable goal, she could only build one in Tasmania, Australia. Small winery as a play ticket.

The other four of France's top five wineries are basically not for sale, and now that Union intends to sell Latour, Janet flew to Europe on Wednesday.

While the two major acquisitions planned in the near future will require huge sums of money, Simon does not intend to wrong himself when it comes to spending money, nor does he have the kind of Warren Buffett who saves a hundred million dollars to invest years later The idea of ​​how many times it will be doubled, and living well now is the most important thing.

Inside the villa on the west side of Cape Dumei.

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

Counting the time difference, it was five o'clock in the morning in London, so there was no phone call.

After taking a shower, I sat in a small living room next to the living room by the sea and looked at the materials sent by Daenerys Entertainment at night. I didn't draw the curtains, and it was a dark night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The peaceful feeling of being alone.

The information is about the Venice Film Festival in Italy, which just concluded yesterday.

Daenerys Entertainment has been shortlisted for two films in competition this year, Robert Altman's "Intersection of Life" and Jane Campion's "Angels and Me".

At the closing ceremony yesterday, "Intersection of Life" not only won the Golden Lion, the highest honor at the Venice Film Festival, but also won three other awards. Presumably for balance sake, "Angel at the Table with Me", which was also well-received by the media during the festival, was nothing.

Of course, it's something to be happy about after all, the company has decided to hold a celebration party at Daenerys Studios tomorrow.

In addition to "Intersection of Life" and "Angels at the Table with Me", Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit and won the Best Director Award.

Turning to the end, Simon found that there was a page of newspaper clippings of "Goodfellas" heroine Renee Russell in the file, which was naturally praised.

Simon just smiled and put the clippings aside.

Some women are just passersby after all.
