   The Nicholas Group and Cisco have sent invitations to the major innovative high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. This kind of momentum is by no means idle! Netscape browser, IMDB website, Nicholas website, Cisco official website are also promoting the upcoming product launch conference of Noah's Ark! ! !

   "Noah's Ark is here, have you bought tickets on your website?"

   bombing advertisements across the Internet, almost every netizen who surfs the Internet will see this sentence.

  Noah’s Ark’s product launch conference has not yet been held, but it has aroused people’s strong curiosity!

   Many newspapers and media have also begun to report on this!

   Company CEO Bob Gallaher is full of confidence. He said that Noah's Ark Company will surely soar into the sky this time!

   It didn't take long for December 1st, and many people came to the product launch of Noah's Ark. Among them, even IBM, Apple, and Microsoft sent their respective company representatives to come!

   On the exhibition stand, the lights are shining. There is a red carpet on the ground and a projection cloth on the background wall. A Web Ark One was placed in the most central position, but it was blocked by a red cloth at the moment.

   The time for the press conference is almost here. Bob Gallagher wore a neat suit and walked onto the stage confidently!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to participate in the product launch of our Noah's Ark company!" Bob Gallagher talked to hundreds of audience Kaikai, "Although I am handsome, there are still many people who are not Know me. Therefore, in order to let everyone know me as a handsome guy, I will introduce myself first. Ahem... My name is Bob Gallagher and I am unmarried... So, if there is a beautiful woman who likes me, please remember to contact me privately. Oh me! Okay, just made a joke with everyone!!!"

   Bob Gallagher humorously, then walked to the center of the exhibition stand, placed his right hand on the red cloth, and said, "Have you seen this thing on the stage? Are you very curious?"

Bob Gallagher did not immediately unveil the red cloth, and instead said: "I believe everyone has read on the Internet,'Noah's Ark is here, have you bought a ticket on your website?' This sentence! That's right, we, Noah. The Ark’s product launch is related to the website. As we all know, you need a computer with excellent performance to open a website. But the current supercomputers are too expensive, and ordinary computers can easily cause the website to crash. So we, Noah’s Ark, specialize in research and development. A product to solve this trouble for the website company!"

   "Now, it's time to uncover this mysterious veil!" After Bob Gallaher finished speaking, he immediately lifted the red cloth, revealing Web Ark One.

   Everyone first thinks that this thing is very similar to a computer, except that it is a bit bigger than an ordinary computer.

"This thing is called a web server. It is a special computer designed and served for the web. Compared with general-purpose computers, it has more advantages in terms of processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, and manageability. It must be many times stronger! With it, you don’t have to worry about the website crashing easily. It was born for the website!!!"

   Then, Bob Gallagher explained and demonstrated.

   Many people under the stage have built websites, and some of them have crashed. The emergence of web servers is undoubtedly a boon.

   Generally speaking, they need to use a supercomputer to build a website. Otherwise, if the traffic is large, the website will be delayed. But supercomputers are expensive, and ordinary companies can't afford it! A supercomputer can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn. This is considered cheap. If it is expensive, it can cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Someone may ask now, how much is your web server? Hehe, I can tell you that it is much cheaper than the supercomputers you are using now! Well, I don’t want to discourage your appetite anymore, its price is only ten Ten thousand dollars! You heard that right, only one hundred thousand dollars!!! For one hundred thousand dollars, you can have a web server comparable to a supercomputer! So, if you need to build a website, please buy a web server!!!"

   "In addition, our company will also set up a server hosting department to provide hosting services for major websites, that is, you can spend money to rent our web servers. And the hosting fee is not expensive, only pay 2500 US dollars per month!"

   Finally, Bob yelled "Noah's Ark is here, please buy tickets on the website" and ended the product launch.

   After the press conference, three companies placed orders and each ordered a web Ark One. Another five companies applied for custody services. In the following month, people called the company every day to inquire about the situation. Although not many web servers were sold, there were many websites that applied for hosting, with a total of more than 20.

   On November 31, 1987, the number of global websites exceeded 10,000!

  According to the statistics of domain name management companies, the number of domain names applied for now exceeds the 10,000 mark, and the number of websites should soon be 10,000! Even if only one-fifth of the websites are hosted by Noah's Ark, Noah's Ark can make a lot of money!

   Generally speaking, those who buy servers are companies with money, but there are more companies without money. In the Internet world, 20% of companies buy their own servers, and 80% of companies find a dedicated hosting agency. Therefore, the hosting market is still huge! Only selling servers~www.NovelMTL.com~Noah's Ark may not make much money in the early stage. Although the custodial business is not much money, it is long-lasting and can make money continuously.

  In order to make Noah's Ark develop faster, Nicholas Group and Cisco conducted a second round of financing for it, and jointly invested 10 million U.S. dollars. Noah's Ark plans to build more than a dozen substations in the United States, and each substation establishes a custody database. Ten web servers are placed on each hosting library. For websites with poor traffic, one web server is enough to handle eight or nine. However, due to the transmission speed of the network, a hosting library is best to host less than 50 websites. If there are more, the server will be no problem, but the network is likely to be blocked. In the end, the website will be as delayed as dead!

   But considering that the National Science Foundation Network has begun to speed up, it will take less than a year or two for the network speed to increase dramatically! At that time, Noah's Ark will definitely usher in explosive development.

   Once Noah's Ark is developed, Henry feels that cloud storage, cloud computing, and big data can be the first to deploy. Engaging in custody now means owning other people's data. Although it is unethical to steal data, there is no ethics in business. This is also the helplessness of some small companies...

   In addition, since the web server has been developed, servers with other functions can also be developed. Large companies like IBM have developed supercomputers, let alone servers. In the previous life, IBM's server was very awesome! Noah's Ark took a time lag, used IBM to enter the server industry, and quickly grabbed the market, striving to become the best server company in the world!
