2009年,最吸引IT业者的名词无疑是云计算,云计算也被预测为将影响今后10年信息技术方向的技术。作为新的运算模式,它的出现过程、技术特点都被很多人研究并进一步挖掘,同时他与生俱来的一些技术难点也使硬件、软件厂商表现出极大的兴趣。服务器无疑是支撑云计算模式的核心设备,如何针对云计算提供有效的平台设备,保证云计算方案效能的最大发挥,也成为了浪潮的服务器开发团队现阶段的使命。本刊将以连载的方式,深入剖析云计算出现的实践基础,已经出现的产品类型,他们典型的特点;云计算必须面对和解决的课题;针对云计算,服务器和数据中心设计必须做的突破和调整,等等,希望给读者以参考和帮助。 In 2009, the term most appealing to the IT industry was undoubtedly cloud computing, and cloud computing was also predicted as a technology that would impact the direction of information technology for the next 10 years. As a new computing model, its emergence process, technical characteristics are a lot of people to study and further digging, and his innate technical difficulties also make hardware and software vendors showed great interest. Server is undoubtedly the core equipment supporting the cloud computing model. How to provide effective platform equipment for cloud computing and guarantee the maximum performance of cloud computing solutions has also become the mission of Inspur’s server development team at this stage. In a serial manner, this publication will provide an in-depth analysis of the practical basis for cloud computing, the types of products that have emerged, and their typical characteristics; the issues that cloud computing must face and solve; and the need for cloud computing, server and data center design Breakthrough and adjustment, and so on, I hope to readers for reference and help.
