In order to promote web ark 1, noah ark company will hold a very grand product launch on December 1!

Noah Ark is not famous, but the two holding companies behind it are famous in Silicon Valley!!!

By Nicholas group and Cisco to Silicon Valley's major innovation and high-tech companies invited, this momentum, is not easy! Netscape browser, IMDB website, Nicholas website and Cisco official website are also promoting the upcoming product launch of Noah Ark!!!

"Noah's Ark is here. Have you bought tickets on your website?"

Almost every netizen on the Internet will see this sentence.

Although Noah Ark's product launch has not been held yet, it has aroused people's strong curiosity!

Many newspapers and media began to report this!

Bob Gallagher, CEO of the company, is full of confidence. He said that Noah Ark will soar this time!

It didn't take long until December 1, when Noah Ark's product launch came to many people, including IBM, apple and Microsoft, who sent their own company representatives!

On the exhibition stand, the lights are shining. The ground is covered with red carpet, and the background wall is a projection cloth. A web ark No. 1 was placed in the most central position, but now it was blocked by a red cloth.

It's almost time for the press conference. Bob Gallagher, dressed in a stiff suit, walked onto the stage confidently!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Noah Ark product launch Bob Gallagher said to hundreds of people, "although I'm handsome, there are still a lot of people who don't know me. Therefore, in order to let you know me, I will introduce myself first. Cough... My name is Bob Gallagher, unmarried... So, if a beautiful woman likes me, please contact me in private! Well, I just had a joke with you all

Bob Gallagher humorously went to the center of the booth, put his right hand on the red cloth, and said, "do you see this thing on the stage, aren't you very curious?"

Instead of revealing the red cloth immediately, Bob Gallagher said, "I believe you've seen 'Noah's Ark is here, have you bought tickets on your website yet'" this sentence! Yes, the product launch of Noah Ark is related to the website. As we all know, a website needs a computer with excellent performance. But the current super computer is too expensive, and the general computer is easy to cause the website to crash. So, we Noah Ark specially developed a product to solve this problem for the website company

"Now, it's time to lift the veil of mystery!" Bob Gallagher said, and immediately lifted the red cloth to reveal ark one.

First of all, people think that this thing is very similar to a computer, but it is bigger than an ordinary computer.

"This thing is called web server. It's a special kind of computer specially designed and served for the web. Compared with general-purpose computers, it's much better in processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, manageability, etc! With it, you don't have to worry about the site going to crash easily. It's just for the website

Later, Bob Gallagher explained and demonstrated.

Many people have built websites under the stage, and some of them have broken down. The emergence of web server is undoubtedly a blessing.

Generally speaking, what they need to build a website is a supercomputer, otherwise, as soon as the traffic is large, the website will be delayed. But supercomputers are so expensive that ordinary companies can't afford to use them! A supercomputer costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is cheap. If it's expensive, there are millions of dollars.

"Now some people may ask, how much is your web server? Ha ha, I can tell you that it's much cheaper than the supercomputer you use now! Well, I don't want you to worry. It's only $100000! You heard me right, it's only $100000!!! For 100000 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 set up a server hosting department to provide hosting services for major websites, that is, you can pay to rent our web server. And the escrow fee is not expensive, just $2500 a month! "

Finally, Bob yelled "Noah's Ark is here, please buy tickets quickly" to end the product launch.

After the press conference, three companies placed orders for a web ARK-1. Another five companies applied for custody services. In the next month, people called the company every day to ask about the situation. Although there were not many web servers sold, there were many websites applying for hosting, with a total of more than 20.

On November 31, 1987, the number of global websites exceeded 10000!

According to the statistics of the domain name management company, the number of domain names applied for today has exceeded 10000, and the number of websites should soon reach 10000! 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 rich companies, but those who don't have money are more. In the Internet world, 20% of companies buy their own servers, and 80% of companies find special hosting agencies. So, the trusteeship market is still huge! Only selling servers, Noah Ark may not make much money in the early stage. Although the trusteeship business does not have much money, it is important for it to last and make money continuously.

In order to accelerate the development of Noah Ark, Nicholas group and Cisco made a second round of financing and jointly invested $10 million. Noah Ark is going to build more than ten sub stations in the United States, each of which will build a trusteeship repository. There are ten web servers in each managed library. For websites with poor traffic, one web server can handle eight or nine. However, limited by the transmission speed of the network, a hosting library had better host less than 50 websites. If there are more, the server is OK, but the network is likely to be blocked, and finally the website will be delayed to death!

However, considering that the US science foundation network has started to speed up, in a year or two, the network speed will increase dramatically! At that time, Noah's Ark will surely usher in explosive development.

Once Noah's Ark is developed, Henry thinks that cloud storage, cloud computing and big data can take the lead in layout. Hosting now means having other people's data. Although it is immoral to steal information, there is no morality in business. This is also the frustration of some small companies

In addition, since the web server has been developed, other functions of the server can also be developed. Big companies like IBM can develop supercomputers, let alone servers. In the past, IBM's server was very powerful! Noah Ark beat a time difference, using IBM has not entered the server industry, quickly seize the market, and strive to build the world's best server company（ Vote...)
