Chapter 370

On the second day of the competition, ICQ held a press conference to announce the reason why Siri was able to beat the dark blue supercomputer.

At the press conference, people were surprised to find that Henry Williams was also present.

At the moment, Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ company, said loudly on the stage: "as we all know, Siri is just an artificial intelligence program running on the apple laptop. The computing power of Apple laptop is far from that of dark blue, but why did Siri win? " After a pause, Tian Shuai's eyes swept around the stage and continued, "here, I will announce Siri's magic weapon to you!"

"In fact, in addition to the brilliant algorithm, Siri also uses another disruptive new Internet technology - cloud computing!"

All of a sudden, the audience whispered about what "cloud computing" is, as if they had never heard of it.

Tian Shuai waved to everyone to be quiet, and then said: "cloud computing is simply to let 'computing' be distributed on a large number of distributed computers, not local computers. The reason why it is called cloud computing is that distributed computers are distributed all over the world, and there are as many as clouds, so the name is simple and vivid. Now, we know that the dark blue supercomputer is just a computer, while Siri uses cloud computing, but it relies on a huge data center! "

Tian Shuai stopped for a moment and said proudly, "dark blue's computing power is 1 billion floating-point operations per second, but do you know what Siri's computing power is?"

Waiting for everyone to answer, Tian Shuai almost roared out: "it's a thousand times, a thousand times of dark blue computer!"

When people heard this, they were shocked. They were all dumbfounded and unbelievable!

Tian Shuai was very satisfied with the reaction and continued to say: "before, Mr. Henry Williams proposed to build data centers around the world, but it was questioned by the world. Now, it's absolutely right to build a data center! Our data center is different from the traditional data center, but cloud computing data center! We can let users access our cloud computing data center with ordinary apple computers or laptops, and then calculate according to their own needs. We can let them experience trillions of computing power per second that only supercomputers can have. We can even let them simulate a nuclear explosion on an ordinary computer

The more Tian Shuai said, the more excited people were.

They never thought that the data center Henry insisted on building was so powerful!

"Of course, cloud computing data center has more uses. Now let's welcome Mr. Henry Williams to the stage with the warmest applause!" After Tian Shuai finished, he took the lead in clapping.

Immediately, the applause is like a tide, a wave is higher than a wave!

Henry then chuckled and walked slowly onto the stage. His bright eyes glanced at the crowd and said with a faint smile: "what can a huge cloud computing data center do? Previously, if you want to run some enterprise applications on the office or company's website, you need to buy servers or other expensive hardware to control local applications and make your business run. But not now. Our cloud computing data center has enough idle resources for you to rent, including processor, storage, network and other basic computing resources. You can deploy and run any software, including operating system and application program at will! "

"In this way, will it reduce the development and operation costs of many companies?" Henry smiles. "I call this model LAAS, infrastructure as a service."

"In addition, relying on the powerful data center, we can provide developers with a standard environment for building applications, so that they don't need to think too much about the underlying hardware, save the cost of hardware, and make the cooperation between scattered studios easier! And this model is called PAAS, platform as a service. "

"If an application is developed successfully, it has to be used by consumers. Therefore, we can provide software to run in the cloud computing data center, consumers can access online through some clients on computers, laptops and other devices, so there is no need to download. This model is called SaaS, software as a service. Take a simple example, for example, the WPS office software of Jinshan software company, if you use SaaS service, you can make WPS online office software, and then click WPS plug-in through the browser to open the software! At the same time, the content written by users can also be synchronized to the cloud space. This cloud space, "Henry explained with a smile," is a space with a certain storage size. For example, Jinshan software can provide each WPS user with 2G private storage space, and they can log in to the WPS cloud space and find the files they once wrote. At the same time, users can upload or download files in the cloud space, and these files are not limited to WPS files, but also pictures, videos, etc... "

After Henry's words, everyone could not help but take a deep breath, and their faces turned red with excitement.

This is simply to create a, no... if the market segmentation, it should be three profit models, and each profit model will have enormous potential!

"Genius, what a genius!!! At the beginning, he was determined to build a data center. It was not aimless. He had already thought of the means of profit! " Everyone was shocked!

"To sum up, IAAs mainly provides virtual computing, storage, database and other infrastructure services, PAAS provides an environment for developers to build applications, and SaaS provides cloud based applications for users."

"However, you must not think that cloud computing data center only has these three functions, but it is not." Henry wrote lightly, "what's the most important thing about cloud computing data center? In my opinion, it's data. Big data management and analysis can help us solve many problems. For example, online shopping, every consumer's consumption habits will be saved in the data center, and then through data analysis, we can know what he likes and how the consumption level is, and then push him the commodity information in line with his consumption situation. In this way, we can greatly improve the success rate of commodity transaction! Another example is search, we can analyze the user's search habits, and then give him the most accurate search results, so as to achieve the best user experience! Another example is... "

They were just reporters, but it was not difficult to understand the great value behind every word Henry said.

"It's so awesome! How developed is Henry Williams' brain? I really want to knock his head open and have a look... "

Some reporters looked at Henry with a trace of enthusiasm and madness!

Soon after the press conference, there was no time left for reporters to ask questions. Henry and Tian Shuai left the press conference directly. Reporters are not angry, but with a chicken blood like, quickly pack up things, go back to catch up.

The next day, newspapers and television reported yesterday's ICQ press conference.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar!

It turns out that Henry Williams is playing such a big game!

Cloud computing, data center, LAAS, PAAS, SaaS, cloud space, big data and other terms are rapidly popular on the Internet. All the Internet or computer related companies are shocked beyond comparison. Henry Williams stood on the palace and looked down upon them as if he were an emperor!

What Henry said has almost become the "Bible" of the Internet, and countless people worship and study it.

Some people call him "the father of cloud computing", while others call him "the father of big data". The Internet companies he founded all seek hegemony; He led the Internet team, all the king.

In this era, his name has become a symbol of the Internet, he is the emperor of the Internet!!!

At this time, all the listed companies under Henry's name performed surprisingly in the stock market, the stock price rose wildly, and the trend didn't stop at all!

Shareholders are crazy, investors are crazy, Wall Street is also crazy, "Williams concept stock" unconsciously formed, this is even more fierce than the Internet concept stock, as long as it is a little touch edge, the stock price will rise. At this time, Facebook, youtube, linkedln and triadvisor are just about to go public. News began to spread that Henry Williams had invested in the four companies, holding 30% of Facebook, 25% of youtube, 22.5% of LinkedIn and 20% of triadvisor.

However, many people know that these four companies do not seem to be short of money, and they have not received any investment from any venture capital institutions. Perhaps, these rumors are pure rumors.

However, it is surprising that within two days, each of the four companies officially issued a statement: "yes, Henry Williams did invest in us, and the rumor is true!"

Originally, these four websites were the fastest-growing innovative Internet companies in recent years. Now, with the investment of Henry Williams, it shows that even Henry Williams is very optimistic about them!

Senior Wall Street analyst said: "it's hard to imagine what kind of sensation these four companies will cause when they go public, because they all have Henry Williams in their investors!"

On February 5, Facebook took the lead in going public. The IPO issued 100 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total share capital. Each share is $50, which means the pre IPO valuation has reached $25 billion.

The CEO of Facebook is a Chinese American named Rowan. He held the hammer excitedly, while Henry stood by with a smile. "Time is almost up, ready to ring the bell!"

"You'd better knock, Mr. Williams!" Rowan gave way.

"I don't know how many times I've rung this game, or you can experience the feeling of a NASDAQ bell!" Henry waved and laughed.

Rowan said excitedly, "thank you, Mr. Williams. I really didn't ring the bell on NASDAQ!"

NASDAQ trading began at 9 o'clock, Rowan has been looking at the clock on the LCD screen, at 9 o'clock, he was full of excitement, hard to ring the bell.

"Dong!"

All of a sudden, the audience burst into applause. Henry watched Facebook's stock market code appear on the LCD screen. He thought that Facebook was finally listed
