In the beginning, the provision of AI services based on cloud computing was only a direction and trend, and the delivery capacity was dominated by basic algorithms. Subsequently, cloud computing began to provide systematic AI training, development, deployment and application services. The close relationship between cloud and AI is closer, which can meet the complex and intelligent needs of enterprises.

So, what is the next step for cloud and AI?

According to industry expectations and technological development trends, the next step of “cloud + AI” should move towards tight infrastructure coupling. Both development and application requirements can be fully met, and various intelligent requirements can be fully released in the cloud computing system. New form. At this stage, AI is no longer an “embedded object of cloud computing, but is presented to users and developers with AI-native cloud, and the industrial characteristics of cloud and intelligence are highly integrated.

In the traditional Chinese painting Danqing, what we can see is not a mountain, a stone, a grass and a tree, but a vast array of mountains and rivers. The cloud computing system that truly meets the needs of industry intelligence and meets the needs of industrial-grade AI should also be a long scroll composed of many leading technologies, core capabilities and service systems. In Baidu Smart Cloud’s view, this long scroll should be called “AI Native Cloud”.

In October last year, Baidu Smart Cloud put forward the industry judgment and industry vision of “AI Native Cloud” for the first time. After experiencing fast-paced development, at the Intelligent Computing Summit of Baidu Cloud Intelligence Summit on June 3, we can see that the components of AI native cloud have been very rich, and the core products have been full and perfect. Not only did the two new brands of Baidu Canghai Storage Technology and Baidu Baige AI Heterogeneous Computing Platform debut for the first time, Baidu Smart Cloud also released and upgraded a series of products, and finally formed a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains entitled “AI Native Cloud”.

(June 3, 2021 Baidu Intelligent Computing Summit, Baidu Intelligent Cloud deploys a series of AI native cloud products)

Asked the group pen: the era picture of AI native cloud

We discussed a long time ago that the convergence of cloud computing and AI is inevitable in terms of industrial location. Because the elastic feature of cloud computing is the best way to deliver intelligence, and perhaps intelligence through cloud computing is also the lowest threshold and most efficient access method for enterprises.

Today, AI has become the industrial focus of every cloud computing vendor. After the establishment of the “cloud + AI” direction, the next question is how to make enterprise users and developers more simple, efficient, and low-cost access to AI and load industrial-grade applications. If the cloud computing manufacturer is a painter, and AI is the object they are describing together, then the first step is to determine how to draw the most exciting AI. This is the quest of the “cloud painter”.

Overall, AI poses three major challenges to the cloud computing system:

The first is that the training, deployment and application of AI have brought high-intensity and complex heterogeneous computing requirements, which have greatly changed the traditional cloud computing power provision rules and server characteristics.

Secondly, AI has to be deployed in enterprises and needs to be deployed in multiple scenarios such as cloud, edge, and end. This has created a dazzling demand for distributed computing, which in turn has led to an extreme increase in the types of platforms and services that cloud vendors need to provide.

Another point is that companies’ expectations for AI cost reduction and difficulty reduction are always the same. How to meet the diversified development and application needs of enterprises, reduce the cost of computing power and reduce the difficulty of algorithms, is also the direction of cloud vendors.

Combining these three AI methods, “Cloud Painter” needs to reorganize the brushwork, compile an industrial blueprint, and draw technological differentiation. Baidu Smart Cloud is a highly heterogeneous, multi-terminal deployment, and easy-to-use “cloud-intelligence” cloud computing architecture, which is defined as “AI native cloud”.

Hou Zhenyu, Vice President of Baidu Group, believes that: “AI native cloud is the core driving force to promote the intelligent upgrade of enterprises. AI native cloud provides flexible and high-performance heterogeneous computing power for AI scenarios at the computing power level. At the application development level, it provides A series of low-threshold development platforms for AI application scenarios help companies make AI application architecture more concise and more agile.”

Danqing ink and wash emphasizes that mountains are bones and water is soul. Baidu Smart Cloud believes that the foundation of AI native cloud is the diversified integration of computing power and application development platforms. The integration of computing power, data, development, and application platforms can draw the ink-splashing scroll of the intelligent era.

Aiming at the three core capabilities that AI native cloud must have, namely AI heterogeneous computing platform, distributed cloud infrastructure, and AI application development platform, Baidu Cloud Intelligence Summit Intelligent Computing Summit released and upgraded eight new products at one time, including Baidu Taihang Elastic Bare Metal Server 3.0, Baidu Canghai Parallel File Storage PFS, the fifth-generation cloud server instance, intelligent sense ultra-clear all-in-one machine, etc.

These fully upgraded AI infrastructures, like brushstrokes, form a landscape of computing and intelligence.

Majestic building Taihang, cloud sailing to the sea

In the picture of AI native cloud, the first thing we need is computing power and storage as the foundation.

Adapting to the needs of AI, abundant low-cost computing power, and data storage capabilities closely related to computing are the foundation of AI development. Just like the mountain in ink painting, it forms the skeleton and outline of the whole painting, and determines the trend of Danqing.

In the AI ​​native cloud provided by Baidu Smart Cloud, computing power is also closely connected with the “mountain”. Baidu Smart Cloud released a new generation of cloud infrastructure “Taihang”, based on Baidu’s self-developed hardware virtualization technology, reconstructs Baidu Smart Cloud’s computing power infrastructure, and has the resource flexibility of cloud servers and the high-performance experience of physical machines. To meet the demand for massive computing power in the AI ​​native era.

In response to more specific demands for AI computing power, Baidu Smart Cloud released Baidu Taihang Flexible Bare Metal Server 3.0. Taihang has fully upgraded the full features of flexible bare metal to support network offloading and hot swap of PCIe devices, so that bare metal can be quickly booted from cloud disks like virtual machines. Based on the new generation of self-developed smart network cards, Taihang can also realize the unification of the computing power of bare metal, virtual machines, and containers on the network and storage, fully matching the computing requirements of AI tasks.

If computing power is a mountain, then the storage, calling, and enabling of data is the water that allows the mountains to flow, and computing power generates value. In order to meet the increasing demands of users for high-performance computing when applying AI, Baidu Smart Cloud released the storage brand Canghai.

We know that data is Baidu’s core advantage, and the storage, calculation, and use of data are necessarily technical capabilities that Baidu must continue to strengthen. In the storage field, Canghai originated from Baidu’s business and customer service practices for more than 20 years. It has the technical advantages of integration of storage and computing, integration of software and hardware, and integration of cloud and edge; it has the ultimate speed, ultimate flexibility, ultimate price-performance ratio, ultimate reliability, and ultimate simplicity. Technical characteristics.

Facing the intelligent era, high performance and massive storage have become the key support for enterprises to go to the cloud and deploy AI. And Canghai can solve the core storage problem from several aspects. The first is to upload data to the cloud, which provides offline and online data to the cloud; the second is to solve the problem of data storage, and proposes the ability to use object storage as the core to make high-speed optimization for AI scenarios; the third is for AI scenarios, AI-oriented The ability to train and process analysis.

Taking the distributed storage scenario as an example, the newly released Canghai Parallel File Storage PFS can support object storage data connection, realizing the real connection of hot and cold data, and reducing the overall data cost by more than 60%. And Canghai also covers the performance requirements of HPC scenarios, with the key features of ultra-high performance and ultra-low latency.

Let the ocean of data and the Taihang of computing surround each other, forming an unbreakable computing power and data base with a long history.

Computing power and storage are the engines of AI native cloud, and development is the operating system of AI native cloud. Allowing users and developers to complete AI development and applications with low cost, high efficiency and low difficulty is an eternal proposition since the rise of AI, and it is also the key to Baidu’s ability to build a moat in the AI ​​field.

With computing power and storage as the mountain and ocean foundation of AI’s native cloud, the development platform becomes the smart “boat” in this picture. Based on the development system, it can match the individual needs of developers in various industries, or face industrial-level challenges, or complete unexpected subtle creations; it must not only dance with experts and scholars in the laboratory, but also help developers who have no code experience.者工作。 The work.

In the cloud computing scenario, heterogeneous computing is the biggest challenge for a large number of enterprises to apply AI. In order to further help users lower the threshold of AI development and complete the industrial-grade AI landing, Baidu Smart Cloud has launched a new AI heterogeneous computing platform Baige, in order to “compete with each other and strive for the first.” Baidu Baige is composed of three parts: AI computing, AI storage, and AI container. It can complete different computing freedoms, storage resources, and container applications with flexible and efficient interconnection for different AI application scenarios, helping users effectively utilize AI infrastructure.

At the AI ​​computing level, we have to mention Baidu Kunlun, a cloud AI chip independently developed by Baidu, and Baidu’s super AI computing platform X-MAN, which is optimized for AI deep learning scenarios.

As the core basic computing unit, the chip occupies the commanding heights of the AI ​​era. Baidu’s demand for AI chips is very clear. As early as 2010, Baidu had used FPGAs for the research and development of AI architecture, and then continued to promote the business through cooperation, investment and self-research. In 2018, Baidu released the cloud AI chip “Kunlun” independently developed by Baidu.

In 2020, Kunlun 1 will achieve mass production, with key features such as high performance, low cost, high flexibility, and autonomous controllability, and it will be widely deployed in scenarios such as Baidu search engine and Baidu intelligent cloud ecosystem partners. The Kunlun chip can do both training and inference. It can meet the high processing needs of AI and is used in cloud instances and edge instances, including data centers, public clouds, and autonomous vehicles.

By making full use of the extreme push computing power and power efficiency of the Kunlun chip, Baige AI heterogeneous computing platform can effectively support a variety of functions, including large-scale artificial intelligence workloads, such as search ranking, voice recognition, image processing, and natural language Processing, automatic driving. Another key advantage of Kunlun lies in its perfect adaptation to many AI software and hardware systems, which can help users and developers effectively utilize AI computing power and maximize Baidu’s AI infrastructure. The Baidu Kunlun cloud server based on Kunlun chips can provide enterprises and developers with super AI reasoning and training performance, and accelerate the pace of deep integration of AI technology with all walks of life.

At present, Baidu’s super computing platform X-MAN has been upgraded to the fourth generation. It is the industry’s first super AI computing platform that supports OAI standards and liquid cooling. It can solve the three major issues of CPU+GPU ratio computing, communication bandwidth bottlenecks, and high-performance storage. problem. Baidu’s X-MAN super AI computing platform provides extreme computing performance, supports large and complex algorithm models, and can process massive amounts of data quickly and in time. Since its birth, Baidu’s X-MAN super AI computing platform has undergone three generations of development, three architecture upgrades, and has created six industry firsts. At the same time, it has maintained its leading technology and performance, leading the industry development trend. At present, the X-MAN series of products have been applied on a large scale in Baidu, which is helping Baidu’s AI strategy to be implemented quickly.

If you want to be a better player in the competition, you must naturally have a pair of powerful oars. Baidu Flying Paddle is China’s first industry-level deep learning platform with open source, leading technology, and complete functions. The Song Dynasty literati Zhu Xi’s “Flying paddles, go to Guangjin”. At present, flying paddles have been implemented in a large number of industries and are known as the operating system of the intelligent age. Not long ago, Feida just ushered in a full platform upgrade and new release. The new release includes Feida core framework V2.1, large-scale map retrieval engine, Wenxin ERNIE four pre-training models, reasoning deployment navigation map, hardware ecological progress , Open the cloud-native machine learning core PaddleFlow, and fully launch the flying paddle “Grand Navigation” plan, with a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan, focusing on ecological development.

From flying paddle to Baige, the development platform and application platform under Baidu’s AI system are being fully improved step by step to meet the AI ​​landing in different scenarios from basic development, simple development, and industrial applications. Many scientists have imagined that the application of AI in the future should be a natural matter, without learning thresholds.

The AI ​​native cloud is making the vision of artificial intelligence application development gradually fall into reality. What’s more worth mentioning is that Baidu Baige, Baidu Kunlun, and Baidu Feida have allowed China to have independent intellectual property rights in the core underlying technology of AI, forming a veritable Chinese AI picture scroll.

Concluding remarks: AI Danqing paints everything

The release and upgrade of the eight major AI native cloud products in one breath shows the determination and determination of Baidu Smart Cloud on the new track of AI native cloud. The root of this strategic determination is that the integration relationship between AI and cloud is a logical and demanding thing.

Countless industries and countless scenarios are using the cloud as a channel and AI as a springboard to upgrade their productivity and make the impossible possible. Their stories and achievements fell into reality bit by bit, and finally painted into a picture of the intelligent age.

For the purpose of AI, the goal of drawing all things, all sectors of the industry still need to run with all their strength, use computing to leverage productivity, and use intelligence to open up industry possibilities.

When the time comes to 2021, Baidu Smart Cloud describes a cloud image that belongs to AI has begun to take shape. However, the next “AI native cloud” brushes will be handed over to users from thousands of industries and developers with unlimited imagination.

In this smart picture scroll, everyone should be a painter.

Behind the names of Taihang, Kunlun, Canghai, Baige, and Feida, we can faintly read a kind of lofty ambition. Baidu Smart Cloud’s ambitious ambition is to enable every company to use the cloud as a pen, wisely make ink, and draw a legend of its own.

On June 15th, a media salon with the theme of “Decoding JD 618: JD Cloud Releases Top Ten Technology Application Trends” was held in JD. This is also the first time that JD Group has integrated cloud, retail, and logistics multi-party 618 technical teams to jointly decode JD 618. Technical connotation.

Dr. Mei Tao, Vice President of JD Group and IEEE & IAPR Fellow, released the top ten technology application trends of JD Cloud 618 on the spot, including: better understanding of users’ C2M reverse customization and intelligent customer service; better understanding of product multi-modal content generation and blocks Chain anti-counterfeiting traceability; intelligent supply chain decision-making that understands more scenarios, integrated supply chain and virtual digital humans, and stronger infrastructure guarantees, namely, a privacy computing platform that supports ultra-large-scale data fusion, a cloud-native hybrid digital infrastructure and liquid Cold data center, etc.

Among the ten major technology application trends, the most worth mentioning is that JD’s intelligent supply chain decision-making has created a world-class “Inventory Turnover Days Down to 31.2 Days” through intelligent operation, warehouse network optimization, omni-channel performance, and C2M reverse customization. Record.

According to Liu Xiaoen, vice president of JD.com and head of JD’s retail intelligent supply chain Y business department, behind JD’s 31.2-day turnaround is faced with great challenges, which are mainly derived from four aspects: massive amounts of goods, complex warehousing and distribution Online, online and offline multi-scenario retail model, and matching with the supply and demand of a large number of upstream suppliers. Costco, a global retail giant known for its operational efficiency, has its latest inventory turnover days of 30.9 days, but it manages only a few thousand SKUs, while JD.com has millions of SKUs and more than 1000 warehouses, with a turnover of 31.2 days in all categories. Under the self-operated mode, it is already at the world’s leading level.

In addition, the integrated supply chain will also play a role in this JD 618, helping over 200 cities across the country to achieve “minute-level distribution.”

Wei Haixing, a senior expert in the JD Logistics Strategy and Innovation Business Department, said, “JD Logistics has built an integrated supply chain through automation, digital, and intelligent means to become the “stabilizer” for the efficient and stable operation of JD 618 this year. On the one hand, it is fully committed to guaranteeing the whole country. Home delivery, over 200 cities within minutes, on the other hand, customer demand-oriented, give full play to the technology-driven integrated supply chain potential, and provide support for the majority of merchants to fully respond to JD 618. We follow demand scenarios, product characteristics, The expected value and other dimensions of the supply chain are subdivided, the balance between warehouses is optimized, the second and third transfers are reduced, and the circulation is more direct and efficient. At the same time, as the largest intelligent warehouse group in the Asian e-commerce logistics field, it has 32 Asian No. With an innovative record, the new generation of smart express vehicles has achieved large-scale operations in multiple cities, becoming a strong guarantee for consumers to enjoy “minute-level delivery”.”

Behind all these technological developments is the support of JD Cloud. It is understood that 100% of JD 618 shopping festival orders have been completed on the cloud, and JD Logistics and JD Finance have all been completed on the cloud.

Data shows that in the early morning of the day when Jingdong 618 opened, the peak QPS of Jingdong Cloud’s visits increased by 223% compared with the same period last year, the bandwidth of visits increased by 140%, and the total real-time data analysis reached 3 trillion.

Cao Peng, Vice President of JD Group and Head of JD Cloud Product R&D of JD.com, mentioned that in 618, in 2021, the hybrid cloud operating system JDOS (JDOS) unified computing resource base will achieve 10 million nuclear calculations. Flexible scheduling and management of resources. Based on high-performance SDN control, TB-level dedicated line access, intelligent traffic scheduling, high-concurrency database access and other rich resources, JD Cloud can more calmly deal with the 618 high-concurrency and high-traffic scenarios, and through the three-dimensional unified security operation center and integration Integrated DDoS protection system.

In addition, JD Cloud is also actively implementing the dual-carbon goal. While driving the growth of thousands of new categories by more than 100%, it has achieved a 30% reduction in resource costs per order and a 5% reduction in carbon emissions year-on-year.

The following is a detailed explanation of the top ten technology application trends of JD Cloud:

“Sleep for three thousand years, wake up the world”, on March 20 this year, the “Archaeological China” major project work progress will be notified that 6 new “sacrifice pits” have been discovered in the archaeological site of Sanxingdui. Fragments of golden masks, giant bronze masks, etc. have been unearthed. There are more than 500 important cultural relics such as bronze sacred trees and ivory. Among the cultural relics unearthed in the Sanxingdui area in the past, there are quite a few vivid and interesting animal-shaped cultural relics. Tao Zhu became popular on the Internet for his “face-hit” angry birds, and his vivid celestial chickens and sacred birds have attracted many archaeological enthusiasts.

What is not known to the public is that in addition to the colorful cultural relics displayed in the museum, there are still a large number of cultural relics under restoration in Sanxingdui. “The restoration of cultural relics is slow and meticulous. The restoration of a bronze mask takes at least 8 months and has gone through 7 procedures, including electron microscopy analysis, X-ray diagnosis, etc., which cannot tolerate half a difference.” said Zhu Yarong, deputy curator of the Sanxingdui Museum. It is hoped that through this live broadcast, more young people can learn about the culture of Sanxingdui and stimulate their love and awareness of cultural relics.

It is reported that the live broadcast will continue from 5 pm to 10 pm. In addition to exploring and repairing cultural relics, Sanxingdui star commentators will take Tmall consumers to visit the museum, show in detail Sanxingdui’s “magic animals”, including pottery pigs, sky chickens, tigers, etc., and interpret the backs of bronze sacred trees and bronze standing people Secret. After 8 p.m., the virtual anchor Bronze Darling will be airborne in the live broadcast room, and together with the previous directors and assistants of “National Treasure”, they will reproduce the classic clips of National Treasure, and call for the cultural and creative products of Sanxingdui. In addition to the Taobao live broadcast room of the official flagship store of Sanxingdui Museum, this secret exploration activity will also be simultaneously broadcast live through channels such as the Red Star News client and video account.

Major archaeological discoveries in Sanxingdui have amazed the world and also drove the popularity of archaeology and related cultural and creative products. On the day of World Museum Day on May 18 this year, the official of Sanxingdui Museum announced that it will be stationed on Tmall, with more than 40 new cultural and creative products, including the super new product-an archaeological blind box with real soil. The “miniature” figures in the box are based on the “new” Internet celebrity cultural relics and classic cultural relics of Sanxingdui in March this year, including pottery pigs, sky chickens, bronze sacred trees, bronze Zongmu, etc. The shape of the blind box mound is borrowed from the landform of the Sanxingdui site, and the soil color is also close to that of the archaeological pit. After the archaeological blind box was updated, it quickly appeared on the hot search. In the live broadcast tonight, Minister Ren Ren of the Industrial Development Department of the Sanxingdui Museum Scenic Area Management Committee will also share the development strategy and direction of Sanxingdui Cultural and Creative, with a view to launching more cultural products loved by young people.

Tmall data shows that young people love museums more and more. The proportion of post-95 consumers of cultural and creative products has increased year by year, and it is now nearly 40%. Nearly 100 museums and art galleries will participate in the last wave of Tmall 618. In addition to domestic “big coffee” such as the Palace Museum, National Museum of China, Dunhuang Museum, Suzhou Museum, Potala Palace, Sanxingdui, etc., there are also overseas venues such as the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Illustration After a period of continuous sunshine that seemed to drain all the water sources in all lakes and ponds in the City, one afternoon, the weather was suddenly sweltering and strangely quiet. And shortly after, the dark clouds came from nowhere. Lightning flashed through the sky, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap of thunder. When I was a child, whenever it was thundering, I was often afraid to tremble and frantically look for my mother to hide. Only a hug and a gentle word: “I’m here, don’t be afraid” brought peace of mind to the child that day. The wind started to rise. The trees on the side of the road twisted and twisted in the stormy rain. Once, I walked on Tran Phu Street in a thunderstorm and was in the “rain of leaves”. The poor crocodile leaves were blown off the branches by the wind and thrown onto the pavement. Here and there, trees with broken branches and stumps fell on the road. The signs in front of the store also vibrated. Everyone rushed to find shelter from the rain. Then the rain came. The first raindrops were big and fluffy, falling on the hot pavement and being absorbed quickly. The rain poured down, the raindrops swirled and the fury of the wind poured down on all things. Hanoi street blurred in the rain. Just a moment, the white foaming rainwater flowing on the road swept away all the heat and sadness. The cool air calms down. Each age, we see the rain in a different way. I still remember the few times I hid from my mother to take a shower when I was a child. We kept running from the beginning of the street to the end of the street, even though the raindrops hit our bodies and our eyes sting. The raindrops falling into the mouth are so cool. We also invited each other to pick up fallen crocodiles, phoenix flowers, broken branches… Until now, I still remember the innocent laughter of naughty children. Then the children grew older day by day. The girls already know the meaning of avoiding the rain. There are summer afternoons, the whole group of friends sit folding paper boats, floating on the street in the rain. The colorful paper boats gradually drifted away on the rainy street carrying student poems with tender nostalgia. Thunderstorms come and go very quickly. The wind calmed down and the sky calmed down. After the rain, everything seems to be clearer. Sometimes, after a thunderstorm, if we go to West Lake or go to the outskirts of Hanoi, we will witness a brilliant rainbow after the rain. The color of the rainbow glittering after the rain seems to light up the hope and optimism in us. There are times in human life when we have to face storms. Perhaps the most frightening is the silence before the storm hits. That is when our hearts are filled with fear and confusion before the event. But, when we are strong enough to go through the storm, one day we look back, we will silently thank the past days that made us stronger and more courageous.

Nguyen Thi Tham harvests vegetables to prepare for dinner. Tham’s house is at 17F7, Tran Binh Trong Street, Nguyen An Ninh Ward, City. Vung Tau, has 3 floors with an area of ​​more than 100m2. Tham has spent more than 30m2 of the terrace to design a garden with a variety of vegetables and fruits for daily meals. Taking us to visit the garden, Ms. Tham was ready to bring knives, scissors and a basket to store vegetables harvested for dinner. Appearing in front of my eyes is a beautiful and neat garden designed scientifically by Tham and her husband, both to ensure waterproofing for the terrace and for luxuriant fruit trees. Tham’s garden has everything from spinach, collard greens, collard greens, amaranth, water spinach, chives, basil… to hard-to-grow things like mosquito nets, abalone mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, chicken thighs. . In front is a truss of gourd, squash is also fruiting. In addition to vegetables, the garden is also full of flowers with 20 pots of roses, 20 pots of tropical hydrangeas, dozens of orchids, fortune-telling plants, box orchids, jasmine… In a flash, Tham has a basket of vegetables. , fruits of all kinds for dinner. Ms. Nguyen Thi Tham with a very fruity gourd is grown on her terrace garden. In order to have vegetables to eat regularly, she grows by the method of pillowing, which means that when this litter is about to die, another batch is about to be harvested. The same goes for melons, gourds, and squash, when these fruit trees begin to grow old, other fruit trees have climbed up the trellis. Ms. Tham added that, in the face of rampant dirty food on the market, which easily affects health, because she wanted to have clean vegetables for her family, in 2017 when she built this house, she also designed a garden on the yard. upper. Just like that, after finishing her job at the Ministry of Construction’s Nursing Center, she went home to take care of her garden. “There are 3 people in the family, so many times vegetables and fruits can’t be eaten, I pick them down for friends and relatives. In addition, I do more cooking at home, so I also put these clean products into serving customers,” said Tham. Mrs. Ngo Xuan Tho shows off the apple tree planted on the terrace, but it is very wrong Looking at the garden on the terrace with dangling pumpkins, bunches of apples laden with fruit, guava trees are so wrong… few would expect it to be the hand of a 74-year-old woman who still climbs 3 floors every day. Tiny, vertical stairs to the garden. The house is more than 50m2, but both generations live together, so they have to pour 3 panels and make the stairs very small to save space. Climbing to the terrace of the house I wanted to breathe, but Mrs. Ngo Xuan Tho (636/12/9 Truong Cong Dinh, Nguyen An Ninh ward, Vung Tau city) – the owner of that garden was still more agile. Ten times up and down to take care of plants, change the soil, and harvest vegetables without getting tired. Ms. Tho confided that this garden helps her to relax with old age in the city. The garden is not large, only a few tens of square meters, but she feels better thanks to it. “Every time I go to the garden to look at the vine that has grown, hug the trellis and then flower, bud, and bear fruit, I am as happy as meeting you,” said Mrs. Just like that, that small garden has been with her for nearly 20 years, every season. Ms. Tho said that at this time, the weather was rainy, so it was a bit difficult to grow vegetables, although she still had amaranth, water spinach, and cucurbits to eat all day… but the mainstay of the garden in this rainy season is fruit trees. She cherished each apple in the garden, each new ruby ​​guava with her fist, and then rejoiced when harvesting the first American figs, each strawberry brought back from Da Lat. From September onwards until Tet, when it is cold, Ms. Tho can grow kohlrabi, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower… And gourds, squash, melons, eggplants, leafy vegetables are often enough for the whole family. 5-6 people eat. “Actually, I spent tens of millions of dong to buy planter boxes, invest in an automatic irrigation system in the garden, not to mention the cost of seedlings and fertilizers… Considering the economic value, it is not necessarily cheaper. I buy vegetables from the market, but the important thing is that the garden makes me happy, my family has safe vegetables for daily meals, “said Ms. Tho. Lots of families in the city. Vung Tau also chooses to grow vegetables on the terrace to have clean vegetables for family meals. Ms. Le Thi Hai Yen (150/18 Le Loi, Thang Nhi Ward, Vung Tau City) often calls her vegetable growing place “a garden in the clouds”. Yen’s garden is small, just over 10m2, but thanks to clever placement, she can grow everything from green beans, peas, okra, bitter melon to morning glory, amaranth, and spinach. She loves flowers, so her garden also dedicates a small space to plant roses and butterfly flower pots. Rooftop gardening is gradually becoming popular in urban areas. The rooftop garden has contributed a lot to the family’s daily food, reducing a part of monthly shopping costs. For many people, gardening on the terrace is also a hobby to help them reduce stress and fatigue with daily life.

Illustration. The cybersecurity situation has undergone drastic changes in recent times, especially in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic and the trend of remote working. This manifests itself in large-scale and increasingly complex attacks. Hackers perform an average of 50 million password attacks per day, 579 attacks per second. AGAINST MALWARE AND RAMSOMWARE WITH DEVELOPMENT Microsoft’s telemetry results released over the weekend showed that the prevalence of malware and ransomware infections in Asia-Pacific has been increasing over the past 18 months, stretching back to before the Covid-19 pandemic. -19 outbreak to date. Specifically, in Australia it is 23%; China is 80%; India 15%; Japan 16%; New Zealand 19%, Singapore 43%, Hong Kong 38%, South Korea 22%, Malaysia 2%, Philippines 15%, Taiwan 16%, Thailand 3% and Vietnam 7%. Among them, Indonesia alone has a 24% decrease in malware infection rate. The number of cyber attacks and the number of Vietnamese IP addresses in botnets increased in March 2021 due to hackers taking advantage of the increasing demand for Internet use by users as well as people’s interest in translation information. Covid-19. During the same period, the number of ransomware infections (a subset of malware) also increased by 453% in Australia; China (463%); India (100%); Japan (541%); New Zealand (825%); Singapore (296%), Hong Kong (179%), Indonesia (31%), South Korea (64%), Malaysia (72%), Philippines (70%), Taiwan (407%), Thailand (6%) ). This figure in Vietnam is recorded at 15%. In Vietnam, in March 2021 alone, the Information Security Administration recorded 491 incidents of cyber attacks on information systems, an increase of 8.15% compared to February 2021. In which, the number of Malware attacks is 180, while Phishing and Deface attacks are 164 and 147, respectively. In the first quarter of 2021, although compared to the same period in 2020, the number of cyberattacks causing problems on information systems decreased by 20%, but from the beginning of 2021 to now, the number of cyberattack incidents has decreased by 20%. is still in an uptrend. Experts believe that the reason for the increase in the number of cyberattacks and the number of Vietnamese IP addresses in botnets in March 2021 was because hackers took advantage of users’ increasing demand for Internet use as well as the interest People’s attention to information about Covid-19 epidemic. Therefore, the number of Phishing and Malware attacks on systems has increased to cheat, destroy and steal information illegally… It can be seen that, in the context of complicated epidemic developments, when more and more organizations, businesses and individual users work remotely, work from home, they are creating an environment for bad guys to exploit vulnerabilities, Attacks, information theft, large-scale cyberattacks take place in Vietnam and around the world. ABOUT 3.5 MILLION SECURITY PROFESSIONALS IN 2021 Experts say that even as more people begin returning to the office, hybrid work is forecast to remain the norm in the future. According to Forrester, as people gradually settle into a new working model after the pandemic, we will still see an increase in the proportion of employees working remotely compared to before the pandemic, at 300%. And the current Job Trends Index report shows that 53% of respondents in Asia plan to move to a new place because they can work remotely, compared to 46 percent globally. %. That change has been demanding an urgent need for new security solutions to meet the way of working, especially when the network of organizations is no longer limited to the “office wall”. This requires a very different mindset from the traditional “network is the border” and “device protection” approaches. Organizations and businesses need to take data and authentication as the center. While there are many other ways to secure these days, addressing identity, authentication, and information management issues is still critical. Experts have pointed out 4 main pillars to protect users against new work era cyber threats, including: identity protection, Zero Trust mindset, cloud application, and resource investment. security personnel. The network of organizations is no longer limited to the “office wall”. This requires a very different mindset from the traditional “network is the border” and “device protection” approaches. As recent attacks have shown, identity will be the “battlefield” for future attacks. Microsoft Vice President of Security, Compliance, and Identity Vasu Jakkal said that, in a world where identity is the new battleground, adopting a Zero Trust strategy has become a must for businesses. Karma. The hybrid workplace is virtually borderless, so it’s important to establish protective “barriers” around identities and devices. As part of his journey to building a Zero Trust mindset, the expert emphasized that “passwordless authentication will be the trend of the future and that transformation will be seen this year”. Besides the application of technology, experts also emphasize the special importance of people and skills in ensuring information security of each business organization. However, the lack of security professionals and the lack of diversity in security teams are two weaknesses that attackers will find to hit next year, the expert said. It is estimated that the information security industry will be short of about 3.5 million security professionals this year.

As noted by Fox News, NASA’s rocket launch window opened at 20:04 and the rocket launched at 20:36 on the same day. About 10 minutes after launch, the Black Brant XII rocket ejected barium vapor at an altitude of about 350-400km above the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Bermuda and about 870-900km from Wallops. The barium vapor from the NASA rocket is not harmful to the environment and has formed two blue-violet clouds that can be seen across the East Coast for about 30 seconds. However, clouds prevented the launch from being viewed with the naked eye. “This is the last date NASA intends to authorize a rocket launch from Wallops. The vocal rocket was originally scheduled to launch on May 8 but has been postponed several times a week,” Fox News wrote and reported. For further information, the Black Brant XII rocket launched during NASA’s KiNet-X mission – designed to study how energy and momentum is transported between different regions of space with a magnetic connection. The Black Brant XII missile is a 4-stage rocket. Peter Delamere, KiNET-X principal investigator from the University of Alaska Fairbanks said: “The aurorae – also known as the north pole or pole light, is formed when particles in the ‘near universe’ of the Earth’s ‘near space’. Earth interacts with the atmosphere Electrons in Earth’s space environment and in the solar wind are relatively low in energy, however, the aurora is produced by very high energy electrons. Vapors emitted from the rocket’s payload will generate magnetic interference and potentially energized electrons.KiNET-X consists of a single rocket launch carrying seven separable payloads – equipment primary diagnostic device, along with four small sideloads and clouds of barium vapor set to release from two additional, larger payloads”. Beautiful performance Analyzing further, meteorologist Katie McGraw told News 5 that when the launch happened, people in Northeast Ohio could see it thanks to clear skies. NASA called the May 16 launch of the Black Brant XII rocket a “beautiful display” and couldn’t have written a better story. Katie McGraw further revealed that the Black Brant XII rocket was used for the mission to explore energy transport in space. Black Brant is the result of research at the Canadian Arms Research and Development Facility (CARDE) in the 1950s into the nature of the upper atmosphere as part of ongoing research into anti-missile systems. ballistic fire and long-range communications. The launch took place on May 16 after a week of waiting. In 1957, CARDE contracted with Bristol to produce a simple rocket fuselage, called the Propulsion Test Vehicle, for high-powered solid fuel studies. Albert Fia’s design is quite heavy, as it is designed to accommodate a wide range of engine burn times, propellant loads and launch angles well suited to its role as a test vehicle for development. ABM system. The first test flight took place just two years later. CARDE’s attention then turned to long-distance communications, and they found the propulsion test vehicle system useful as a locating missile. To better suit this role, Bristol modified the design to be lighter and more suitable for the Black Brant missile role. CARDE has launched several Black Brant rockets over the years with the original Black Brant I design able to carry a payload of 68 kg to an altitude of 150 km and fly for the first time in October 1960. The missile’s design emphasizes payload reliability and range. There are 12 versions of the Black Brant and the Black Brant XII is a four-stage sonic launcher manufactured in 1995. The missile was first launched from the Andoya rocket range off the northwest coast of Norway and caused an explosion also known as the fear of Black Brant. This incident has put Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert, fearing a high-altitude nuclear strike could blind Russia’s radar, and Russia’s Cheget “nuclear briefcase” has been put on high alert. sent to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, who must then decide whether to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States. This is the first and only known incident to date where any nuclear-weapon country has activated its nuclear briefcase and prepared for an attack. On September 19, 2009, a Black Brant XII rocket launched to study the clouds caused calls from eastern North America reporting “strange lights in the sky”. NASA reported that the light came from an artificial noctilucent cloud formed by the exhaust particles of the rocket’s fourth stage at an altitude of about 278 km.

A great place to hunt clouds not to be missed is the Cau Dat area. This place has majestic nature, surrounded by hills with a green patch. Early in the morning clouds spread in a dense layer into the valleys below. Make you feel like you are lost in a sea of ​​clouds. The best time to take pictures of “hunting clouds” is in the early morning from 5:30 to 6:15. So you usually have to wake up and depart quite early. When the clouds and the dawn begin to embrace each other, it will create extremely precious moments. Everyone is taking advantage of the best moments of cloud hunting. The props are cars decorated with eye-catching yellow textures to make the photos of hunting clouds more unique and impressive. A long line of young people lined up waiting for their turn to take pictures and check-in to hunt clouds at the infinity pool. What could be better than waking up together to hunt clouds early in the morning and have beautiful pictures for a lifetime… Young people often whisper to each other that: coming to Da Lat, you must hunt clouds at least once in your life. The feeling of being lost in the paradise of hunting clouds floating in the early morning will definitely be unforgettable. Not only hunting clouds, you can also see the pine forest in the distant mountains. The scene is blurry, the clouds are rolling and rolling, then drifting in front of your eyes. In this cloud hunting paradise, there are also countless other cute props for young people to freely “live virtual”.

Hunting clouds in Hang Kia – Pa Co. (Photo: Cung Phuc) Hang Kia – Pa Co valley is as beautiful as a fairyland. Hang Kia – Pa Co is located in the middle of Xa Linh and Luong Xa mountain ranges, with an average altitude of 800-900m above sea level, a cool year-round climate and surrounded by primeval forests with invaluable vegetation. equally rich. Drug hotspot turns into a beautiful cloud hunting spot Hang Kia, in Thai is “Bat Cave”, and Pa Co means “Goat Forest”, the residence of the Mong people in these two communes, which were formerly the villages of the Thai people. However, because it is not suitable for farming and living practices, the Thai people here have moved elsewhere. About 30km from Mai Chau town, Hang Kia – Pa Co are the two most difficult communes of Mai Chau district, once the capital of opium and a hot spot for drugs and social evils of Hoa Binh province. The cause of this situation is that the Mong here have a close relationship with the Mong people in Van Ho district (Son La) and the Mong people in Laos. Taking advantage of this, some subjects have carried out acts of illegally trading and transporting drugs. Since then, criminal lines have been formed and this place has become a transit point for drugs from Laos to Vietnam. Currently, Hang Kia – Pa Co has returned to its peaceful rhythm of life. Some households have begun to develop homestay tourism, attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists. From 2010 up to now, the local tourism activities began to have strong development steps. Since 1986, Hang Kia – Pa Co was planned as a special-use forest and in 1997 was converted into a nature reserve. The residents here are up to 90% of the Mong ethnic group, which still retains many unique cultural features. Khen dance – one of the unique cultural features of the Mong people in general and the Mong people in Hang Kia – Pa Co in particular. On festivals, the Mong ethnic group in Hang Kia – Pa Co organizes pounding day cakes to treat friends, this is also one of the unique culinary features here. The group took a souvenir photo at Hang Kia gate. (Photo: Huy Khoi) The most characteristic feature of Hang Kia – Pa Co for tourists is to go to “heaven’s gate” to “hunt clouds”. From above, visitors can watch white clouds floating around the mountains. We went to Hang Kia on a last day of April. The period from October last year to April next year is the ideal time to hunt clouds because these days with high humidity and cold will easily have the opportunity to meet more cloudy. The night before, we sat outside to eat and drink, surrounded by clouds making us feel like we were sitting in a refrigerator, a natural refrigerator. If you don’t wear a hat, it will only take a moment for the clouds to soak your hair. The later it got late, the colder it got, a few rains came, making our group all secretly happy that tomorrow morning will hunt clouds successfully. We woke up at 5am so we could reach the sky gate at 5:30am to hunt clouds. On the way, the gravel roads are messy, foggy, going 1-2m apart but “faint human image”. The more we waited, the less we could see the clouds descending, twisting together densely and floating around the mountain peaks. So cloud hunting failed. Kha A Dinh, the owner of A Dinh homestay, told us that if it rains heavily the night before, and the next morning is sunny, the hunt for clouds will succeed. “This season is the best season to hunt clouds, hopefully, you guys are lucky next time,” A Dinh said. Hang Kia and Pa Co market If the rattan hunt fails, you can visit Hang Kia and shop at Pa Co fair. In fact, very few people are allowed to enter Hang Kia because this place is not a tourist attraction, but is under the management of the Ministry of Defense. Fortunately, we were loved by the local people and personally took us to Hang Kia to tell us the name was taken to give this place name. What you should pay special attention to when entering Hang Kia is to stay away from the Ki tree, a wild plant that grows along the entrance to the cave, has very sharp thorny leaves that sting like a needle. Locals said that sometimes when I don’t look at it, it also stabs itself. We had to actively use our shoes to crush the Ki tree so it wouldn’t hit us. Entering the cave, we caught a few bats flying out of nowhere, then flew away again. That’s the Bat Cave. The cave is small and deep. Sometimes we had to crouch to keep our heads off. In the cave there are many stalactites, traces left by thousands of years of water droplets flowing on the top. Pa Co market takes place on Sunday mornings with products of the indigenous Hmong people. Banned pork is sold at the market gate. The red pork pieces like beef, white fat and thick, the price is about the same as pork in the city, but definitely much better. Dresses and shirts sewn and embroidered by the people themselves are also on sale, priced at 1 million/piece. The price is expensive because this is completely handmade. To sew a brocade dress/shirt, it takes a month of hard work for the sisters/mothers. There are Hmong women about 70-80 years old who bring ginseng roots, precious plants only in this area, and lovely Mong dogs… for sale. People often buy and bargain less because people here are still too poor, buying to support them is the main thing. Group of tourists taking pictures with Mong children in Mongolian village, Hang Kia. (Photo: Huy Khoi) With a cool year-round climate, and located on a famous tourist route connecting Mai Chau and Moc Chau, going to Hang Kia is often combined with tourists to visit neighboring areas. For example, if in the calendar year, you can run to Moc Chau to see plum or peach blossoms, take advantage of visiting Hang Kia to play. There is also a plum garden here for you to see, if you like. Located between Tan Lac and Mai Chau on National Highway 6, you can go through Thung Khe Pass or Da Trang Pass, you can see the clear sky in the morning, the afternoon sun is hot, the sky is blue, the afternoon is gentle with sunlight. Afternoon sun and night fog spread all over the road. Going down Mai Chau 30km, visitors can visit Lac village, Mai Chau, a famous and poetic attraction among high mountains and green rice fields. Currently, Lac and Mai Chau villages have developed community tourism with electric cars that take tourists to visit 8 villages, there are double bicycles for renters to cycle through fragrant ripe rice fields.

Surfing in Siargao. For surfing enthusiasts Siargao is located in Surigao del Norte province, the easternmost of the Philippines, 805km from the capital Manila, with an area of ​​437km2. This island was “awakened” when American photographer John Seaton Callahan published pictures in Surfer magazine in 1993. Shortly after being discovered, this place quickly attracted a large number of tourists to surf. . Surfing has become a traditional culture in this beautiful island. Siargao deserves to be the “surfing paradise of the Philippines” with 15 world-class surf spots, the most famous of which is Cloud 9. The fault reef to the right gives Cloud 9 fierce waves. , tall, thick and hollow tube, challenging even professional surfers. The waves in Siargao are ideal all year round but are most perfect from mid-August to early November. Siargao Cup is held annually in September-October, attracting thousands of participants and it is a sign of status. of the island in the world of surfers. Even if you’re not a surfer or haven’t reached the skill level needed to deal with the waves at Cloud 9, you should still come and take a stroll along the boardwalk leading to the station. indoor observation – where you can enjoy spectacular surf. This is also a great place to take pictures of the ocean. If you don’t know how to surf, you should sign up for an accelerated course. Most surf centers are run by Australian surfers who consider Siargao their home. Interesting experiences In addition to surfing, clear sea water, diverse marine life and many colorful coral reefs make this a great diving destination, such as Casulian, Pilar Twin Rocks, Shark Point and Seeco Reef. Boating activities on the blue water, between white sand and bright yellow sunshine will definitely bring visitors many unforgettable experiences. Try “slow living” with Siargao by walking on the romantic beaches, under the shade of coconut trees or swinging in a hammock to watch the sun fade over the sea. At the northernmost point of Siargao island is Taktak – the only waterfall on the island with unique value with cool fresh water flowing into a shallow tank. Although the waterfall is not too majestic, in return, it is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery with verdant forests and cool smooth water. If you want, you can immerse yourself in the clear lake at the foot of the waterfall and listen to the melodious birdsong. After exploring the scenery on Siargao Island, visitors can take a boat cruise to the neighboring islands. The nearby island of Guyam is a deserted, uninhabited paradise with white sands dotted with coconut palms. Next to it, there is an impressive Naked Island with a 200m long open-air sandbar that is not obscured from any angle. Daku has more locals, the beach is breathtakingly beautiful, and it’s a place to go freediving or scuba diving. Siargao’s wild beauty captivates people. Priceless wild beauty Dressed in a dreamlike landscape, Siargao is blessed with an extremely diverse flora and fauna, from vegetables to trees, sea turtles, large fish or non-poisonous jellyfish, not to mention a wide range of species. other terrestrial wildlife. The name of the island is derived from “Sha-gow” – the name of a species of mangrove that is abundant on the island. Siargao owns an isolated location, without an international airport, so it still retains the wild, natural beauty that many other islands have lost due to the tourism boom. The number of visitors to Siargao every year is moderate. This helps the island with a population of about 200,000 avoid overcrowding, pollution and commercialization. In addition to the wild natural beauty and impeccable service quality, Siargao also attracts visitors thanks to its unique cuisine. Seafood is a staple in resorts and restaurants. Barracuda at Siargao Inn and Tataki tuna in Sagana top the list of must-try items. The absence of single-use plastic is a big plus for restaurants on the island. In 2019, surpassing famous names such as Tahiti, Hawaii, Bora Bora, Bali…, Siargao was voted the most beautiful island in the world by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Siargao has just developed tourism, still remaining wild, rustic, peaceful and clean, so it is easy to understand why this is one of the destinations that should not be missed in the journey to visit the country of thousand islands.

– What is the difference between the RPA (Robotics Process Automation) solution provided by Viettel compared to similar services on the market? – Viettel’s RPA is an end-to-end service, that is, comprehensive consulting from possibilities and opportunities to automate RPA to deploying automation, operation and optimization solutions to improve customer experience, employee experience during implementation. Viettel “tailored” to each customer, depending on their business. Mr. Doan Dai Phong – Deputy General Director of Viettel Solutions. – What special strengths does Viettel have when providing this service to other businesses and organizations? – Viettel’s first strength with RPA services is infrastructure, because RPA must combine other digital services such as IoT (Internet of Things), edge computing, and Cloud. The second strength is human resources, technology along with experience in solving internal problems in robotics. We believe these are our strengths when solving RPA problems for customers. – What difficult problems has Viettel solved to create strengths when deploying RPA solutions for customers? – Viettel is a multi-industry corporation, so it works in many fields such as finance and accounting, network operation, logistics … and needs to apply many robotics problems. For example, in terms of financial reconciliation, on average, Viettel reconciles from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of businesses a month. If we use manual invoicing, we will need a lot of manpower. However, when applying RPA, Viettel’s financial reconciliation only needs about 50-60 people, because most of the operations are handled automatically when receiving invoices from businesses. Accordingly, instead of manually entering invoice information into the system, and then having to check if the customer’s information included in the invoice is correct with Viettel’s management system, the application of RPA can help speed up to more than 10 times and save 70% on personnel costs. – With an external customer, how long will it take to deploy RPA for the business? – Implementation time will depend on the business of the business. According to my research, some banks in the world usually apply about 50-100 processes. On average, businesses need to apply RPA to about 50 processes. Meanwhile, within 1-3 months, Viettel can deploy RPA 3-5 processes. – What is the most difficult thing when implementing Viettel’s RPA solutions? – In my opinion, for RPA, about 80% of cases will not have any difficulty in deploying, because the essence of RPA is to apply robotics to operations that have to be done manually. The biggest difficulty when applying RPA is often when implementing it with other technology solutions. For example, when taking data from sensors to push to a centralized data warehouse, it is necessary to apply many different technologies such as IoT, related to Big Data, and then apply RPA. The difficulty will lie in the combination with other technologies, but in terms of implementing RPA solutions, there is almost no difficulty. Viettel signed strategic cooperation agreements with many enterprises. – Viettel has just signed a strategic cooperation agreement in implementing many digital transformation solutions for 3 companies, namely Vietnam Airports Corporation, Nova Group, and Saigon Newport Corporation. If deploying Viettel’s RPA solutions, how will they change? – The nature of internal efficiency of Viettel may partly reflect the effectiveness of customers. I once read a statistic showing that when applying RPA, on average, businesses can reduce costs by 30%, increase work accuracy by 99%. RPA can handle up to 25% of banking jobs, 36% of processes in healthcare and other industries.

Although I have traveled to many places and conquered many mountain peaks with beautiful landscapes in the world, the journey to Nhiu Co San, Lung Cung and Lao Than is a trip that really leaves many memories with difficult impressions. forget. The trip is like reading a special book that each person usually only reads once. Photographer Hung Lekima and his friends have just had a trip to conquer the unique peaks in Lao Cai, where few people know about. He shares this journey with travel followers of Zing . Photographer Viet Hung Lekima atop Nhiu Co San. Cloud hunting season is usually from about October this year to April next year. We have three journeys to three different peaks in Lao Cai and Yen Bai from September to November 2020. Each time our group has from 15 to 20 members. The most memorable memory is the trip under the rain and mud, it took 8 hours to get to the shack at an altitude of 2,100 m, the rain showed no sign of stopping. The next day, we had to wait, watch, really wanted everyone to have more time to rest, so we started later than expected. When I finished climbing to the top, back to the shack, many of my companions left early, but there were also people who returned when it was already dark. Walking in the dark forest, slippery roads, raining… a heart-pounding experience… Lao Than – roof of Y Ty’s house It is said that it takes two stones to make fire, and it takes teamwork and cooperation to achieve great things. In times of fatigue when conquering the mountain peaks, I still see people around me sharing each other’s cakes, bottles of water, medicine and other drugs. Even unfortunately, someone got injured, walked slowly, someone stayed with the porter to help them… There was no shortage of words of encouragement to overcome difficulties together, especially when our group traveled a lot when it was raining, cold and muddy. When you face many difficulties while climbing, it is also a fertile ground to show the other world inside you, the world of compassion, helping people around, which are priceless things. Located at an altitude of 2,860 m, Lao Than peak is considered as the roof of Y Ty, in the territory of Phin Ho village, Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province. Lao Than with Nhiu Co San peak is a pair of mother and father mountains that the Hmong call it Hau Pong San. This is also an ideal place to hunt clouds. Lao Than – where the sun rises the earliest and goes to bed late in Y Ty. To set foot on the roof of Y Ty, we have to climb 8 km to the top, which takes at least 6 hours. If we want to hunt clouds on the top of Lao Than, we have to climb the mountain in the afternoon and stay overnight on the top to wake up early the next morning to catch the dawn, watching the white clouds fly. Nhiu Co San – steppe in the clouds Nhiu Co San is the 9th highest mountain in Vietnam with an altitude of 2,965 m, belonging to Nhiu Co San village, Sang Ma Sao commune, Bat Xat district, Lao Cai. This mountain is one of the unspoiled places with primeval forests and rich vegetation offering a variety of landscapes. This place has a very beautiful waterfall like a silk ribbon dropped from the sky. People are easily bewildered with the wooly path in the dense forest with mossy rock layers at the foot, wide view with majestic mountains. Nhiu Co San deserves to be one of the mountains in the north to conquer. Nhiu Co San is also known as Horn Trau mountain, because it also has another nearly equal mountain next to it. These two mountains standing side by side look like buffalo horns. Therefore, the world in the clouds here is different from other mountains. Standing here, you can see a huge waterfall of clouds flowing thanks to a buffalo horn next to it. From Sang Ma Sao, you have to go 7 km through the gravel and stone road to Nhiu Co San village to start the journey. To “touch” the buffalo horn, we had to climb 9 km, it took about 8 hours to get there. Usually, anyone who comes here also sleeps in a shack in the forest to conquer early the next day to see the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds on the mountain top. Lung Cung – a beautiful picnic road in the clouds People often say “time heals all wounds” but I think it must be “nature heals all wounds”. Climb the mountain to see yourself not only living. After all, man is born from nature. When you return, put yourself in the heart of nature, whether unconsciously or not you feel so small and feel equal to all living things. It helps you to see things become lighter, regain inner optimism and bring fresh vitality after each trip. Located at an altitude of 2,913 m, Lung Cung peak is named after a village located deep in the rugged and beautiful mountains in Nam Co commune, Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai. To conquer this mountain, we had to sit behind a motorbike 15 km on a slippery road, our hearts wanted to jump out of our chests. Many sections can not sit in the car but have to walk in drizzly and blind weather. But after strenuously climbing to an altitude of more than 2,300 meters, a miracle happened. We were surprised: “This is the paradise of the heavens”. The sun is warm and welcoming. A whole river of white clouds played at my feet, like I didn’t know and thought a bit about how cold and wet the ground was… My heart seemed to burst. Even so, this is a relatively easy mountain to conquer. We climbed straight to the top in the day with 7 km and took 6 hours, to watch the sunset and then back to the shack. Early the next morning from the shack we continued climbing for about 1 hour to reach the top to watch the sunrise in the sea of ​​clouds. Nature has many miracles After countless hikes and flashbacks of the trips. I remember the early morning, the dark night, climbing the mountain in the cold mist, clouds and unknown winds… The hard work of “marching” just to watch the mountains coincide with thousands of mighty soldiers. “Mountains walk in the cold mist, mountains go in clouds, mountains go in the wind, mountains quietly watch themselves in the deep valleys, mountains are mysteriously herds of horses, mountains coincide with thousands of mighty soldiers.” Remembering the feeling of the night in the cold forest, it was hard to sleep. Remember the feeling of helplessness when your legs hurt too much, your back is tired but you still don’t know when you can get down the mountain. Remember the hikes in the pouring rain, cold, slippery roads and muddy feet. Remember the temporary lunches on the road that could not be lit because the wind was too strong. Remember how many times you were about to give up, or the most difficult and tiring times on the mountain, thinking that you would not climb any more mountains… Having appeared for a long time in the world, the sport of mountain climbing seems to be still quite new in Vietnam. Even many people think that it is simply another name for “phèo”. In fact, climbing is a form of adventure tourism, an outdoor sport where participants do not have any means of transportation other than their own feet. You climb mountains not so the world can see you, but so you can see the magical world of yourself. When we crossed the hills, mountains, plateaus and strange countryside by ourselves, we had to accept much more difficulties and hardships. And surely there will be no shortage of times when bored and tired, it seems that you can give up. But the feeling of approaching the magical world inside you, touching the very beautiful, wild and pure pieces of the forest and nature is truly worth a thousand times the hardship that we have experienced. by.

Securing the wifi router is the first step homeowners need to take to protect their smart home. During use, it is recommended to update the router’s firmware and always use a complex password for the wifi router. If the router manufacturer does not provide new firmware, users should consider replacing it. Just like not checking your bank account from public wifi, homeowners should avoid accessing smarthome from an open wifi network, but if you need to remotely access your home, use a private network. Using a separate wifi for smart home systems is necessary because sharing a wifi system has many potential safety risks. Smarthome prioritizes the system to be able to self-alert to abnormal intrusion to ensure safety, so users should use devices with automatic alarm setting feature. When there is an unusual intrusion, a notification will be sent to the homeowner’s phone immediately. In smarthome, not only home lock, smart home control applications need abnormal login warning feature, this helps homeowners recognize the risk of network attack to implement instant protection options. then. In a smart home, if there is a smart speaker with a screen or camera, users should consider turning off or covering the camera when there is no need to use it. This is similar to the fact that many people have a habit of covering the webcam on their laptop to avoid unfortunate images being recorded. Smart devices of unknown origin are at risk of being installed with spyware, which is easy to lose control and have data stolen. To be safe, it is recommended to use equipment from reputable companies, need to check the company history, product support period. From this information, a decision can be made whether to buy the product or not. And more specifically, it is very important to check the owner of the servers that will contain his home’s information because most smarthome devices used in the home communicate with servers in the cloud. In the process of studying the operation of the smart home control system, security experts have discovered serious security holes. Security flaws in the cloud infrastructure and remote code execution, causing a third party to acquire the “super user” right to access and control the smart home system.

iCloud will ‘transform’ next year. According to the MacRumors , iCloud Documents & Data, and iCloud Drive can all back up and sync data in a number of apps. However, the weak point of iCloud Documents & Data is that there is no management app like iCloud Drive. Data transferred will not be included in the general capacity of iCloud, but users need to enable iCloud Drive to view and manage data. iCloud is one of the important features on iOS devices. This is not only a place to store data and photos safely and securely, but also a good choice to free up space on your Mac or iPhone. Starting in May 2022, Apple is working to minimize confusion and streamline different parts of iCloud Drive. Documents & Data service will stop working and all data in it will be transferred to iCloud Drive automatically. Ultimately, the difference users will notice is that they’ll be able to view and access this data directly in the Files app on iOS or Finder on Mac. However, while the conversion will take place automatically, viewing the data in iCloud Drive will not. Users will have to enable this feature separately. Introduced in 2014, iCloud Drive is part of the iCloud cloud service, allowing Apple device users to share, manage, and sync files between their Mac, iPhone, and iPad, just like in storage like Google. Drive, Microsoft OneDrive …

Zoom application icon. (Photo: AFP / VNA) The wave of selling technology shares continues to hit companies with cloud services most, as investors withdraw their capital from these companies. share the strongest increase in the last year. While index Dow Jones is close to record levels, the index of companies providing cloud services is at its lowest level in six months. Stock price of WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund, a fund that tracks the index of cloud services companies, includes 56 shares, down 2.4%, the seventh day of decrease in the past eight days (as of 10 / 5). Technology stocks began to sell out in February and sold out faster in the past few weeks. The main cause of the market’s diversion is concern about the possibility of an interest rate rise as this will normally negatively impact high-growth firms, combined with the attractiveness of stocks that are often beneficial. so when inflation is as high as finance, goods and industry. Compared to a year ago, the index of cloud services companies fell 15%, while the Dow Jones Index rose 14% and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 4%. In the last year, a sharp increase in the cloud service provider’s index thanks to an unexpectedly fast transition to remote work, forcing businesses to use products that enable employees to coordinate. remote and access to data stored in data centers. From Zoom for video chat and Twilio to text exchanges to CrowdStrike and Zscaler’s security tools, large businesses have had to buy new technologies for widespread use. Global X analyst Pedro Palandrani, who manages venture funds, says 2020 is a phenomenal year for companies providing cloud services by working remotely. He said it would be a mistake to reopen the economy to stop everyone from using computing solutions. cloud Twilio said last week that the first quarter of 2021 revenue increased 62%, exceeding the forecast of analysts. ServiceNow also outperformed the forecast with a 30% increase in revenue. Zoom had three consecutive quarters of growth of over 300% and an estimated increase of over 175% in the first quarter.

In 2019, Microsoft revealed more colorful new icons and showed off the new Windows 10 logo.

Using this algorithm, Chia mining does not consume too much power because only the hard drive is free. Chia’s network has now mobilized more than 2,700 PiB (1 PiB = 1125.9 TB) of available hard drive space. Very quickly, Chia caught the attention of Amazon and launched a virtual money mining service in the cloud exclusively for the China region. The Amazon website also shows how to set up a cloud service to create a Split wallet, create a space, and how to mine in just 5 minutes. Dong Chia is being traded on a number of small exchanges with a large fluctuation range. Dong Chia started the validation process and allowed mining on March 19, a process known as the mainnet. At that time, Chinese miners flocked to e-commerce sites to buy hard drives and sold these items out of stock, mainly in the super-hard drive segment of 10 TB or more. And after about two months, Chia was officially listed on May 4 last with the virtual currency code XCH, starting price 1,700 USD. But immediately this currency must witness selling momentum causing it to drop in value to only $ 700 before recovering around $ 900 mark. Over time, with the Bitcoin fever, new virtual currencies are constantly appearing and being pumped, making it worth fluctuating up and down. The volatility of the virtual currency market is part of the reason that many countries are afraid of Bitcoin in general and virtual currencies in particular. Phuong Nguyen (According to CoinDesk)

Detroit’s explanation of the origins of artificial intelligence (AI) differs from reality. But basically artificial intelligence is still understood as a science fiction concept, a robot or a thinking machine. In fact, artificial intelligence is a complex program or algorithm, often focusing on machine learning standards. There is a funny story in the AI ​​science community: “Once something is realized with artificial intelligence, people will no longer call it artificial intelligence.” Indeed, with the advent of Siri and Duplex, linguistic AI applications, people are no longer using Turing Test to test the method of operation and the intelligence level of machine learning. Of course, many people still believe that machines cannot pass the Turing Test because it cannot understand human emotions through language. After all, humans themselves cannot fully understand how the brain works, of course they cannot give exact definitions of a “human-like” machine or set scientific standards. to measure it. And now, when artificial intelligence is bringing people closer to immortal life, humanity’s vision is once again expanding. Artificial intelligence paves the way to immortality In February 2011, the Avatar Project, also known as the Longevity Project, was started with the sponsorship of Russian media tycoon Dmitry Itskov. This is a project that creates immortality by transferring all of human intelligence, consciousness, and memory into computers, helping people get out of their physical form and exist in an Internet network in the form of waves. electronic. “For the next 30 years, I will make sure we can all live forever. I believe 100% of it will happen ”, the Russian billionaire confirmed. According to the roadmap, the Avatar Project will advance to phase 4 in 2045, when humans can give up their flesh and bones to take over the machine body and begin an immortal life with robots capable of change. shape according to thought. The year 2045 is also the time when artificial intelligence brings human immortality as predicted by the American inventor and futurist Raymond Kurzweil. He was the one who accurately predicted when computers would defeat the chess champion in 1997. Meanwhile, futurist Dr. Ian Pearson said that “humans will be immortal by year. 2060 ”. Whether it is the year 2045 or 2060 as predicted by the scientists, all confirmed that at some point, humans can completely connect their thoughts with the machine world, and we will live well in the cloud thanks to Digital immortality. The purpose is similar to the Avatar Project, but billionaire Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface, developed by Neuralink, does not put a lot of time on. This is a neural technology company founded in 2016, headquartered in San Francisco (USA), with specialization in brain-computer interface (BMI) development. Once there were many negative comments about artificial intelligence, even considering it a threat to humanity, Elon Musk finally set Neuralink for the long-term goal of achieving “symbiosis with human intelligence. create “. Currently, this brain-computer interface has gone beyond the laboratory facility and initially recognizing achievements for polio patients. In Neuralink’s latest experiment, the video of a monkey playing a game after being implanted in a brain chip caused shock in public opinion. Not only Avatar and brain-computer interface have brought positive results, there are a series of other projects that have also been promoted to quickly reveal the mysterious curtain of human immortality. In particular, artificial intelligence is still the focus of research and is also the most controversial area. “Life in the cloud” goes hand in hand with real life While researchers are still making proposals to legalize commercial applications of artificial intelligence, especially clones that possess human consciousness based on ethical standards, there are still many ideas. Pessimism about the future of AI. There is even an opinion that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity when out of control. However, “artificial intelligence not only does not destroy people but also gives people immortality” – said Baidu founder Ly Ngan Hoanh at the World Internet Conference in 2019. This is also is the view that has received the support of many scientists, especially the futurists. They believe that artificial intelligence will help people live forever thanks to digital immortality. Digital immortality is a new concept that has emerged in the past few decades and is defined as “the extension of active / passive digital existence after death”. This means that advanced knowledge management, AI, data mining, machine-to-machine communication with the function of presence after death, are now available in a number of projects specializing in creating characters. digital immortality. Typically Avatar, with the illustrated version of the user or the person’s personality in 2D or 3D form, possesses the ability to “think” and act according to the recorded data. These avatars are capable of constantly learning, developing and interacting autonomously if they still exist in the virtual world. This form closely resembles Romanbot, part of a realm of “augmented eternity” in the way that the human mind can be downloaded, recreated, and transformed into other forms. “Eventually the mind will become information that can move, just like files can move from device to device and live in the cloud,” said Michael Graziano, professor of psychology and the sciences. says at Princeton University. According to Alex Zhavoronkov (CEO Insilico Medicine), that is when artificial intelligence saves us from death instead of leading to a bizarre apocalypse. In fact, the AI ​​hub’s origins can be traced back to the 1968 anti-commercialization rebellion according to the data in Truls Unholt’s Vagant, while immortality in the “virtual world” goes hand in hand with the world. It is the destination that people will reach in the near future. Up to the present time, is the time to change our thinking about human union with technology and start thinking as a co-consciousness, instead of perpetuating the “mind” as Ideas by Stephen Hawking and Milton Friedman. As Robert Hertz wrote in 1907, we have two lives – one living in nature, one living in culture. Now, humanity will have one more life, an immortal life thanks to artificial intelligence technology, and in the words of future doctor Micho Kaku, it is just a “matter of time”.

Accordingly, when accessing the domain name phimmoizz.net, users only receive a message in English with the content “Error 522”. Starting from the morning of April 24, when accessing the domain name phimmoizz.net, users only receive a message in English with the content “Error 522.” (Screenshots) Thought the pirated movie websitemoizz.net was officially gone, in the afternoon of the same day, some netizens discovered a pirated movie website with the domain name phimmoiizz.net. However, in the afternoon of April 25, the Vietnamese online community continued to “get up” when the domain name phimmoiizz.net once again “evaporated” from the Internet. On the same afternoon on April 24, some netizens discovered a pirated movie website with the domain name phimmoiizz.net. (Screenshots) However, up to the present time, the domain name phimmoiizz.net has “evaporated” from the Internet. (Screenshots) With phimmoizz.net and phimoiizz.net taking turns “flying color”, many netizens believe that the future of Vietnam’s biggest pirated film website may be coming to an end. However, this pirated movie website has continuously changed its domain name to bypass the authorities, from phimmoi.net to phimmoiz.net and to phimmoizz.net. Therefore, it is still not possible to confirm that phimmoi.net will not continue to “proliferate” domain names to operate again in the near future. On June 18, 2020, the website phimmoi.net was blocked by network operators in Vietnam. However, many people believe that the above jobs only solve the tip of the problem. On June 18, 2020, the website phimmoi.net was blocked by network operators in Vietnam. (Photo: SAOstar) Accordingly, in recent years, creating a pirated movie website is said to be quite easy and does not cost too much. Owners of these pirated movie websites will buy unlimited cloud storage accounts at very cheap prices from cloud storage services such as Facebook, Google, Fshare, Openload … to store and project. movies that are not copyrighted. Along with that, buying domain names or international hosting is currently very easy and the cost is extremely cheap. So, in case a domain name is blocked, the website owner only needs to activate the new domain name and link it to his own movie store. Therefore, blocking the IP of a pirated movie website only solves the tip of the problem because immediately another website “pops up”. In the last few years, creating a pirated movie website has been said to be quite easy and does not cost too much. (Photo: Internet) The obvious proof is that after being blocked for a day, phimmoi.net resumes operation with a new domain name – phimmoiz.net. After that, phimmoiz.net continued to be blocked but also quickly returned to the domain name phimmoizz.net. According to many experts, if you want to solve the problem of pirated movies, you must first solve the tip of the problem – the consciousness of Internet users.

When there is no social gap and working from home anymore, the digital transition is still inevitable This report is a survey of 2,760 customer care professionals in 9 markets – Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, showing that despite companies are ready to change in the future, there are still some challenges. The data shows the customer service industry overview, the evolving customer experience and moving away from traditional channels. One of the ways that many companies are doing to improve communication with customers is to integrate an online chat application, from Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Business to Viber. In the long term, besides this solution, businesses need to look for developed technologies to meet the needs of customers’ communication quickly, effectively and personalized. The report showed that: Increasing demand during the epidemic: 54% of respondents said that increasing requests for assistance was the biggest challenge last year; Narrow the skills gap: 60% of respondents in the Asia-Pacific region believe that employee training is a top consideration when applying a digital customer care system; In the “danger” there are “opportunities”: In 2020, when countries implement a blockade, many businesses have employees to work remotely. 58% of respondents said that working remotely helps them better handle customer support requests. However, the report also shows that the customer care industry seems to be experiencing gaps in skills. Respondents in all markets in the survey said that employee training is the top consideration when applying digital systems in customer care. Further data research shows that issues such as diversification of customer support channels, management and familiarization of new support channels are the most common challenges in digital transformation. In Vietnam, when asked about difficulties related to digital technology in customer care activities, 51% of respondents said that it is more and more customer support channels and 38% of respondents said that they are more and more customer support channels. that they are not familiar with the new support channels.

Out of all surveyed markets, the customer care industry in Vietnam saw the most use of platforms and channels to deliver services. digital transformation in Vietnam is ready to “take off”.

Build a new generation of social media “make in Vietnam” that is responsible for users At the meeting of State management in the first quarter of 2021 of the Ministry of Information and Communications, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that from 2021 onwards, the Ministry of Information and Communications will announce “big problems” to the society. in order to call on agencies and businesses to join hands, contribute together to come up with solutions. On this occasion, the Minister of Information and Communications gave three problems for Vietnamese technology enterprises to come up with a “make in Vietnam” solution. Firstly, building a new generation social network (MXH): from a centralized data model to a distributed model, moving towards users who own their own data instead of all user data belonging to the network operator. Social networks are smaller, more customer oriented, and even charge fees; The platform addresses a social need and then becomes social media. MXH audio, voice communication; MXH ensures information security for users; Business social network for internal communication; publicity of the algorithm; MXH is social infrastructure, so it must be clean, responsible for users and to the society; MXH is the foundation, so it is necessary to share the value with users… These are the new features and features of the social network to replace the first generation. “This is an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to develop new generation social networks” – The Minister stated. Second, the need to build a new generation of search engine, aiming to ask a question that will have a reliable, usable answer instead of asking a question with millions of answers without knowing reliability. Besides, there is a phenomenon of people paying high advertising fees, the answer will appear first, so knowledge has been corrupted by money. Therefore, the new search engine must aim to communicate with the search engine through voice, which will be friendlier and closer to the user. Third, aiming to build personal museums in the digital environment and towards an immortal digital version that can interact with living people. The year 2021 is the first year the TT-TT industry implements the National Strategy of Digital Transformation (CDS) with the aim of leading the country. Accordingly, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung requires excellent strategy to lead, have breakthrough vision and solutions. In particular, the digital infrastructure strategy focuses on 5G and cloud, technology and infrastructure provided in the form of services, as a number of essential platforms, with a smartphone per person, per household. The family has a fiber-optic internet connection and HTS Vietnam must be in the top 30 in the world by 2025.

The leading German software company SAP has significantly increased the pace of relocating its core business to the cloud. The revenues for the flagship product S / 4Hana Cloud rose in the first quarter by 36 percent to 227 million euros, as the Walldorf-based DAX group announced. This was the first time he published figures on this development. S4 / Hana Cloud is a digital development and integration platform from SAP for software applications. It is intended to enable companies to access data in real time via the cloud.

What is the cloud The term cloud means the interaction of several server computers. These servers take over data storage or complicated program processes. Users can access this via the Internet, mostly via programs on the accessing devices (“clients”) and the web browser.

More customers should switch

The 227 million euros in sales with the S / 4 Hana Cloud make up only a fraction of the total cloud revenues, which were 2.15 billion euros from January to March – an increase of seven percent. SAP was able to increase the cloud revenues contractually guaranteed for the next twelve months by 19 percent to 7.6 billion euros. In the case of the S4 / Hana Cloud, this increase was 43 percent. The Walldorf-based company is now taking its customers by the hand more closely with the long reluctance to switch to the cloud. To this end, SAP boss Christian Klein introduced the “Rise with SAP” bundle offer in January, which is intended to enable customers to switch to the cloud versions of the SAP standard software more quickly. It now seems to be starting to take effect.

SAP boss Christian Klein relies on the cloud.

Strongest cloud growth in five years

“The first quarter of 2021 was unique in many ways. We had the highest growth in orders for the cloud business and software licenses in five years, and our operating income and operating margin rose the strongest in ten years,” said SAP CFO Luka Mucic . In the medium term, the accelerated conversion of SAP to the cloud business will accelerate sales growth and give the company significantly more resilience and planning security.

Profit increase of 70 percent

Because of the investments in the “Rise with SAP” program this year and next, SAP is also accepting lower earnings. In the first quarter, the DAX group was nevertheless able to increase its net profit 70 percent to 1.72 billion euros. The fresh figures are well received on the stock market. In an initial reaction, the SAP share rises up to 1.9 percent to 119 euros. That is the highest level in five months.

Huawei, which has always been prudent and prudent, has recently made intensive adjustments to its cloud business, which has aroused heated discussions in the outside world. On April 9, Huawei announced the appointment of Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun as Chairman of Huawei Cloud, and Huawei Consumer BG CEO Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO.

A week ago, on April 2, Huawei announced the abolition of Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) BG. On March 30, Huawei just appointed 11 members including Zhang Pingan (formerly President of Consumer Business Cloud Services) as Cloud&AI BG managers; Zhang Pingan was appointed as Cloud BU President.

At this point, the structural adjustment of the cloud business has come to an end in the turmoil. The latest Xu Zhijun + Yu Chengdong, the luxurious lineup of two generations of Huawei’s Titans, also made the speculation that “Huawei Cloud will develop independently or be sold” spread like wildfire. Some insiders bluntly said that “this is the management configuration of a listed company.”

At the Huawei Analyst Conference on April 12, Xu Zhijun gave a formal response to related hot topics. He pointed out that the abolition of cloud and computing BG is to focus on developing cloud business, increase the proportion of software service revenue, and reduce dependence on hardware.

As we all know, Huawei started by making communication equipment, and hardware revenue has always been the main driver. In recent years, the revenue of consumer business, which is dominated by mobile phones, has supported about 50% of its revenue. However, the blow of the ban made Huawei have to think about how to go on leaving the chip?

The cloud business is regarded by Huawei as a key “chess piece” for increasing software revenue. Guowei, the chief product official of Huawei Cloud, told Sohu Technology that this year’s cloud business will definitely continue to grow in three digits. On the one hand, Huawei attaches great importance to the cloud business, and customer demand is also great. According to official disclosures, Huawei Cloud will grow by 168% in 2020.

It should be noted that even if the cloud and computing BG has been withdrawn, the current cloud and computing entire sales and channel system remains consistent. Shi Jilin, President of Huawei Cloud and Computing Global Marketing and Sales Service Department, told media including Sohu Technology, “The future sales and channel system will be optimized and adjusted accordingly as business development needs.”

“The shortcoming that needs to be made up most is the user experience”

Compared with mainstream cloud vendors, Huawei Cloud is almost 10 years behind. Amazon AWS cloud computing service was commercialized in 2006, Alibaba Cloud was formally established in 2009, Tencent Cloud was commercialized in 13 years, and Huawei only established Cloud BU in 17 years and officially entered the public cloud.

“It is necessary to make up for shortcomings but also to find ways to surpass other manufacturers.” Fang Guowei told Sohu Technology that the biggest challenge for Huawei’s cloud business is that the business started relatively late. .

He pointed out that it took Huawei almost four years to go through the product development process of other manufacturers for about ten years. “We started to do public cloud in 17 years and developed more than 200 products in almost four years. The number of products is about the same as that of other vendors.”

The speed of HUAWEI CLOUD’s development should not be underestimated. According to Canalys’s Q4 China Cloud Service Market Report last year, Alibaba Cloud occupies an absolute leading position with a 40% share, Huawei Cloud ranks second with a 17% market share, and Tencent ranks third with a 15% share.

Dai Mingzhe, an analyst at Head Leopard Research Institute, told Sohu Technology that because of its first-mover advantage, Alibaba Cloud has always maintained the first place in market share. However, HUAWEI CLOUD is catching up with its accumulation in the ICT field and the precipitation of the government and enterprise markets, and is constantly shortening the gap with the leading manufacturers in the market.

Of course, in the pursuit of rapid development, Huawei Cloud also needs to make up for its shortcomings. “We are a traditional hardware-advanced company. There are no examples in the world of transforming into a software-advanced company. Our difficulties are imaginable.” Ren Zhengfei realized that changing from selling products to selling cloud services requires building cloud services. The ability and support to provide customers with the operation, operation and maintenance capabilities of cloud services.

A business manager of a domestic leading cloud vendor told Sohu Technology that Huawei Cloud’s long-tail customers have relatively weak operating capabilities. “Customers who consume hundreds of thousands a month in the order of magnitude, either look at the brand or buy the cheap ones. Huawei Cloud is a bit embarrassed in the middle. And the stability and performance of its products still need to be polished.”

Fang Guowei also bluntly told Sohu Technology that the shortcoming that needs to be made up most is the user experience to make the product more usable. Previously, it was more to quickly complement the functions, but there is still a lack of user experience. This year, it will be promoted as a focus.

“For example, in terms of product design, interaction design will strive to be more user-friendly; in terms of documentation, I hope that customers will understand how to operate immediately after reading the documentation, because a very important point in the cloud is self service.”

Relieve the pain of lack of core

Undoubtedly, sending two generals, Xu Zhijun and Yu Chengdong, can see how much Huawei attaches importance to the cloud business. Of course, frequent architectural shocks can also reveal Huawei’s entanglement in exploring cloud services.

At the beginning of 2020, Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) rose to Huawei’s fourth largest BG, Hou Jinlong served as the president of Cloud and Computing BG, and Peng Zhongyang as the president of Enterprise BG.

In January of this year, Huawei internally issued a document stating that consumer business CEO Yu Chengdong will concurrently serve as the president of Cloud and Computing BG, and Hou Jinlong, former president of Cloud and Computing BG, intends to appoint the chairman of Digital Energy. At that time, a Huawei insider revealed to Sohu Technology that “the development progress of the cloud business is average, and the slogans are more powerful. I hope Mr. Yu’s leadership can change the current state.”

On April 2, Huawei adjusted its cloud business again, appointing Zhang Pingan as the president of Cloud BU, and at the same time withdrew the cloud and computing BG, and the original server and storage were classified as “network products and solutions.”

About a week later, Huawei Cloud ushered in new personnel appointments again. Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun was appointed as Huawei Cloud Chairman, Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO, and Cloud BU added two deputy directors, Peng Zhongyang and Tao Jingwen in charge of corporate business. And process IT.

From the establishment of Cloud and Computing BG to the dismantling of Cloud and Computing BG, Cloud BU has once again returned to an independent state. Xu Zhijun said to the relevant changes that Huawei Cloud has always been an end-to-end independent BU. At the beginning of the establishment of HUAWEI CLOUD, it was hoped to coordinate the operation of servers and storage with HUAWEI CLOUD, but the collaborative operation was found to consume the energy of the cloud team.

He pointed out that the adjustments made now are to hope that the cloud business will be more independent and focus on developing cloud. At the same time, in the long run, we hope to increase the proportion of software service revenue.

Under the influence of the US ban, Huawei is also actively thinking about future business development issues. How does the future go? Xu Zhijun put forward five key strategic measures in the future, and the first one is to optimize the industrial mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially the enhancement of software capabilities, the strengthening of investment in advanced technology and weak-related industries and the investment in the smart auto parts industry.

Dai Mingzhe told Sohu Technology that under the ban, the chip industry chain will have a certain impact. However, Huawei’s cloud business will focus on software development in the future, and it is expected that this impact will be mitigated to a certain extent.

Can the cloud business become the next “cash cow”?

The cloud market still has development potential. Gartner data shows that as of 2019, the global cloud computing market reached US$188.3 billion, and it is expected that the market size will reach US$350 billion in 2023. According to the “2020 Cloud Computing Development White Paper” issued by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, China’s cloud computing market is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the next four years.

At the same time, the cloud business has brought huge returns to the top manufacturers. According to the 2020 earnings report, AWS cloud services contributed 11.7% of revenue and 59% of profits for Amazon. According to Microsoft’s financial report, since the Q3 quarter of fiscal year 2020, revenue from the smart cloud business has become Microsoft’s largest source of revenue for three consecutive quarters.

Of course, before the cloud business brought huge returns, it was also a terrible “golden beast”. Only after a huge investment can manufacturers “lie down and make money.” From the official commercial use of Amazon AWS in 2006 to 2015, it took nearly 10 years to turn around. year. Alibaba Cloud was founded in 2009, but it achieved breakeven for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2020, and it took about 11 years from a huge loss to a balance.

Gu Fan, general manager of cloud service product management for AWS Greater China, once said that it took nearly 10 years for AWS to achieve its first $10 billion in revenue from scratch, and it took 23 months for the second $10 billion increase. The third $10 billion increase took 13 months.

Huawei hopes to avoid excessive capital investment and emphasizes the construction of application ecology. Ren Zhengfei pointed out in his internal letter at the end of last year, “We can’t simply take the same path as Ali and Amazon. We don’t have that much money. They have endless amounts of money in the US stock market. How do we develop, we must find a way out. , Rather than simply imitating.”

In China, BAT Internet vendors, three major operators, Huawei Cloud, Kingsoft Cloud and other vendors gathered in the cloud computing track. A cloud computing-related practitioner told Sohu Technology that compared with other vendors, Huawei’s advantages lie in sales capabilities, key customer relationships, hardware coordination capabilities, and a top-to-bottom ecosystem.

Through the growth process of Amazon and Alibaba, we can see that cloud is not a “quick money” business. From its exposure to cloud computing in 2011, to its formal entry into the public cloud in 2017, and to the further improvement of its strategic position today, Huawei has not disclosed the revenue of its cloud business to the public.

It is foreseeable that Huawei Cloud still has a long way to go in the process of increasing software revenue and optimizing the industry mix.

Our group of 10 people rented a private car from Hanoi to Tram Tau to stay one night, buried in warm blankets to sleep deeply, nourished the journey of climbing Ta Xua the next morning. Reuniting with the local guide at the motel, the medical group finished the medical report, the pickup truck escorted a bumpy red dirt road to the starting point, and began to conquer Ta Xua. From this position, for the next couple or three days, contact with the outside world will be interrupted because there are only seas of clouds, sun, wind, trees … Ta Xua sea of ​​clouds Through the small slope, zooming the view of the two giant terraces winding around the hillside, you will see the village of the H’Mong people, the people who are leading their buffalo to the field, the young group excitedly calculating the construction of the wooden house. , the children engrossed in playfulness, the tangerine dogs followed the stranger as if welcoming. On both sides of the road, plum trees, plum trees have just white spots and a few flowers, the scenery here is so romantic and peaceful. The end of the village opens up a slippery dirt road, perhaps because of the rain the night before, the grass and trees have the opportunity to wear a green moss-colored shirt with shimmering crystal beads so beautiful. The first day of the journey is just the warm-up step, the group only needs to get to Shack 1 to rest, the path is not difficult but the weather is not supportive. Pausing for lunch by the apple tree tree, the group excitedly climbed to the top of the turtle to take a photo, the sun was completely out, everyone had taken away the white clouds, leaving a sad, smog-colored background. Passing through the immense and endless bamboo forest, but the weather is not getting better, a rare golden sunshine shines down on the bushes and soon disappears. Coming to the shack, when the footsteps were a bit heavy, I suddenly saw white clouds peeping behind the tall trees, the mist was blown away, the sky was clear, the sun was bright yellow and bright, my feet suddenly lightened. like flying towards the sun, according to the call of a group of friends at the top of the mountain. I have come to the real “kingdom on clouds”, all around me are clouds, countless clouds, white and thick like a giant cotton mattress floating in the blue sky. In the distance, the road known as the legendary “dinosaur’s backbone” instantly appeared in the white clouds evoking a chilling look. The rays of sunlight gradually let go of the sky, and I lay down on the big rock with great satisfaction. It turns out, summer sunbathing at the beach really likes and winter to bathe in the sunset on the sea of ​​clouds even more wonderful. That evening, our group of 10 people from all three regions of the North – Central – South gathered by the flaming fire in the middle of the mountain, under the 17 full moonlight together watching the stars, joyfully singing. “Dinosaur backbone” on the way to conquer Ta Xua peak When they wake up tomorrow morning, the group has to cross the “dinosaur spine”, find the dense forest at the end of the way to touch the top of Ta Xua and return to the shack before late afternoon. “Dinosaur’s backbone” is a small, winding, undulating mountain trail running to infinity. The road has many long continuous slopes up and down, the difficult terrain without big trees to block the wind, many small rocks are easy to slip. Local people have added a cable rail to make the climb safer, but the feeling of playing with as if standing on the edge of the abyss still exists when we look back on the way we went. Passing the last slope of the “dinosaur’s backbone”, the path was easier, the scenery was like in another world, the trees were lush green, the large, long branched trunks covered with moss of shapes freak. Out of the mossy forest is Ta Xua peak. We took a few commemorative photos and took advantage of the shack. The last day of the journey is the most gentle and enjoyable. The days in the mountains were wonderful. Every morning, I am eager to welcome the dawn, waiting for the first rays of sunlight to cool my soul, and immerse myself in the sea of ​​clouds. In the afternoon, watching the gentle sunset, in the evening, you can lean your back on the ground together to count the stars … I had brilliant, sweet, sweet days in “emir on the clouds” like that. Thank you, Ta Xua!

Mr. Cao Trung Hieu – CEO of Dan Tri Soft, Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung – Deputy General Director of SoftTech Da Nang, consultant on digital transformation strategy Dao Trung Thanh (Photo: Hoa Binh) Just a distant ideal? Regarding the proposal of Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung – Deputy General Director of SoftTech Da Nang, mentioning that there should be a set of criteria for opening an API to share data between businesses, Mr. Cao Trung Hieu – CEO of Dan Tri Soft (TP. Ho Chi Minh City) said: “The regulation of the API Open Criteria is just an idealized desire, but it is difficult to implement in reality”. Explaining more carefully, Mr. Cao Trung Hieu said: “The method of application development via API is a communication method between software, it belongs to IT expertise, and for users only need to know the software. is it useful or not? Big businesses around the world all have their own APIs that can be free or paid, but there will often be some discrepancies between one business and the other. With the same problem solving direction, IT businesses will surely have different ways, using different functions to create solutions to satisfy the problem posed by customers ”. Mr. Cao Trung Hieu gave a specific example: “For example, to make accounting software & comply with the requirements of the Ministry (if any), Dan Tri Soft when developing products have API standards for internal or to To share it outside, other businesses will use other functions as well to solve the same problem. The API integration will be done together by software enterprises to solve a certain customer request, so it is an administrative task to provide an API open criterion to share data. or ineffective for the software business. The essence here is the problem of market demand, assuming customers are using discrete software, these software companies will discuss together to offer an API connection system without a regulation. any key ”. Mr. Cao Trung Hieu – CEO of Dan Tri Soft (HCMC) – Photo: Hoa Binh Mr. Cao Trung Hieu analyzed: “It is easy to say API, but not all programmers and software development companies are capable of making API from the beginning, because it is much more complicated and expensive, but not necessarily. satisfy customer needs more than usual. When they were children, they worked quickly to make a living. When a little bit older, to get 100 customers, they must have the API as prescribed (if there is an administrative regulation as suggested). At that point, rewriting the program with the API would be difficult for them, especially maintaining compatibility with legacy clients (or at least maintaining the software development documentation). How many companies (including big ones) do Vietnam have? Recently, as the press published, Google decided not to use Oracle in the internal system but switched to SAP. The reason is that Oracle does not grant certification for Google’s cloud service to be compatible with the Oracle system. They said that Oracle cloud is competing with Google cloud, so they will not certify competitors … Thus, it can be seen that, if there was no architecture, design from the beginning, it would have to “beat up. “But repairing is even more expensive than making new ones”. There is no set of API criteria Agreeing with Mr. Cao Trung Hieu, consultant of digital transformation strategy Dao Trung Thanh also rejected Mr. Ngo Thanh Tung’s proposal: “What to do with the so-called API criteria set? APIs of Microsoft, Google, IBM, Amazon, SAP, Oracle … all have their own API sets! The problem is that they can publish to other software to use their API functions and thus can integrate system. The purchase of individual software from companies and then integrating is always a headache for the developers ”. Mr. Dao Trung Thanh Mr. Dao Trung Thanh affirmed: “Such a proposal is very impractical! For example, say that the software developed by Viettel and VNPT or FPT is already having API functions and they are certainly different. Then what kind of criteria is agreed? Beating the API over and over? It’s not that simple when the system has millions of lines of code and has to be reworked ”. Mr. Dao Trung Thanh further analyzed: “There are 2 issues, about openness depending on company policies, policies for publishing APIs. Some companies forcefully defend their APIs. For example, Sony typically only makes PlayStation 2’s official API available to registered PlayStation developers. This is because Sony wants to limit who can write games on PlayStation 2, and wants to profit from these people as much as possible. This is often the policy for companies that do not benefit from selling their API implementations. However, PlayStation 3 is fully announced APIs. Some companies offer free APIs. For example, Microsoft publishes almost complete information about APIs, so that software can be written to run on Windows platforms. The sale of third-party software coincides with the purchase of the Microsoft Windows operating system. These are usually the companies that profit from the sale of API implementations ”. Mr. Cao Trung Hieu assessed that, in terms of drug management alone, the data sharing has a positive effect: “All information on circulation and sale of pharmacies and pharmacies is linked to The health department adopts an API method between the software of the health department and the pharmacy management software, helping the management agency get more timely and more honest data ”. “However, it should be understood that this is data sharing according to national standards, not the health ministry opening data API to the outside. As for data connection from pharmacy management software and pharmacy to the medical department software, free software companies choose their own API connection method, as long as the data is in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Health. to include in the data system of regulatory agencies. The story of opening API data only concerns IT companies, but for users, they only need the result of convenience thanks to connectivity, stability and software development capabilities ”- Mr. Cao Trung Hieu confirmed.

Huawei, which has always been prudent and prudent, has recently made intensive adjustments to its cloud business, which has aroused heated discussions from outsiders. On April 9, Huawei announced the appointment of Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun as Chairman of Huawei Cloud, and Huawei Consumer BG CEO Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO.

A week ago, on April 2, Huawei announced the abolition of Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) BG. On March 30, Huawei just appointed 11 members including Zhang Pingan (formerly President of Consumer Business Cloud Services) as Cloud&AI BG managers; Zhang Pingan was appointed as Cloud BU President.

At this point, the structural adjustment of the cloud business has come to an end in the turmoil. The latest Xu Zhijun + Yu Chengdong, the luxurious lineup of two generations of Huawei’s Titans, also made the speculation that “Huawei Cloud will develop independently or be sold” spread like wildfire. Some insiders bluntly said that “this is the management configuration of a listed company.”

At the Huawei Analyst Conference on April 12, Xu Zhijun gave a formal response to related hot topics. He pointed out that the abolition of cloud and computing BG is to focus on developing cloud business, increase the proportion of software service revenue, and reduce dependence on hardware.

As we all know, Huawei started by making communication equipment, and hardware revenue has always been the main driver. In recent years, the revenue of consumer business, which is dominated by mobile phones, has supported about 50% of its revenue. However, the blow of the ban made Huawei have to think about how to go on leaving the chip?

The cloud business is regarded by Huawei as a key “chess piece” for increasing software revenue.Guowei, the chief product official of Huawei Cloud, told Sohu Technology that this year’s cloud business is definitely still growing in three digits. On the one hand, Huawei attaches great importance to the cloud business, and customer demand is also great. According to official disclosures, Huawei Cloud will grow by 168% in 2020.

It should be noted that even if the cloud and computing BG has been withdrawn, the current cloud and computing entire sales and channel system remains consistent. Shi Jilin, President of Huawei Cloud and Computing Global Marketing and Sales Service Department, told media including Sohu Technology, “The future sales and channel system will be optimized and adjusted accordingly as business development needs.”

“The shortcoming that needs to be made up most is the user experience”

Compared with mainstream cloud vendors, Huawei Cloud is almost 10 years behind. Amazon AWS cloud computing service was commercialized in 2006, Alibaba Cloud was formally established in 2009, Tencent Cloud was commercialized in 13 years, and Huawei only established Cloud BU in 17 years and officially entered the public cloud.

“It is necessary to make up for shortcomings but also to find ways to surpass other manufacturers.”Fang Guowei told Sohu Technology that the biggest challenge for Huawei’s cloud business is that the business started relatively late..

He pointed out that it took Huawei almost four years to go through the product development process of other manufacturers for about ten years. “We started to do public cloud in 17 years and developed more than 200 products in almost four years. The number of products is about the same as that of other vendors.”

The speed of HUAWEI CLOUD’s development should not be underestimated. According to Canalys’ Q4 China Cloud Service Market Report last year, Alibaba Cloud occupies an absolute leading position with a 40% share, Huawei Cloud ranks second with a 17% market share, and Tencent ranks third with a 15% share.

Dai Mingzhe, an analyst at Head Leopard Research Institute, told Sohu Technology that because of its first-mover advantage, Alibaba Cloud has always maintained the first place in market share. However, HUAWEI CLOUD is catching up with its accumulation in the ICT field and the precipitation of the government and enterprise markets, and is constantly shortening the gap with the leading manufacturers in the market.

Of course, in the pursuit of rapid development, Huawei Cloud also needs to make up for its shortcomings. “We are a traditional hardware-advanced company. There are no examples in the world of transforming into a software-advanced company. Our difficulties are imaginable.” Ren Zhengfei realized that changing from selling products to selling cloud services requires building cloud services. The ability and support to provide customers with the operation, operation and maintenance capabilities of cloud services.

A business manager of a domestic leading cloud vendor told Sohu Technology that Huawei Cloud’s long-tail customers have relatively weak operating capabilities. “Customers who consume hundreds of thousands a month in the order of magnitude, either look at the brand or buy the cheap ones. Huawei Cloud is a bit embarrassed in the middle. And the stability and performance of its products still need to be polished.”

Fang Guowei also bluntly told Sohu Technology that the shortcoming that needs to be made up most is the user experience to make the product more usable. Previously, it was more to quickly complement the functions, but there is still a lack of user experience. This year, it will be promoted as a focus.

“For example, in terms of product design, interaction design will strive to be more user-friendly; in terms of documentation, I hope that customers will understand how to operate immediately after reading the documentation, because a very important point in the cloud is self service.”

Relieve the pain of lack of core

Undoubtedly, sending two generals, Xu Zhijun and Yu Chengdong, can see how much Huawei attaches importance to the cloud business. Of course, frequent architectural shocks can also reveal Huawei’s entanglement in exploring cloud services.

At the beginning of 2020, Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) rose to Huawei’s fourth largest BG, Hou Jinlong served as the president of Cloud and Computing BG, and Peng Zhongyang as the president of Enterprise BG.

In January of this year, Huawei internally issued a document stating that consumer business CEO Yu Chengdong will concurrently serve as the president of Cloud and Computing BG, and Hou Jinlong, former president of Cloud and Computing BG, intends to appoint the chairman of Digital Energy. At that time, a Huawei insider revealed to Sohu Technology that “the development progress of the cloud business is average, and the slogans are more powerful. I hope Mr. Yu’s leadership can change the current state.”

On April 2, Huawei adjusted its cloud business again, appointing Zhang Pingan as the president of Cloud BU, and at the same time withdrew the cloud and computing BG, and the original server and storage were classified as “network products and solutions.”

About a week later, Huawei Cloud ushered in new personnel appointments again. Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun was appointed as Huawei Cloud Chairman, Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO, and Cloud BU added two deputy directors, Peng Zhongyang and Tao Jingwen in charge of corporate business. And process IT.

From the establishment of Cloud and Computing BG to the dismantling of Cloud and Computing BG, Cloud BU has once again returned to an independent state. Xu Zhijun said to the relevant changes that Huawei Cloud has always been an end-to-end independent BU. At the beginning of the establishment of HUAWEI CLOUD, it was hoped to coordinate the operation of servers and storage with HUAWEI CLOUD, but the collaborative operation was found to consume the energy of the cloud team.

He pointed out that the adjustments made now are to hope that the cloud business will be more independent and focus on developing cloud. At the same time, in the long run, we hope to increase the proportion of software service revenue.

Under the influence of the US ban, Huawei is also actively thinking about future business development issues. How does the future go? Xu Zhijun put forward five key strategic measures in the future, and the first one is to optimize the industrial mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially the enhancement of software capabilities, the strengthening of investment in advanced technology and weak-related industries and the investment in the smart auto parts industry.

Dai Mingzhe told Sohu Technology that under the ban, the chip industry chain will have a certain impact. However, Huawei’s cloud business will focus on software development in the future, and it is expected that this impact will be mitigated to a certain extent.

Can the cloud business become the next “cash cow”?

The cloud market still has development potential. Gartner data shows that as of 2019, the global cloud computing market reached US$188.3 billion, and it is expected that the market size will reach US$350 billion in 2023. According to the “2020 Cloud Computing Development White Paper” issued by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, China’s cloud computing market is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the next four years.

At the same time, the cloud business has brought huge returns to the top manufacturers. According to the 2020 earnings report, AWS cloud services contributed 11.7% of revenue and 59% of profits for Amazon. According to Microsoft’s financial report, since the Q3 quarter of fiscal year 2020, revenue from the smart cloud business has become Microsoft’s largest source of revenue for three consecutive quarters.

Of course, before the cloud business brought huge returns, it was also a terrible “golden beast”. Only after a huge investment can manufacturers “lie down and make money.” From the official commercial use of Amazon AWS in 2006 to 2015, it took nearly 10 years to turn around. year. Alibaba Cloud was founded in 2009, but it achieved breakeven for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2020, and it took about 11 years from a huge loss to a balance.

Gu Fan, general manager of cloud service product management for AWS Greater China, once said that it took nearly 10 years for AWS to achieve its first $10 billion in revenue from scratch, and it took 23 months for the second $10 billion increase. The third $10 billion increase took 13 months.

Huawei hopes to avoid excessive capital investment and emphasizes the construction of application ecology. Ren Zhengfei pointed out in his internal letter at the end of last year, “We can’t simply take the same path as Ali and Amazon. We don’t have that much money. They have endless amounts of money in the US stock market. How do we develop, we must find a way out. , Rather than simply imitating.”

In China, BAT Internet vendors, three major operators, Huawei Cloud, Kingsoft Cloud and other vendors gathered in the cloud computing track. A cloud computing-related practitioner told Sohu Technology that compared with other vendors, Huawei’s advantages lie in sales capabilities, key customer relationships, hardware coordination capabilities, and a top-to-bottom ecosystem.

Through the growth process of Amazon and Alibaba, we can see that cloud is not a “quick money” business. From its exposure to cloud computing in 2011, to its formal entry into the public cloud in 2017, and to the further improvement of its strategic position today, Huawei has not disclosed the revenue of its cloud business to the public.

It is foreseeable that Huawei Cloud still has a long way to go in the process of increasing software revenue and optimizing the industry mix.

As a leading enterprise in the field of intelligent analysis and decision-making in China, Tongdun Technology is keenly aware that the business needs and technological innovation of enterprises are promoting the deployment of cloud computing, which is gradually evolving from “a cloud” to “multi-cloud” collaboration. This is because the “multi-cloud” scenario has four main advantages: flexibility, nearby response, avoiding single cloud vendor lock-in, and high reliability.

Tongdun Technology believes that when enterprise users build cloud-based resource interconnection scenarios, they must first do well in the operation and maintenance and control of the private cloud computer room within the enterprise; secondly, connect private and public clouds so that enterprises can use their own Like the data center, the business can easily perform flexible resource scheduling; the last is to achieve unified orchestration and management among multiple clouds. It can be seen from this step that building a network interconnection between the cloud and the cloud and the construction of a hybrid cloud platform are the key points.

The person in charge of the cloud native computing department of Tongdun Technology pointed out that at a time when digital transformation has become a “manifest” in all walks of life, although hybrid cloud has already been applied in some areas, many companies are concerned about how to make good use of hybrid cloud. There are still many challenges.

In this regard, the core advantages of “Tongdun Technology kubernetes hybrid cloud platform” can be attributed to: cross-cloud flexibility, image distribution, multi-cloud switching, and security. Up to now, the businesses running on Tongdun kubernetes hybrid cloud mainly include WEB business applications, machine learning applications, blockchain business applications, content security applications, offline computing, etc. The business service targets on the hybrid cloud cover 10,000+ companies, the number of API calls per day exceeds 100 million, and the peak TPS exceeds 100,000.

In addition, Tongdun Technology is currently working to build the TCLOUD Tongdun cloud management product, which uses its own rich and powerful cloud computing platform and technology to help customers reduce costs and increase efficiency, and empower enterprise business innovation and digital transformation and upgrading.

The rented house has hidden safety hazards. Before I found out, the community grid staff had come to help eliminate all hidden safety hazards. Are you particularly envious of such a city?

Nantong, a medium-sized coastal city, took the lead in building China’s first urban governance command center. The command center uses artificial intelligence technology to research and judge through the technical support provided by JD Cloud. When potential violations are foreseen, the command center will unearth specific risks through the group rental smart management and control platform, and activate the “linked command” function to appoint grid personnel Go to the door for targeted services.

The magic of cloud technology has long surpassed people’s existing understanding that cloud disks can be stored in mass. The goal that JD Cloud wants to achieve is one network operation and one network management.

Shanxi Datong, JD Cloud upgraded the traditional 12345 manual hotline to an omnipresent and ubiquitous intelligent hotline. With the help of JD Cloud’s technology, Datong City has been integrated into the government affairs hotline throughout the entire process, allowing the 12345 hotline to “make progress, answer accurately, everything goes well, and everything has an answer.” The most interesting thing is that the smart hotline can understand Datong dialect and judge people’s emotions by their tone and speed of sound, thus changing the tone of voice.

Technology is making cities smarter, and it’s also making cities warmer.

The ancient capital of Xi’an, with the help of JD Cloud technology, has explored the way for the Internet to provide for the elderly. Various sensors in the community conduct real-time self-checking through the Internet of Things. If any link fails, the system will accurately prompt the property staff to intervene. If the elderly need help, they can get all-weather general practitioner videos, housekeeping cleaning within half an hour, and some food delivery services within one hour by just pressing their mobile phones.

We have found that with the empowerment of technologies such as JD Cloud, the city we are in is gradually moving towards a smart and humanized picture. City managers can provide more diversified and more precise services to improve the quality of life of citizens.

It is understood that the meaning of “two skins” generally refers to the separation of two things that originally have a necessary or dependent relationship with each other, and they exist separately. It is often used to compare things that are originally closely related but are separated from each other and are not related. situation.

However, Wei Leping said that the “two skins” of the current status of the cloud and network are mainly reflected in the following four aspects: First, the low efficiency of cloud network service provision, the lack of unified and flexible capability provision and scheduling of cloud network resources, and the slow opening and adjustment of cloud network products and services ; The second is the high development cost of cloud and network services, the independent construction of the cloud and the network, the information is not open to each other, the mutual calling interface is not standard, and it is difficult to form an overall view of the cloud; Management, relying on work orders, poor coordination, low level of data sharing, and difficult end-to-end management; fourth, cloud network security is a big challenge, cloud and network each have many systems, large scale, complex technology, and end-to-end cloud network security assurance The challenge is big.

Wei Leping believes that cloud-network integration will be divided into three stages of development: the first stage is the collaboration phase (2021-2022), the cloud-network infrastructure layer is “connected”, business automation is opened and loaded, and one-stop cloud-network ordering ; The second stage is the integration stage (2023-2027), the logical architecture and common components are converged, resources and capabilities have a “physical response”, cloud network capabilities are issued and dispatched uniformly; the third stage is the integrated stage (2028-2030 Years), breaking the technical boundaries of cloud and network, the physical and logical layers produce “chemical reactions”, cloud network resources and services have become standard parts of the digital platform. Among them, each stage has four dimensions of measurement (resources and data, operation management, business services, capability opening).

“The development principle of cloud-network integration is: the network is the foundation, the cloud is the core, the network moves with the cloud, and the cloud-network is integrated.” Wei Leping said: Cloud-network integration will eventually move towards cloud-network edge-end integration. The goal of cloud-network integration is to fully realize the cloudification of the network, cloud-network integrated operation and maintenance, and process integration. The difference and isolation of the three major resources of computing, storage and network are no longer visible; the ultimate goal of cloud-network integration must be reflected in the user experience To this end, the end-to-end cloud network edge-related resources must be manageable, visible and controllable; the three major resources of bandwidth, storage and computing should also be intelligently, efficiently and reasonably allocated and deployed on the cloud network edge. , To achieve the best end-to-end resource configuration, not just the best configuration between cloud and network. Of course, this evolutionary path is long and may last for more than ten years, but it is also an inevitable development trend.

At the same time, cloud-network integration also requires an open environment. Wei Leping said that the use of open source technology is an important measure to achieve an open environment; to break through manufacturer-specific hardware restrictions, promote competition, and reduce costs; provide a standardized basis for differentiated manufacturer solutions; the huge potential advantages of open source technology include the open source environment Under the circumstances, it is possible to use lightweight containerized open source software. The most popular one is Kubernetes, which can run multiple applications on a single server. Because Kubernetes is decoupled from the underlying infrastructure, it may span DC, core networks, and networks. It is easier to generate and deploy services on the edge, and Kubernetes is conducive to enabling and catalyzing the realization of cloud-native architecture. The goal is to gradually form a multi-vendor open cloud network environment based on open source. C114 Communication Network Li Ming

On April 14, Google technology company launched a new cloud data center in Warsaw, Poland with an investment of nearly 1.7 billion euros ($ 2 billion). This is Google’s first hub of this type in Central and Eastern Europe.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki welcomed the move, affirming that this will ensure better quality of service for public and private facilities, while also helping to increase security as data will be stored at Poland.

Manager Google Cloud in Poland Magdalena Dziewguc expressed hope that Google’s new cloud data center will support the recovery from pandemic COVID-19, as well as to contribute to the growing economy of Poland and its neighbors.

Interim US attorney in Poland Bix Aliu said US companies have invested about $ 60 billion in Poland and Google has increased that figure by nearly $ 2 billion through expanding cloud services.

In 2020, the Polish economy fell into recession for the first time in three decades due to the epidemic crisis. It is forecasted that the economy of this country will recover this year and the Polish Government is promoting the development of the technology sector.

Also last year, Microsoft announced it would invest $ 1 billion to expand operations in Poland, including setting up a new cloud data center in the region.

Google and Microsoft are the leaders in providing services cloud computingfields worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition to charging service fees, operators can collect huge amounts of data and open up many other sources of revenue.
