As mentioned above, I attended Google’s cloud conference in London to learn more about its groundbreaking cloud technology developments. In the future, Google will vigorously develop virtual server technology and hope to occupy a larger cloud service market.
Google’s four major services: cloud storage service, computing engine, engine for developing and running applications, BigQuery for data analysis, and machine learning tools have attracted the attention of many tech and creative companies because they can support the needs of different businesses and save costs.
The popular Pokemon Go is one example of a service that has benefited from this service. It can accommodate a large number of players online at the same time, thanks to Google’s virtual servers. After the launch of Pokemon Go, its virtual reality fun and strong social potential attracted a large number of players to download it, which surprised the developers. The original server was originally unable to cope with the influx of players, but fortunately, Google quickly set up a virtual server, which eventually turned the crisis into an opportunity and helped Nintendo turn it around.
In addition, Snapchat also signed a $2 billion contract with Google this year, becoming the largest customer of the cloud platform. Snapchat has a good chance to use Google’s tailor-made App Engine to enjoy the tools and services of its software, and effectively respond to different traffic changes, which greatly increases Snapchat’s competitiveness.
In the past, entrepreneurship often required huge amounts of capital and expertise, which discouraged many young people in Hong Kong from starting their own businesses, but now innovation and technology have broken through the inherent limitations. The founder of Snapchat is a successful example of how he has the innovative ideas, technology, market acumen and knowledge to get out of the way even without a lot of money. Young people who are interested in starting a business should learn more about global technological developments and actively seek changes in order to break through.
