Times are changing so fast that in the blink of an eye PCs may be history!
When you are still lamenting that the laptops in the hands of technological progress are becoming thinner and lighter, you must not think that in the near future, these seemingly exquisite, high-end computers in your hands will be eliminated.
Just at the Alibaba Yunqi Conference, the "shadowless cloud computer" has appeared, and a new era is coming.
Just listening to the name "No Shadow" does you feel full of technology and domineering, but after you really understand its performance, you know that its name is not a waste.
Unlike traditional PCs, "shadowless cloud computers" have no host, no hard disks, and no CPUs, but use cloud computing technology to put these hardware for computing on the cloud.
In simple terms, it is to calculate all the previous motherboards, CPUs, graphics cards and other hardware on the cloud, and then directly return the results to your terminal!
You must have seen in many sci-fi blockbusters, where protagonists can use a computer just by opening their watches and projecting a desktop in front of them.
Whether it's working, playing games, or watching movies, you just need a screen-sticking device and you can use your computer anytime, anywhere!
Doesn't it look cool?

Compared with traditional PC computers, the subversiveness of cloud computers is really too strong!
First of all, it's portable!
The emergence of cloud computers has got rid of the limitations of traditional PCs, making computers a small object that can be carried anytime, anywhere.
Some people will ask, today's laptops are also very thin and portable, why do you need cloud computers?
I have to admit that the current laptop is indeed more and more advanced and the performance is getting better and better, but even the smallest laptop also needs at least a computer bag to carry, which still causes a great burden when traveling.
But the cloud computer is not the same, although the cloud computer has not yet been as the beginning of the article, can already be attached to the watch and other items, but it is much smaller and more portable than any laptop on the market now.
For example, this "shadowless cloud computer" launched by Ali, its entire terminal is only the size of a hard disk, and you can even put it in your pants pocket!
Secondly, the performance of cloud computers is too strong!
Don't look at the "shadowless cloud computer" is only the size of a hard disk, but its performance is completely beyond your imagination, because its performance is not at all the same as that of traditional PCs. Traditional PC performance can only rely on its own configuration, but cloud computers can expand their own performance, just like the performance of using multiple computers at the same time.
For example, the "shadowless cloud computer" can expand the computing power in the cloud at any time, and it is reported that at the cloud summit, it was disclosed that the maximum computing power of the single customer of the "shadowless cloud computer" reached 210,000 core CPU! It's hard to imagine how fast a computer can run with such performance, after all, it is difficult for any PC on the market to achieve this performance!
When computers have such performance, many of the impossible things that were once possible have become possible. For example, at the beginning of this year, a New Year film called "Assassination of a Novelist" was released in China, and I believe most people have seen it.
This film is called the film of China's special effects ceiling, and the special effects shot has reached more than 1800! It is worth mentioning that more than 1500 of these 1800 special effects shots are completed using a "shadowless cloud computer".
In general, the most expensive computer resources in the post-special effects of movies are material production and special effects rendering. Among them, especially special effects rendering, not only requires extremely high-performance computer support, but also has to wait for a long time to complete the whole process. However, with the "shadowless cloud computer", thousands of servers in the cloud can be mobilized to calculate the rendering in batches, which greatly saves the progress and time of movie rendering.
In this regard, even the film's post-production team said that without the innovative technical support of "No Shadow", the special effects production of this film would increase by at least half a year to a year!
It can be seen that the emergence of cloud computers in the future is bound to provide computing power support for more industries, so that more industries can enjoy the qualitative changes in work efficiency brought about by the technology of the times.

Cloud computer, the future trend of the computer industry!
Turing Prize winner David Patterson once said, "The only way to continue to use Moore's Law to improve computer performance is to build parallel computers." ”
And it's clear that a cloud computer is a form of parallel computing. As mentioned above, the cloud computer can use multiple computer devices in different places to participate in the computing power in parallel, provide the maximum computing power support for the computer, and maximize the operation of the entire computing power resources.
It is worth mentioning that with the continuous upgrading and iteration of many technologies including 5G, Wi-Fi 6 networks, AI and so on, the running performance and overall computing power of future cloud computers are bound to be infinitely expanded, continuously promoting the improvement of social productivity and making the use of computing resources more efficient.
Having said that, I am sure that many people think that the price of a subversive product like the "Shadowless Cloud Computer" must be difficult for ordinary people to accept, and if you think like this, you are very wrong!
The cost of "shadowless cloud computer" is not only inexpensive, but even the cost is lower than that of traditional PCs. In this regard, at the Yunqi Conference, Ali said that under the same performance, the price of Alibaba Cloud computers is half of that of traditional PCs!
In addition to the cost performance, in terms of security, the "shadowless cloud computer" is definitely one of the most secure "cloud computers" at present. It is reported that the "shadowless cloud computer" not only has multiple copy storage, automatic backup, virus cloud killing, anti-ransomware and other capabilities, at the same time, customers can flexibly set multiple security policies, DLP, network behavior control, can fully protect your data from leakage.
Therefore, it is certain that with the continuous advancement and popularization of technology, cloud computers are bound to replace traditional PCs and become mainstream in the future.
A new era has quietly arrived, and fortunately, we stand at the singularity of the technology industry, in the center of the whirlpool of change, and have become witnesses and witnesses!
