The Network Is The Computer

London is now the town of Cisco in San Jose, California is owned by the city's Convention Centre Excel.

On the evening of Monday, the company has recently appointed Director of Technology and Cloud Computing, Valley veteran Lew Tucker hosted a dinner attended by President and CEO John Chamber of Commerce Keynote Presentation on Tuesday.

Mr. Tucker was wise to take on Cisco, which is one of the companies, which show that the old adage that when the gold rush, sell shovels. Cisco makes the routers, probably one of the less glamorous aspects of the Internet, you can imagine. Not that they are the mind and the market value of about 117 billion dollars.

Mr. Tucker, a former director of cloud computing, Sun Microsystems, until he purchased the Oracle, and has a long career in time for Salesforce and Thinking Machines, he predicted a world of clouds, which companies use special offer vertical expertise or responsibility and control, medical services and banking, for example. Or maybe the clouds geographical constructed in accordance with local regulations (such as information requirements in the EU, for example).

next wave of computing has three key aspects. It is characterized by ubiquitous mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. They speak with cloud data and applications running on powerful servers. But linking the two, and the glue that holds them together, "said Tucker, is the network itself.

He predicted a more rational way of various network protocols and access to a set of APIs (Application Program Interface), you are essentially turning online forum, and not just a tool that allows applications and data transfer.

Perhaps, finally, a somewhat enigmatic slogan allegedly coined by his former colleague, vice president of Sun Microsystems John Gage again in late 1990, "The Network Is The Computer" can actually be observed. Not that anyone really understood what it meant at that time.
