I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 21
To promote the Ark One web, Noah’s Ark will hold a huge product launch conference on 1 September !
Although Noah’s Ark is not well-known, the two holding companies behind him are famous in Silicon Valley! ! !
The invitation from Nicholas Group and Cisco to the big innovative high-tech company in Silicon Valley is no joke! The Netscape browser, the IMDB website, the Nicholas website, the official Cisco website also promote the upcoming Noah’s Ark product launch conference! ! !
“Noah’s Ark is here, did you buy a ticket on your website?”
Bombing the entire network, almost every internet user will see this sentence.
Although Noah’s Ark product launch conference had not yet been held, it had caused strong curiosity!
Many newspapers and media started reporting this!
Company CEO Bob Gallagher is full of confidence. He said that Noah’s Ark would definitely soar this time!
It didn’t take long to arrive on December 1, and many people came to the launch of Noah’s Ark, among them, even IBM, Apple, and Microsoft sent representatives of their respective companies to come!
At the stage stand, the lights shined. There is a red carpet on the ground and a projection cloth on the background wall. Web Ark One was placed in the middle position, but is now blocked by a red cloth.
The time for the press conference was almost here, Bob Gallagher put on a neat suit and went onstage with confidence!
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to participate in the launch of our Noah’s Ark product!” Bob Gallagher spoke to hundreds of people audiences, “Even though I am handsome, there are still many people who do not know me, therefore, so that everyone knows me, this handsome man, I will introduce myself first. Ahem … My name is Bob Gallagher and I are not married … So, if there are beautiful women who like me, please remember to contact me privately. Oh okay! Okay, this is just a joke for everyone !!! ”
Bob Gallagher humorously, then walked to the center of the stage stand, put his right hand on the red cloth, and said, “Do you want to see this thing on the stage? Are you very curious?”
Bob Gallagher did not immediately reveal the red cloth, and instead said: “I believe everyone has read on the Internet, ‘Noah’s Ark is here, did you buy tickets on your website?” This sentence! That’s right, we are, The Noah’s Ark product launch is linked to the website. As we all know, you need a computer with exceptional performance to open a website. However, today’s supercomputers are too expensive, and ordinary computers can easily cause websites to crash. So, we, Noah’s Ark, specialize in research and development. A product to solve this problem for the company website! ”
“Now, it’s time to uncover this mysterious object!” After Bob Gallagher finished speaking, he immediately raised the red cloth, opening the Ark One Web.
First of all, everyone feels that this object is very similar to a computer, except that it’s a little bigger than an ordinary computer.
“This is called a web server. This is a special computer designed and presented for the web. Compared to ordinary computers, it has more processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, and management. Its aspects must be many times stronger! that, you don’t need to worry about websites breaking down easily. This computer was born for websites !!! ”
Later, Bob Gallaher explained and demonstrated.
Many people in the audience have built websites, and some of them often crash. The advent of web servers is undoubtedly a gift for them.
In general, they need to use supercomputers to build websites, otherwise traffic will be congested and websites will be delayed. But supercomputers are expensive, and ordinary companies can’t afford them! Supercomputers can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per computer, this is considered cheap, if expensive, there are millions of dollars.
“Someone might ask now, how much is your web server? Hehe, I can tell you that it is much cheaper than the supercomputer you are using now! Well, I don’t want to reduce your appetite, it costs only one hundred thousand dollars! You hear it correctly , only one hundred thousand dollars !!! For one hundred thousand dollars, you can have a web server that is comparable to a supercomputer! So, if you need to build a website, please buy a web server !!! ”
“In addition, our company will also establish a server hosting department to provide hosting services for the main website, that is, you can spend money to rent our web server. And the hosting costs are not expensive, just pay 2500 US dollars for one month!”
Finally, Bob yells “Noah’s Ark is here, please buy a ticket on the website” and ends the product launch.
After the conference, three companies each ordered the Ark 1. web. Five other companies applied for guard services. In the following month, people called the company every day to ask about the situation. Although not many web servers are sold, there are many websites that submit hosting, totaling more than 20.
As of November 31, 1987, the number of global websites exceeded 10,000!
According to domain name management company statistics, the number of domain names being applied now exceeds 10,000, and the number of websites will soon reach 10,000! Even if only one fifth of the website is hosted by Noah’s Ark, Noah’s Ark can make a lot of money!
In general, those who buy servers are companies with money, but those who don’t have more money. In the internet world, 20% of companies buy their own servers, and 80% of companies find specialized hosting agents. Because of this, the hosting market is still huge! Only selling servers, Noah’s Ark might not make a lot of money in the early stages. Even though the custodian business does not have a lot of money, this business is long-lasting and can make money continuously.
To make Noah’s Ark grow faster, Nicholas Group and Cisco are financing a second round of that, jointly investing $ 10 million US. Noah’s Ark plans to build more than a dozen substations in the United States, and each substation will build a trusteeship database. Ten web servers are placed in each hosting library. For websites with poor traffic, one web server is enough to handle eight or nine. But limited by network transmission speed, the best hosting library to accommodate less than 50 websites. If there is more, the server will be fine, but the network might be blocked, and the website will be delayed to death!
However, given that the National Science Foundation Network has begun to accelerate, it will take less than a year or two for the network speed to increase dramatically! At that time, Noah’s Ark would have ushered in the development of the explosion.
After Noah’s Ark was developed, Henry felt that cloud storage, cloud computing, and big data could lead. Being involved in hosting is now the equivalent of having someone else’s data. Although stealing information is unethical, there is no morality in business. It’s also the helplessness of some small companies …
In addition, because web servers have been developed, servers with other functions can also be developed. Large companies like IBM have developed supercomputers, let alone servers. In a previous life, the IBM server was amazing! Noah’s Ark experienced a time difference, using IBM that had not yet entered the server industry, Noah’s Ark rushed to seize the market, and tried to become the best server company in the world!
