泰坦陨落Xbox LIVE云计算解析

What is the Cloud?Amazon has a cloud that powers websites. Sony has a cloud that streams game video so you can play a game that you don’t have on your machine. Now Xbox Live has a cloud that somehow powers games. Cloud doesn’t seem to actually mean anything anymore, or it has so many meanings that it’s useless as a marketing word.Let me explain this simply: when companies talk about their cloud, all they are saying is that they have a huge amount of servers ready to run whatever you need them to run. That’s all.

什么是云？亚马逊拥有一个云来支持网站运行。骚尼有一个云来处理游戏视频流，所以你可以玩游戏但是你不用坐在你的机器旁。现在XBOX Live游泳一个云来支持游戏的运行。云看上去没有什么更多的意义，或者它有了太多的含义而变得没什么用就像很多的商业词汇一样。

So what is this Xbox Live Cloud stuff then?Microsoft has a cloud service called Azure (it’s a real thing – you can go on their website right now and pay for servers and use them to run whatever you want). Microsoft realized that they could use that technology to solve our problem.
