However, one skilled in the art should understand that the method described in the exemplary embodiments is also applicable to point valuation for another company and resource allocation in a cloud service system.

[0085] S301: Obtain a value of a growth parameter of the reward point of company A in this embodiment as 0.3313.

[0086] S400: The computing device obtains data related to goods redeemed by using the reward point of the issue institution, where a data obtaining manner includes, but is not limited to, calling related information from the server of the issue institution or extracting related information from the network.

[0089] S403: The computing device obtains a Beta coefficient .sup. of the reward point issue institution and/or a competition average Beta coefficient .sub.c .sub.c of the institution based on the Markowitz portfolio theory and the capital asset pricing model.

[0090] S404: The computing device rates a goods liquidity of the reward point redemption mall, where goods having the best liquidity is assigned 1, and goods having the poorest liquidity is assigned 0; and after calculating an average goods liquidity, obtains a liquidity parameter L of the goods redeemed by using the reward point, where L ranges between 0 and 1.

[0091] In this embodiment, the foregoing parameters are shown in Table 2.

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Point static indicator of company A Value Remark P.sub.r 0.5 Average goods value P.sub.b 1.1 Average account value 2.1 Beta coefficient .sub.c 1.8 Competitors average Beta coefficient L 0.6 Goods liquidity

[0092] S501: Obtain a static parameter of the reward point as 0.2338.

[0093] S601: The computing device assigns, based on an operation status of the issue institution, a first weighting coefficient a to the growth parameter, assigns a second weighting coefficient b to the static parameter, and add a product of the growth parameter and the first weighting coefficient to a product of the static parameter and the second weighting coefficient, to obtain a valuation coefficient. In this embodiment, 0.8 and 0.2 are respectively assigned.

[0094] S602: Obtain the valuation coefficient of the reward point as 0.3118 in this embodiment.

[0095] S701: The computing device obtains a point value based on the valuation coefficient, a ratio of a remaining validity period of the reward point to a total validity period, and the average book price of the reward point.

[0096] S702: The computer obtains the data and models listed in S205 to S701, and the application block chain public key encryption and algorithm encryption module encrypts the data, to ensure the computer security and data security.

[0097] In this embodiment, a point validity period T is 365 days, a current point validity period D is 237 days, and the reward point value is 0.2227 yuan/point. Then, the reward point value is compared with a price in an intelligent analysis module.

[0098] Computer allocated resource information is analyzed through analysis such as comparison with a related historical status. For example, when an evaluated price is higher than an actual price by 0.1 yuan, a CPU calculation resource of 1 GHz needs to be increased.

[0099] In this embodiment, a current value of the reward point is 0.2 yuan/point. The current value is lower than the evaluated value, a possibility that a point service volume suddenly increases exists, and computer resource allocation needs to be increased.

[0100] A resource allocation requirement is sent to a resource allocating module.

[0101] At last, a computer resource in a resource pool is intelligently selected for configuration by using a resource allocating management module.

[0102] The resource pool mainly includes a virtual computing resource pool, a virtual network resource pool, and a virtual storage resource pool. The virtual computing resource pool is formed by one or more physical hosts (21-2n) by using a virtualization technology, and mainly includes resources such as a CPU and a memory. The virtual network resource pool is formed by various network devices such as a router, a switch, a firewall, a load balancer by using the virtualization technology, and mainly includes resources such as network bandwidth. The storage resource pool is formed by various storage devices by using the virtualization technology, and mainly includes resources such as a storage capacity and storage I/O. The storage device may be a local storage, an IPSAN, a network attached storage (NAS), an object-based storage, and the like. The resource pool includes several hosts. A plurality of VMs is carried in the hosts and allocates virtual resources to the hosts. Hosts that can perform mutual VM migration form a migration domain. VMs on one host share a computing resource (the CPU, the memory, or the like), a storage resource (the local storage or the storage I/O), and a network resource (network I/O). When a host cannot satisfy a resource required by a VM carried in the host, the QoS of the VM decreases, and VM migration needs to be performed to ensure the QoS of the VM.

[0103] If the resource is saturated, the module gives an alarm to prompt for human intervention.

[00004]$R_{\mathrm{apv}}=\underset{t=1}{\overset{n}{.Math.}}.Math.\frac{R_{\mathrm{at}}}{{\left(1+r\right)}^t},\mathrm{and}.Math..Math.O_{\mathrm{pv}}=\underset{t=1}{\overset{n}{.Math.}}.Math.\frac{O_t}{{\left(1+r\right)}^t}.$

[0122] S601: The computing device assigns, based on an operation status of the issue institution, a first weighting coefficient a to the growth parameter, assigns a second weighting coefficient b to the static parameter, and add a product of the growth parameter and the first weighting coefficient to a product of the static parameter and the second weighting coefficient, to obtain a valuation coefficient. In this embodiment, 0.8 and 0.2 are respectively assigned.

[0123] S602: Obtain the valuation coefficient of the reward point as 0.619 in this embodiment.

[0124] S701: The computing device obtains a point value based on the valuation coefficient, a ratio of a remaining validity period of the reward point to a total validity period, and the average book price of the reward point.

[0125] In this embodiment, a point validity period T is 365 days, a current point validity period D is 153 days, and the reward point value is 0.3113 yuan/point.

[0126] Then, the reward point value is compared with a price in an intelligent analysis module.

[0127] Computer allocated resource information is analyzed through analysis such as comparison with a related historical status. For example, when an evaluated price is higher than an actual price by 0.1 yuan, a CPU calculation resource of 1 GHz needs to be increased.

[0128] In this embodiment, a current value of the reward point is 0.7 yuan/point. The current value is higher than the evaluated value, a possibility that a point service volume suddenly decreases exists, and computer resource allocation needs to be decreased.

[0129] A resource allocation requirement is sent to the resource allocating module.

[0130] At last, a computer resource in a resource pool is intelligently selected for configuration by using a resource allocating management module.

[0131] The resource pool mainly includes a virtual computing resource pool, a virtual network resource pool, and a virtual storage resource pool. The virtual computing resource pool is formed by one or more physical hosts (21-2n) by using a virtualization technology, and mainly includes resources such as a CPU and a memory. The virtual network resource pool is formed by various network devices such as a router, a switch, a firewall, a load balancer by using the virtualization technology, and mainly includes resources such as network bandwidth. The storage resource pool is formed by various storage devices by using the virtualization technology, and mainly includes resources such as a storage capacity and storage I/O. The storage device may be a local storage, an IPSAN, a network attached storage (NAS), an object-based storage, and the like. The resource pool includes several hosts. A plurality of VMs is carried in the hosts and allocates virtual resources to the hosts. Hosts that can perform mutual VM migration form a migration domain. VMs on one host share a computing resource (the CPU, the memory, or the like), a storage resource (the local storage or the storage I/O), and a network resource (network I/O). When a host cannot satisfy a resource required by a VM carried in the host, the QoS of the VM decreases, and VM migration needs to be performed to ensure the QoS of the VM.

[0132] If the resource is saturated, the module gives an alarm to prompt for human intervention.
