(For Tsing Qingcloud CEO Huang Yunsong)

Many people misunderstand the Huang Yunsong. After talking with him is usually two judgments, this person is not a madman is a real cow, but in the end is which one, do not know. March 7, 2016, Huang Yunsong's Tsing Qingcloud announced a $100 million C round of financing, so many people think that he is real cow.

the root of the dream of Red mansions

"Good wind with force, send me to the Tsing Yun." "This is the word of Xue Bao in the dream of red mansions."

In January 2006, the Shaanxi People's publishing house published a book called "Who Misunderstood the dream of Red Mansions", the editor's PostScript wrote: "It is moving that Mr. Huang Yunsong Young, self-financed the creation of the Red House art site, five years to attract a lot of love to join, including many decades of academic accumulation, There are more ways to be unique. "The Huang Yunsong mentioned here is now the CEO of Tsing Yun.

Huang Yunsong said that he began reading "A dream of Red mansions" from a freshman, and sophomore began to write code. He can recite the whole "dream of Red Mansions" in the craziest time, even today, more than 20 years later, he can still blurt out the classic sentences in the book. So why does Huang Yunsong like the dream of red mansions so much? "Elegance, and the elegance of the system." Huang Yunsong is a critic of the dream of Red mansions.

One is the "dream of Red mansions" the whole structure and text of "systematic elegance", one is written "Red Mansions" Cao Xueqin in poverty and poverty still insisted on the creation of "a dream of red mansions" thus creating a great social value. These two points are the fundamental starting point for Huang Yunsong to cloud computing, and a fundamental idea to support his start-up from the early days of his startup to the $100 million C-round financing and the planned 2017-2018 IPO.

first in the Qing Yun Zhi

Huang Yunsong believes that cloud computing is a social project, which is his ideal.

Cloud computing is not only the integration of it and CT communication technology, the key is that cloud computing has broken the traditional it and CT manufacturers have great benefits, it is this huge benefit for users to bring high cost and technical complexity, more crucial is to prevent the technology to the society's rapid and cheap proliferation.

There is no doubt that cloud computing has drastically reduced the threshold and cost of using and leveraging new technologies in society, and when everyone sees the enormous social value that cloud computing can generate, few vendors have the ability to actually implement and deliver cloud computing, so Huang Yunsong. In 2012 he left IBM, who worked for 10 years, and with two other small partners, created the Qingyun Qingcloud.

"When it comes to saving money, it's two strokes: buying fewer machines is not hiring. It was almost as poor as to move the office to the street. "In the 3 months before the B-round, Tsing-yun just launched the official business Edition, which was July 2013." "At that time, three people, Oasis, Linyuan and I, after many failures, finally made the Tsing Yun." "However, that was only the beginning.

So far, Huang Yunsong still believes that cloud computing is a lucrative and unprofitable business. On the one hand, Amazon AWS sets a precedent and, on the other hand, reduces the threshold and cost of cloud computing to create greater social value. Huang Yunsong said his top priority for 2016 years was to bring the price of the public cloud to the lowest level in the country, ultimately benefiting the whole society.

To some extent, Huang Yunsong inherited the "Tsing Yun" Zhi of Cao Xueqin.

The Cloud Society of machine Autonomy

"A dream of Red mansions" is a society, a self-balanced, self-governing society, although there are "parents" but more often the community to negotiate the resolution of the conflict. Huang Yunsong's Cloud society is also a highly autonomous society, and it is a highly autonomous community of machines.

It is well known that cloud computing is first and foremost a machine society of tens or millions of servers, and if people manage such a machine society by hand, the end result is a straight rise in human costs. Can not say Huang Yunsong the "dream of Red Mansions" in the community autonomy concept into the machine composition of the world, but his "peer Robot community collaboration" may be said to be "a dream of red mansions" community autonomy portrayal.

The so-called "peer-to", is the data center servers are equal status, which one downtime, there will be another automatic takeover. Of course, the word "robot" here is not a physical robot, but a piece of code. By establishing a rule base and a smart engine, the Management Server's code can abide by the common Community rules, but also can elect the "regional leader", "group leader" and so on through the voting mechanism, and so on, a "leader" is down, and can automatically elect the new "leader".

"None of the engineers in our data center. Last year, a computer room was hacked, and immediately resumed operation. For this reason, the code is more reliable than artificial. "This peer robot community collaboration is also Huang Yunsong and several partners, and after nearly 8 years of time, step by step to evolve to the present system, but Huang Yunsong still think:" This is just beginning, MI (machine Intelligence) is the future. ”

Of course, the "peer-robot community collaboration" is not Huang Yunsong's whim. This concept and related principles have been put forward in the academic literature published by the Institute of Engineering in Google early. One of the focuses of Huang Yunsong's research in IBM Labs is the "high-scale low touch (HSLT)" computing system, which means mass, less artificial contact.

Systematic Elegance

There is no denying that the dream of red Mansions is very exquisite and elegant, which is embodied not only in the diction but also in the systematic design of the whole plot and clue.

The design of Huang Yunsong "Qingyun" must first be very elegant. Despite completing the $2 million a round of financing in 2012 and the completion of the $20 million B-round financing in November 2013, in order to give its own data center reserve B IP Address resources (for medium-sized networks), he shot 4 million yuan to buy two B-segment resources in 2014 years, There were only less than 10 million dollars left on the account. These IP resources are used in the BGP backbone that is to be built today.

The BGP backbone allows Huang Yunsong to master its own network resources. In January, the Beijing 3 District is the first node of the Qingyun backbone network, which is composed of three independent data centers, and the multi-loop BGP link can realize the high availability functions of dual live or multi-live, offsite backup and disaster tolerance, and get rid of the reliance on network operators. In the next two years, Qingyun will continue to push forward and complete its own backbone network, with flexible access to more telecom operators.

BGP backbone is only a "systematic elegance" of the link, July 2015 Qingyun released the ultra-integrated hardware products. As a public cloud service provider, but the introduction of hardware and software integrated machine products, which is more or less surprising. The design of the exquisite Qingyun ultra-integration Machine pre-integrates the Qingcloud virtualization platform, Cloud Platform management software, SDN network and distributed storage, support a variety of automated management, can reduce the cloud platform online cycle from several months to several days, and can be flexibly expanded on demand.

In addition to selling private cloud projects to businesses and quickly withdrawing funds, Qingyun is the largest user of hyper-converged machines. Qingyun super-integration machine is the basic component of the data center of Qingyun, it makes Huang Yunsong's "elegance" thought to be detailed inside the hardware. Combining the "peer-robot community collaboration" and the BGP backbone under construction, this will make the infrastructure of Qingyun "systematic elegance".

the future with small broad

Qingyun has made rapid progress in the past two years and is currently providing services to more than 45,000 enterprises, including China Merchants Bank, Bank of China, Taikang Life, Shun Fung Group, Soho Chinese, Electrolux, Huarun million, Yonghui supermarket and other traditional enterprises, including 91 finance, I come to loan, melt cloud, Spring rain doctor, Micro-Roar live, MO Mo and other Internet users.

However, cloud computing is a world big enough to exceed any player volume, and no one in the cloud world can monopolize the market. Despite the $100 million in C-round financing, it would be a drop in the bucket to pry even a regional market in China. Therefore, the next Tsing Yun to expand the ecological circle, with small broad drive the entire cloud computing industry rapid development.

In addition to public cloud services, Qingyun also has a complete enterprise-class solution, including intelligent cloud management platform, desktop cloud Platform, big data platform, object storage platform, hyper-integration equipment, cloud computing solution consulting and project implementation. After the completion of the layout of the product, 2016, the rapid expansion of the partner circle. Through the "Qingcloud X" Partner Program, Qingyun recruits six types of partners, including basic resources, solutions, industries, channels, application centers, and cloud services.

One of the most important support for partners is the "Thousand Experts Program", which is to nurture thousands of qingcloud technical experts within a year, officially certify salespeople and architects, and partner with partners to create technology/program Innovation Labs. Through the "thousand people expert" vitalize, with small broad, Tsing Yun also plans to go public in 2017-2018, financing another trip.

"China Cloud market, three years to see." I referred to 2015 as the year of Business for cloud computing, and 2016 was the second, followed by no third year! " 2016 is also a key year for Huang Yunsong, less misunderstood, more understanding, or will really send Tsing "on the Tsing Yi". (Wen/Ningchuang, this article first itvalue)
