Big Data revolution, just beginning

The arrival of the big data age, let "data namely assets" become a new global trend, the national competition focus is shifting from the scramble for capital, land, population, resources/energy to the contention for large data, the large data subversive change global strategic pattern, international security situation, state governance structure and resource allocation mode, caused great economic change. For China, "overtaking" will be realized only when large data is raised as a major national development strategy, and the level of modernization of national governance system and governance ability is upgraded.

The strategic significance of large data technology is not in mastering large data information, but in specialized processing of these meaningful data. In other words, if the big data is compared to an industry, then the key to profitability is to improve the "processing capacity" of the data, "processing" to achieve the "value-added" of the data.

Global data are showing an alarming growth trend. According to IBM estimates, the amount of information that humans create from the history of the 2003 is 5EB, and by 2011 humans can produce 5EB of information every two days. ID C believes that the reduction in cost of data, the increase in investment size and the growth of data storage capabilities ultimately lead to global data growth consistent with "big data Moore's Law", that is, global data volumes are doubling about every two years. It is expected that by 2020, the amount of data needed to be managed globally will reach 35ZB, 29 times times that of 2010.

From China's situation, with the popularization of information and application level, finance, transportation, telecommunications and other key industries and health care, social security, customs and other important areas have realized or gradually achieved a large number of large-scale business data concentration. China has the world's first population, internet users and mobile internet users, large data prospects, is one of the world's most important large data market, has become a veritable "world Data center." According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Information Research Institute of Electronic Research, 2011 China Telecom, finance, medical care, culture and other national important basic data amount of about 900PB. China Mobile's Internet traffic has increased 10 times times in the past 18 months, accounting for 10% of the world's Internet traffic, with Taobao trading up to tens of millions of a day, with more than 50TB per cent of its daily output and more than 40PB of storage, and a daily processing of 6 billion search requests, up to dozens of Pb, Daily new data 10TB; Shanghai Stock Exchange processing nearly 90,000 transactions per second, daily turnover of more than 300 million; China Unicom users online records up to 830,000 per second, that is, 1 trillion per month, the corresponding amount of data per month 300TB.

However, compared with the leading countries, China still faces many strategic risks and challenges to hinder the application of large data at the National governance level:

First, the lack of a relatively clear large data strategy top-level design, large data as a strategic resource status has not yet highlighted as the basic assets, as well as the national/national wealth of the important status has not been highlighted, especially with the adaptation of production relations, institutional arrangements are still in the blank.

The second is the fragmentation of institutional barriers and "islands of Information", which hinders the openness and sharing of data in national governance. The big data in the fence is destined to be dead data. At present, China's financial credit information base database has 18.596 million enterprises and other organizations and 820 million natural persons to establish a credit file, but these data third-party institutions are difficult to obtain. For a long time, because of the restriction of fragmented management system, the information network between government departments at all levels is often self-contained and fragmented, and the data is difficult to realize sharing, which results in the fragmented, idle and dormant state of the government's large data. At the same time, because of the "departmental" of the development and construction of the government department's Business Management Information System, the Government information system appears "the system is bristling" and the split state, the Public Information resources duplicate collection phenomenon is serious.

The third is that the traditional governance thinking and governance system are obviously not adapted to the data age, and the consciousness of managing the state is lagging behind. In the world, large data is reconstructing the relationship between government, market and society, so that the state governance structure is shifted from the national governance structure to the pluralistic common governance, however, many government departments in our country have not realized the revolutionary influence of using large data to transform traditional government governance and government process reengineering.

Four is the lag of the rule of law construction, the maintenance of "data sovereignty", data assets of the legal standard framework is seriously missing, the lack of effective large data thinking and legal framework.

Five is the global Big Data strategy game escalation, our country faces the big data security and the data defense risk. At present, with the large data revolution, the United States and other developed countries to upgrade global data monitoring capabilities, resulting in China's data security and data defense risk increased. According to the "Prism Gate" incident information disclosed, the United States government and large data companies closely formed a "United States Data Intelligence Consortium" to jointly monitor the global data space for the overall monitoring and analysis, building "data hegemony." The "Eight Great Kong" in the United States has almost infiltrated the Chinese government, customs, postal services, finance, railways, civil aviation and other fields, to the national governance has brought about serious data security risks.

The Big data revolution is just beginning, a revolution involving a profound change in interest. The author suggests breaking the "fragmentation" pattern as soon as possible, planning "large data governance" medium and long term Roadmap and implementation of the key, target, path, overall layout, speed up the development of large data core technology development, promote open, sharing and security related legislation and standards, the establishment of large data industry market-oriented resource allocation model, and " The system of interconnection, sharing and mutual treatment "truly seizes the strategic opportunity period of the new global science and technology revolution and the Industrial Revolution, and reconstructs the national comprehensive competitive advantage."
