Century interconnection Li Zhijian: A Study of cloud computing value chain model

"The value chain of cloud services is divided into four big chunks 1, the design and combination of services, 2, deployment of services, 3, delivery of services, 4, operation and maintenance updates," said Dr Li Zhijian, chief expert in the Ministry of Technology Strategy and government affairs, in a recent media interview. Data from IDC, the US market research firm, showed that China's cloud computing services market had reached $320 million trillion in 2010, with a combined growth rate of nearly 40% per cent in the future, which would be more than $1 billion trillion by 2014. Major IT vendors are bullish on the Chinese market, including professional cloud service providers such as Saleforce, cloud providers such as Equinix from IDC, and solution providers such as IBM, which also provide cloud services. For the unprecedented prosperity of China's local cloud computing services, Century interconnection Dr. Li Zhijian put forward his own insights, support services have three soft and hard platform cloud, tube, end, while the value chain of services can be divided into four large pieces of service design and combination, service deployment, service delivery and operation of the maintenance of the update and service experience. These two dimensions together form the model of the cloud computing value chain. "This industry will be very big, how to cut to think good." For manufacturers to think about how they want to position themselves, that is, your DNA and advantages. "Li Zhijian Bosch talks about how companies are breaking through the market. Enterprises to participate in cloud computing 6 kinds of market positioning: 1, cloud, tube, or end of the core technology to master cloud, tube, end of the core technology, such as Google, there are "cloud" (search, mail, Office, map, application engine googleappsengine, etc.) and "end" (Operating system Android, Browser Chrome), is currently through the satellite, cable, fiber to the user, WiFi hotspots and other channels to break through the "tube" platform. In addition to the traditional it core technology operating systems, database, middleware, office software, there are a variety of virtualization technology (server, terminal, application, network, storage), distributed document technology, Cloud interoperability technology (cloud community, workload migration, cloud service Bus, Cloud Resource directory), supporting information security technology, Green, Energy-saving technology. 2. Innovative applications have the ability to develop innovative applications and gain access to users and markets, such as Saleforce dedicated to PAAs and SaaS. 3, bandwidth advantages such as telecommunications operators, large neutral operators, a large number of bandwidth resources to master the information channel between the cloud. At home, this advantage is even more pronounced. 4, energy cost advantages such as Microsoft in the U.S. National Network crossroads in Chicago to deploy the data center, while the local only 3 months is hot weather. Domestic local Government policy support as the main favorable conditions, such as the Century Interconnection in Ordos (600295, shares bar) The construction of the Super Cloud Computing data center, local average temperature below 3 degrees Celsius, Electricity price is less than 0.3 yuan, at the same time is located in the western radiation of the core economic center, both occupy geographical advantages, but also in the energy costs of a breakthrough. 5, the local market relative to the global market, China's cloud computing pattern is moreFor the complex, this is already recognized by the industry as a fact. At present, there is no foreign cloud service manufacturers can easily access China's huge cloud services market, which not only for the local cloud service vendors to provide growth time, but also provide enough room for growth. 6, Offshore outsourcing Ministry of Commerce figures show that China's total import and export services in 2006-2010 from 191.7 billion U.S. dollars to 362.4 billion U.S. dollars, the world accounted for from 3.6% growth in 2006 to 2010 5.1%, the World ranking service exports from 2006 eighth to 2010 fourth , exports of services have risen by more than 16.8% a year, including China's cloud services. Companies with the ability to provide offshore outsourcing will also have the opportunity to occupy one side of the world. "A manufacturer with at least one core advantage is likely to win." The key is differentiated development, find the position in the service value chain. Dr. Li Zhijian concludes. Through the above research on the value chain model of cloud computing, we can see that it vendors should not blindly participate in cloud competition, but should find its own suitable resources for the development of cloud computing, accurate positioning, focus on development, thus occupy a place in the whole industry chain.
