Cloud computing in China falls to the ground

For the cloud computing industry, 2011 is the most significant year, but also more mature cloud computing technology year. In the Chinese market, cloud computing is no longer just a vague concept in the industry, but a product of "blossom and blossom" which has unwittingly entered our daily work and life.

New applications of cloud computing frequently

The so-called cloud computing, is a new era in the Internet, the PC and all terminal devices in the data and computing power are stored in the "cloud" side of an information technology is a new data center. As a technology trend in the future, cloud computing spans across various fields such as IT and the Internet, creating an entire industrial chain and providing users with a brand new way of information production, consumption and service. With the cloud computing continues to heat up, in 2011 all domestic industries are trying to seize the cloud opportunities.

The three major domestic telecom operators with strong technical and financial strength, promote the development of cloud computing. The first to force China Telecom, August 2011, China Telecom announced Tianyi cloud computing strategy, brand and solution, into the domestic foreign cloud computing strategy and solutions announced the first telecom operators. In the same year in early December of the same year, China Telecom announced that it will invest 12 billion yuan to build a cloud computing park, and will build a "China Telecom Cloud Computing Information Park" base in two phases. In October 2011, Huang Xiaoqing, dean of China Mobile Communications Research Institute, said that its own "Great Cloud" version 1.5 has been completed and developed. It includes five major product areas such as massive data management and analysis. China Unicom, 2011 10, China Unicom invested 4 billion yuan to start the construction of 180,000 servers in the western data center, will provide cloud computing services.

IT vendors have also entered the cloud computing camp. Following the Yunfan Plan 2011, Huawei released Yunfeng Plan 2012 in early November 2011 and for the first time defined three strategies of Huawei cloud computing: a large platform to promote the cloud of services and applications, and open up a win-win situation. Huawei has implemented cloud computing solutions in a wide range of industries including telecommunications, government, and healthcare. ZTE also focused on cloud technologies and led the informal interest group in cloud computing, becoming the first vendor to set up a cloud computing standards working group in IETF standards organizations. In addition, Internet giants Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and other companies are struggling to chase cloud computing ......

Cloud computing will usher in flourishing

Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft, said the emergence of "cloud technology" has given the world a third wave of IT. As a reforming force of a new generation of science and technology information technology, cloud computing technology has become one of the most popular technologies in the software and information industries at home and abroad.

The concept of cloud computing is to enable users to use IT services like electricity and water, reducing the barriers to using IT services for business users and public users. Cloud computing will transform the business model of IT services and open up vast market space. The "White Paper on China's Cloud Computing Industry Development" released before CCID Consulting shows that by 2012, China's cloud computing market will reach 60.678 billion yuan. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the scale of China's cloud computing industry chain will reach 750 billion to 1 trillion yuan.

At present, whether it is Microsoft, Google or Huawei, Baidu, both at home and abroad are talking about cloud computing, are longing for the beautiful market prospects it will bring. According to Gartner's 2009-2011 Global Top Ten Strategic Technology Analysis Report, 80% of the Fortune 1000 companies in the world will use cloud computing services in different ways by 2012, and 20% will no longer own any IT hardware assets.

After 2011's rapid development, in 2012 there will be more and better cloud computing applications serving all aspects of society and industries. Sun Huifeng, vice president of CCID Consulting, Sun Huifeng said recently that "China's cloud computing development can be divided into three stages, first from 2008 to 2010, this stage belongs to the incubation period, 2011-2015 is a growth period, after 2016 It is maturity.As the new engine of China's transformation and upgrading, cloud computing is expected to enter the explosion period in 3-5 years. "In the next few years, domestic cloud computing applications will see a blowout trend.

Rational development of cloud computing

The concept of cloud computing in the ascendant, the battlefield has long been smoke and smoke filled. Abroad Google, Amazon and other information giants, the domestic Huawei, ZTE, Baidu and so on. All parties are trying to seize the opportunities in the new markets brought by cloud computing technology.

The enthusiasm for cloud computing, not just business, the government is also lofty. In China, in October 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the Notice on Pilot Demonstration Work of Innovating and Developing Cloud Computing Services, taking the five pilot cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Wuxi as pilot cities. A year later, led by the National Development and Reform Commission, the three ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance, allocated 1.5 billion yuan as special funds for cloud computing demonstration projects of the national strategic emerging industries, focusing on promoting the development of the domestic cloud computing industry and supporting the leading cloud computing enterprises. Alibaba, Tencent, East China Computer, etc., a number of companies short-listed.

So far, Beijing has the "auspicious cloud plan", the "sea of ​​cloud plan" in Shanghai, the "cloud plan" in Guangzhou, the "cloud plan" in Chongqing and the "nebula plan" in Ningbo ...... Many provinces and autonomous regions of our country are already " Blossoming open ".

However, when everyone is enthusiastic about the development of investment, the hidden worries are also gradually highlighted. The development of cloud computing needs rational support. It is understood that the honorary chairman of the Ministry of Industry and Telecommunications Economic Experts Committee, former Minister of Information Industry Wu Ji-chuan pointed out that now a lot of places even the concept of cloud computing, the role did not find out, hurry circle cloud base is a waste, first of all to the next The concepts of the Internet, Internet of Things, and cloud computing have a relatively accurate understanding.

First of all, compared with other countries where the development of cloud computing is relatively advanced, there is a feature of rebuilding and light application in our country. Therefore, perhaps China should pay more attention to the application of cloud computing and innovation and strongly support cloud computing Business development, to avoid duplication of construction and waste of resources. Second, the cloud computing standard is not unified has become the bottleneck. At present, our government, telecom operators, large enterprises and so on are actively promoting the development of cloud computing, but without a top-level design standards, construction is still fragmented, which led to difficult to play synergies and other issues, does not meet the maximum cloud computing Limit the sharing of resources, the characteristics of flexible use. Therefore, a priority of our country is to study its common problems and to promote it as a standard to ensure the quality of cloud services. Only in this way can we help the healthy and large-scale development of the cloud computing industry.

In 2011, the rapid development of cloud computing in China has become a climate, and the future will gradually usher in vigorous development. As an important change of information technology, cloud computing brings more opportunities for development for all parties involved in the information industry chain. It also poses challenges. Only when we understand the situation and act rationally, actively innovate and devote ourselves to new applications can we truly realize our potential for the benefit of the community.
