How to see cloud computing after two years of "Test water" in China Telecom's transition to the Internet?

China Telecom Cloud Computing Company (hereinafter referred to as "Telecommunications cloud Company") was established in March 2012, is the transformation of the Internet in China Telecom, free from the traditional institutional constraints, independent operation of the subsidiary.

Telecom Cloud company headquarters is located in Beijing West Five ring North section, remote and desolate, staff commuting is not very convenient, but compared to the headquarters of the telecommunications, but it seems spacious and quiet.

After two years of "Test water", China from the 3G into the 4G era, telecom cloud company how to deal with the traditional telecom industry profit decline pressure? How to confront such challenges as internet company Aliyun? "April Fool's Day" on the eve of the telecommunications company to arrange a media open days, I have the opportunity to see the company's big Guy "Shuangfeng" (China Telecom cloud company general manager Wang Feng, deputy general manager Xu Shou)

Xu Shou Answer Media asked Dry goods:

1, the 4G era of cloud computing demand continued strong. March 18 China Unicom issued a 4G strategy, marking the three major telecom operators into the 4G business. Users on the 4G network speed than 3G experience better, the birth of real-time application scenarios more.

2, in the 3G era, China Telecom cloud business has not realized profitability. Although China Telecom in the cloud computing investment of more than 3 billion, but the operator is fixed network access, in the short term it is difficult to form a scale, the cost recovery period is longer, at least until 4 years after the full popularity of 4G is expected to achieve profitability.

3. No one can stop cloud computing from developing in China. The China Telecom Cloud computing business revenue program grows at a 40–50% rate every year. The driving force comes from two aspects: User's consumption habits change and government purchase pull.

4, China Telecom cloud computing in the next two years development road: China Telecom Group has put forward the "five years to rebuild a China telecom" goal, and "traffic management", "Internet application" and emerging ICT services to achieve the goal of three important means.

Compared to Xu Shou more serious answer reporter asked, Wang Feng did not attend the cloud product launch, but and the author of "Chat." He believes that cloud computing makes 4G services smoother and more promising for cloud computing: With the advent of the 4G era, mobile Internet development will take a new step, people's way of life has changed dramatically, the information is more convenient to interact, from the initial text information to interact with the present photos, music, video sharing, The need for data storage is getting bigger.

At home, the first, Tencent, Ali and Baidu have settled in the telecom company's Inner Mongolia Cloud base, 2013 in the Inner Mongolia Cloud Computing Conference, Li, Ma Yun in person; second, Aliyun has been very strong, coupled with the Internet's thinking, the operator impact can not be belittled; third, the domestic cloud companies so always, do not pick up the atmosphere , the profit model is vague and unbelievable.

How does Telecom cloud company compete with internet companies? Wang Feng seems to be more convinced of Telecom's own channels, more emphasis on the industrial chain, rather than the growth of individual enterprises.

Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft are all in the internationalization of cloud computing. Some people suggest that China Telecom cloud computing will be internationalized? There are big international telecom operators to buy small companies and so on. Wang Feng only cited a simple example: ZTE Huawei to expand the business to that country, China Telecom ancillary services to that country, and telecommunications need not for the nationalization of a separate country or region to do business ("Internationalization for Internationalization").

Two-year achievement and strategy of telecom cloud computing

In addition to the introduction of new products, cloud Company's future focus on the "4+2" cloud resource layout.

1, the introduction of customer service-oriented desktop cloud solutions, to provide from the desktop cloud Platform software, desktop cloud terminal, desktop Cloud resource pool construction, desktop cloud Platform integration and operational services, such as a full range of services. Cloud Acceleration (CDN) Service layout at present more than 20 customers, service users more than 100 million people.

2, the cloud filed by the telecom cloud domain Patent 42, formed a "4+2" cloud resource layout. The so-called "4", namely the east and West four cloud data center, including Shanghai, Sichuan, Guangdong and Beijing, "2" refers to Inner Mongolia and Guizhou two large cloud base.

3, China Telecom CDN node has covered 31 provinces and autonomous regions nationwide, network bandwidth resources reached more than 2000G, more than 10000 servers to provide accelerated service.

The author realizes: Stones?

Compared with Alibaba, Google and other internet companies, China's three major telecom operators in the Internet business progress is not very rapid, can only be said to be "stones."

First, huge sums of money to engage in "enclosure movement." China Telecom "4+2" cloud resource layout, Inner Mongolia and Guizhou Jianyun base. China Unicom plans to set up large five-star data centers in seven cities such as Langfang, Dalian, Wuxi, Dongguan, Nanning, Hohhot and Chongqing in three years, and is expected to invest tens of billions of dollars. Mobile also set up a cloud base in Inner Mongolia, allegedly invested tens of billions of dollars. However, people familiar with the matter thought they were in the "Test water" internet business, and the unsuspecting people thought they were doing real estate.

Secondly, the profit model is not clear. Under the pressure of Internet competition, the three telecom operators have proposed the transformation of the Internet. Similar to China Telecom Cloud company, the establishment of an independent subsidiary operation is a trend. The competitiveness of video, gaming and cloud computing is significantly enhanced. However, it is still subject to the traditional management system of telecommunication. For example, operators and Internet companies between the business "interconnection", such as the acquisition of some gifted small companies, the use of telecommunications channels, the flow of free, and so did not open their hands and feet. led to the operator base in the face of internet companies provocation, fear of foot.

Thirdly, opening is the first step of telecom operators ' Internet transformation. Similar to China Telecom Cloud Company with the two anniversary of the "Media Open Day", let the media people walk into the door, let the media people themselves experience, this in the telecommunications industry is not uncommon. Today, China's three major telecom operators have set up dozens of bases, but each base business progress and core competitiveness, believe that 80% of the media are not clear. Some "bases" not only do not accept the media experience, is a general interview reporters, but also through the group headquarters for approval, and most of the interview and communication forms of rigid, and Internet philosophy is far from. Therefore, here to the Telecom cloud company point a "praise"!
