Seize the opportunities that cloud computing brings

China Economic Times: Fierce competition has prompted many manufacturers to face transformation, what should be paid attention to during the transformation?

@ Li Qiang: At the moment, IBM's transformation is more successful, followed by Hewlett-Packard, Dell-like companies. At home, companies are still in the exploratory stage. To Pao example, to the hardware server started, after the addition of storage, software and many other departments, and now become a diversified company. This is an evolutionary case. For cloud computing, we set four stages: The first phase is primarily for device vendors, as a device provider for cloud computing infrastructure, providing servers and storage; The second phase provides private http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/for the private cloud of the customer 14226.html "> Cloud solution, which needs to be combined with some resources in the downstream of the entire cloud computing industry; The third phase provides a public cloud solution for the client's public cloud applications, and the fourth phase, which gradually specializes in cloud service operators. In my opinion, the most important part of the transformation is to plan well and to walk in several stages, because it is very difficult to move from one stage to another.

China Economic Times: industry cloud is the hotspot in cloud computing, the competition for industry cloud, formerly just product contest, now expands to the whole cloud domain, how do you look?

@ Li Qiang: This competition is mainly a few points: the hardware is standardized, the company's overall strength, including supply capacity, sales service capacity, etc., the most important price and the business situation of each family. And now cloud computing is an integrated industry, it is a big project credit integration, the players need the overall upfront planning, product delivery capabilities, project implementation capacity and follow-up service capabilities. Customers will not simply consider the price of a single product, but consider the value of the application as a whole. In other words, the integration of products together, with the way of cloud computing, ultimately to customers, customers will see the overall can achieve what, can bring much value.

China Economic Times: for chips and other hardware, Chinese manufacturers are committed to independent research and development, now is more mature?

@ Li Qiang: As far as I know, China has three cores: godson, Soar and radar. From the industrial planning and national layout, these three are actively promoting the development of the industry, but if you want to really want to achieve the absolute replacement of some brands of foreign products, such as Intel, MD, it will take some time. With the godson example, its products are basically able to complete the optimization calculation, but want to catch up with Intel's products, but also need a higher and more stable computing capacity, it is estimated that such products are still in the development of testing phase.

China Economic Times: At present, in the server sector, most of them are Hewlett-Packard and other foreign brands more powerful, compared to such a well-known brand, Chinese manufacturers have what advantages?

@ Li Qiang: with Pao examples. Its advantage or independent innovation, to do national products, with "is the nation is the world" this concept to do market operations. Compared with HP and other big companies, most of the Chinese manufacturers are relatively weak in brand power. Chinese manufacturers should strengthen their brand promotion in many aspects, such as in various conferences, popular publicity should make a difference. Now there is a good chance that the development of cloud computing is an opportunity and a challenge for server vendors. The so-called opportunity is this open platform for hardware requirements are not too high, each can participate in the challenge of the hardware manufacturers will be more stringent requirements, such as cost-effective, that is, the profit will be reduced, I expect, in the future, "radish cabbage" price to sell hardware.
