"Two integration" to realize the cost advantage of cloud industry

The slogan of "Two fusion" is to realize the promotion of http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/20826.html > traditional industries, to promote the optimization of industrial structure, to increase the productivity of labor per capita and to increase the value-added of products. Enhance the position of the industrial chain, reduce the loss of energy, promote the emerging technology and new industries in the depth of integration methods and means.

And in the information of the protagonist "cloud computing", SaaS, Paas,iaas and other nouns, many people may say these are all kinds of provide and use IT services to save money coup. Indeed, the rapid development of server virtualization and Internet technology allows IT resources to be used like "group hire" and "carpool" to reduce costs and improve utilization.

No matter how cloud computing changes, it is necessary to rely on the data center to achieve landing. It can be said that the data center is the root of cloud computing, cloud computing is the "leaf" of the data center, cloud computing to promote the development of the data center, and the growth of the data Center for the Development of cloud computing provides a solid foundation. They play a mutually interdependent and mutually reinforcing role. According to reports, Cloud computing services can be 5 to 7 times times more efficient than traditional data centers.

For cloud computing, there is a lot of controversy about which of the cost of capital and operating costs is more cost-effective. This is clearly reflected in our work. At one meeting, it was proposed to use AWS as a platform for deployment, and one business manager said bluntly: when you buy a server two years later, you don't want to use AWS as a deployment platform. While this is a rough financial assessment, the cost of capital expenditure as operating costs is higher than the purchase of assets and the payment of depreciation costs.

Migrating to a private cloud is far more complex than this. Before that, most organizations used one application, one server, so all depreciation was allocated to one application. Thus, the assessment of capital expenditure is relatively simple. The annual depreciation rate now requires multiple application allocations.

Today, organizations using computational resources are unwilling to pay uniformly; after all, they are only short-term use. Do they prefer to combine resources to make a short-term test or a short-term business plan without considering a five-year depreciation schedule? Resource users expect to pay for basic operating costs; They just want to pay for what they use without caring who is providing it.
