Find the software "blue ocean" brought about by cloud computing, and change "rough room" to "hardcover room"

This article is based on Gan Huajie, founder and CEO of the Alibaba Cloud marketplace.

Interview profile: Cisco CCIE network expert in early China. Over the past 11 years, I have always focused on network data and architecture. He has participated in the design, deployment, and launch of multiple data centers in China, and has also worked with international customers to develop and deploy projects for the Hong Kong cloud data center. The application production environment of the cloud computing vendor ecosystem is replaced by O & M services.
 

The traditional software mindset in the IT age has become the biggest obstacle to the integration into the DT age.

From the IT to DT era, data and cloud computing are becoming the hub and support for the internet of everything. I believe that traditional software will inevitably die out. Only by using Internet thinking to find the new "blue ocean" brought to the software in the DT era can we seize a place in changes.

The explosion of technologies such as cloud computing mobile Internet has highlighted the problems in the traditional software industry. I think it is mainly the "mindset" formed by traditional software, which is not integrated with new trends caused by technology:

First, the contradiction between economic tightening and hard costs: the lagging business model and huge management costs make it difficult to meet the ever-changing business needs of market customers. The economic downturn in 2015 has squeezed the market demand;

Second, there is a conflict between technical thinking orientation and new requirements: traditional software has low technical barriers and technical thinking orientation, so that software products cannot meet the new needs of users' technical changes;

Finally, the "red ocean" competitive market: the maturity of traditional industries, increasing product homogeneity;

 
I think the above contradictions made the traditional software industry more worrying in 2016.

Looking for blank fields of cloud computing, using software to convert "rough room" into "hardcover room"

Conflicts will inevitably bring about opportunities. Cloud computing technology will also bring about room for transformation for traditional software and increase the learning and processing capabilities. This is the high-density integration of computing and storage resources in the popular SaaS-based software era, this makes service capabilities ubiquitous. The design and development of software is particularly important for big data processing. The cloud environment allows data banks to develop rapidly, and the collaboration between various software is also gradually formed.

From traditional software follow-up to the new mobile Internet model, the traditional space is getting smaller and smaller, and I am constantly thinking about the new development model of the company. I have determined over the past few years that cloud computing is bound to be a development trend, so I am also thinking about how to discover new business opportunities from new trends. In the past few years, from the beginning to the explosion of cloud computing, Alibaba Cloud has been constantly providing users with products and services around cloud computing. When cloud computing is not yet mature, we have launched many basic software products and O & M services to help customers easily migrate to the cloud. To put it bluntly, it is to help users turn the "rough room" of cloud products into "hardwarehouses", so that they can achieve light operation, this can greatly reduce the departure of technicians or the problems caused by poor skills.

In the future, as cloud computing products become more and more mature, we will also shift our focus to services. At the same time, we will start to expand from the small white users and dig deeper into services to meet the needs of more complex users.

 

The cloud computing era is a "way to play" on big platforms. We need to find the best partners.

It is important to grasp upstream and downstream resources. The centralization of user, computing, and storage resources is a trend. Alibaba has a huge number of individual and enterprise user resources, and the technology field is also the leader among Internet enterprises. During The cloudification process of computing and storage resources, can play a huge role. Therefore, we have been closely cooperating with large cloud computing platforms with large resources and maintaining close relationships with Alibaba Cloud, which is also the first service provider to enter the Alibaba Cloud marketplace. The era of DT also brings about many user experience problems. We can also use years of network and application system O & M experience in the ecosystem to help users migrate to the cloud.

The cloud marketplace provides users with O & M service capabilities. When users need service provider intervention to solve problems, they can find the optimal solution provider in the cloud marketplace. The official website also regularly carries out promotional activities, which greatly stimulates potential market service demands and allows users to find service providers if they have problems, in this way, the efficiency of network or system troubleshooting can be improved, and answers can be quickly found from questions. So far, CLP has provided more than 30 thousand O & M services to users, directly providing over 90 thousand Image services, and indirectly serving more than 30 thousand users, to fully reflect the market value.

Users get panoramic services in the ecosystem built by Alibaba Cloud and ISV.

The software development service market is mixed, and the quality of developers is uneven. Developers often encounter business interruptions or data loss due to catastrophic faults in the basic environment. To avoid this problem, Alibaba Cloud provides cloud infrastructure facilities uniformly planned and deployed in the cloud market. Service providers are responsible for deploying standardized production environments and providing after-sales services for various problems during use, to ensure that the developer's project is fully protected, so that the developer can focus more on project operation and Development, and the business of the project has been greatly improved.
