In October 10, 21 vianet signed a contract with Foxconn to establish a joint venture.
Foxconn, a global electronics manufacturing giant (Fortune 500), and 21 vianet are optimistic about the growth of IDCs, cloud computing, and other businesses in China. The two sides quickly and decisively reach a cooperation on the capital level, this reflects the appreciation and trust of Foxconn, the world's electronics manufacturing giant, In the 21 vianet IDC business. On the other hand, it reflects the current sound operating conditions and broad development prospects of 21 vianet.
As we all know, Foxconn is superior to electronic product manufacturing (the world's first). For 21 vianet, It is of far-reaching significance to be able to establish an alliance with Foxconn to improve its business quality. Why does Foxconn not associate with other national teams? Foxconn is not a fool.
As you know, Foxconn has already set up multiple industrial parks around the world. It is the world's leading provider of cloud computing solutions and the R & D, manufacturing and supplier of electronic devices such as servers, storage devices and cabinets. In China, Foxconn's alliance with 21 vianet is the target of cooperation.
21 vianet was originally mainly engaged in enterprise server hosting. Today, it has become an IDC supplier and cannot be used in the same day. 21 vianet and Microsoft formed an alliance to take over azure's public cloud business, with a business of only a dozen US dollars, accumulating less and operating in good faith.
Today, cloud computing technology is no longer a "secret", but it is very important to know what services are available on the cloud and how many services are there. Can you migrate the python programming language to the cloud? This "glue language" can easily link various modules (especially C/C ++ modules) made in other languages. Microsoft Azure public cloud can accommodate the python programming language, which is very popular.
Now, Microsoft, Huawei, and Foxconn are joining forces in the 21 vianet industry. What happened to 21 vianet? We should think that it is China's huge market that gave birth to the 21 vianet and made it a "sweet potato"!
