2013, the new Year of large data innovation

The pioneers of Silicon Valley, represented by Kelly, began a campaign this year, called "Quantification of Self" (quantified Self), a group of volunteers who volunteered to bring sensors and hand-held mobile devices to record the daily trajectory of life and then contribute to the data. So that cloud computing for the first time "people" http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11632.html ">24 hours of all kinds of behavior faithfully recorded, collected and sorted out, from the discovery of laws." December 12 This year, 2012 Cloud World Congress, we also invited them to China, a wonderful speech and display, but also with the cloud network to establish China's "quantitative self" community.

With smartphones, and a variety of "wearable" devices such as glasses, watches, and bracelets, our behavior, location, and even physical physiological data have become data that can be recorded and analyzed. These "wearable computations" not only faithfully record our clothing, food, housing, travel and status, but also, through ubiquitous mobile networks, constantly transfer large amounts of data to the "cloud", analyzing and feedback, understanding and improving our physical, emotional and peripheral environment. Based on this, the "Feedback economy" (feedback economy) and other new economic and business models began to form.

The age of the Internet, especially social networks, e-commerce and mobile communications, brought human society into a new era of structured and unstructured data information in the form of "PB" (1024TB). Before the advent of cloud computing, traditional computers could not handle such large, irregular "unstructured data". Only based on cloud computing information storage, sharing and mining means, can be cheap and effective to these large, high-speed, many changes in the terminal data to save, and at any time for analysis and calculation. Cloud computing continues to collect, accumulate, and compute large numbers of data, and the computational model has the ability to learn and become more accurate. Big data and cloud computing are two sides of a problem. One is the problem, the other is the way to solve the problem. By analyzing and predicting large data on cloud computing, it will make the decision more accurate and release the hidden value of the data. Data the new frontier of human Exploration in the 21st century was discovered and conquered by cloud computing. All indications are that 2013 will be China's big data year.

We have passed more than two years of attempts to "fund + base" model, through the cloud computing industry chain all links together to provide management, service, expand the platform to establish a cloud base and cloud computing ecosystem. This is an innovative ecosystem like Silicon Valley, with capital, business models, and a wide variety of businesses and entrepreneurs, intellectual influence, and cooperation and expansion with the government. This is also ready for us to meet the big data age, the 2013 big data will be our focus.

Big data can make us more aware of the world, more effective in understanding ourselves, more predictable in the future, and a true technological revolution. The problem of China's modernization solves the most complex demand, this kind of demand uses the traditional business model, whether in the personal computer age or in the internet age can not solve, such as traffic problems, education, business management and other various issues, China's modernization process of various complex problems, we must use a new way to solve. To explore the solution based on large data is an important means for China's industrial upgrading and efficiency improvement. Data mining is not only the source of company's competitiveness, but also a part of national competitiveness.

The U.S. government created the Data.gov Web site, opening the door to big data. Britain and India also have a "data publicity" campaign, the Beijing municipal government has recently set up a Beijing data website to open the data related to people's livelihood and services. To catch up with such a big data revolution, the community should start by trying to disclose data, methods and methods. Like the Industrial Revolution to open the material trade, the same. Open and circulating data is the demand of the trend of the times. Recently we and Baidu, Ufida, Unicom, Tencent and other companies launched a large data industry Alliance Zhongguancun, is to the Internet companies, operators of different data are concentrated together, through the exchange of the establishment of the ecosystem, the establishment of industry self-discipline, through publicity and education to promote large data.

Like oil and mines. For the Industrial Revolution, data is becoming the most important strategic asset of the 21st century. One of the most important things about the industrial revolution is the advent of chemistry, the creation of the periodic table of chemical elements, the refining of various plastics, the discovery of drugs such as aspirin, and the further progress of human civilization. Today's data is becoming a new era of chemistry, and it is hoped that through our investments and ecosystems, we will be able to nurture the discovery of aspirin in this era, the periodic table of the Mendeleev. Today, we are in the construction of the great era of Chinese dream, we very much hope that the first year of 2013 data, with an open mind, innovative courage to embrace the "big Data Age", the opening of China's big data innovation, entrepreneurial dream began.
