"IT168 Information" March 12, in a media editor of the spring meeting, the Century Internet Blue Cloud Division President Covenda revealed that as of 2014, the number of Windows Azure cloud services operated by the century has reached 50,000 users, and another office 365 of the trial users also totaled 35,000. After the successful introduction of Microsoft Cloud computing services and the landing of the Chinese market in 2015, century Interconnection will focus on the construction of the cloud ecosystem.

Blue Cloud: The first "International Cloud"


as early as November 1, 2012, Microsoft signed a deal with the Shanghai municipal government to operate a cloud computing platform, named "Blue Cloud", and set up the Shanghai Blue Cloud Network Technology Co., Ltd. to focus on the operations and services of cloud services based on Microsoft technology, including Windows Azure and Office 365.


because the Chinese government for information security considerations, for the international public cloud settled in China has strict requirements, such as data must be placed in China, the data center by the Chinese enterprises to monitor the operation and so on. So for now, there are very few international public cloud platforms in the real sense of open commercialization in China, and the blue Cloud is China's first international cloud computing platform. And, unlike other public-owned clouds currently on the market, the Blue Cloud offers the most comprehensive cloud services, offering both IaaS and PAAs services (Windows Azure) and SaaS Services (Office 365). Other public cloud platforms are mostly focused on the IaaS and PAAs levels.


talked about why Azure and Office 365 operating licences were able to pass the Chinese government's approval, Covenda told reporters that this was mainly because Microsoft and the century-interconnected mode of cooperation can meet the regulatory needs of the Chinese government, in fact, the century interconnection operating Microsoft cloud Services, involving 9 aspects, including " 7*24 platform Operations, 7*24 infrastructure monitoring, security disaster preparedness and business continuity, compliance consulting and support "and so on, are completely in the hands of Chinese companies, which is different from other international manufacturers insist on their own to oversee the operation of the data center.


2014 this year


This mode of cooperation has enabled Microsoft's cloud services to gain at least 1 years of opportunity to enter the Chinese market. Look at the 2014 Blue Cloud of a series of intense action--3 Month Azure official commercial, April Office 365 officially landed in China, July through a trusted cloud and other security certification, October joined together Storsimple launched a hybrid cloud program, the December release Office 365 Education edition, It is not hard to see, this year, is Microsoft cloud services really landed in China a year.


this year's time lag has also helped the blue cloud gain a sizeable user base. According to Covenda, as of 2014, the cumulative 50,000 users have deployed azure, the cumulative 35,000 users have tried Office 365, of which Office 365 of the paid enterprise customers have accumulated up to 1700.


Century interconnected blue Cloud division of Technical Operations, general manager Tang Tao told reporters, the current use of Windows Azure cloud service users mainly have several categories, one is to meet the stage of unexpected business load, such as CNTV use cloud computing to meet the annual Eve Gala live demand; The second is to migrate the client-side business load to the cloud platform, such as the company's website, but also a small number of users began to consider the back-end of ERP, CRM and other systems to the cloud migration; third, the use of cloud computing platform to achieve high-performance computing, mainly some institutions of higher learning in use; four is using cloud computing platform as a disaster preparedness plan, Use Backup service or site recovery to deploy disaster preparedness plans flexibly; Five is a large data application, using the characteristics of cloud platform to meet the data collection and analysis work; Six is the online media services, such as Pptv/letv, CDN Services, Push site content to a site closest to the customer group to enhance the user experience.


Safety First


in the spring meeting, Covenda about the blue Cloud said more about the "security."


facing tens of thousands of enterprises to host their own business, the importance of cloud platform security is self-evident. For a single customer, the stability and security of cloud computing services is often the primary consideration, but for government and society, the security and stability of cloud platform is also related to social responsibility, national information security and other higher levels.


According to the introduction, the blue Cloud in Beijing and Shanghai, respectively, the construction of the T4 standard data center, can help users achieve 6 off-site data backup, and, blue cloud in the provision of financial security 99.9%sla services on the basis of the current domestic cloud computing industry's only public service dashboard, It allows users to see Azure's service status in real time, making cloud services in the blue cloud truly transparent and fair. Last year, the first batch of blue cloud through the three trusted Cloud certification, this year again won 2 trusted Cloud certification, become the most trusted cloud manufacturers certified, the operation of Azure also received the "Information system security Level protection" certification.


2015: Constructing Cloud Ecological


talked about the 2015-year operation strategy, Covenda said that the blue cloud will be placed in the "cloud ecology" of the building above, in addition to continuing to maintain close cooperation with Microsoft, more importantly, the local customer demand for in-depth excavation and support, expand channel partners, the introduction of the best application at home and abroad.


in fact, according to the first half of the 2014 IDC China Public Cloud Services tracking survey, the user in the choice of public cloud service providers, the ecosystem has become a key factor in the study, such as whether you have more partners, whether you have local branch office support, Do you know more about the user's industry applications, whether you can meet customized requirements, and so on.


according to the author observation, almost all cloud computing manufacturers are also talking about building their own biosphere, some called cloud ecology, and some called Cloud Alliance, but the essence is similar. After all, the electrical business has overturned the traditional consumer domain of the business system, and the arrival of the cloud era, it will also be the enterprise IT business ecology to bring changes, a large number of traditional channels, integrators, ISVs, etc., are also seeking transformation. Therefore, it can be foreseen that, in the 2015, the construction of cloud ecology is not only the operation of the Blue cloud, but also the focus of China's cloud computing industry change.
