2016 China's cloud computing infrastructure market will exceed 1 billion dollars

According to IDC's latest research data, China's cloud computing infrastructure market investment growth rate has reached 42%, and IDC forecasts that by 2016 China's cloud computing infrastructure market will be larger than 1 billion U.S. dollars.

China's enterprise Informatization started from the early 90 's, after 20 years of development, many enterprises, especially large and medium-sized enterprises of the IT structure has been completed. However, China's enterprise information construction has a very significant feature is that it system construction is based on the needs of all stages of enterprise completion, and there is no overall planning. This causes the enterprise each IT system is isolated, each system cannot connect effectively.

When the enterprise business scale becomes bigger, the demand of the cross system increases, this kind of "information island" effect becomes more and more prominent, therefore, the enterprise starts to use the middleware technology extensively, integrates each IT information of the enterprise. Middleware technology, represented by SOA, is gradually accepted by enterprises and valued.

After this, cloud computing began to come, the enterprise IT system integration to the climax, and even the view that the entire cloud is based on a large middleware concept built. In the cloud computing and landing mode, middleware technology becomes one of the core components.

Now, in the process of cloud computing landing, in view of the protection of old assets and the promotion of cost-effective, many enterprises are public cloud, private cloud mixed deployment, which can not cause much impact on the enterprise business, but also to enhance the flexibility of the business, but this brings new challenges to enterprise IT integration.

Gartner also points out that in the age of cloud computing, the need for system integration increases significantly in both quantity and type, and the strength of this integration becomes more sophisticated. Therefore, it is very important to realize the interoperability between the hybrid cloud, platform and platform and application. And middleware plays a very important role, it can achieve a variety of different applications in the standardization between the platform, so that each platform to achieve interoperability.

The development of cloud computing has driven the development of middleware, while in cloud computing, open source middleware is more suitable for enterprise applications, according to BZ survey Company's research data show that among the enterprises surveyed, 34.8% of the deployed is the JBoss application server, occupy the first open source application server, This proportion is almost the same as the first user of traditional middleware.

2012, Red Hat launched the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, its biggest highlight is the introduction of the latest cloud computing architecture, improve product availability and management capabilities, in the internal environment, private cloud and public cloud to achieve easy configuration and management upgrades.

In the cloud of IaaS, PAAs, SaaS three platform models, the PAAs platform has assumed the task of invoking the underlying underlying resources and providing support for the upper level business system, and the middleware itself is a tool for connecting the underlying operating system with the upper layer, combining the PAAs platform with the middleware technology, is undoubtedly a natural choice. Through the PAAs platform, the middleware is integrated into the basic Application facility resource pool to provide users with good application development, testing and running environment.

Many traditional IT companies have introduced middleware technology into the architecture of the PAAs platform, for example, IBM introduced WebSphere into the PAAs build. Currently in the open source world, this trend is even more noticeable, red hat will be the well-known JBoss middleware technology into its openshift PAAs platform. Red Hat recently released JBoss enterprise Application Platform 6 has been used as the engine for Red Hat openshift to drive Java workloads.

The development of cloud computing has undoubtedly provided a broader space for the development of middleware technology, because of the existence of various cloud computing models, middleware technology will become more and more important in the Enterprise Cloud Foundation construction. Now, many enterprises for low operating costs, low maintenance and rapid deployment factors such as the consideration of the open source middleware market will make a greater breakthrough.
