A book to pry tens of millions of yuan-level "cloud computing" industry

At the age of 37, he has been the Chengdu Institute of Information Engineering professor, Bo Guide, he determined to be research and research integration, involved in industry, he is the Chengdu Static Water Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the founders, the technical director, his name Wang Peng.

Pan Guyun, the first Chinese cloud computing core system developed by his company, has 16 practical patents. Entrepreneurship only two years, the company has achieved 10 million yuan operating income, is planning to introduce capital side, expand the industrial scale. Surprisingly, this dazzling cloud computing venture stems from Wang Peng's monograph, "Come near the cloud".

"Pan Guyun" won 16 practical patents

Chengdu Static Water Technology Liability Co., Ltd. "hidden" in Chengdu Information Engineering College next to a quiet community. The company's founder and technical director Wang Peng's office is simply furnished with a few antique wooden chairs and a thick stack of "cloud computing" books on the desk.

This is a technology company, but exudes a strong taste of the den, which may be related to Wang Peng's another identity--Chengdu Information Engineering College professor, Bo, serving in Chengdu Information Engineering College, the parallel Computing Laboratory director.

The 37-Year-old professor of research and industry, led the team to set up the company for only two years. However, it is such a seemingly obscure "small" company, but in the "cloud computing" industry has a very high reputation. The company developed the "Pan Guyun" to become the first independent intellectual property rights of the cloud computing core system, and has obtained 16 related utility model patents, two patents into the patent period of invention. At present, Pan Guyun has been in Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi ' An, Shanwei, Ordos and other land layout. Recently, Wang Peng was named "Innovative entrepreneurial talent in Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone".

In the last two years, the concept of "cloud computing" has been heated up, what is cloud computing? Wang Peng introduced, now, the use of "cloud" for developers to provide a wide range of computing, storage services, such as a resource pool. Developers use the resource pool interface to develop application services. "We are like a power station to power, the user only need to access the line, plug in the power, you can access." ”

At present, the world's major and secondary cloud computing providers from the United States, such as Amazon, Google and so on. So what is the entrepreneurial story of Wang Peng, the first to challenge international leadership?

Publication of the first cloud computing book

Wang Peng has obtained the Sichuan Physics master, the Chinese Academy of Sciences computer doctorate. After graduation, he worked in a research institute in Hefei, Anhui province. 2006, he chose to take his family back to his hometown, Chengdu Institute of Information Engineering, began to study cloud computing. It is a book of academic achievements that "happens" to be a key, opening up the cloud computing industry's pioneering door.

2009, Wang Peng will be years of painstaking research integrated manuscript "approached cloud computing", "disturbed" to the People's postal publishing press. At that time, the concept of "cloud computing" had just sprung up in China and quickly became the focus of the information industry, but no books were published. To his surprise, the people's post and telecommunications press had a strong interest in the book and quickly published it. "Approaching cloud computing" became the first "cloud computing" monograph.

In May, the first China Cloud Computing conference held in Beijing, due to an invited guests temporarily unable to attend, the Committee related staff temporarily invited him to "fill", and as an expert speech. At the same time as the speech received a round of applause, the scene of more than 200 of the "Approaching Cloud computing" monograph is also being sent to the industry elite hands, Wang Peng in the "cloud computing" industry quickly became popular.

Soon, "Come near cloud computing," the first printed 5,000 volumes sold out, and then several times, to the current sales million. With the deepening of the research, and widely recognized by the industry, the idea of the "cloud computing" industry is brewing in Wang Peng's mind. At the same time, Chengdu, an IT network company entrepreneurs Huanghua, Cao Ke also smell the "cloud" business opportunities. Under the referral of a student employee, they came together. Wang Peng's technical advantages and research resources platform, coupled with the yellow and Cao's customer resources, they began to "cloud computing" industrial domain exploration.

August 17, 2010, Chengdu Static Water Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd. was formally established, and this day is just Wang Peng 35 birthday. The entrepreneurial path from cloud computing to cloud computing has begun.

In essence, this is Wang Peng's two-time venture. At the same time as an associate professor at the University in 2006, he came into a network company to develop mobile search engine application services, from the role of Professor to the helm of the business. In order to experience marketing life, exercise marketing ability, face customer and understand customer demand, he has disguised as a general sales staff, house-to-house door-to-door sales, but he is difficult to "reluctant".

Due to limited market development, this entrepreneurial process eventually ended in failure, but it brought Wang Peng a lot of thinking. He sees his shortcomings and realizes that he is not fit to operate the business that needs to be geared toward individual consumers. It was a frontier for his subsequent entrepreneurial direction. Once again, the strategic planning of the static water Feiyun, focusing on the enterprise, the government strategic deployment level, to provide cloud system services.

be invited to work with government departments

When the company was founded, it coincided with the construction of the special cooperation Zone in Shanwei, Guangdong province. Wang Peng's team in the industry's influence, Shanwei government initiative to find companies to negotiate "Shenzhen-Shantou cloud computing test Data Center" construction cooperation projects. This excited Wang Peng's team, "We have just set up a small company, by the Government's initiative to invite, very surprised."

November 2010, the company and Guangdong Province Shanwei Shenzhen Special Cooperation zone set up Shanwei branch, open the South China cloud computing industry chain layout. By the company's planning and construction of the Shenzhen-Shantou cloud Computing Center in December 2011 and put into operation, released the first in China with independent intellectual property rights of cloud computing core system-Pan Guyun, in the Shenzhen-Shantou cloud Computing test data Center installed 500 computing nodes on the deployment of "Pangu Cloud computing Core system", "Pangu cloud computing , building a cloud platform to serve the enterprises in the Shenzhen-Shantou cooperation zone.

Wang Peng's team in the industry's influence such as "snowball" roll the bigger. Subsequently, the leaders of the Ordos committee came to the Shenzhen-Shantou cloud computing test Data Center to visit. A few days later, Ordos has called, hoping that the static water to help them plan the layout of cloud computing Industry Park, the industrial park to provide advice, planning, technical support services.

In addition to the industry's influence, Wang Peng recalls, perhaps a remark at the time had made the leaders of Ordos feel their sincerity, "when the leader visits, it indicates that there are tens of thousands of computing nodes in Ordos, and I started from a practical point of view, the proposal should be based on actual needs to determine the scale of construction, and then gradually expand, so more pragmatic. ”

Today, the government-led Ordos cloud computing industry Research Park is under construction, Wang Peng was appointed as the president of the Ordos Cloud computing Industry Research Institute, the static water Feiyun company will also take this industry study park as a stronghold, layout the northern market. Wang Peng said the development of the company is inseparable from the strong support of Chengdu High-tech Zone science and Technology Bureau and Innovation Center, and has been encouraged in support Fund and project Declaration, he laughs, said, "will not always ' inside the wall outside the flowering wall fragrance ', we are in Chengdu, the expansion of the local industry has been in ”

Static water Feiyun company last year's turnover has been over 20 million yuan, Wang Peng revealed, has now begun to contact the wind investment institutions to discuss financing, brewing enterprises listed.

Creating a culture of "national studies" in enterprises

Wang Peng is quite proud of the company's name, "Static Water Fei". "' Static water ' contains deep flow meaning, ' Feiyun ' show Lingyun heart, and familiar with the company's main business ' cloud '. "Unlike the general technology companies that favor" foreign names, he is obsessed with the company's name, which appears to be quite literary. "If you dare not" Chinese "in the name of the international competition, posture has already lost the first person. Wang Peng aspires to build China's own "cloud" of ambition and confidence in it.

"' Static water depth flow '--the most high state, ' elephant invisible '--the philosophy of cloud computing. Wang Peng wrote in his blog. The professor and technical director, who is at the cutting edge of international technology, is fond of calligraphy and poetry, and he will inject his understanding of Chinese traditional culture into the company culture, build the culture of "national sinology", and smile, "I am a literary youth in my bones." "The word" in the cover of his newly published monograph, "Asking Cloud computing," was written by himself, strokes. He believes that the "way" of life and technology are interlinked. He advocated the "academy" style of corporate culture, the company also set up a "quiet water bookstore", we exchange reading experience. On weekends, he will also take the team, with the monastic monks to eat and live, bath drum, meditation understanding.

"Into the Cloud" published, Wang Peng's team has published the "Key technology and application of cloud computing", "cloud computing China's future IT Strategy", "asked cloud computing" and other 7 monographs. 2012, Wang Peng became the first professional ph. D. Tutor in cloud computing, in academia or industry, "static water Feiyun" corporate brand has been launched.

Occupy the industrial Highland with the frontier thought

In recent years, "cloud computing" in the Chinese market has exploded development, in October 2010, the State Council issued the State Council on speeding up the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries decision, cloud computing is included in strategic emerging industries. The decision sounded the clarion call for a change in cloud computing in China.

Chengdu, the key city of economic development in the West, has also joined the ranks of the rapid development of cloud computing. July 2011, the Chengdu Municipal government released the "Chengdu Cloud Computing Application and industrial development" Twelve-Five "Planning outline", which put forward, to "Twelve-Five" at the end, to cultivate a group of strong strength and influence in the domestic cloud computing leading enterprises, cloud computing industry scale reached 300 billion yuan, Cloud services accounted for more than 10% of the national market, mobile intelligent terminal product manufacturing accounted for more than 20% of the global market, making Chengdu the world's largest cloud services and terminal products manufacturing base.

Wang Peng became the first of the domestic "cloud computing" research experts, he wrote the first domestic cloud computing monograph, industry influence accompanied. At the same time, the signal issued by the national policy, also let Wang Peng keenly capture, decisively promote the industrialization of scientific research, lead the team to develop informer independent intellectual property rights cloud computing core system, open up Izumo industry road. To the forefront of the industry in-depth research, thorough understanding, let him lead the team step by step forward.
