Alliance--Push cloud computing to grow faster

The emergence of the alliance is nothing more than to make the weak strong or powerful alliances, and EMC, Cisco and VMware VCE Alliance, is definitely the latter. The VCE Alliance's product Vblock, which integrates EMC's management software, Cisco's network switching devices and VMware's virtualization advantages, integrates three directors and delivers the perfect http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/ 13543.html ">it service, three companies also benefited a lot from it. Of course, other companies will not wait for such opportunities to be snatched, and to fight the VCE Alliance, NETAPP, Cisco and VMware have also formed alliances and launched Flexpod products to counter the VCE Alliance's Vblock.

In fact, from a consortium standpoint, it looks like the main competition for EMC and NetApp's two companies. The root of competition is nothing more than the competition of IT infrastructure, but the infrastructure is too large, the need for a number of companies to complete, the alliance emerged.

In addition to large manufacturers to form alliances with each other, small manufacturers and users are not idle, a variety of alliances have been set up, on the one hand to complement each other, promote their own development, on the other hand, also conducive to the construction of a complete ecological chain, promote the development of the entire industry. And the formation of the alliance industry is also different, storage, cloud computing, data centers, everywhere, in short, is to promote better industry development. For example, the storage Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, is to revitalize and develop the storage industry, and then, for example, Zhongguancun Cloud computing Industry Alliance, is to enable Beijing Zhongguancun to become China's cloud Computing Research Center and industrial base, to promote the development of cloud computing in China, and the Asia-Pacific Cloud Computing Industry Alliance, To promote the development of cloud computing in the Asia-Pacific region. There is also an Open Data Center Alliance, launched by Intel, dedicated to developing an open industry ecosystem. The establishment of various alliances has effectively promoted the whole industry towards a more perfect direction.

In short, the emergence of the alliance, nothing more than to let the strong stronger, weak stronger, but it is because of the emergence of the alliance, the entire industry has achieved greater development. With the development of cloud computing, there will not be a single company on the market, but need more enterprises to unite together, complement each other, so as to make common progress, and the whole ecological chain can move toward healthier, more glorious direction.
