Blocked Cloud computing

Despite the "foggy", "Cloud", "parrot" and other kinds of questioning voice, but can not stop the rapid development of cloud computing pace.

2011, surging. Governments around the world announced the launch of cloud computing strategy, and invest a lot of money as the cloud computing industry's "leader", telecommunications, finance, medical, logistics and other industries have built "telecommunications cloud", "financial Cloud", "Medical cloud" and "logistics cloud" and other forms of rich mixed clouds, to promote the application of cloud landing The IT industry has continued to grow in mergers and acquisitions, with Dell acquiring Force10 and Huawei acquiring Huawei Symantec, which has the opportunity to seize the cloud computing market for the same purpose.

A cloud with Chinese characteristics

In the development of China's cloud computing, the government has become the dominant force.

The clouds of Beijing, the clouds of Shanghai, the Kun Cloud in Shenzhen, the clouds in Chongqing, the clouds in Ningbo, the Cloud Valley in Wuxi, the cloud supermarket in Hangzhou, the sky Cloud in Guangzhou, these familiar government clouds form a "cloud with Chinese characteristics".

In the 2011, the government increased its investment in cloud computing. However, the investment boom has sparked concerns about a "great leap forward" in cloud computing.

In the 2011 white Paper on China's cloud computing industry released by Sadie Consultant, the local government invested huge sums of money to build the cloud computing center and bought a lot of hardware equipment, but found that it lacked valuable practical application, thus causing the cloud computing industry's current development of "Castles in the Clouds" scene.

To this end, the white Paper believes that the government should seize the strategic opportunities of cloud computing, to prevent interest groups to use cloud computing circle money enclosure. The need for special policies and regulations to promote the development of cloud computing, but also to take the lead in the use of cloud computing to provide specific civic services to promote the landing of practical cloud services.

Happily, in 2011, cloud computing applications began to fall. Based on the "cloud computing" technology set up the information platform has begun to provide convenient services for the people, while the private cloud established by enterprises has helped enterprises reduce operating costs significantly, and improve the efficiency.

In the process of pushing cloud computing to the ground, the three operators played the role of "vanguard". In the 2011, the three major operators started the "desktop Cloud" pilot work, and began to provide cloud host, cloud storage and virtual resource services, truly changed the traditional "hosting" mode, so that the cloud computing service model becomes possible.

Mergers and acquisitions intensified

Whether it's "radical" or "leapfrog," there's no denying that cloud computing, the third it revolution after the PC and the Internet, is pulling out a feast.

Savvy device makers certainly won't miss the big deal. Huawei, the traditional telecoms equipment maker, announced a massive foray into cloud computing by the end of 2010. Huawei Vice President, it product line CTO Li Sanqi said: "Huawei's cloud computing investment does not set a limit, but Huawei does cloud computing just started, but also in the initial stage of strategic investment, to do must endure loneliness." ”

After that, ZTE announced its strategic foray into cloud computing as one of the company's new strategic growth points. ZTE's president, Shi, said he hoped that future cloud-related revenue would be one of the three points in the company's revenue.

Cloud computing involves hardware, software, operating systems, terminals and other aspects, the general equipment operators rarely able to cover the entire industry chain. In order to preempt the Cloud Computing initiative, 2011, cloud computing mergers and acquisitions continue. August 2011, Dell announced the acquisition of Force10, a comprehensive transformation of cloud computing, in October, Huawei announced a 530 million-dollar takeover of Symantec Holdings of Huawei's Symantec 49% stake in the cloud computing solution.

"With the large-scale development of cloud computing, mergers and acquisitions activities will continue to increase." One analyst told reporters.

Standards and safety need to keep up

In the April 2011, the Amazon EC2 service in the eastern part of the United States was seriously faulted, and subscribers, including Reddit, Foursquare and many other well-known websites, were affected to varying degrees. The incident has again sparked a lively debate in the industry about cloud computing security.

In fact, along with the development of cloud computing, cloud security has been "criticized". At present, including Symantec, Trend technology, Neusoft, including security vendors have launched a comprehensive cloud security solutions.

"Cloud security needs to be further improved, which is a prerequisite for the large-scale development of cloud computing." "Xu Jianfeng, chief architect of Cisco's China operator network, said to reporters.

At the same time, because there is no unified standard, the products or solutions between vendors can not be interoperable. In response to this shortcoming, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology is stepping up the development of cloud computing standards, once the standard formation, the development of cloud computing will be rule-based.

One year review

2011 Cloud Computing

January, Huawei announced the adjustment of the business structure, divided into operators, business, terminals and others, the banner of Huawei's foray into the cloud officially opened.

In the April, the Amazon EC2 service in the eastern part of the United States was seriously faulted, including Reddit, Foursquare and many other well-known websites, users were affected to varying degrees.

May, ZTE announced strategic foray into the cloud computing field, the cloud as one of the company's new strategic growth point.

June, Apple announced icloud strategy to provide users with cloud services.

August, China Telecom officially released the Sky Wing cloud computing strategy, brand and solutions, plans to officially launch next year Cloud host, cloud storage and other series of Sky cloud products.

September, China Unicom Cloud computing debut, for China Unicom is about to launch the desktop cloud pilot ready, Huawei and think Jerry each won half.

November, Huawei announced the acquisition of Huawei Symantec, bets on corporate business.

HP Cloud Computing Solutions

The core idea of HP Cloud system Hpcloudsystem is to integrate all IT resources, including server, storage and network resources, into a large resource pool for unified management and unified deployment and coordination by unified management software. At present, Hpcloudsystem support hardware platform including HP X86 to UNIX server, will also support the future Third-party X86 server, and can achieve unified management, is a truly open cloud computing platform.

• Editorial Reviews: HP's Cloudsystem is a completely visual solution, through virtualization to help enterprises build their own cloud platform, and to assist enterprises to "instant Czech enterprise" transformation.

Huawei Desktop Cloud Solution

Huawei Desktop Cloud Solution covers thin terminals, servers, networks, storage, security, virtualization, cloud management platform, business software, room design, is the industry's only end-to-end solution. At the same time, Huawei Desktop Cloud Solutions provide end-to-end security, including cloud Platform security, virtualization security, data security, and so on.
