China has become an important cloud computing market for domestic and foreign enterprises to compete for

For many people, the notion of cloud computing is no stranger to that, let alone the meaning of the word, but at least we all know it is as "tide". At the Hannover Electronics Fair in Germany just concluded some time ago, once again the limelight is cloud computing, with so many exhibitors playing the cloud computing brand. According to Forrester, a market research firm, the global cloud computing market will grow to 241 billion U.S. dollars by 2020, up from 41 billion U.S. dollars last year. Industry professionals have said that IT companies compete in the field of cloud computing, has moved from the concept to practice. In China, competition in the cloud computing market is even worse. Both the long-established IT giants such as Cisco, Microsoft and IBM as well as Huawei, which has long been at the starting line, have long enjoyed a foothold in the cloud computing market.

In the view of Cao Tu-Qiang, Cisco's vice president and head of data center operations, cloud computing is the next stage in the evolution of the Internet. Its Internet-based services to increase, use and delivery model, the cloud is the Internet, a metaphor. It means that computing power can also be circulated through the Internet as a commodity, just as users use gas and water as easy access and low cost. In the future, just a laptop, a phone or any terminal, you can do everything we need via web services, even tasks like supercomputing.

In recent years, the strength of IT companies at home and abroad are rushing to make a fuss about cloud computing, each have their own ideas, each doing the piece of cloud. For most IT companies, there are three different identities in the popularization of cloud computing. First, as an international software and Internet company, they are cloud computing users. Second, they provide cloud services directly to users as they move forward with cloud computing. Finally, they are actively providing platform architectures for building cloud computing for other cloud service users or vendors. The last identity is the most important, because put up a good framework, you can have "build a nest lead phoenix" capital. Insiders said that this is a bit like the current smartphone platform controversy.

Competition is not a bad thing, Internet companies and IT companies to promote the rapid development of cloud computing. Cisco predicts that annual global cloud computing network traffic will expand to 12 times the current scale by 2015, with an average annual CAGR of 66%. By 2015, more than one-third of the global data center network traffic will be cloud Calculate traffic, then the annual global cloud computing traffic equivalent to 22 trillion hours of audio streaming, or 5 trillion hours of corporate video conferencing, or 1.6 trillion hours of online HD video streaming. Gartner, the world's top IT research firm, is even more daring to predict that cloud services will replace traditional PCs by 2014, becoming the dominant form of computing in the enterprise market. "Technically, cloud computing is a logical development and a revolution for enterprise applications and for own infrastructure restructuring." Dieter Kempf, chairman of the German Association for Information, Technology, Telecommunications and New Media Said at the ICT Expo in Hannover.

In the cloud computing arena, China is an important market for domestic and foreign enterprises to compete for. There are many opportunities here: the Internet of Things, smart grids, innovative healthcare and education models, urbanization and triple play have all become key directions and key elements for China's development, and these are in fact also relevant to cloud computing "As Sinusoft, senior vice president and general manager of data center and borderless network solutions at Cisco Greater China, the Chinese government will gradually devote a great deal of resources and power to promote the vigorous development of the cloud industry. It is reported that in addition to cloud computing included in the "second Five-Year" plan of the new strategic industries, to determine Beijing, Shanghai and other cities in five cities to carry out cloud computing services innovation pilot, more than the country have developed a cloud plan development plan. China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute predicts that in 2013 China's cloud computing market will reach 117.4 billion yuan.

About cloud computing, Cisco's core philosophy is "cloud-sharing architecture." It is said that this architecture integrates all the key links in the complete cloud computing industry chain and helps Cisco and its customers and partners share the most abundant and abundant resources in the planning and implementation of the cloud industry and obtain greater innovation value With business success. At the moment, Cisco's most promising products that can serve ordinary people are the "educational cloud terminals" jointly launched with Shanghai China Normal University. Cisco uses cloud computing technology to integrate whiteboards, projectors, touch-enabled computers, teachers and students with computers, audio equipment, and e-bookbags, which are commonly used in the classrooms, while the Chinese-funded capital city provides content. It is said that this "educational cloud terminal" has been put into some schools in Wenchuan, Sichuan, received good teaching results.
