China opportunity for Big Data

After 2012 years of bedding, brewing, born until questioned, noisy, hype, large data in 2013, will officially go down the altar, in-depth various fields of industry, a huge change of power, this is the "Big data Year" the core of the essence.

From a global perspective, this change is taking place. The internet industry is the first, followed by business intelligence and consulting services, retail industry, but also medical, health, transportation, logistics and even biotechnology, astronomy ... The awareness and ability of data services, which are spawned by large data, are affecting all aspects of the society, from commercial technology to health care, government, education, economics, humanities and other areas of society, and have spawned transformative forces in all sectors.

China, which is at the forefront of developing countries, is facing a major historical choice. It should be said that in the past more than 30 years, China in the rapid industrialization, information, networking has handed over a good report card. Coincides with the world to data, into the era of large data, whether for individuals, enterprises, or the society and the State, have a serious understanding of the necessity and urgency of serious decision-making.

In the "Twelve-Five" plan of Internet of Things published by the Ministry of Technology, the information processing technique is proposed as one of the 4 key technological innovation projects, including mass data storage, data mining, and image video intelligent analysis, which is an important part of large data. The other 3 information-aware technology, information transmission technology, information security technology, and "large data" closely related.

and domestic internet companies in this wave of data services quickly find their own position, constantly through input method, browser, antivirus platform, as well as a variety of Trojans, cookies and other products and services, including the rise of cloud computing in recent years, are trying to acquire and integrate more user behavior data, And it is expected that these tools will enhance their mastery of data structure, increase data relationships, integrate and utilize fragmented data in a variety of ways-even though these attempts are at a fundamental stage.

In addition, as the data services themselves to data collection, storage, analysis and processing requirements, some hardware changes are also in the production, international IT giants such as IBM, EMC, Hewlett-Packard and so on are beginning to launch in these areas targeted products, and embedded in its own service matrix. Domestic IT enterprises are also aware of this wave, began in the original business and products based on the increase in data research and development and investment, and come up with a preliminary product and program, hoping to keep up with the trend.

An optimistic expectation is that the domestic large data market has broad market demand, follow-up growth potential, good investment prospects and other advantages, the follow-up development is worth watching. But the huge crowds and application markets, the complexity, the changing conditions of the industry, and the shackles of policy, philosophy and historical factors make China the world's most complex large data country.

The opportunity and challenge of the data government

With the development of Internet technology, data will become a strategic resource like energy and material. How to use data resources to explore knowledge, enhance efficiency, promote innovation, make it serve for national governance, enterprise decision and even personal life, is the goal of large data technology. As technology matures, large data technology will become an important tool for national governance.

Tian, chairman of the broadband capital, said: "All the revolutions in modern history, China are learners." In this new change in cloud computing and big data, China is the least distance from the world, and in many areas there is even the possibility of innovation and leadership. In particular, two points are very beneficial to the development of China's information industry.

On the one hand, large data technology to open source mainly, so far, has not formed an absolute technology monopoly. Even IBM, Oracle and other industry giants, but also the integration of open source technology, and the company's original products better integration. Open-source technology is open to any country, and Chinese companies can also share open source cakes. In the past few decades, China's information industry, has been lagging behind the foreign giants, long-term at the end of the industrial chain, to earn low-end profits. Despite the country's huge sums of money to support the upstream pioneers, such as CPUs, operating systems, and Office software, there are few successful precedents for spending the country's money. But in the emerging large data processing field, Chinese and foreign companies almost stand at the same starting line. Some people in the industry said that only the narrow consideration of large data processing technology (such as Hadoop, MapReduce, pattern recognition, machine learning, etc.), the gap between China and the foreign only about 5 years. If you consider the size of digital assets and the technology used, the gap between China and foreign countries is more reflected in the gap of consciousness.

On the other hand, the size of China's population and economy determines the size of China's data assets and is crowned globally. Objectively for the development of large data technology, provided the drill field. 2nd, the Government, academia, industry, capital Market Quartet to work together to ensure that the national data security, the maximum level of open data assets, promote data association applications, release large data value.

Chen Jiachun, deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Information technology communications development, said: "China's large data industry is also facing the lack of talent, data resources are not rich enough, the degree of data openness is low, the relevant laws and regulations are not perfect and so on." In fact, China's current value and application of large data, the government, academia, industry and capital markets have yet to reach a consensus on the understanding. The phenomenon of "data separatist" and "islands of data" is prevalent in various departments and places.

So the awareness and ability to open data is the most important point. The network public Data service, which lags far behind the times in the past few decades, has sprung up in recent years, starting from the fragmented, backward, rough and passive states to a new stage of integration, dynamic, refinement and initiative. In the data disclosure, the trend is not personal or business, because they are trapped in the interests of individuals or businesses, representing the public interest and the public revenue to maintain the government is becoming the trend of data disclosure and rule makers.

In the final analysis, in addition to the technical deficiencies, the deep understanding and understanding of large data, as well as the concept of Open data, is a key factor hindering the landing of large data technology in various industries. Connecting to the various problems faced by China's modernization and the challenges of education, transportation, health care and so on, it is more meaningful to solve the problem through the innovative way of large data, to create a new industry group and to realize the change of "Made in China to create in China".
