China's private cloud IaaS construction road

IaaS based on a private cloud deployment has more room to grow than a heavily-constrained public cloud IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) build. In the market with Chinese characteristics, the latter is one step ahead of success.

The wave of cloud computing on the land in China is becoming more and more irresistible. The excitement it brings to the industry and even to society as a whole can even be compared with that of PC and the rise of the Internet. At the same time, it must be admitted that private cloud is one of the easiest and most accustomed to being entangled in the various hot issues in China's cloud computing industry. In terms of technological innovation, business transformation, or industry development, all parties generally express their high recognition of the deployment of private cloud.

As one of the four cloud computing deployments defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in the final definition of cloud computing definition, private clouds are truly easy to experiment with, flexible to deploy, and secure and controllable. Unlike the public cloud building, which does not require early infrastructure build-ups on a large scale and because of the firewall within the enterprise data center, the security and quality of service are more manageable.

Overall, for enterprise users, private cloud-based cloud computing deployment can not only build cloud services with on-demand self-service, resource sharing and broad delivery, but also flexibly schedule computing resources within an enterprise and also accord more with In the early days of cloud computing application, enterprise customers were relatively conservative (do not want to place business data in the public cloud) consumer psychology.

In the Chinese market, private cloud is more concerned than the public cloud for several reasons. In this article, we will present the state of the art of private cloud IaaS for the Chinese market from the solution provider's perspective.

Compared with the public cloud IaaS service operation must cope with the Internet service regulation, network connectivity and other troubling issues, private cloud IaaS construction can lead to a greater range of enterprise users practice enthusiasm. This cloud computing in the enterprise environment based on the ground, is from Sentimental to mature. Based on the previous long-term market cultivation and application development, China's private cloud IaaS market has taken shape, which is mainly reflected in the steady expansion of the overall market size, including mainstream cloud computing technology providers and start-ups, including the participants have been initially completed Their own industrial layout, as well as the level of corporate practice demonstrated by the scale and industry and so on.

For the private cloud IaaS construction in the Chinese market, the just past 2012 can be said to be "a year of successful promotion." During this year, private cloud IaaS construction was expanded in a larger market and industry. The mainstream cloud computing technology and service provider groups including mainstream IT vendors and a large number of start-ups showed flourishing prosperity.

Of particular concern is the impact of open source campaigns on the construction of private cloud IaaS in 2012. The overall rise of the open source cloud platform represented by OpenStack brings a new choice for enterprise customers to build a private cloud IaaS. As the most sought-after open source project after Linux, the technology boom set by OpenStack has not only attracted the attention of enterprises and developers, but also greatly contributed to raising the public's awareness of private cloud IaaS. At the same time, the commercial cloud platform vendor camp Profond impact. Heavyweight suppliers such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Intel and Cisco have all joined the OpenStack ecosystem.

Coupled with the power of business and open source, as well as continued goodness from the national policy level, corporate customers have begun to understand and realize the value of cloud computing from a deeper perspective. China's private cloud IaaS construction is expected to maintain rapid growth in 2013, further approaching the market's harvest period.
