Hot Mobile Internet entrepreneurship, a large number of new applications every day, limited by the development of China's wireless network, small and medium developers are short of funds, can not be like large companies by adding servers, build base stations and other methods to solve the problem of network congestion. Industry development led to the transformation of related services, now, the traditional Internet CDN technology company began to expand business to mobile Internet, "entrepreneurial state" interviewed the largest CDN service provider Blue Flood ChinaCache founder and chairman Wang, let him in the cloud computing technology gradually mature, The application of a broad background, the mobile Internet Era CDN services related to the hot topic of their views, the following is the interview record:

In the past, some people think that using cloud computing technology to do CDN services more than a bit more, now it seems really not, not only that, in the rapid development of mobile internet, Cloud CDN will have a greater development space. Last year I went to Amazon, which has a large cloud computing platform that carries a hundred thousand of of mobile Internet applications and accounts for a large part of the Amazon Cloud platform. At the same time, apps on Facebook, or some of the apps on the App Store, are basically on Amazon's platform for survival. Gaming companies such as Zynga, most of the emerging games are running on the cloud platform, either at the mobile terminal or on the PC side.

Mobile Internet is a huge opportunity for CDN service providers. Previously, many U.S. analysts said that LTE (can be seen as "quasi 4G" technology) after the popularization of mobile interconnection is a disaster. Why is that a disaster? Future mobile Internet traffic will show exponential growth. In the past, the traditional Internet in PC units, home the first one or two computers, and now mobile Internet a person wish to have two terminals. The growth of the application has led to an exponential growth in Internet traffic, which has never been more stressful.

For a terminal, the computer terminal because of its ability to comb, it gives you the bandwidth transmission is actually disproportionate, so it is not a bottleneck. To the mobile Internet, mobile terminals are different, the user experience will be different. Different versions of the iphone, different versions of Android, different handsets, and the user experience are completely dissimilar. 3G, WiFi and other network applications can also cause different user experience. Blue Flood launched Content-aware Web Services strategy includes wireless networks, wired networks, WIFI, 3G a variety of network awareness and tablet computers, mobile phones and other terminal perception, to provide them with better service quality and customer experience.

The biggest headache for mobile operators today is that mobile Internet applications are growing so fast that they don't know what kind of networks they need. Sometimes it can not meet the needs of customers, but sometimes it is a waste of resources. Of course the network is in fact the investment at any time, but you hit the bottleneck point is the most valuable. You throw in other places, for example, widen the access, but in fact the backbone network is the problem. Although you spend a lot of money to widen access, the investment effect is difficult to show.

If the user just do a download, in the background to download a song, then the network requirements are not very high. However, if the user in the free time playing games, the speed of a little delay, the other side will cut you down. Developers are also constantly observing that today's mobile internet has so many innovative applications on the line, and our network can support what kind of application services-if the application of the network is too expensive to play, so it is difficult to survive. So if the developer can match the application and the network in time, it will be able to win quickly, to occupy the opportunity of the new market. Because the cost of mobile channel is very high, so the developer how to effectively and fully utilize the good mobile channel, to do the most valuable application service, is a question worth considering.

For mobile internet developers, without CDN services, it is difficult to get business to cover all of China's operators and all networks. Because mobile apps may be small at first, three or four people a team, if the fire, in a short period of time to support tens of thousands of people at the same time online, which requires a lot of server pressure, so that the mobile Internet development team to do this scale of network support, is not very likely, inexperienced, and no financial resources.

If it's easy in America, developers to finish the application, looking for a cloud to put up after the CDN service providers to the whole package, if no one to visit, also do not have to spend money, if someone visited the words, support how many people, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people can, This is the value that cloud CDN can provide for mobile developers.
