China's cloud computing platform opens to the king

Absrtact: The sharing of resources continues to be the most desirable ideal in cloud computing after the internet age. For cloud computing three kinds of services, the most important is the opening and sharing of resources. While it is understandable that some of the content of national security and personal privacy is not shared, more and more resources are shared and the trend of cloud computing is growing.

Domestic official investment in cloud computing, mainly reflected in the major cloud computing base to invest in the construction of the data center. But this is only the basis for developing cloud computing, the behavior of traditional hardware makers such as Intel and Hewlett-Packard. The real initiative in cloud computing development is not in the hands of infrastructure providers. The development of cloud computing is not the development of real estate, investment in the construction of data center is indispensable in the development of cloud computing, but not the core of the development of cloud computing.

Characteristics of China's cloud computing platform

First of all, Sina's SAE, the name is a little Chinese characteristics. Because Google's app already in the industry. Of course, the SAE has managed to provide a stable, fast, transparent, and controllable service platform for app developers, while reducing developer and maintenance costs. But in the record, policy, combined with domestic situation, still need Sina to do a good job of balance.

In the cloud computing platform of Chinese IT vendors, there is little to do with Google and Amazon as models. But for the opening of this feature is enough to digest, even if the internet black Widow Tencent has gradually opened its own API in the post-war period of 3Q, it seems that everyone has tasted the sweet fruit open to invigorate and small and medium-sized developers have opened their arms. But in the area of cloud computing security and adaptation to the country's specific environment, China's cloud computing platform appears to be lacking in perfect conditions. As for the cloud computing platform standard setting, in China has become the multifaceted, the brave first got, became unable to cover the coffin conclusive mystery, is still the woman said that the woman is reasonable, the public said that the public rational effect.

As for Ali Cloud computing platform, even in May 2010 suffered a defeat of Waterloo, announced its Internet platform closed. Because of the small and medium-sized enterprises personalized requirements can not adapt, at the same time the lack of familiarity with the platform service business caused the defeat of Ali platform. But with the distinguished example of his predecessor, Amazon, Alibaba, the same-born E-commerce, continues to hope to play its own world on the platform, the service.

Of course, the features of the platform are first and foremost open. An open platform loses its meaning. But a good platform, its elements more than that.

A responsible platform provider, be sure to provide developers or users with three key elements, including openness, security, and the cloud platform to meet the standards.

The significance of the platform lies in opening

Platform, as the name suggests, between developers and users to build a bridge between the two, to play a connecting role. If infrastructure, or service, is the foundation of cloud computing, the platform is built on the foundation of the house, is the real place for the industry. Master the platform in order to occupy the initiative in the era of cloud computing. Platform is the king.

Platform as a service refers to the use of a complete infrastructure platform, including application design, application development, application testing and application hosting, and these resources as a service to customers. The market's participants are mainly Google app, Microsoft Azure and so on.

Google's platform, Google app, has now become an industry model, and its openness has been the same as textbook content. Virtualization of applications across multiple servers and data centers is a platform-service standard that has also been emulated by Chinese peers. App's basic services eliminates many system-managed operations to scale up to millions of accesses. Google handles a set of code and, if necessary, develops application instances.

Windows Azure is a cloud computing operating system developed by Microsoft that provides the operating system and underlying storage and management platform needed for cloud online services, one of the core components of Microsoft's cloud computing, and part of Microsoft's online services strategy.

Amazon, which once owned a niche in early cloud computing by EC2 's efficient operations, launched the Amazon App Store, and the earliest infrastructure, the service provider, began to turn to the platform, the service. Before this, the traditional software namely service provider Salesforce.com also launched its own platform, namely service Force.com, began to take root down the operation. The platforms we see are both upstream and downstream of services that are developing toward this middle tier. And Google, with its own spirit of open development of the Android system and app early in this field rooting. But China has yet to see results in the platform-service sector. Companies including Alibaba You You have already shown their involvement in the field, but the real results are still unclear.

The wide application of cloud computing will fundamentally change the way of information acquisition and knowledge dissemination, promote the transformation of information industry such as infrastructure operation and software to service, and give birth to a new type of service industry integration. For example, the cooperation with the telecommunications industry, or with the hosting of the cooperation of more bearer is how to bring the cloud services quickly into China. Cooperation with ISVs is how to provide more online services on the cloud platform.

Open, nature is the biggest keyword in the internet age. There is no internet without openness. Google's position in today's internet era is rooted in its openness to technology and business. It is Google's first proposed concept of cloud computing. The domestic also has Baidu such old Google rivals to cloud computing show full disdain, and self-righteous according to gourd painting ladle put forward a box calculation to fight against it. But today, the vast number of it vendors have to talk about cloud computing and nowhere to search the shadow of the box calculation.
