China's public cloud computing market presents three major characteristics

China's cloud computing services market has reached $320 million trillion in 2010, according to a research report from IDC's latest China cloud computing market. More than 60% of the market is from the application software that is the service (AaaS) market contribution, mainly including the software vendors through the cloud way to provide SMEs with online finance, enterprise management and collaboration applications.

Driven by user needs, the 2010 public cloud computing service providers have developed significantly. 周震刚, China's research manager for cloud computing in China, says the Chinese public cloud computing market presents several notable features:

First, the way China's public cloud computing has become more diversified in the 2010.

More companies are starting to move into the business of public cloud computing. Among them, the Internet enterprises have a wide range of customer base, telecom value-added service providers and Internet data centers have the advantage of infrastructure, the Government computing Center has strong government funding support, while the telecom operators fully grasp the network access level of resources. Various types of suppliers not only carry out fierce competition, but also strengthen cooperation, through complementary advantages to improve their operational capabilities. In addition, multinational IT companies that have advanced technology and operational experience in cloud computing operations have also increased their investment in the Chinese cloud computing market and have cooperated with these types of enterprises.

Second, more government-led public cloud computing projects began to be implemented.

In these projects, the concept of urban cloud is more and more mentioned. IDC has observed that more cities are planning to build a city-wide cloud computing center that covers the city. This kind of cloud computing center will mainly provide computing resources for Government IT application systems. Therefore, the emergence of urban clouds, on the one hand, will encourage local governments to build more coverage, more performance of the cloud Computing Center, on the other hand will attract more software vendors to migrate software to the cloud platform. At the same time, the city cloud will be linked to the internet of things, creating more opportunities. The city-level cloud computing center will be the core of the Internet of things, focusing on the data obtained from each sensor terminal.
