Clear positioning of cloud computing base can be better developed

Earlier, there have been rumors that a number of cloud bases in the fierce competition between the price of customers-a cloud base in Jiangsu, a cloud computing node rental price is 7 yuan/day, adjacent to Anhui is 6 yuan/day, and Inner Mongolia even low to 3.8 yuan/day. This competition has initially shown the consequences of low-level duplication.

Cloud computing in China is carried out in full swing, all over the country in gets, all the base is unwilling to be outdone, want to in the cloud computing this fertile soil in a firm footing. This makes people feel somewhat worried, there are so many cloud computing base in the whole country, whether will have more base to fall into above price war.

In fact, the characteristics of cloud computing itself has provided a huge value-added space for each cloud base to make its own characteristics. First, cloud computing has three tiers of architecture, including IaaS, PAAs, and SaaS, and cloud computing bases can provide competitive services based on local characteristics. The level of competition in IaaS is essentially the competition in energy prices and infrastructure operation. In my opinion, Inner Mongolia is located in high latitudes, low temperature reduces the data center of the heat costs, low energy costs and further reduce the data center operation costs, so in providing IAAS services have the innate advantages-each node 3.8 yuan per day price, is not so easy to achieve. Another example of success in providing IAAS services is the moist science park at Langfang, Hebei, they aspire to be the largest cloud storage base in Asia, and have reached a strategic partnership with some local cloud bases, where the signing of the cloud base will deploy storage to the equipment of the technology park The scale effect superimposed on the foundation construction will also become one of the core advantages of the moist science park.

But overall, if all of the cloud computing base is located in the IaaS level, the final result will be blood, resulting in a great waste of social resources. "In the current cloud system, more than 90% of what is being done is to build a technology platform, but the broad success of various cloud computing bases in China, can not only build IaaS platform this mode." In fact, cloud computing in the PAAs and SaaS has a huge space, the cloud computing platform is inclusive and scalable, so that it has unlimited application possibilities. This possibility and objective market demand docking, can catalyze the market demand cloud base. More generally speaking, cloud computing is like a group of flour, each chef (cloud base) can be based on local characteristics, processing, make bread, noodles, cakes ... To meet the different needs of people in taste. "Shanxi and Shaanxi have a lot of coal mines, including many small and medium-sized coal enterprises, and a considerable part of them do not have enough technical force to build, maintain and operate a country-required IT system." "From this perspective, there may be a lot of market space to build a coal industry cloud in this area," said Wang Jingji, IBM's chief consulting expert on cloud computing. ”

On the other hand, the industry cloud Market outlook is relatively optimistic. From the industrial law, all over the country also easy to form a variety of industrial clusters, in the industrial cluster to provide end-to-end full set of cloud computing services, constitute a complete industry cloud, is also very valuable things. such as Suning, gome such large retail channels, they have tens of thousands of home appliances enterprises, the next touch of millions of end customers, their own turnover of more than billions of dollars, if they build a supply and demand cloud platform for home appliances, obviously can greatly facilitate the suppliers, users, as well as users of the business needs. However, the whole industry in the chain of clouds, often involves a variety of applications, and this is a manufacturer can not cover, which means that the need to cooperate and build. "Jiangsu has nearly 300 universities, and all need to have enrollment management, teaching management, book management, employment Management, donation management ... And so on many links, these all have the very big commonness. "There is no school information system that can cover all the links, and many universities don't have enough budget to build the system," Wang Jingji, citing the Jiangsu Education Cloud Project. More importantly, the cooperative mechanism between schools is easy to accept. ”

It is reported that the Jiangsu Education cloud platform by operators to promote the use of operators to the province's top 10 universities issued invitations to participate in the construction, the various universities to contribute to a good application, hosted into the cloud platform, to achieve the platform before the large application. This pattern, on the one hand, experts in the industry to write applications, reduce the platform operation cycle, on the other hand, at the beginning of the implementation, there has been a relatively complete chain, can meet the needs of various schools; at the same time, because many universities participate in the construction, and some of the applications are repeated, This also objectively promotes the competition between the different applications, thus the application carries on the unceasing optimization development, causes each link mature, the specialized development to the extreme.

Some experts say that before cloud computing, we are based on the mode of the enterprise or department of the model to build applications, cloud computing applications after the application of the industry. Cloud computing in the industry's support platform quickly emerged, will gradually form in this industry monopoly. In the future of IaaS, the Red Sea competition and industry cloud can expect lucrative profits between the smart you should know what choice to make. I also hope that, beyond the IaaS platform, I hope to have more Chinese cloud base to find their own positioning, mining out the different aspects of cloud computing applications, real cloud computing in the vast land of China.
