Cloud computing: An alarming or a rise in the ladder?

Technology is changing and time is in a hurry. With Microsoft, SAP, IBM, Salesforce and other foreign well-known internet companies into China, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, 800 guests and other domestic internet companies finally hold not live, both Chinese and foreign sides rattling, smoke, like siege. Why? Not because of "the cloud"! Reader may ask, cloud can shade, cloud can block rain, what cloud can bring to enterprise?

Today's "cloud" is no longer only traditional meaning, but represents a landmark "cloud computing." As the hottest concept of the day, cloud computing is like the surf of the Internet waves, rushing forward in constant flushing.

The white Paper on China's cloud computing industry predicts that China's cloud computing market will reach 60.678 billion trillion yuan by 2012.

Foreign countries to seize the "cloud initiative", NASA and including Rackspace, AMD, Intel, Dell and other manufacturers jointly announced that the cloud computing software "OpenStack" into the open source program;

Domestic internet giants are not to be outdone, even the NDRC also increased investment efforts, began to focus on promoting such as Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and other domestic key cloud computing industry development.

All of this seems to explain that the concept of "cloud computing", like the American film "Green Lantern", begins to illuminate our shining planet. So, "cloud computing" for enterprises, in the end is a step by step, or can help enterprises to rise?

Speaking of "cloud computing", we have to say what is "cloud computing"? Although the concept of cloud computing is hot, its main embodiment lies in the technical aspect. "Virtual" is the biggest feature of cloud computing.

Typically, cloud computing refers to the delivery and usage patterns of IT infrastructure, the need to access the required resources through the network, and in a broad sense, cloud computing can be a service delivery and usage pattern, which means getting the required services over the network on an as-needed and extensible basis.

Such services can be associated with software and the Internet, or other services. However, the core idea of cloud computing is to manage and dispatch a large amount of computing resources with network connections, thus constituting a pool of computing resources to provide users with the required services.

With a significant increase in convenience and a customized choice of services, these cloud computing unique technical advantages can undoubtedly help businesses and users save a lot of time and resources. And in the cloud computing applications, the most impact on the enterprise of the natural number of CRM (online management software). The SaaS development model of CRM Online services, like springing up in the land of China to flourish.

And global CRM boss Salesforce has long coveted the Chinese market, and once tried to rely on its rich experience and strong technical advantages, to take the Chinese market, a great swallow heaven and earth meaning. But obviously, in China to succeed, brute force alone is not. So after repeated setbacks, Salesforce made a wise choice-a stake of 800 guests.

Whatever the outcome of this investment, the two companies, also guided by the "cloud computing" concept, will play a very good role in the "toddler" stage of China's SaaS market. And this is the enterprise information is a new opportunity and direction. For the creation of enterprise value, to help enterprise Take-off is undoubtedly a good news.

To sum up, the "cloud computing" concept of the main online management services, to better provide enterprises with PAAs (Platform and service) management Automation platform as the core services and Enterprise cloud computing solutions.

There is no doubt that such ideas and strategies, more in line with the needs of enterprises, for the creation of long-term value and increase the potential of the revenue can be a success, but also more in line with the current China has been emphasizing the "sustainable development" goal and policy.

Of course, the value of cloud computing is not just this, what will be the future of innovation and development, let us eagerly hope!
