Cloud computing base is accused of burning money investment return debate

Cloud computing, a high expectation of the strategic emerging industries, in addition to the central policy to nurture, the various cloud computing pilot cities are also stepping up the development of industrial planning to compete for the commanding heights of the market. Wang Weijia Wireless chairman, said that this is a trillion yuan large market. However, the cloud computing prospects, the market is noisy, in some places cloud computing into the enclosure movement, Innovation Factory chairman Lee Kai-fu Li (micro-Bo) publicly said that cloud computing in the domestic presence of flicker, said that the cloud can not be fooled in the country may encounter problems. Ministry of Industry Minister Wei also said that many places in China is often millions of new servers, cloud computing industries have a lot of blindness.

In this connection, China's broadband capital chairman Tian said that every change has a weeding situation, some places for the GDP industry park, but cloud computing and electricity prices, and regional close relationship, the next step to see how cloud computing Quweicunzhen, the industry step by step development.

Cloud computing base construction is being swallowed up by an astonishing

It is understood that the main drivers of cloud computing from abroad are IBM, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, the domestic cloud computing main driver is the government departments and telecommunications operators. Sadie's consultancy report shows that China's cloud computing application market will grow from 16.7 billion yuan in 2010 to 117.4 billion yuan in 2013. During 35, cloud computing industry chain can reach 750 billion to 1 trillion yuan.

Zhang, Microsoft's global senior vice president, told Tencent technology that cloud computing would create 13 million new jobs in the next 5 years, especially in China and India, creating more than 8 million new jobs and creating a $1.5 trillion trillion economy.

Cloud computing investment has formed a upsurge in the country, the current state has approved Beijing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Shenzhen, Hangzhou five cities for the cloud computing model city, all over the investment into the scale of the cloud computing center more than 10, in addition, more cities are planning their own "cloud computing" blueprint.

However, under the upsurge, some local government blindness also show, even evolved into enclosure movement. According to reports, located in Hebei province Langfang Moist international information port covers an area of 2010 acres, is Asia's largest cloud computing data center, but started two years, only two data centers under construction, but the growing corn is circled in the project propaganda baffle.

Network Qin CEO Lin Yu (Micro Bo) said that the majority of cloud computing projects are still in the investment phase, but also the quality is not too high duplication of construction. First buy a millions of server to say, but what to do, and did not think well.

Innovation Factory Chairman Kai-Fu Lee said that the cloud could not be fooled in the domestic problem: "How many acres do you need?" No need? How does cloud computing work? You're a platform? We call it the foundation! Service？ Once the land is approved, you do the tertiary industry. Need a developer? Even the developers say wrong! You don't even have real estate developers, how do you do cloud computing? Are you kidding? ”

Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Li DEII also shout, many local governments, although the definition of cloud computing as a strategic emerging industry, but still use the original land requisition, build house and investment, cloud computing into a second real estate.

This also makes the domestic and foreign cloud computing development in sharp contrast. CSDN founder Shantao said that visiting Microsoft's MTC next-generation data center cloud computing in Seattle is not only more energy-efficient, but also has a significant cost reduction, with the case that the cost of the microsoft.com part of the migration to Windows Azure has been reduced by 50%. In fact, Microsoft's cloud computing base covers a small area.

Zhang, Microsoft's global vice-president, responded that cloud computing was not a bluff, but was being fooled at home. Cloud computing is sometimes mystifying, China in the development of cloud computing should follow the laws of industrial development, not government behavior, market behavior, business behavior, cloud computing itself and land does not necessarily link, hope that through the discussion can be more consensus in the industry.

Cloud computing industry needs Quweicunzhen

As China's first concern in the cloud computing industry, China's Broadband Capital chairman, founder partner Tian has the most say. Tian that, in the industrial Revolution, the Industrial Revolution arose in the steam engine, and finally the industry economy led to the invention of electricity, which enabled power to pass. If the mainframe into a steam engine, the cloud is very much like electricity, as simple and ubiquitous as electricity.

Tian said that the change in cloud computing has brought unprecedented opportunities to China. China and the United States are not the same, China's modern culture with traditional it architecture is difficult to solve, including traffic problems, education, medical problems, so in the process is possible to build China's own IT system, and the birth of a new generation based on cloud computing and large data business model.

Based on this view of cloud computing, China's broadband capital has invested in infrastructure over the past 3 years, from chips to servers to a variety of terminal devices. Tian that the next 2-3 years will see the effect of investment now, this change is unstoppable. "I think the IT industry has the benefit of a change every 10 years, and cloud computing is an unprecedented change in 30 years," he said. ”

Tian admits that there are some problems with the current cloud computing industry, and some places are doing industrial parks for GDP, but cloud computing still has a lot of real value. For example, cloud computing has to do with electricity prices, because the cost of energy to the server and storage prices more and more, which is why the next generation of data centers are built to the electricity is very cheap, built at high latitude, can naturally cool.

Inner Mongolia, Harbin, Xinjiang these areas have a large number of coal, coal transport is very difficult to turn coal into electricity, electricity into bits, through optical fiber can be transported out, so cloud computing on China's new industrial layout is a very important opportunity. It is certain that some people use this purpose for business purposes, but every technological change has the opportunity, the key is how to quweicunzhen here, the industry step by step development.

Fortinet founder Xie that cloud computing has changed the structure of the Internet, giving many vendors and users a new opportunity to be more equal, making it possible for China to grow rapidly in the mobile internet, smartphones, smart TVs, and even some areas closer to the user side, and to take a good position in the global arena.

From the cloud computing system structure, each cloud computing center after the construction of how to attract vendors, how to attract customers, this mainly look at two aspects, one is the performance of the price ratio, whose performance, speed is better, the price is relatively cheap, which is related to the central setting. The second is reliable and safe, under the same circumstances whose cloud quality is better, more reliable, the provision of cloud services more trustworthy, so that cloud manufacturers can slowly attract many long-term customers.

Xie that the technology center has been built around the first step, the latter will require quality of service to decide. "We did a survey, many manufacturers put data in the cloud, we are worried about the safety of the above security." So the cloud service provider to let users feel that he provides a more secure services. ”

Xie that cloud computing encountered another problem is: Everyone used to PC, can control a lot of PCs will install anti-virus software, security software, but many of the cloud devices, including the cloud device itself, 90% are not equipped with any protection software. So cloud service providers, including telecommunications service providers to provide a good help, to the cloud concept and platform forward, otherwise the user is afraid to put their very important data on the cloud.

From the industrial chain structure, the user's traditional control of the data constantly on the cloud, need a conversion process. It is an important step to improve the quality of the service during this transformation and to change the user's concern to the cloud.

Technicoler Wu, president of the Greater China region, says cloud computing is not a new concept that has been around for more than 20 of years, with more and more storage requirements for users, higher requirements for storage computing, and lower cost requirements, the next step in cloud computing should turn into cloud services.

Wang Weijia Wireless Chairman said that from the scale of cloud computing if the background infrastructure, software, applications, hardware, the total count, far more than 1 trillion of the value of this big cake from the world down, and to the direction of China, can get the cloud computing this big market cake, will rely on it people's courage and wisdom.
