Cloud computing: Blind and crazy investment business prospects worrying

A year ago, since the launch of the "Sea of Clouds" in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Ningbo has also launched the "Xiangyun Plan", "Sky Cloud Plan", "Kun Cloud Plan", "Cloud Plan" "Nebula Plan." At the same time, it giants have started to layout their own cloud industry, such as Google based on its own advantages of cloud search, IBM said their cloud computing is virtual machine + remote access, Microsoft says cloud + End computing is the highest, Amazon cloud computing simply do is networked storage ...

Crazy, is the cloud! Just because cloud computing is still a concept, a big investment doesn't bother you at all. The reason, "cloud computing, the country's future information strategy in an indispensable part of" the national tone has been set, speed is the opportunity, even if the vision does not see the front, even if the business model to be determined, all follow the policy walk, blind self-confidence mutual infection.

Statistics show that the current by the Chinese local government-led construction of cloud computing industry base, the number of the current close to 20, the development of the idea of a serious homogenization: the establishment of data Center Park, build information platform, gather more IT software enterprises to form a perfect IT industry chain, so as to create more information service innovation model To promote local economic benefits.

Clearly, the visionary business prospects of local governments are derived from the connectivity and reciprocity of cloud services firms. In fact, the existing cloud platform is really able to play its ideal state of effectiveness, yet to be validated, how to operate, there is no successful precedent to speak. "We are sure of innovation and tolerance of failure in innovation, but the pilot operation and the scale of the herd must be different, the government, enterprises, the huge cost of how to recover, is worrying." Industry experts commented.

In addition, for the local government's cloud plan, the enterprise also has not sold the account. such as it giant Microsoft. Recently, Microsoft officially launched the OFFICE365 Cloud computing Office software set in 40 markets around the world, but mainland China is not listed in the above market. A Microsoft engineer says it is mainly because Microsoft does not have its own data center in China. Cloud computing data centers do not have to occupy very large venues, the domestic so-called "data center Park" cost is not attractive to foreign companies. At present, all over the cloud computing platform, overcapacity is self-evident.

It is time for the government to rethink, the enterprise calm, experts, media tracking analysis:

Ying, Deputy Director of Software Services Division, Ministry of Industry and Information technology, said that the current local cloud computing Center for the procurement of hardware and software products used more foreign products, and some data centers are still in the business model groping period of idle state, all over the investment should avoid overheating and blindly follow the phenomenon.

Wang Yuquan, chief advisor, said that if the industry was commercialized enough, the government would be able to speed up the establishment of industry standards, but at the start of the industry, it would be government-led, and there would be overcapacity and a serious lack of commercial sophistication.

The 21st century Economic report said that because of the lack of a matching business model, some of the domestic so-called cloud computing operations center, even the electricity costs are not back, and some so-called cloud computing projects in the circle of large tracts of land, disguised as a real estate project. At present, all over the building of cloud computing centers, mostly by the government-led land building, and then buy back piles of hardware. And some big multinational companies, in the name of cloud computing, sell their expensive hardware products.

The 2011 "China Cloud computing Industry Development White Paper" said: "Large-scale cloud computing center in the name of industrial real estate to develop cloud computing, this road will not go too long, to find a typical application, find business model, from the user layer to truly drive the development of the industry, this model is the King of cloud development.

More than words, the first start of the "Sea of Clouds Plan" in Shanghai once again pilotage: a year ago in Shanghai, shouting the cultivation of more than 10, annual sales revenue of more than 1 billion yuan cloud enterprises, driving the information technology industry new business income more than 100 billion. For now, Shanghai is gearing up to set standards for cloud computing, which it finds "very narrow". This means that some plausible companies wearing cloud-computing hats want to enter the cloud base to get government subsidies, may be a bubble. But this time the standards and supervision can be wildly spread to more innovative, more practical measures to make up for the mistakes of the blind.
