Cloud computing: "Bottlenecks" need to be cracked

In the past two years, more than 20 provinces and cities in the country scramble to develop "cloud computing" industry, and related planning is generally relatively simple, industrial layout is more similar, many bottlenecks need to be cracked, especially in the "cloud application" aspect still need extensive exploration and practice.

"Cloud computing" surging

The reporter learned that, alone in Inner Mongolia, since 2011, the autonomous Region capital Hohhot, the region's largest industrial city Baotou, the country's first major coal production city Eerduosi, as well as Beijing, "after the garden" Chifeng and other areas, have a big "cloud" article, it seems that overnight prairie become cloud computing "paradise".

The sudden "cloud" to make ordinary people "fog in the Sky", and the industry generally believe that cloud computing and populated, temperature appropriate, power resources rich in the Inner Mongolia is the joint win. First of all, cloud computing base operation requires a large amount of electricity, can make Inner Mongolia thermal power digestion, effectively reduce the pressure of coal and external power transmission difficulties, at the same time, can attract well-known public cloud enterprises into the IT industry to provide opportunities for development, in addition, it is expected to accelerate the integration of local informatization And will lead to the development of new service state.

At present, the Inner Mongolia by virtue of the capital from Beijing closer, day and night the advantage of large temperature difference, has attracted China Mobile, China Unicom, the three major telecom operators have come to settle, the region has started construction of the cloud computing key projects have 11, investment scale of more than 55 billion yuan.

However, Inner Mongolia is not a complete opportunity. It is understood that nearly two years of the National cloud computing industry "grab position" development, has more than 20 provinces and cities announced the development of cloud computing industry planning.

The "bottleneck" needs to be cracked

People think that the development of cloud computing industry, including Inner Mongolia, is still facing many problems, still need to solve the bottleneck.

Chen Lili, honorary chairman of Hohhot Association of Science and Technology, said that the current national many places in the intensive construction of "cloud industry", mutual competition makes some of the original advantages caused by shocks and pressure. For example, some resources to join, leading to cloud computing services prices are increasingly similar, making Inner Mongolia low-cost advantage is no longer obvious.

Chen Li believes that the cloud computing industry has just started, all over the face of many problems.

Lack of overall planning. For example, Inner Mongolia is currently lack of the region-wide cloud computing development planning, the Union City, the telecom operators of their respective planning and construction, different standards of cloud computing technology architecture and Application mode, will affect the future of cloud computing base interconnection. At the same time, can also lead to duplication of construction, resource waste, equipment idle and so on.

The combination of development and application is not enough. At present, all over the development of cloud computing, busy data center hardware construction, but for it can provide what kind of service, how can with individual, household consumption, how to combine with local economic and social development needs, the idea is not clear. All over the future business model, management model lack of mature consideration. For example, which cloud should be paid by the Government, which should be funded by the government, which is funded by enterprises or individuals, as well as how the use of the cloud to maintain the maintenance, how the distribution of revenue, such as the allocation of a series of public cloud financing operation mode problems still need to be resolved.

The issue of "cloud security" remains a key constraint in its development. At present, many public cloud construction enterprises and most private cloud enterprise users are still worried about the use of cloud computing. Cloud computing itself also faces some unique technical bottleneck problems, such as the privacy of data, transmission bottlenecks, unpredictable performance, scalable storage capabilities, etc. need to break through. How to buy a commercial operation is also an important problem affecting the development of cloud computing.

Cloud computing regulation is still relatively scarce. such as cloud storage business security, need to be bound by law, but also need third-party agencies to help enterprises to the cloud computing business audit, and currently China has not made detailed provisions.

Grabbing a bit of "cloud application" is the key

Experts said that the development of cloud computing industry across the country face the same problems, the face of "surging" of the "climate", the key is to find new advantages everywhere, promote the "Cloud Application", on the basis of practice gradually improve the industrial shape. Who can "grab a bit" development, who is the winner of the future.

At present, all localities need to do a good job in industrial planning, identify development priorities, identify strategic steps at different stages, establish good market expectations and policy environment, avoid duplication of construction and create bubbles, and find the local characteristics, the provinces and municipalities to their development direction to be integrated and division of labor, For example, where to engage in government clouds and public cloud-oriented cloud computing data center, where suitable for the national hub-type cloud computing industry base, where suitable for industrial software and software services as the focus of the cloud computing base, where suitable for cloud computing data backup center, etc., must carry out systematic analysis, careful planning Pave the way to the national and even the global land cable channel, to ensure the high-speed flow of information, forming a cluster effect.

Some people think that the development of cloud computing industry, also should not blindly play resource Advantage card. In order to attract the cloud computing industry settled in the early stage, we should cultivate and enlarge the market demand, form the talent superiority and the regional industry agglomeration as soon as possible, form the application-oriented and innovation-driven development mode, and quickly set up cloud computing application Industrial cluster and industry chain.

First of all, to cloud computing application-oriented, by building a cloud computing platform in one or several typical industries and providing cloud computing services, the application of cloud computing to industrial design, energy conservation and environmental protection, new drug development, meteorological analysis, geological hazard prediction, Internet applications, software development and simulation simulation and other areas to expand.

At the same time, to enhance the ability of independent innovation, and as a strategic basis for the development of cloud computing industry, pay attention to promote the cloud computing industry related system innovation, research and development innovation, technology innovation and application innovation, open up new business opportunities, the formation of a better high-end talent environment, higher industrial agglomeration, more perfect and mature ecological and a wide range of industrial radiation coverage, continue to drive the integration of all sectors of the industrial chain, to promote the incubation of new industries to provide vitality and new space for industrial development.

In addition, in the initial stage, we can choose an important public service as a pilot, set up the Electronic government service cloud platform for the whole society, explore the problems and experiences of cloud computing application in the process of construction and operation, and lead and drive the numerous development of cloud computing industry.

Experts believe that cloud computing has broken the concept of geography, the contradiction between the resource's cross-regional storage and localized supervision will be further highlighted. How to do well in the communication and coordination between different regions in the aspects of network resource storage, resource sharing and network security supervision and so on, also needs the reasonable plan of the national level.
