Cloud computing industry in the past few years is too ignorant, is entirely in the learning stage, and in these two years, obviously can be seen, the foundation in the prison, the application is increasing.

For example, China's cloud computing industry's most dominant and easiest to mature business model is the application related to cloud storage, such as cool disk, Jinshan fast. We have Dropbox this benchmark, there will be many other ideas, such as cloud storage technology based note software Evernote, can be text, video, pictures and other synchronization, in the wireless internet Android, iOS platform can be used, the user experience is good. In fact, this product is a lot of necessary applications to integrate, but I think there is a very good growth.

In the short term, in the cloud storage applications, who can solve the user experience, who will have the opportunity to seize the initiative, sweeping the market, so that more people use is competitiveness. And these startups 2012 years will be the test of the backstage, the user to a certain level, the challenge to the background is very large, China does not have the support of Amazon S3, need to go down to build the backstage, perhaps can not focus on the user experience, this is the paradox facing Chinese entrepreneurs.

As an investment agency, we look at another aspect of cloud computing as a private cloud and a public cloud. Private clouds will be easier to mature, and the public cloud will take longer. The most active representative of the private cloud platform is actually the school, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other suppliers are in cooperation with vendors, and students leave campus, will enter the public cloud category, namely telecommunications infrastructure operators, internet giants, local cloud computing platform, such as the construction of cloud platform, but currently China has not standardized use, but also face surging situation.

In addition, small and medium-sized enterprises with cloud platform has been an inevitable trend, the internet has brought a vibrant small and medium-sized enterprises, they are generally sensitive to cost, the financial applications, internal OA management platform, etc. on the cloud platform, will be a significant cost reduction for them.
