Cloud computing Enterprise-class product innovation mobile application support

IBM recently unveiled a new initiative based on the existing cloud services in the Tivoli Software portfolio, aimed at boosting cloud service performance again, helping companies cope with cloud challenges and providing technical support for the "smart city" landing. IBM's move to focus attention on cloud computing to the enterprise-level market again.

Earlier, an HP survey of people in the IT industry showed that 92% of it executives predicted that cloud computing would become an enterprise-class it base within 5 years, with about 2/3 per cent of those surveyed saying the company planned to use the cloud platform within 3 years. This also means that cloud computing has gained widespread recognition in the enterprise-class market, and it is possible that cloud computing became an enterprise-class it foundation in 2015.

Enterprise-Class product innovation

Cloud computing from a concept to a service, more and more institutions to join the "transition" trend, and as a service carrier of cloud computing how to impress the real users? More and more practical needs call for more and more real cloud computing. To this end, cloud providers continue to innovate in their products to meet new application requirements.

"Cloud computing is an unstoppable trend of it development, and we know that the process of human history development is largely a process of social division of labor, and cloud computing is the product of the data center's entry into the division of specialization that can help IT companies operate more efficiently." Cloud computing's large-scale business will have far-reaching impact on IT industry ecology. "Recently, NEC has brought its IT Operation Management Series Masterscope products to China, NEC (China) Company vice President He Donghui to reporters that Masterscope will be to achieve the overall management of cloud data center as the goal, the implementation of it operation and maintenance of the" three-step "concept, Enterprise-Class It integrated management, IT operations management, IT infrastructure management.

He Donghui said NEC has developed a Masterscope Tengyun plan to force the Chinese enterprise-class cloud computing sector. He said that Masterscope has been in Japan for nearly 20 years of history, product performance is mature, although the recent introduction of Masterscope into China, but already have customers will masterscope series of products applied to key business systems. such as in Guangxi major cities have more than 10 large department stores of the Dream Island Department store, its POS, mail and financial systems are in the head office of the Unified Management, the branch server running POS system, the store in the evening to the sales data to the head office for the summary. In order to ensure that the sales data can be submitted stably and safely, NEC plans to gradually improve the IT operation capability of the Guangxi Dream Island Department Store in the form of "three steps".

Domestic open source software manufacturers Red flag also in the recent introduction of a new version of the server operating system Asianux Server 4, the system will increase the support system for cloud computing needs. It is reported that the main features of the new version of the Asianux performance scalability and wide range of applications, the system to strengthen the requirements of cloud computing characteristics, support a large number of PC servers, storage equipment and network equipment.

According to Jadong, chief executive of the red Flag of China, the products of Hongqi cloud computing platform include the diversified control design of the red Flag Enterprise management platform, Terminology server and application of the integrated Red flag virtual machine Server, guard against the management mechanism of the security operating system and the new mobile car infotainment system. Jadong said: "The launch of the new product is our technology industrialization, market-oriented exploration process, the red flag will be in the field of cloud computing further breakthroughs, the new framework will better meet customer needs." ”

Small and medium-sized enterprises into a larger "blue sea"

"There are now at least 3 types of cloud computing business models that are more explicit. "Sun Huihui, director of the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that one is for small and medium-sized enterprises, with large-scale services as a feature can be called a hypermarket model; a cloud computing service based on government and industry, called a department store model; there is a data center for large enterprises, which can be called Boutique Street

In the opinion of Academician NI of Chinese Academy of Engineering, government policy-making departments, cities and central enterprises will be the main market of cloud computing in China. In the long run, SMEs may be the larger "blue sea" of cloud computing.

39% of small and medium-sized enterprises want to buy more than 1 cloud services within 3 years, according to the 2011 SME Cloud Service Adoption study, released in March this year. The number of SMEs buying cloud services in the next 3 years will grow by nearly 1 time times in most countries, and SMEs will buy an average of 3.3 cloud services in 3 years.

To take advantage of this opportunity, IBM has announced that it will provide 1 billion U.S. dollars to finance eligible SMEs in the next 18 months to help them make full use of a range of new leading technologies, such as analytics tools and cloud computing.

Andy Monshaw, general manager of IBM Global business and industry, said that as information became a new trend, in an increasingly competitive global environment, the viability of SMEs depended heavily on the adoption of new technologies, such as using cloud computing and analytics to quickly get the right information, and use this information to win competitive advantage. IBM's move is aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses get loans more easily and quickly, promoting innovation and boosting growth. "SMEs are an important source of new insights into our economic system and economic growth, and curiosity and new thinking make them stand out." We are now moving out of the shadow of recession and the role of the leader is small and medium enterprises. Andy Monshaw said.

"Small and medium-sized enterprises need cloud computing. Big companies may be less sensitive to the advantages of cloud computing because of their size and strong capital. Cloud computing can save investment in IT infrastructure, and SMEs have more incentive to save costs than large enterprises. He Donghui said that NEC and many local governments in China have been working on cloud computing, and one of the most important links is to serve local SMEs.

Mobile applications are important support

Currently, about 200 million of China's 750 million mobile phone users use smartphones directly online, of which 20 million are 3G users. In front of the huge market of mobile internet, how do Chinese hundreds of millions of end users enjoy the application of cloud? Although the current personal mobile applications dizzying, but enterprise-level mobile applications are still relatively deserted. European and American media Research shows that the current level of enterprise-level mobile applications only 1.0, they are only mobile applications as a part of the enterprise process, not the key application. Enterprise-level mobile application level to achieve a new dynamic 2.0 of the whole, for cloud computing providers, there is a huge effort to space and market space.

"Consumer Trends drive it. "In the days before the tech "Cloud computing is a driving force and an important opportunity for the further rapid development of today's IT industry," said Leung, Microsoft's senior vice president and chairman and chief executive of the Greater China region, at the Microsoft technology Conference, ED 2011. In Microsoft's view, Cloud computing is a "cloud + End" application, not only to have a strong cloud, but also need a strong terminal. The development of Cloud + end is not only embodied in more PC software application platform, but also in smartphone application platform. Instant messaging, network interaction, audio and other services are integrated in a new generation of communication platform, to provide users with more flexible application experience, to help achieve "IT is the service" vision.

"Cloud computing and mobile apps are two golden partners that are radically changing the IT industry. "The Revolution in cloud computing and mobile apps, launched in the consumer-level market, is about to break out in the enterprise-level market," said Rui Xianglin, president of the SAP China Institute. Throughout the history of the IT industry, a new technology is often successful in the enterprise-level market and mature application, will extend to the consumer-level market. The most typical example is the computer, mainframe computers, servers in the enterprise-level market mature application, the PC slowly appear in the consumer market. And now smartphones, tablets are the consumer-level market leading enterprise-level market development. This is evidenced by some of the heyday of the brand, such as Apple, they are in the consumer market to gain a foothold in the supremacy of the status, and then affect the enterprise-level market.

"This is a revolutionary shift. The cloud brings many challenges to it vendors. "Rui Xianglin said that at present the user obtains on the intelligent terminal relatively few services, most is obtains the one-way information or some simple flow. The future of enterprise-class applications, enterprise-class business processes will be mobile applications as the preferred terminal.
