Cloud computing industry is becoming a climate cloud application "landing Blossom"

2006 Google proposed the concept of cloud computing, after several years of growth and experience, cloud computing has become a hot spot in the IT industry. Its global approach, major telecom operators, telecommunications equipment, Internet service providers, software developers have embarked on research and development or the introduction of cloud computing technology products and services.

2011 is a landmark year for the cloud computing industry and a more mature year for cloud computing technology. Cloud computing in China is no longer the industry's internal concept, but has "landed on the ground", gradually entered our work and life.

Cloud computing New Application frequency

Cloud computing, that is, in the new era of the Internet, all the PC and other terminals in the data and computing power stored in the cloud, is a new type of data center. As a technology trend, cloud computing spans it, the Internet and other fields, through the entire industry chain, providing a new way of information production, consumption and service. With the rise of cloud computing, 2011 Domestic industries are striving to seize the cloud opportunity.

China's three major telecom operators with strong technical and financial strength, to promote the development of cloud computing. The first to force the number of China Telecom, August 2011, China Telecom launched the sky-wing cloud computing strategy, brand and solutions, into the domestic release of cloud computing strategy and solution of the first telecommunications operator. The same year in early December, China Telecom announced the investment of 12 billion building cloud computing park, divided into two phases to build a cloud computing center as one of the "China Telecom Cloud Computing Information Park" base. October 2011, Huang, dean of China Mobile Communications Research Institute, said its own "big cloud" 1.5 has been completed development, including massive data management and analysis of the 5 major product areas. China Unicom, in October 2011, China Unicom invested 4 billion yuan to start building 180,000 servers in the western Data center, will provide cloud computing services.

It vendors have also entered the cloud-computing camp. Huawei, after the "Cloud Sail Plan 2011", in early November 2011, also released the "Cloud Sail Plan 2012", and for the first time to identify the three major Huawei Cloud strategy: A large platform, to promote business and application of the cloud, open and win. Huawei has implemented the scale of cloud computing solutions in telecommunications, government, healthcare and many other industries. ZTE also stared at Cloud technology, leading the informal interest group on cloud computing to become the first vendor to set up a cloud standards team in IETF standards. In addition, the internet giant Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and other enterprises are struggling to chase cloud computing ...

Cloud computing is poised to flourish

Kevin Tena, Microsoft's chief operating officer, claims that the advent of "cloud technology" has ushered in a third it wave in the world. Cloud computing technology as a new generation of scientific and technological information technology change power, has become the domestic and foreign software and information industry, one of the focus of attention.

The idea of cloud computing is to enable users to use IT services, like electricity and water, to lower the threshold for enterprise users and public users to use IT services. Cloud computing will transform the business model of IT services and open up a vast market space. The Chinese cloud computing market will reach 60.678 billion yuan by 2012, according to the White Paper on China's cloud computing industry, released earlier by Sadie's consultant. During 35, China's cloud computing industry chain scale can reach 750 billion to 1 trillion yuan.

At present, whether Microsoft, Google or Huawei, Baidu, both at home and abroad are talking about cloud computing, are yearning for it will bring good market prospects. According to the GARTNER2009-2011 Global ten Strategic Technical Analysis report, by 2012, 80% of global multinational enterprises will use cloud computing services in different ways, 20% of enterprises will no longer have any IT hardware assets.

After 2011 years of rapid development, 2012 will have more and better cloud computing applications in all aspects of society and industry. "China's cloud computing development can be divided into three stages, first from 2008 to 2010, this stage belongs to the incubation period, 2011-2015 belongs to the growth period, after 2016 is the maturity stage," Sun Hui, vice president of Sadie, said recently. As the new engine of China's transformation and upgrading, cloud computing is expected to enter into a breakout period within 3-5 years. "In the next few years, the domestic cloud computing application will appear blowout situation."

Rational development of cloud computing

The concept of cloud computing is in the ascendant, but the battlefield is already smoke. Overseas has Google, Amazon and other information giants, the domestic Huawei, ZTE, Baidu and so on. All sides are trying to seize the lead in the new markets brought about by cloud computing technology.

The enthusiasm for cloud computing is not just a business, but the government is also lofty. In China, in October 2010, the Ministry of Industry and the NDRC jointly issued the "on the implementation of cloud computing Services Innovation Pilot Demonstration work of the notice", Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Wuxi five cities as pilot demonstration city. After one year, the National Development and Reform Commission led, the joint Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Finance and other three ministries set aside 1.5 billion yuan, as the national strategic Emerging Industries Cloud Model Project special funds, focus on promoting domestic cloud computing industry development, support cloud leader enterprises. Alibaba, Tencent, east China computer, and many other enterprises shortlisted.

At present, Beijing has "Xiangyun plan", Shanghai has a "Sea of Clouds Plan", Guangzhou has "Sky Cloud Plan", Chongqing has "cloud plan", Ningbo has "Nebula plan" ... Many provinces and regions of our country have been "clouds blossoming."

However, when we are all interested in investing in development, the hidden worries are also gradually highlighted, the development of cloud computing needs rational support. It is understood that the Ministry of Telecommunications Economic Experts committee honorary chairman, the original Ministry of Information Industry Minister Jichuan pointed out that many places even the concept of cloud computing, the role is not clear, hurried cloud base is a waste, the first to the next generation of the Internet, things networking, cloud computing These concepts have more accurate understanding.

First of all, compared with the advanced development of cloud computing technology, our country has the characteristics of heavy construction and light application, so perhaps our country should focus more on the application of cloud computing, innovation and so on, vigorously support the development of cloud computing enterprises, avoid duplication of construction and waste of resources. Secondly, the unification of cloud computing standards has become a bottleneck in development. At present, China's government, telecommunications operators, large enterprises are actively promoting the development of cloud computing, but there is no top-level design standards, the construction is still fragmented, which leads to difficulties in the use of synergies and other issues, does not meet the cloud computing to maximize the sharing of resources, flexible use of characteristics. Therefore, one of our urgent tasks is to study its common problems and to promote the standard to ensure the quality of cloud services, the only way to help cloud computing industry health, large-scale development.

2011, the domestic cloud computing has made great strides in the development of the future will gradually usher in a vigorous development. As an important change of information technology, cloud computing has brought more development opportunities for all parties in the information industry chain and brought challenges. Only by recognizing the situation, acting rationally, actively innovating and devoting ourselves to new applications can we truly exert our potential to benefit the community.
