Cloud computing is not the terminator of the storage business

Cloud computing or more like cloud storage is often considered the terminator of the traditional storage industry dominated by disk storage. But promise CEO Li Zhin that the industry is always changing, and there is still a huge market for the disk storage industry. And, anyway, "cloud" is to be stored, in the face of cloud computing, traditional storage vendors to integrate new technologies and accelerate change.

The success of Apple's series has also been well known to the industry's partners, and promise is one of them, making Li Zhin proud that at this year's WWDC, Apple released its new MacBook, which also showcases two Thunderbolt (Lightning) interface products, One is Promise's Pegasus j2--has repeatedly won the "Best Apple External storage Device" award for products.

In addition to this type of consumer-class storage device for ordinary consumers, promise more focus on enterprise-oriented, professional-level storage solutions, and this is where cloud computing is raging, with some people thinking cloud computing, cloud storage and disk storage are incompatible.

But Li Zhin that cloud computing is certainly a trend. In response to this trend, promise is also planning its own future development, to study some future application methods. However, no matter how the cloud development, it needs to integrate a large number of vendors, such as servers, storage, operating systems and so on, storage is a very critical basis, but not a single company can do well, need time to nurture and accumulate. "The fastest way to cut is some application cloud, such as security cloud, railway cloud, education cloud, government affairs cloud, these things will begin to gradually shape and mature." ”

"As a storage vendor, it's good for us, because anyway, ' cloud ' is going to be stored, and in this respect, promise has some specific application cases. "On a global scale, there are not many manufacturers of storage, and promise is one of them." But there are a lot of companies that need to http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14341.html "> Implement cloud Architecture, and they all need storage devices." Li Zhin told reporters: "Therefore, I am not pessimistic." ”

Promise has its own research and development department in Beijing and Shanghai. These research and development departments can provide strong technical support for local applications and partners. "The establishment of these partnerships is not limited to Apple-related products, but also includes digital AV production and video," Li Zhin said. ”

"Promise's Mainland China revenue accounts for around 10% of global revenue, and hopes to do at least 20% to 25% in the next three years." Li Zhin said. The American company, founded by Chinese-Americans, is increasingly focusing on the Chinese market and expanding its business in the areas of video-editing and security.
