The first two years saw an estimated $ 42 billion in cloud computing and cloud services spending, and according to market research firm IDC, the recent U.S. economic crisis has given those companies that invest in cloud computing the promise of future growth that will bring them New interests and prospects. Of course, for those business executives, CIOs and other business leaders, IDC recently said that the skyrocketing spending on IT cloud services has exponentially increased exponentially, due in part to the economic crisis in the United States The wave of global recession created.
Frank Gens, chief analyst and senior vice president of IDC, said in a statement: "The cloud model offers businesses a more economical way of getting IT and using IT, especially in times of economic downturn, which are very much for SMBs Important, and SMEs are also officially the main target of any economic recovery plan. "
According to IDC, in addition to the economic crisis, there are three other market forces driving the overall shift to cloud computing and cloud services, including growth in emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, as well as from these markets Income, as well as the entire SME market. The other two drivers of growth are the lack of traditional ways of helping these new markets grow their IT revenues; and the pressure of competition from those who roll out new cloud-based business and IT models.
Although IDC has a different definition of cloud services and cloud computing, IDC believes there will be substantial growth in both areas. IDC defines cloud services as business and consumer services people use the Internet, and cloud computing is an emerging IT configuration and paradigm that delivers products and services to users over the Internet in real time.
IDC forecasts that cloud computing spending will grow by 25% by 2012 and by 2013 by nearly a third. And by 2012, users spend 10% of their total IT spend on cloud products, including SaaS and cloud storage. He said: "Cloud services will be more used in traditional companies in manufacturing, finance, healthcare, energy, media and other industries that need to better serve existing customers while also gaining access to new customers New growth and higher profits. "
This ultimately and ultimately comes down to driving cloud computing as these services require support from highly scalable, affordable, agile IT infrastructures. As businesses increasingly rely on delivering services to users over the Internet, their demand for servers, storage, IP network infrastructure, and systems management software will also grow.
Cloud computing I still feel a trend, each is not exactly the same, so the description is immature. I think this is a good time. One province in China is equal to one in Europe. Now we have a lot of relatively large information systems. What we need to explore now is whether we can build our own cloud as a province. This piece of cloud can not be given to Google or IBM? How do we build our own cloud? So this is a chance, a good thing but not hype.
Our network system has become a cloud structure, but also very complex, the user's system is very easy to play the advantages of cloud computing. But our big business, government information system, we need attention. For example, major projects can support it, I think the appropriate support is no problem. We need some guidance. New technologies do have some advantages. They are more economical and more efficient. We can start some of the appropriate support, guide, but also to keep up with the trend. The cloud is theoretically new, so the entire application system will change. As we have the opportunity to come up with our program, even if there is a certain application of their own innovation, and finally I think we can set up a special cloud computing committee, you can go to promote the development of cloud computing.
