Cloud computing moves from competition to concurrence

For the 2013 first half of the cloud computing market, the heat is not reduced but there are few hot spots. In a thin look, the real big event only remembers Microsoft Windows http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13357.html ">azure to the Chinese user to open this one, not only for Microsoft's" broken Ice "applauded, It is a sense of excitement: the future, including Amazon, Google, including many cloud computing "big shot" can follow the "curve Save the Way" in China roots, which is still very encouraging.

Near the middle of the year, this thought is the case, but the sudden was a few things to be intimidated. First, Microsoft announced that the Office 365 cloud service users can use Office on the iOS device for free, followed by the "Proud, belligerent" Oracle and Microsoft, Salesforce.com to achieve two cloud computing cooperation. Oracle's collaboration with Microsoft is that some applications, including Oracle Jave and databases, can run on Windows Server, Hyper-V, and Windows Azure platforms , with Salesforce.com, for 9 years, the applications, platforms and infrastructure of both companies will be consolidated.

In a bloody cloud computing market, cloud computing vendors in addition to kill a life-and-death, actually began to cooperate, began to hold a regiment. It's always been the battle between Microsoft and Apple over the end system, and Windows 8 has spared no effort to capture the smartphone and tablet market, and business applications such as the lack of office on iOS have always been Apple's pain.

And for Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce.com Three, love hate entanglements not to talk about. Bill Gates and Ellison have always been old friends; in the cloud computing market, ambitious Oracle has long regarded Amazon and Salesforce.com as their real rivals, Ellison confirmed at last year's Oracle Global Congress.

Why are the cloud makers starting to compete? On the one hand, openness, sharing, equality has always been the gene of cloud computing, if you ostensibly to the user to promote a cloud of the ideal country, secretly but also playing their own abacus infighting, its persuasive will be greatly compromised.

On the other hand, there is no forever friend, only the eternal interests, this is the reason why we are moving towards cooperation. Competition and partnerships have always been intertwined in the areas of PC, Smartphone, software, and server, as is the case with the cloud market.

Do you really think that Microsoft's collaboration with Oracle is "stupid"? Microsoft's trick is to use Oracle's cooperation against rival Amazon. Be aware that Windows Azure is one of the biggest competitors for Amazon Web Services.

From the next six months of the cloud computing industry trends, more cooperation, win the open, inclusive selectivity will replace either or two, and the beneficiaries, is always the user.
