"Cloud computing" opens new blueprint for information industry

Cloud computing, as a hot topic in the world, has become the strategic direction of the future information industry development and an important engine to promote economic growth, which not only provides new impetus for the change and innovation of the information industry, but also provides a great opportunity for the upgrading of traditional industries and the development of emerging industries. Experts pointed out that the global cloud computing boom will give birth to a new blueprint for the information industry, for domestic enterprises to provide a rare opportunity for development, the industry should be timely layout, scientific planning, in the new round of global cloud computing industry competition to seize the commanding heights of the market.

The third wave of information technology in the world

Cloud computing is a new networked computing model based on virtualization technology and paid on demand for business model, flexible expansion, dynamic allocation and resource sharing. As an important part of the next generation information technology industry, it is regarded as the third information technology wave after personal computer and internet, which will cause the fundamental change of the global information industry business model.
Since August 2006, when Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive, first proposed the concept of "cloud computing" at the search engine conference, the recent five-year cloud computing has become a hot and future trend in the field of information construction, driven by the efforts of major IT giants around the world.

Globally, big companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Yahoo are the pioneers of cloud computing. Amazon opened a service called "Resilient Computing Cloud" to developers in 2007, allowing small software companies to buy Amazon data center processing power on demand. Google, the most-used user of cloud computing, announced a cloud plan globally in October 2007. IBM launched the "Blue Cloud" computing platform in November 2007 to provide customers with the cloud computing platform to buy. August 2008, IBM announced the $3. 600 million of dollars in the U.S. North Carolina State to build a cloud computing data center, but also in Tokyo to build a new agency to help users use the cloud computing infrastructure.

After the first two years of universal education and market warming, nearly a year of cloud computing began to gradually usher in large-scale development stage. At the same time, the global cloud computing industry chain gradually formed, the formation of software and hardware platform providers, system integrators, service providers, application developers of the industrial structure, the value chain in the downstream parts have their own representative groups. In the face of cloud computing, the unlimited business opportunities, the major cloud computing enterprises compete to launch their own products and services, began in the cloud computing market implementation of "happy enclosure" movement. This April, IBM released cloud computing software SmartCloud for large enterprises. To help large enterprises to make some of the business Internet. Dell announced that it would invest more in services, solutions and cloud-based delivery operations, with a budget of $1 billion trillion for this fiscal year. Apple's June launch of the online storage cloud service icloud, the original Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself on the stage to introduce icloud, and called it Apple's "next great vision." Intel set up two research centers for cloud computing and embedded computing in August at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States.

National government agencies have also spared no effort to push the cloud industry forward. At present, including the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries have to promote cloud computing into the country's overall development strategy. As early as September 2009, the U.S. government announced a long-term cloud computing policy, the White House in the 2010 budget application document in the United States to promote the U.S. government's technical infrastructure of important technology. In October 2009, Britain First published the Digital UK report, which made it clear that the Government should establish a unified "government cloud". The European Commission announced in May this year that the development and promotion of cloud computing technology has been included in the European 2020 strategy and is an important component of the "European digital agenda". Japan has so far released a cloud-computing national strategy and set up a cloud-computing zone in early 2010, and the Japanese Ministry of Interior and Communications regulators are also setting up a massive cloud-computing infrastructure that is expected to be completed by 2015 to support all of the government's technology systems for the information it needs to operate. South Korea has also announced a comprehensive plan for the development of cloud computing, and the South Korean government has decided to invest about 3.6 billion yuan in cloud computing before 2014 to boost cloud computing. May 11 This year, the South Korean government said that in order to allow South Korea to become the world's cloud computing power as of 2015, will amend the relevant legal system, the formation of public Sector cloud computing Center, and the implementation of strengthening international competitiveness and other policies.

In the industry's view, cloud computing has become the focus of global attention and hot, because cloud computing as a new generation of information technology changes in the core, will change the CPU, storage, server, terminal, operating system and application software of the entire information industry chain, and create a trillions of of dollars of innovative industries. It makes information technology simpler, easier to use, and makes the cost of knowledge penetration significantly lower, enabling people to better acquire and utilize knowledge and better support work and life.

"In the context of economic recovery, the role of it in business and competitiveness is beginning to regain focus, and cloud computing is also a key factor driving this trend." The current report by IDC, a research institute, says most it work can be done in the form of infrastructure, platform, and "Application as a service" in the cloud model. It is expected that with the maturing of the cloud service delivery model, a higher level of work (including business processes, consulting, design, and management) will also implement the cloud service delivery model.
