Cloud computing toddlers need to see the market

Cloud computing standards are immature, and not even in the first phase, it takes time to evolve. "The Dietch of HP Cloud solutions and infrastructure marketing is somewhat frustrating compared to the hot industry status of server rentals and cloud computing."

There is little likelihood of a standard unification

"Cloud computing standards are still in the early stages, and now the companies involved are more or less of their own standards, so that they all follow a standard, the possibility is very small." "BROCADE (Brocade) Vice President John McHugh frankly.

The discussion of cloud computing standards has been a long-standing issue, and cloud computing has been hotly debated as an important theme in the Spring 2011 Asia-Pacific Media Summit in Malaysia. Whether it's Tata Telecom, HP, Cisco or Alcatel-Lucent, the new and old faces of cloud computing are keen to showcase their ideas and products to the media. But when it comes to standards, it seems evasive.

The lag in standards of cloud computing is also associated with the absence of a formal cloud-computing alliance or organizational system push. However, the flight network learned that there are already a number of agencies have begun to work on cloud-related standards. It is understood that in recent years the International Standard organization DMTF (distributed Management Working Group) cloud Management Working Group is working on cloud interoperability standards. Huawei, which has just released its cloud-computing strategy earlier this year, has become the 14th board member of DMTF after AMD, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and IBM to participate in cloud computing standards.

Zhangjing, head of Bollen Asia Pacific, also holds the same view that cloud computing is still a long time away from mass popularity, and operators, although they have applications, are very cautious in their actual deployments, considering standards and security issues, and are currently providing only a few of the regional private clouds.

The biggest challenge is the lack of market awareness

At this summit, there is also a very interesting phenomenon of server leasing: Participants generally believe that the most problem of cloud computing is technology, and the external challenges are many.

Amit Sinharoy, from Tata Communications, says the biggest challenge for cloud computing is how to get the market right, and cloud computing companies must learn to "educate" the market. This view is clearly not just Tata Communications.

BROCADE (Brocade) Vice President John McHugh revealed that the company has invested 100 million of dollars in the Asia-Pacific region for user training and product demonstrations, "education" users accept the emerging technology trend of cloud computing.

And as a strategic product of Tata's communications, cloud computing has been heavily funded in recent years. According to Tata's plan, the entire Tata group's cloud computing revenues will reach 2~2.5 billion in the next 3-4 years, and in 2010 Tata Telecom's global annual revenue will be no more than $2.4 billion trillion.

Asked why the region invested heavily, Johnmchugh explained that the Asia-Pacific region as an emerging market, the user to accept new technologies, the traditional IT facilities in Europe and the United States have been relatively perfect, the cost of accepting new technology is higher. According to Johnmchugh forecast, in the next few years the Asia-Pacific region cloud computing market growth rate will be faster than Europe and the US region 50%.
