Competition analysis of cloud computing management strategy of three operators

From the perspective of the technology development of IT industry, cloud computing is an inevitable trend of industrial integration and development. Because of this, the three major domestic operators have to layout cloud computing, launched a cloud computing development strategy, mobile Internet laboratory to try to three operators cloud computing business ideas analysis.

Mobile Internet laboratories believe that the cloud computing industry is a more complex business ecosystem. In this cloud computing ecosystem, there are a variety of professional service providers, including platform providers, system integrators, service providers, application developers and end users.

Legend: Cloud computing is a complex business ecosystem

It is necessary to understand the cloud computing industry from an ecosystem perspective, because it is not easy to understand the importance of ecosystem competitiveness based on a few core vendors for a cloud computing industry with a variety of technical architectures that simply divides them into a technology-providing role. IBM, for example, has a complete solution from server to consulting services, with roles like developers in the Java system, and IBM is a more independent cloud computing ecosystem, whereas for cloud participants based on Google's various infrastructure, Is in the Google Cloud ecosystem.

After recognizing the cloud computing ecosystem, we can look at the operator-driven cloud computing business strategy.

Legend: China Telecom's "Nebula Plan" development strategy

The first concern should be China Telecom's "Nebula Program", which aims to push cloud computing across the country's pilot companies, in fact, mobile Internet labs found that China Telecom had identified the results of the cloud computing pilot in 2012, defining the cloud computing base in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Chengdu. At the same time also in the early 2012 issued a "wisdom of clouds" development strategy, to promote the "wisdom of the Sea of clouds" information in the large-scale development of the dependencies.

Legend: China Mobile "big cloud plan" development strategy thinking

In addition to China Telecom in the promotion of cloud computing in the company's development, the China Mobile Research Institute also looked for follow-up to China Telecom's plan, launched the "Big Cloud Plan", in the south and the north identified two major cloud computing base to support China Mobile cloud computing development. However, mobile Internet laboratories have tracked the idea that China's mobile "big cloud" is too technologically ambitious to date, and that it has not really used "big cloud services" anywhere.

Legend: China Unicom in cloud computing management organizational structure adjustment

Because cloud computing is very beneficial to the development of telecom operators ' ICT business, the three operators have invested heavily in cloud computing, hoping to gain a foothold in ICT growth, and China Unicom is no exception. According to mobile Internet laboratory tracking found that 2011 hired an internationally renowned consulting company, for China Unicom Cloud computing development pulse, and formed a series of cloud computing Development Strategy Advisory Report, which, cloud management function of the organizational structure adjustment, is the first job in its transformation.

Combined with the three operators in the analysis of the layout of cloud computing, mobile Internet laboratory, the three major operators in the group level of the layout is very similar, is basically the use of group guidance, a number of base layout of the way, and in the provinces and cities in the application of cloud computing, I am cautious that The three major operators must be very different, for example, Sichuan Telecom has become a cloud computing base, but its positioning focused on supporting the sky wing space, obviously gave Sichuan more opportunities to move.
