Discussion on the strategy of operator Cloud computing products

In the era of cloud computing, operators of the system and services, inevitably "cloud", as a significant trend, this direction is not debatable, but should be the way to cloud, and provide a differentiated competitive advantage of the cloud services, for operators, it needs careful thinking.

As early as 2007, China Mobile had released its own big cloud plan, and started a partial project pilot, and recently China Telecom also released its own Tianyi http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13798.html "> Cloud computing strategy, in fact, from the Chinese operator's cloud computing strategy, we can see that the current service provided by the traditional hosting business extension, such as China Telecom in its cloud computing strategy planning cloud storage, cloud host services.

from the choice of competitive advantage, this is the natural choice for operators to carry out cloud services, large capacity, high reliability, high availability is the carrier to provide telecommunications-class services, the traditional forte, cloud computing technology at this time is only to give operators new lower cost to provide these services technical options.

From another perspective, the cloud-driven service for storage and host services is also in line with the operator's need for standardization and centralization of operations. Compared to the many applications that vary in personalization requirements, operators are inefficient and ineffective in providing services, and, of course, are not better able to take advantage of the Low-cost technologies that cloud computing brings.

Therefore, the carrier's service cloud path is clear and straightforward, based on centralization and standards.

1 A step cloud of the operator's own business and support system is the basis for the customer to provide cloud services. As the saying goes, a good doctor must be able to have a doctor's ability. In the industry increasingly fierce competition, high cost of the present, operators in their own system cloud process, can solve their own costs and operational problems, can also accumulate experience to exercise the team.

2) and regarding the operator's cloud service product, the author thought that by the storage, the host, the ability core constructs the operator Cloud service product system even if naturally also is the inevitable choice. Storage requirements and high reliability of the host demand is any system running the first demand, but also operators have the ability to standardize and centralize the advantages of the field, nature should be the first choice. In the ability to open, the form of cloud services to open telecommunications business capacity, but also in line with the requirements of standardization and centralization.

and for Chinese operators, in fact, in the process of cloud services, the more important thing to consider is the low-cost operation and construction of cloud computing, which, in fact, Google has given us a role model, such as in the Deepwater Building computing center, siting near Low-cost energy supply areas, of course, There are more factors to consider, such as land price, tax policy, atmospheric temperature and so on.

Regardless of cloud services strategy, and regardless of the cloud product shape, the cloud of its own system, low-cost operating environment, standardized products, is the carrier cloud computing path of the inevitable option, but only so, operators of the cloud can beSustainable。
