Domestic cloud computing pilot City accelerates application layout

Introduction: Cloud computing is not only a hot topic in the industry, it has become the world's future information industry development strategic direction and promote economic growth of the important engine, countries are seriously studying cloud computing will be the social and economic development model brought about by the changes, and actively deploy the national strategy. In October last year, we identified five cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Wuxi as the pilot model cities for the development of cloud computing in China, which also marked the beginning of our country's cloud computing and gradually moving from the concept to the application level.

This article will focus on the latest developments in the field of cloud computing around five national pilot cities.

The first cloud computing application project in the domestic cloud computing pilot city landed in Beijing. April 19, Beijing Municipal Committee on Economic and Information technology officially licensed Ufida "Xiangyun Project-Small and medium Enterprises cloud service platform" for the Beijing Cloud Computing demonstration Project, Ufida will be specific to undertake SME cloud services platform to build and implement the promotion.

This is a dedicated platform for small and medium-sized enterprises to provide cloud services. According to the introduction, the initial stage of construction will be able to small and medium-sized enterprises like buying water, buy electricity like to provide a purchase, commercialization of information services, to help them build their own corporate library, product information base, supply and demand database, operating information base, etc., but also will provide enterprise website, enterprise mail, network promotion, online customer service, Enterprise classroom, Enterprise Network, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and financial invoicing, as well as one-stop application services store and other cloud services projects.

Only a few months after the country identified five cities, including Beijing, as a pilot model of national cloud computing, the cloud, once still erratic, finally lowered its first rain in the spring and brought the gospel to small and medium-sized enterprises.

Five cities take the lead in testing water

Cloud Computing is a revolutionary concept that is presented in such a vision: businesses and individual users need not invest in expensive hardware acquisition and development application costs, only through the Internet to buy lease computing and services, "your computer as an access, everything to the Internet."

The narrow definition of what cloud computing is: The network that provides resources is called the cloud. The resources in the cloud can be extended indefinitely by the user, and can be obtained at any time, on demand, at any time, and paid for by use. This feature is often referred to as the use of IT infrastructure like water and electricity.

The broad concept of cloud computing is that this service can be it and software, Internet-related, or any other service. This resource pool is called the cloud. "Cloud" is a self maintenance and management of virtual computing resources, usually for some large server clusters, including computing servers, storage servers, broadband resources. Cloud computing centralizes all computing resources and is automatically managed by software without human involvement. This allows application providers to be more focused on their business, in favor of innovation and lower costs, without having to worry about tedious details.

As a new business model, cloud computing has been listed as a strategic emerging industry by many developed countries and regions, which will have a great impact on economic and social development. China also attaches great importance to the development of cloud computing innovation, in October 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology, the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "on the cloud computing Services innovation and development of the pilot demonstration work of the notice", determined in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Five cities in Wuxi first launched the Cloud Computing Services innovation and development pilot demonstration work. At the same time, many domestic cities and enterprises are also exerting cloud computing.

Pilot demonstrations in five cities mainly include 4 key elements: first, to promote the domestic information service enterprises to the government, large and small enterprises and individuals, such as the needs of different users, and actively explore all kinds of cloud computing services; The second is to take the enterprise as the main body, to strengthen the research and development and industrialization Third, the formation of cloud computing Industry Alliance, four is to strengthen the cloud computing technology standards, service standards and related safety management norms of research and development, and strive to promote related industries.

Cloud strategy has its own focus

Beijing is the first in five pilot cities to release cloud computing related development plans, Beijing grabbed the country to determine the cloud computing pilot City, last July 9, quietly launched the "Xiangyun Project" plan. And, "Beijing's cloud strategy is to build Beijing into a world-class cloud computing industry base, and to contribute to Beijing's efforts to build a world city and implement a smart Beijing strategy." Jutine, director of Beijing Municipal Commission of the letter said.

To this end, the Beijing Municipal Economic Information Committee, Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Zhongguancun (8.23,0.08,0.98%) CMC jointly led by the special organization of Cloud computing industry chain representative Enterprises set up a joint working group to develop the Beijing cloud computing industry roadmap. The most representative is in the Zhongguancun core area planning and construction of Beijing cloud computing industry base, strengthen the government strategic guidance, gathered a group of cloud computing research institutions and industrial chain of the core enterprises. Relying on industrial base, Beijing Building cloud computing public testing and verification platform, cloud computing products and Services Demo Experience Center and other major public service platform, guide the base construction into cloud services product Innovation Center, Technology Exchange Center, Application Demonstration Center and Service Operation Center, become the global influential cloud computing industry base.

Shanghai was the second city to announce the "Sea of clouds" plan after Beijing. According to the blueprint proposed last August, Shanghai will launch the first batch of 13 key projects with a total investment of more than 3.1 billion yuan in 3 years, cultivate cloud computing leading enterprises and set up a cloud computing professional venture capital fund.

In addition, in the recent Shanghai Cloud Computing Application Promotion Summit, Shanghai also made clear that will vigorously promote the cloud computing from the five aspects of the demonstration application, set out to establish government clouds, traffic clouds, health cloud, culture cloud, small and medium-sized enterprises cloud applications, and comprehensively promote the application of cloud computing, "the clouds churning" situation.

Shenzhen's cloud strategy is to promote industrial upgrading, the development of high-end services as the focus, to promote cloud computing technology development and innovation, industrial construction and application, to create a complete cloud computing industry chain. Shenzhen is currently engaged in cloud computing enterprises nearly 80, and strive to 2015, to cultivate 10 or so in the domestic influential annual operating income of the cloud computing enterprises.

Just 2 months after Hangzhou was announced as a cloud computing pilot city, the first government cloud project in the country, the Fuyang government Cloud data center, was built by Hangzhou's county-level city Fuyang Information Center and silver shares (19.720,-0.03,-0.15%) Limited. The landing of the project is a major breakthrough in the development of the cloud computing industry in Hangzhou from the concept to the application.

Although Wuxi is the only land-level city in five cloud computing pilots, it has deep cloud computing origins. As early as 2008, Wuxi Binghu District built the world's first commercial cloud computing hub with IBM support. At the same time, Wuxi is also the country in the field of IoT important national research and development base, and cloud computing is called the "brain" of the Internet of Things, Wuxi's cloud computing development roadmap will be complementary to the construction of the Internet of things.
