Enterprise Mailbox outsourcing is ready to be sent, cloud computing forced the industry to shuffle

"In the next 3-5 years, the cloud-based e-mail service will become a mainstream application based on its intelligence, integration and informatization," the report of the 2011 China Enterprise mailbox Industry reported. "China's mailbox network analysis that in the future, in order to" cloud computing "as the background of the Chinese enterprise mailbox market will usher in a new round of shuffle, like 2000 to 2010 this decade, the domestic enterprise mailbox high-speed development, but also brought the industry shuffle, winners Wang, loser Kou.

According to China's mailbox network manufacturer platform is not complete statistics, the domestic currently engaged in enterprise mailbox products and services manufacturers have not less than 40, which contains the first batch of manufacturers such as Sina, 263 corporate mailboxes, but also included the recent bloom of light such as hundred enterprises mailbox and so on. Mailbox service providers involved in the portal, IDC, ISP and other categories, a wide range of enterprise mailbox products Let the whole industry a mixed bag.

Eric Report statistics show that, at present, occupy the mainstream, that is, we can define as a first-line enterprise mailbox products such as 263 enterprise mailbox, based on the Coremail system NetEase and the enterprise mailbox, 35 interconnected, million nets, 21CN and new network digital, such products combined, The big cake that ate the domestic enterprise mailbox market, while the other dozens of companies compete for the remaining market share. For the vendors vying for this small share, in the big background, if the financial support, market input, product innovation and many other links, a little careless, it is likely to be brought into the "shuffle of the Whirlpool," and the result or be merged, or perish, or forced transformation, not to mention in the "cloud computing" under the premise.

Cloud computing or cloud services, is not simply called a name, shouting out a "cloud mailbox" can spell the market, or that this mailbox product is a cloud as the background. For users, when it comes to cloud services, let's be clear on what level of cloud services is IaaS, PAAs or SaaS?

IaaS is going to infrastructure services, the platform strategy for PAAs, and SaaS for software support, and cloud services at different levels are not the same. Make a business mailbox is very simple, but do a business mailbox product is very difficult, especially as a cloud mailbox, it is even more difficult.

In the 2011, Icoremail practiced SaaS hosting operations based on cloud computing, leading SaaS services, while 263 wanted to build a "unified communications" cloud communication platform that could be defined as PAAs mode, and, as a collaboration between WAN and Aliyun, deploy cloud strategy together, From the network of services and traditional business to analyze, this service will be more inclined to the IaaS model, that is, cloud computing infrastructure services.

"2011, according to the number of users, since the construction of enterprise mailbox users accounted for 67.5% of the total number of mailbox users, outsourced enterprise mailbox users accounted for 32.5%." In the future, the market will be new users of small and medium-sized enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises generally difficult to bear the high cost of the post office, the vast majority will choose to email service providers to purchase mail products, that is, through the outsourcing market to meet the needs of the unified e-mail system enterprises. Therefore, the outsourcing enterprise mailbox market will become the key development area of enterprise mailbox industry. ”

In fact, not only SMEs, when some self-built enterprise mailbox user's input total cost is higher than the outsourcing enterprise mailbox cost, the balance will naturally favor the outsourcing Enterprise Mailbox service, for the system stability, the spam mail and the virus mail effective interception and so on many factors, the big brand "The Cloud Mailbox" will become the first choice With the gradual maturation of cloud computing technology and the improvement of service quality and specialization, this trend will become more and more obvious.
Future, any one enterprise, the security of information storage and the stability of data transmission will only be increased, and for the first line, the second line of the enterprise mailbox manufacturers, to ensure that the traditional technology, or emerging cloud technology in the field of enterprise mailbox play a substantial role, but also to fundamentally solve the security, stability and other issues, So that the real cloud services, cloud computing, cloud office and other concepts and products in the enterprise users widely used and recognized. These hard demand or soft power, for Non-mainstream products, want to step into the cloud is undoubtedly a nightmare, and for the soft and hard power of the mainstream enterprise mailbox products, cloud battle is undoubtedly a hand-to-hand, when the cloud computing widely emerging, the industry will again usher reshuffle.
