Find the focus of cloud computing business

The era of cloud computing, which is widely touted as a success story for international companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Cisco, is at hand. But cloud computing has not yet formed a real scale commercial application.

2010, one of the most power words in the IT field is not "cloud computing". Newspapers and periodicals published a large number of articles to report cloud computing, experts, academics, entrepreneurs, officials also relish, many provinces and cities to the cloud industry and cloud applications into the "Twelve-Five" plan. October 18, 2010, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "on the cloud computing Services innovation and development of pilot demonstration work notice" to determine in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Wuxi and other five cities first to carry out cloud computing services innovation and development pilot demonstration work. In August 2010, Shanghai launched the three Action plan for the development of the cloud computing industry in Shanghai (2010-2012). October 2010, the Beijing "Xiangyun Project" Action Plan (2010-2015), all over the country are in full swing to carry out a pilot demonstration of cloud computing, focus on the development of cloud computing industry.

All the action suggests that cloud computing seems to be getting closer. But is it? When will cloud computing be within reach? Calm observation, indeed there is a long way to go, the current cloud computing or "cloud."

Cloud computing is not a new kind of technology, but a novel application and a new business and service model. Whether it can be promoted or not depends on its commercial value. The era of cloud computing, which is widely touted as a success story for international companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Cisco, is at hand. But, globally, cloud computing seems vague. The concept and application of cloud computing is still under discussion, and it does not form a real scale commercial application.

To hinder the rapid spread of cloud computing applications, I think there are 4 main reasons, one is the market demand for cloud computing. Cloud computing is good at providing a service to multiple users at the same time, while addressing user personalization needs is stretched. The real need for modular application of the user is limited, most of the need for personalized services. This has hindered the growth of business demand for cloud computing.

The second is the security problem of cloud computing. Cloud security is not only the biggest advantage of cloud computing, but also its biggest weakness, if you can ensure cloud computing security, customers can put data to professional company management, ensure that the data will not be lost or moved to use. At present, the government does not want to put the data to the third party management for security reasons, so the application of cloud computing in the government has been in the exploration, the impact of cloud computing business applications in the government to promote.

The third is the use cost of cloud computing. Some experts say that cloud computing, with its low cost of use, will be like water and electricity into ordinary people's lives. Because cloud computing is paid on demand, the cloud has a huge potential for business promotion, but it takes a long time to become a reality. This reminds me of the ubiquitous mobile phone service that people are using, and the high cost of mobile phones and phone calls is prohibitive for ordinary people when mobile phones are emerging. Now, with the increase in users, mobile phone has become ordinary people's daily consumption. Cloud computing should also experience a scale effect fade process, initially because of investment in the construction of cloud computing services Center, resulting in high service costs, resulting in cloud computing business application is relatively slow, with the user's gradual increase and application of the environment mature, cloud computing is really like water and electricity into people's life is just within reach

Four is the network bandwidth problem. The core of cloud computing is a web-based application, the network bandwidth directly determines the quality of cloud computing services, like the width of highways directly determines whether the road is smooth or not. At present, China's network bandwidth and the United States, Japan, South Korea and other developed countries far from the gap, which also limits the cloud computing in the domestic business promotion.

To promote the development of cloud computing, we should find the right focus, so that cloud computing is no longer a "cloud."

First, we should legislate, supervise and audit qualified cloud computing service providers, ensure the services provided by cloud computing providers are safe and reliable, and eliminate social concerns about cloud computing security. Second, to help enterprises reduce cloud computing and operational costs, from the fiscal, tax, land and other policies to help enterprises promote cloud computing service model, as soon as possible to form the scale effect of cloud services. In addition, accelerate the upgrading of network infrastructure, accelerate the process of fiber to the user to create high-quality, high-speed cloud computing application environment. The government can only realistically do a good job from these three aspects, so that cloud computing service users more comfortable, so that cloud computing service providers more active, in order to truly create a cloud computing business applications of the blue sky, so that cloud computing is no longer hanging on the horizon "cloud."
