2014, China's top ten most powerful cloud companies

2014 Cloud services market trend growth outbreak, but because the market is not stable, the domestic cloud services enterprises are still in the beginning of the development of the State. In the Public cloud field, BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) development to reach a leading position, other enterprises, Huayun data, Century interconnection and other professional manufacturers to obtain large sums of money, achievements, Jingdong Cloud, telecom cloud and other companies in their respective fields have a commendable as.

This article from the current domestic public cloud market situation, a simple analysis of the current development of the top ten companies, ranking only as a reference, does not represent the rankings.

1. Ali Cloud: Money is willful

Aliyun was formally established in 2008, according to public information shows that 2013 years of pure income of 600 million yuan, the estimated 2014 will reach 1 billion yuan, in the domestic public cloud market occupies an absolute leading position.

November 2014, after Alibaba listed, Aliyun in the public cloud investment is also more ferocious, various prices, various promotions, a large number of vouchers to promote the sale of cloud. In the financial, government and other sectors of the infiltration progress is good, each of a short period of time, there will be various local governments migrate into the Aliyun news, although the message propaganda is more purposeful, but it is undeniable that Aliyun in 2014 business progress is indeed good.

As the internet company itself is a variety of fast-paced, making aliyun progress quite quickly, than some of the domestic communications company's cloud, IDC to do the cloud, such as the overall pace a lot faster.

2. Grand Cloud: The declining cloud pioneer

Sheng is one of the first companies to do cloud services in China, but the entire cloud business has been hampered by a number of changes throughout the business team. It is still unclear whether the 2014 cloud income has shrunk as others have been on the same.

2012, see Sheng Business more professional, service type is also quite many, unexpected is 2013, 2014 momentum no longer, Sheng in the entire Grand group status also gradually decline, this April also outgoing Sheng and some other assets packaged together to sell Aliyun news. Worryingly, I wonder if Sheng is still called Sheng at the end of 2015.

3. Internet Technology (Blue technology): cloud or not cloud, make money on the line

Network accommodation technology and blue technology are set up around 2000, focusing on IDC-related services, 2014-year income of about 152 billion yuan.

Many people mention the internet and the blue news, because they do not have the scale of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and do not regard them as a cloud company. In fact, in the domestic CDN income, their income is very high, Ali, Tencent, Baidu, Beijing-east and many other cloud company CDN Services, are with the two companies.

At present, these two companies are facing the challenge, is mainly CDN too single, the future growth of space and speed is limited, in addition, Ali, Tencent in the appropriate time to build their own independent better CDN services, then the two companies of the CDN revenue has a great impact.

4. Tencent Cloud: A belated cloud upstart

At the beginning of the 2014, Tencent Cloud officially started commercial, gradually launched the IaaS and some simple PAAs services.

Tencent Cloud Advantage lies in the social, game and other areas of the huge customer base and the huge Third-party service provider ecological environment, which is the basis of Tencent Cloud development, at least in the SME user field, can and Ali a higher level. In the second half of this year, Tencent also stepped up its cooperation with IBM and other enterprise IT vendors to promote the development of cloud field.

5. Telecommunication Cloud: Cloud in the field of communications

The cloud of telecommunications is among the three major domestic operators to do the best. According to its official opinion, 2014 estimated to have 3.4 billion yuan of income, the source of income should mainly come from the enterprise customer.

As a state-owned enterprises, telecommunications in the struggle for domestic customers have a comparative advantage, but in the personal and small and medium enterprise users, telecommunications cloud service category less, update slow, customer service generally, not the resources of the advantages of telecommunications to make full use of the good. As the saying goes, "scholar revolt, ten years not", telecom cloud future can have how good development also depends on its future strategic layout.

6. Century interconnection: domestic landing preferred collaborators

2014 is the century of interconnection in the cloud services in a relatively smooth year, and Microsoft's Azure cloud in the beginning of the landing, and IBM cooperation in the cloud also landed in the year, with the two international partners, the century interconnection in the cloud is also a place in the field.

In addition, the domestic customer development is also progressing well, the end of the year also won Jinshan millet 296 million of dollars of financing, this amount in the cloud computing industry can be stunning. In China's public cloud market, Century interconnection is not the protagonist, but who can ignore him.

7. Baidu Cloud: Confused is the cloud or the brain?

2014 mid-April Baidu Cloud released, and then began to focus on publicity. Baidu Cloud, Baidu Data Factory, Baidu Brain, is Li-driven Baidu's future strategy. Among them, Baidu Cloud is the foundation, used to support the strategic development of big data, the cloud looks more like is a support inside of the platform. External, Baidu Cloud actual promotion and development goals what? At present, it seems that Baidu does not focus on promoting the cloud, perhaps for Baidu, "cloud" is far less important than the "brain".

8. Jingdong Cloud: three-stream AWS

2013 Beijing East Cloud official on-line, 2014 Beijing East Cloud Industry development booming, mustered a large number of Jingdong partners and sellers service providers to the Beijing-East cloud platform.

But why is it a three-stream AWS Cloud? Aliyun, Jingdong clouds are learning AWS, they are the giants of the field of electrical business, learning and even plagiarism are understandable, but at the beginning of the Beijing-East Cloud, its influence and income relative to the AWS gap is too big, said three streams is really deserved. Aliyun cloud Income is less than 1 billion, is the AWS cloud revenue of about 1/25, most is a second-rate AWS, and Jingdong Cloud in less than 100 million cloud revenue, can calculate a few flows.

9. Ucloud: The cloud that boasts the best knowledge of the game

2014 domestic most fire cloud computing start-up company Ucloud, especially 50 million dollars of a fund, let ucloud a good fire. Ucloud in the game field is known as the most understand the game of the cloud, this argument is well deserved. At present, the number of employees ucloud about 100, business direction is constantly expanding the data center, layout from the domestic to the world, 2015 can do more momentum, perhaps better financing it.

10. Huayun data: The counter attack of professional manufacturer

As the largest independent cloud computing service provider and professional cloud computing manufacturer representative, Huayun data 2014 years of success. At the beginning of the year received the Haina Asia and Intel investment in the 50 million U.S. dollar round of financing, to become a professional cloud computing manufacturers trend of development representative.

Huayun data has tens of thousands of physical server clusters in more than 15 cities and 20 data centers in the country, independent research and development of cloud computing resource scheduling and management system "cloud nest" platform can quickly take over the enterprise can be very complex traditional it architecture, without considering the different architectures, equipment integration technology difficulties and inputs, It also maximizes reuse of existing IT resources.

The current Huayun data has established a complete organizational structure, industry-oriented market set up the electrical business Division, Private Cloud division, is preparing the Internet Finance Division, the game Cloud division, and actively with IDC manufacturers, virtualization manufacturers and developers to strengthen cooperation to build cloud computing ecosystem, the plan at the end of 2015, Launch of the IPO plan in early 2016
