Cloud computing affects technology industry 30

Trend Technology founder Zhang Ming is a very successful business, not only because he is hot entrepreneurial, but also because of his sensitive to the industry smell, so early to see the computer virus crisis and business opportunities, but also early layout online anti-drug. In recent years he unloaded http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/25252.html "> Trend Technology CEO, but optimistic about the cloud computing business, but also actively engaged in talent cultivation."

Cloud computing will at least affect the technology industry for 30 years, he said, but it is now the first and second years that cloud industry has just begun. The hardware and software industries will be shuffled by cloud computing. The following is a summary of the interview:

Q: What is the layout of trend technology in cloud computing?

A: Trend technology set up a subsidiary of Cloud Computing, in 2009 with the Chinese mainland cloud pilot company Cloud technology cooperation. Teng Yun into the cloud operating system research and development, cloud technology is responsible for solutions and system integration, this year also to join hands with China Telecom, the three sides will jointly enter the Southeast Asian market.

Q: How does the hardware industry in Taiwan grasp the advantages of the cloud era?

A: The value chain of Taiwan's industry has always been closely linked with Wintel (Microsoft and Intel), foreign brands have mastered the brand, access, but Taiwan's OEM manufacturers only make a slight profit, and the stock risk is borne by the Taiwanese industry. However, after the advent of the cloud, this phenomenon is expected to be broken, the industry will reshuffle, Taiwan OEM industry can and other European and American brand paragraphed equality.

Q: Do you have any suggestions for hardware manufacturers to face the growing profits?

A: Just as the IBM mainframe switched to PCs, the trend in the cloud industry is one of two sides of the knife. The gross margin and value of the end product is really scaring you. To hardware agents, many services are now connected to the cloud, the end product specifications and 0 components, no longer require a strong function, but hope to be able to reduce prices and cheap. Many hardware operators have recently received customers ' quarterly price reduction requirements. The hardware industry faces less profit. But the cloud brings a lot of data center opportunities.

Q: What do you refer to as paragraphed equality?

A: Many of the services in the cloud are connected to the data center, and in the data center, it doesn't matter what the family's server hardware brand is. The main market in the past is Europe and America, but now everyone is looking at emerging markets such as Asia. Once mastered the market, core technology and brand, then have the right to serve. In the past, Taiwanese hardware owners didn't need to know who their customers were, but now they need to know who they are. Who uses my merchandise?

Q: At present, Taiwan's electronics five brothers have claimed to grasp the business opportunities, but how to do?

A: At present, electronic five in the cloud revenue sources are still mainly server, the future should also include software. But at the moment I can only say that everyone is in the right direction, but the ability has not yet reached an ideal state. I think, whether Taiwan manufacturers can grasp the trend of cloud, still want to see Big Boss's mentality and idea. The second is to see if there is enough cash in hand.

Q: The cloud era has also had a lot of impact on the software industry.

A: In the trend of anti-virus software, the previous year's service to charge 18 dollars, but now apps price is 99 cents. So the trend of consumer antivirus software revenue has been down, but fortunately in the cloud-related products, that is, the protection of cloud information security and other related performance has been growing.

Q: Where is the opportunity for the software industry in the cloud era?

A: Cloud technology founder Tian to share a concept, the cloud of huge data is like ore, to use the new software to make these minerals into steel. For example, there will be more efficient results between supply and demand. For example, there is an application "I'm hungry" according to lbs (Location based Service) to provide the restaurant discount information based on distance, the restaurant, the group reservation temporarily canceled, you can use this software to provide discount information to successfully recruit visitors, reduce inventory, The whole economic benefits can be played.
