Cloud computing is a great place to start a business

According to a number of employees, Chen Shiqin's company encountered the plight of property seal, how much and in the Super cloud computing investment, the money turnover is not related. So, what is the current development of cloud computing in our country? How to deal with the relationship and risk of prophase investment and future development? With these questions, "China Science Daily" reporter interviewed Beijing North Dragon Super Cloud Computing Co., Ltd. Chief technology officer Chen Jian.

High upfront investment in cloud computing

China Science Daily: What is the development trend of domestic cloud computing at present? Is the investment mainly in enterprises or government departments?

Chen Jian: It should be said that the whole industry is relatively hot. Now many big companies are turning to cloud computing, and of course local governments are more interested, and many places are creating smart cities and cloud computing centers. Of course, the country's investment in this area is also more.

"China Science Daily": What does Super cloud computing require for a company's upfront investment? What are the well-known institutions that are currently engaged in Super cloud computing?

Chen Jian: the upfront investment needed for the Super cloud computing is really high, mainly because some hardware devices are expensive. Pre-hardware equipment requires at least million yuan. Of course, the computer's computing power is generally improved, some operations used to use supercomputers, but now with some ordinary computer networking can also be. Social demand in the continuous development and improvement, the future needs of computer computing will be more and more, high-end computing task or need supercomputer to solve.

At present, the main institutions are the National Supercomputer Center, the National Grid Center, as well as more than 10 colleges and universities jointly formed by the Super cloud computing related institutions. Cloud computing, after introducing high-performance computing, does reduce the cost of using cloud computing for customers.

North Dragon Main is the cloud computing domain in the Super cloud computing, that is, high-performance cloud computing, is the domestic professional Super cloud computing service provider. The main business is for many research and education and business needs, to provide professional super cloud computing services. At the same time, we are building a domestic super cloud computing platform that will provide Easy-to-use, Super Cloud Web services.

"China Science Daily": is the current Super cloud computing mainly used in high-end areas?

Chen Jian: yes, but relatively few. Some large companies, such as the nuclear industry, buy their own supercomputers for operation. But some small and medium-sized enterprises will not, and now the trend of cloud computing is to aggregate the needs of these enterprises, by the specialized Super cloud computing services companies to rent out these services. Some companies, such as the car companies to do the collision test of new car listing, he needs to finish in a few months, but to buy a supercomputer must be too late, not enough staff, then need to buy super cloud computing services.

"China Science Daily": How to view the future development of cloud computing trends?

Chen Jian: In fact, cloud computing has a very good idea, that is, let it manufacturers, service providers to the equipment and related enterprises as a whole packaging, users see only the last service provided. This is also a direction, just want to let users realize the convenience of service, others do not have to pipe. As with electricity, it is within reach, without concern as to how electricity is generated and where it comes from.

Entrepreneurial needs

China Science Daily: What do you think about the failure of some scientists or individuals to start a cloud company?

Chen Jian: I think it's normal. How much money, do big things. Many economic actions have certain capital requirements. Especially in the field of Super cloud computing, a random investment requires tens of millions of yuan, if the capital is limited, your funds will soon be consumed in a short time, it is inevitable that entrepreneurship failure.

and the institute and the company are completely different entities, the company's goal is to profit, the company's existence is to rely on cash flow to support, but in the market incubation and promotion phase, the cash flow is generally negative, which requires strong financial support, support companies adhere to the production of positive cash flow. North Rongsu Cloud Company This combination of production and research, career input, Enterprise specialization operation of the new model, not only can reduce the early operation of the huge risk, but also can avoid the blind investment of government institutions.

In addition, cloud computing is a big area, can start a lot of places, if the money is enough to do directly to build a platform for data, but if not enough money, can be engaged in the field of Super cloud computing a specific professional cloud computing services, can also be successful.
