Comparison of investment system architecture of six major cloud service providers with input evaluation output

The most popular cloud computing providers such as Apple, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1560.html ">facebook, Zynga, Google, Microsoft, How much does Yahoo spend on cloud infrastructure?

To calculate benefits, it is clear that the calculation of revenues and profits is accompanied by an understanding of the actual cost of spending in the construction and operation of Internet applications, or that it is one of the key indicators of how well the cloud operators or suppliers are going to be in the clouds.

The following is the author xx special with Apple, an analysis of cloud infrastructure spending by the most popular companies, such as Facebook, Zynga, Google, and Microsoft, for templates, but first look at a problem: not all spending is on the network infrastructure (data centers and servers)--general category refers to " Acquisition of property rights and equipment "--but most indeed.

Among them, Apple is apparently to make up for the lack of previous investment, in Q3 (note: Apple's financial planning time is obviously different from the natural month), the expenditure than 2011 growth of 164%, more than 2010 year, the equivalent of 2009 year twice times. Facebook's capital expenditure is by far the highest in total revenue. It is 212% higher than last year, more than Apple. Facebook has even spent 52 million of dollars renting related equipment. Zynga (social gaming company) has an impressive 42% reduction in investment, compared to last year. This is partly due to the fact that it has already completed the construction of a private cloud infrastructure. In addition, the dollar marked the recent spending plans of Google and Microsoft.

This drawing is from a data analysis application website, which can switch different standards freely.

Finally, Derrick Harris has some ideas and questions to share:

1. Facebook will remain committed to long-term commitment. Because his data science and advertising team is working on how to interact with Facebook ads and push ads more effectively. Each piece of data and every new feature needs to be researched and implemented.

2. Zynga may want to invest in more advertising and better analysis, but to ensure In-game's goals, it is clear that there will be no reduction in the cost of the structure in the future.

3. While it is not yet certain that Apple's spending is an accidental exception, it will become the norm. But if it is the latter, it apparently looks increasingly like an internet company that is willing to spend more on its core business. Of course, this may depend on how big the icloud is.

4. How Marissa Mayer in Yahoo will spend to support new products to ensure competition with Google and Facebook is also to be seen.

5. I am most interested in how Google Compute Engine and drive will affect their capital expenditure, and I am curious as to how much (or when) Google will invest heavily to buy infrastructure products that support the products. In the near term, 2012 of the cost is significantly lower than the same period last year.

6. I don't know how much Twitter spends on its architecture, or how it's going to be handled when it's not available. (Guo Shemei/compiling)
