Development of public cloud services in China

China Public Cloud Services Development Survey (20012), according to the Ministry of Industry and Information technology, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/3092.html "> Telecommunication Research Institute" We found that in the past year, China's public cloud services market overall growth faster, the growth rate reached 73%, but the market size is still small, about 3.5 billion yuan. In particular, SaaS has the lowest proportion of public cloud users in the survey, accounting for 16%,iaas users (56%) and PAAs users by about 28%.

The whole cognition of public cloud service in our country has been formed gradually, and the water Cloud computing service is beginning to be gradually tested. Because of the public cloud trust problem, has not been widely recognized by enterprises, but the independent construction of private clouds, the difficulty coefficient is also relatively high, because of the public cloud services to the embarrassing situation, the advantages are obvious, but landing and more difficult. At present, many enterprises still believe that the risk of public cloud application is greater than its benefits, data security or related issues are the main problems.

It is true that some of the public cloud outages that are now occurring around the world also give companies a wait-and-see attitude towards the public cloud. The failure and unexpected downtime will inevitably occur, and even the largest and best cloud makers are in vain before their services occasionally "stop".

The report predicted that 2013, China's public cloud services market size can reach 6.3 billion yuan. But this figure accounts for a very small percentage of global public cloud services reported by Gartner in 2012. It can be seen that China's market has not yet formed, but it also means that the blue sea contains a greater treasure, because the overall understanding of public cloud services in China has gradually formed. Gartner predicts that as of 2016, the composite annual growth rate of IaaS (infrastructure, services) will reach 41.3%,iaas as well as the fastest growing area of public cloud services.

Cloud host, cloud storage and other resources leasing cloud services is the main application of the current format, the future enterprise management software, application development services, network acceleration services, such as user demand will continue to grow. The report noted that the use of such cloud services by sample users reached more than 40% per cent. The results are consistent with TechTarget's findings last year: 44% already use cloud storage services in data protection and other applications. That figure will continue to grow in the next six months, as 46% of respondents say they plan to increase the use of cloud data storage services.

In addition, users have high expectations for the stability, security, and network quality of cloud services provided by cloud providers. More than 50% of respondents think these factors are the key to the choice of cloud providers, but there is no excessive demand for brands, so China's cloud computing market pattern is still not formed, the opportunity is more extensive. Cost savings are one of the most significant advantages of cloud services, so it is no surprise that users are generally satisfied with the current cloud computing services.

Since cloud computing was first formed in foreign countries, some well-known international it vendors have built their own cloud services system, these enterprises are also constantly invading the Chinese market, will undoubtedly promote the development of China's cloud computing, but also to the domestic cloud computing companies have caused a shock. More than 90% of the respondents think that if the international well-known cloud services into the Chinese market, such as Amazon, Rackspace, etc., will consider the use of these services according to their own circumstances.
