Your company has not yet entered the ranks of cloud enterprises? Do you know how to use your personal mobile devices to make use of cloud data accessibility and efficiency? How to safely access cloud technology and derivative public cloud services? Tele-transmission Deputy general manager Li Mingxian in the "Decisive Transport Forum" section of the analysis. Since the terminology of cloud computing has frequently been exposed and discussed in the media, we have often heard the concept of public service services to simulate the characteristics of the cloud. For example, water and electricity meters are ready-made, in addition to monthly basic fees, other costs to see how much you use, you charge more money.
Li Mingxian said that the cloud services of the financing of communications and network equipment, as well as application software, is also built by the service providers, waiting for customers to rent, as long as you decide to hire, you can immediately open the line. In the past, the information power to be yinianbanzai from tendering to on-line is not the only option for modern enterprises to use their communication facilities.
He made a further analogy with the evolution of water resources, clearly explaining the changes brought about by the clouds. Now people use water only to open the faucet, there is no need to go to the river, and rarely stored in the tank. In other words, "in the cloud era, the data center is a dam, and most people can access the data of various applications directly through various technology tools without the time and place constraints." ”
Under this condition, virtualization technology is the key technology to realize cloud service. "However, companies do not need to be concerned with the complex workings behind them, but rather to look at technology devices that use cloud data," Li Mingxian said. The most efficient and convenient tool for data access in the cloud today is the personal mobile device that does not leave the body. ”
Mobile growth rapidly spawned enterprise cloud deployment
Several market research data can be used to explore the growth kinetic energy of personal mobile devices. According to the mobile market report released by Illy letter, 2010-2015 years of Smart mobile phone composite annual growth rate of 34%, will be increased from 1.443 billion to 2.029 billion fast, mobile user growth rate has continued to climb, but at the same time the number of fixed network users not to increase the reduction, although the decline is slow but is a foregone conclusion. Another data compared to 2010-2016 years, the growth of mobile voice traffic slowed, while the use of mobile devices data data volume increased almost annually.
Mobile apps are not just talking on mobile phones, surfing the internet, but real applications for commercial use. For example, Taiwan's transport industry is a long-distance telecommunications, one of the main passenger group, about 15~20 million SIM card is not inserted in the mobile phone, but the vehicle, the implementation of positioning dispatch communication tasks.
Li Mingxian, for example, over 70% of mobile phones sold from remote stores in the first quarter of 2012 are smartphones. When a mobile phone becomes a consumer terminal, consumers will spend more time on the handheld device, and need to secure and facilitate access to data through a variety of mobile applications. In fact, the increasingly mobile user trend is what spawned cloud applications. Such a sharp unstoppable trend, whether the service provider or small and medium-sized enterprises, can not oneself outside.
The desire to embrace the cloud is also reflected in the city report. For example, in the Gartner 2012 CIO Survey, the deployment of mobile technology and cloud services was the top ten key second and third place, Forrester's latest survey of CIOs (2012-2014), and eight topics related to cloud technology. Taiwan Enterprises in the study of the Fund, although the use of cloud services ratio is only 8%, but a year later will be used to pull up to 34%, showing that most companies to import cloud services even in the wait-and-see situation, but the desire to move.
And in the ongoing evolution of cloud services, the latest trend is "IT support staff personalized (consumerization of it)", "bring their own mobile devices to work (BYOD)", which means that modern it to service objects from the traditional company room hardware and software and network equipment, Moving to personal mobile devices, this trend cannot be avoided, and detailed instructions will be in "BYOD bring your own mobile device to work!" "In depth.
Total cost down workforce hiring flat
Companies looking at any new technology will have to return to their original intention to examine what problems they are experiencing. To solve those problems? Li Mingxian bluntly, "clarify the problem to choose the appropriate tools to find effective solutions." This is also the enterprise to consider the cloud service, should find the answer important issue. ”
On the other hand, he also wants to remind companies to pay attention to a common myth, that the introduction of cloud will not save it manpower costs? Li Mingxian The market research figures, when the enterprise into the cloud services, 42% of people think that there is no impact on the employment of IT personnel, 32% think it will increase, only 26% of people think it will be because of the introduction of cloud services to reduce it manpower. However, the survey also showed that 57% of respondents thought that the overall cost of owning a cloud service would be lower than it was, and 29% thought it would be similar, and only 14% thought it would improve.
This question depends on how the enterprise defines the investment benefits, but rather than reducing it manpower costs, cloud services are more important to CIOs than to allow businesses to reduce the burden of maintenance on physical devices and software systems, and devote time and energy to planning the IT planning needed for business development. In this perspective, the change of enterprise IT manpower will be more towards the function of the planner, rather than the simple reduction of manpower.
Select the most trustworthy provider of telecommunications services
With the knowledge, the service provider should be chosen carefully. Cloud service development So far, can be divided into management-type network, management-funded communications infrastructure, management communications, cloud computing services, as well as cloud communications five categories.
A survey by the Ovumu Research Institute found that 49% per cent of respondents considered telecoms providers to be the most trustworthy service providers, with the highest degree of recognition in the three services of management networks, managed communications and cloud communications. Ovum pointed out that the same survey in the previous year results, only 37% of the companies believe that the carrier is to adopt cloud services trustworthy suppliers, but the current survey has grown to 49%.
Li Mingxian points out that telecoms providers do have more resource advantages to play this role. For example, tele-communications for enterprises to import cloud mobile demand, put forward a "one-yard phone" integration program. This Jie Fang appeal two things: first, to assist customers with a single number, integration table machine and mobile, the enterprise to any far away from the country or region of partners, can be a yard unimpeded, call the Internet are OK. The second is through a code, the construction of cloud mobile office and application environment, enterprise employees as long as a machine in hand, cloud office, readily provide convenient information support.
A code pass to realize cloud office
On the whole, the application scale of cloud services is still in the early embryonic stage, the next step is to enter the youth growth period, the entire ecological maturity of the whole will be longer than the general industry. However, when the upsurge of discussion in the cloud has been burning for a few years, cognition is no longer a problem, how to apply the cloud technology and the derivative public cloud service, let enterprise users ease and easy to obtain is the important topic.
Li Mingxian said that the public cloud also stresses the characteristics of the industry know-how, far-spread on the needs of customers in different industries, one after another to build eight intelligent public cloud services, including health, transport, management, green energy, learning, business, storage, office clouds and so on.
These public clouds combine multiple communications infrastructure networks (3G/3.5G/WIFI/WIMAX), top-rated cloud rooms, wireless vpn/ipsec, Vpn/ssl VPNs, and mobile applications for industry, and support for mobile devices of various operating systems, So that the industry value chain system in the relevant enterprises, without the need for individual financing to quickly enjoy the benefits of cloud services.
