Private cloud lets data center go to self service

Today, the "Network World" newspaper "The first China Private Cloud Technology Forum and the seventh session of the Data Center Conference" in Beijing Sheraton Great Wall Hotel held grandly. With the theme of "opening the door of private cloud practice in China", this conference has in-depth reports on the construction and operation of private cloud in the data center, together with enterprise users, technical experts and it developers from IBM, Dell, Avaya, Riverbed, Cisco, Rongzhifa, Tianya and so on.

FAI, the editor-in-chief of the internet world, says the data center has long been the focus of the "cyber World". As early as 2004, when the concept of enterprise data center in China is still unfamiliar, the internet world began to introduce the concept of "New generation data Center" to readers in the form of 6 series of topics each year, and the First Data Center conference was held in two years.

"At the time, the data center was looking for virtualization, automation, intelligence, and green energy, and now cloud computing has taken a big step forward in the data center, allowing users to deploy and release the resources they need to the server." "Fai said.

At present, Chinese corporate users are increasingly recognizing the value of cloud computing, especially private cloud, according to the 2011 Asia-Pacific Cloud Maturity Index report by market research firm Forrestor, which shows that up to 40% per cent of Chinese companies are planning to deploy private clouds to the top of the Asia Pacific region. Two previous surveys of the world of cyberspace have similar results. In the online world "2011-2012 China Enterprise network user Demand Survey", the proportion of users concerned about cloud computing reaches 53.4%. Over the next three years, the proportion of virtualized deployments is more than 20% to 60%, and more than 50% of virtualization users reach 24%. In the Web World "2011-2012 China Cloud Computing Development Prospects Survey", has developed a cloud computing strategy for the user reached 20%, ready to develop a cloud computing strategy for users to 33%.

FAI, editor-in-chief of the internet world, said: "Although cloud computing is still in the early stages of development, but the user has from the initial wait-and-see, understanding, research gradually towards practice, but the application of cloud computing is destined to be a long-term process, the transformation will touch on all aspects of the business, from the private cloud start, the future to build a hybrid It can be said that the current enterprise users better choice. ”

At the same time, there are a lot of puzzles that are bothering the corporate CIO, directly or indirectly, leading to their wavering in private cloud construction. For example, private cloud solutions are emerging on the market and how do companies select them? Is it a small-scale local trial or is it more cost-effective to turn traditional data centers into private clouds directly? Does the green energy-saving, operation-maintenance management and safety assurance of the cloud data center change with it? How do you use private cloud to create new business opportunities? Which enterprise users in the industry have deployed private cloud, what are their experiences? and so on. Fai said that this is why the seventh session of the Internet World Data Center Conference to "Open the door of China's private cloud practice" as the theme.

"We hope to build a broad platform for everyone, manufacturers, users, experts gathered, from the technology, products, cases, markets and other perspectives, to jointly exchange and explore the cloud computing ERA data center construction difficulties, so as to promote private cloud in China's development process."
