Foreign invasion strife, cloud computing of the Warring States era has come?

In the December 2013, China's cloud computing industry is destined to go down in history for one months. In just one months, first IBM announced the alliance with the century, the IBM's top cloud computing infrastructure services to the SCE into China, then Amazon through the industry chain with extensive cooperation, its public cloud services will officially landed in China. Domestic cloud service providers also launched a wide range of marketing campaigns in December, first, the Sky Wing Cloud first launched a price war, a counter operator in the Internet market low-key style, to Sichuan new resource pool on-line for the marketing line, to carry out promotional; then Aliyun launched 1218 marketing activities to deal with, announced the full range of product prices, The steepest drop was 50%; Tencent Cloud announced a week-long year-end promotion, bringing an unparalleled super discount on cloud servers and IDC bandwidth discounts. Several major domestic market to give up has been maintained for a long time the price of "tacit agreement" to launch a price war, in addition to their own year-end performance needs, but also hope that by seizing the recent market demand, to the new entrants a go. The full outbreak of the price war means that the Warring States era of cloud computing has come.

Will outsiders become the market leader?

As the foreign-owned public cloud landed in China is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions, so Microsoft, IBM, Amazon have taken a partnership with local companies to enter China. It also affected the rhythm of their landing in China. Microsoft grabbed the first on May 22, 2013 to announce a partnership with the century to land in China. IBM on July 31 this year announced cooperation with the capital online landing. When the market is still looking forward to Microsoft, IBM can be in the Chinese market, IBM announced the cooperation with the century news, and think of the century interconnection and Microsoft cooperation, we can not help but ask, these outsiders what?

When we discuss cloud computing, we are more focused on technology, such as Microsoft's proposed software is the core ability of cloud computing, but in the Chinese market, is this true? Reporters deliberately to Aliyun, Sky Wing Cloud Forum did a survey, found that users are most concerned about the problem is not technology, but the record of the management category of content. As some cloud-computing veterans complain, the resilience of cloud computing and cloud migration are technically easy to achieve, but in China's market, various types of information security management systems do not support the direct landing of cloud computing technology. To meet regulatory requirements, the domestic cloud computing service provider must make various compromises, as these Gao Shuai so-called technology leader, in the Chinese market with the technical confrontation supervision basically is Ishing, so can only be forced to choose to give up the technology and domestic cloud service provider competition, give up their own director, do you think their probability of success will be high?

The domestic troika, who will win?

Look at the domestic cloud computing giant Company's melee situation, Aliyun, Sky Wing Cloud, Tencent Cloud is the market in the past year the most concerned about the three "Big Mac" service providers, but also because the sky Wing cloud, Tencent Cloud to join, completely changed the domestic market Aliyun a single big situation, greatly reducing the use of cloud computing threshold, so that users ultimately benefit. So who will be the leader in the cloud market in the future?

First look at the government enterprise major customer market, in this market we predict the sky Wing cloud will still be a ride dust, after all, customers are concerned about more services, especially one-on-one on-site service. China Telecom in the field of enterprise Informatization has been for customer service for many years, many government enterprises and major customers of the IT infrastructure has been outsourced to China Telecom, and has established a multi-year cooperative trust relationship, in this case, Aliyun, Tencent Cloud opportunities are not many.

Looking at the SME and individual developer markets, journalists say the market is the most unpredictable in 2014. First, the sky Wing cloud with the enhancement of service capabilities, has entered the market fully, the double 11 of the promotional activities of greater than market expectations. Since September, the sky Wing Cloud has been continuously marketing activities to expand the market size. Now look, first, the technology reserves of the sky Wing cloud already have the ability to provide service for the Internet customer, otherwise will not continue to invest in the market; second, the Sky Wing cloud has started to challenge the small and medium enterprises and the individual developer market after it has established the enterprise market, and competes head-on with Aliyun and Tencent Cloud. Sky Wing Cloud as a veteran operator, the biggest advantage is the customer service system and product performance is guaranteed, this should be China telecom such state-owned enterprises will always maintain the style.

And look at Aliyun's moves, Aliyun forum feedback from the information that 1218 of the activities of many people expect to get more concessions of the public users slightly disappointed, but on the other hand can also speculate that the strategic center of Aliyun has also shifted, the SME market is no longer the aliyun concern of the market, from all aspects of the information to see, Aliyun the next stage focuses on the corporate customer market, hoping to become a challenger to the sky Wing cloud in this market.

Finally look at Tencent Cloud, Tencent Cloud become one of the big three more is stained with Tencent's light. Tencent's products are more concerned about Tencent's social ecosystem. Tencent is good at building a good ecological environment, on the one hand, the ecological efficient operation, on the other hand to have a strong background system capabilities. Tencent Cloud has unique advantages in these two links.

Study Aliyun, Sky Wing Cloud, Tencent Cloud, we found an interesting phenomenon, both sides occupy a dominant market, while salivating each other's dominant market, the reporter predicted the 2014 Aliyun, Sky Wing Cloud, Tencent Cloud "mutual" is inevitable, winner difficult to predict, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the user is really able to obtain benefits.
