From Buy to sell: operator turn cloud service

This article abstracts

Compared with domestic companies that like to take the "cloud computing" hype, telecoms operators ' progress in 2011 is down-to-earth. More importantly, in the accumulation of a considerable amount of "internal services" experience, operators gradually began to provide cloud services business exploration, that is, operators from the "practitioner" began to turn to "provider."
In Guizhou, 36 people service systems, including medical, administrative, tourism and personal information services, are running steadily in the "cloud platform" of the data center of Guizhou Mobile, and the automated It delivery capability makes business Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation /18156.html "> Online time from the original one months shortened to 7 days; in Shanghai, more and more offshore financial banking institutions, through the Shanghai Telecom provided by the" Financial cloud zone "services, has a localized IDC resources; Meanwhile, Shanghai Unicom has also replaced 96 of its business hall 80% PC mainframe box, replaced by the energy-saving and compact "thin terminal."

Compared with domestic companies that like to take the "cloud computing" hype, telecoms operators ' progress in 2011 is down-to-earth. Three operators not only at the group level to develop a clear cloud strategy development route, at the same time all over the pilot application of the pace is also compact and timely.

Through the cloud of this year's practice, by leveraging technology ideas such as cloud computing, virtualization, and service architectures, operators have made real improvements in their data centers-not only dramatically increasing the average efficiency of it resource units, but also increasing the automation of it delivery and reducing the cost of human resources.

More importantly, in the accumulation of a considerable amount of "internal services" experience, operators gradually began to provide cloud services business exploration, that is, operators from the "practitioner" began to turn to "provider."

For example, China Mobile, on the basis of "big cloud Platform", through the development and research of the IAAS layer, we build the cloud computing IDC for the public service, which can better support the introduction of the content into the business and the Trusteeship Service of Government and government. IDC, the core city of China Telecom's "Nebula Project", is expected to provide cloud hosts and cloud storage products next year. The VDC service system built by China Unicom has realized the innovation of operation mode compared with the original IDC service.

In the operator's view, cloud computing will be the key node to open the information market, the value of this technology is not only to reduce costs, but also to open it information services new mileage. The market structure of the original equipment supplier, System integrator and service provider will be disrupted, and the new market roles of cloud base provider, cloud platform provider, cloud application development provider, cloud service operator and so on are replaced.

The industry's general view is that in this revolutionary it tide, the telecommunication operator with its perfect data center node, unique network advantage and the deep accumulation in the user and the channel, will have the more complete ICT service ability in the future cloud IDC market, extends the more attractive business model.
