"Cloud technology" is quietly emerging. Kevin Tena, Microsoft's chief operating officer, predicts that the advent of the cloud will usher in a third it wave in the world. Whether traditional equipment business can borrow "cloud technology" successfully change development mode, still need to wait and see future our correspondent Yi Lingshan now, Microsoft, HP and other large multinational companies are poised to send, ready to borrow "cloud" machine, establish industry hegemony.  In the face of such a huge market, China's communications equipment manufacturing giant Huawei also announced a high-profile march into the "cloud computing" industry, Huawei President Ren said, on the cloud platform, to be in less than a long time to catch up and surpass Cisco, in the cloud business to catch up with Google. Giant companies seize the "cloud" initiative Microsoft chief Operating Officer Kevin Tena recently announced that "cloud technology", the emergence of the world ushered in a third it wave. As the world's leading software and solutions provider, Microsoft has been fully committed to the "cloud" to embrace the "cloud" market changes. He also disclosed that Microsoft plans to spend more than 9.5 billion dollars a year on the development of "cloud technology" and related work, and this ratio is expected to reach 90%. In the face of Microsoft's menacing, HP is not to be outdone.  According to media reports, Hewlett-Packard will launch a business-oriented cloud computing service next month, which is provided by Hewlett-Packard's data center in Tulsa, the United Kingdom, and Vinyard, which also promises server 99.9% uptime. Cloud computing is a new IT service model that combines computer and network technology.  Cloud computing equipment manufacturers, operators, software providers, internet platforms, etc. tied together, its rise for any one of the quartet is a rare opportunity for development, and even pointed out that seize the "cloud" is equivalent to get the next 20 in the IT industry "powerful" trump card. Also in recent days, China's communications equipment giants Huawei also released its own cloud computing strategy and solutions, usually low-key Huawei President Ren Ambition, said Huawei on the cloud platform to catch up in less than a long time, beyond Cisco, in the cloud business to catch up with Google. ZTE is also "eyeing" cloud technology. Liupingsheng, president of ZTE Research Institute, revealed that ZTE began to study and explore the cloud computing model as early as 2003, and will be expected to continue to lead in future cloud computing technology with its inherent telecom advantage.  The company also took the lead in launching the cloud's informal interest group as the first vendor to set up a cloud standards group in the IETF Standards Organization. Why are device makers obsessed with cloud technology's "cloud computing" concept, means a new computing model and network application model, which aims to integrate a series of lower cost computing entities into a perfect system with powerful operational capability through the network, and its core idea is to make the user realize the need to enjoy the cloud by continuously improving the "cloud" processing ability.  "The easiest handling service. With the maturity of cloud computing technology, cloud computing will become more and more popular, the government and enterprise Informatization will be "paperless office" phase to "no IT Infrastructure" higherStage.  Cloud computing has significantly lowered the government, enterprises and individuals to obtain IT resources costs, for users to obtain IT resources and services to facilitate, so that the operational efficiency greatly improved; for small and medium-sized enterprises is particularly meaningful, previously unavailable professional IT services with the application of cloud technology will be popularized, greatly enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. For device makers, developing cloud technology means more opportunities and more lucrative profits. Rosant, ZTE's chief architect, has said that for device manufacturers, the opportunity for cloud computing is to improve competitiveness.  In the past, the cost of it construction in the telecommunication industry was very high, and the advent of cloud computing enabled the device operators to solve the problem by leasing, while the use of profit-sharing means that the device could serve more users in order to gain greater profit margins. After the popularity of cloud computing, for equipment manufacturers, corporate network this piece of "cake" can be much larger than the telecommunications network. It is easy to see from Cisco's revenues that the company's revenue for fiscal year 2009 is as high as $36.1 billion, higher than most telecoms equipment providers, and most of that revenue comes from corporate networks rather than telecoms networks. In China, with the Chinese government in the electricity, railways, medical and other industries in large-scale investment, these industries on the demand for information will be explosive growth, the market scale is more than billions.  It is not surprising that it giants and equipment makers have invested heavily in developing cloud technology. Cloud computing or changing the mode of the device business in the traditional information industry chain, equipment manufacturers often belong to the upstream industry to provide equipment and terminal products. With the advent of the cloud era, the information industry chain will be composed, the benefits will be redistributed.  At present, some equipment Shangzheng painstaking research "cloud computing", want to transform into cloud industry chain protagonist. Just last May, Huawei and Avnet signed a distribution agreement for infrastructure products, and began a gradual exploration of marketing channels from the operator's market to the corporate web market.  Huawei for many years the purpose of doing pipelines, hardware, providing base station equipment, routers, switches, etc., now put the "cloud" to the same location as the pipeline, which shows the importance of cloud computing strategy in Huawei's future strategy. However, it is not easy for the plumber to switch to cloud technology. The changes brought about by cloud computing are huge, and as a device provider, the real understanding of the needs of cloud service providers and cloud users is particularly critical.  In particular, the current development of cloud services is good, equipment manufacturers must be in the scalability, performance, cost and so fully consider the business development of cloud service providers. In the case of equipment providers, once the cloud services enter the business market, they will be more to face the consumer, and Huawei, this is not just the type of business adjustment, but also the challenge of the way of thinking. Ding, vice president of Huawei, said on Weibo: "The 35-day experience of Weibo's real name has been more of an unfamiliar and uncomfortable it force." Huawei's biggest challenge to ICT may not be technology and products, but our once-successful brains. ”
