Prior to that, VMware's Greater China technology director, Zhang Zhenlen, moved to Huawei, where the He Yinghua, a NetApp technical director, came out with an article devoted to VMware's New Year outlook and the three major trends in cloud computing in the 2015: SDDC, Hybrid Cloud, Mobile delivery.
The following is the original
Today, the mobile Internet is changing the world with unprecedented power and speed. We are fortunate to witness the era of major business transformation. Companies are making digital changes, and product and marketing strategies are changing. In this context, IT departments must consider ways to support the changes in the enterprise in order to follow the trend of transition, and then become the leader.
To help the CIO gain the flexibility, agility and innovation needed to succeed in business, VMware has issued a series of important announcements this year in related areas, including the launch of the sky-wing hybrid cloud service with China Telecom, and the launch of the first hyper-fusion infrastructure product Evo:rail for the Chinese market. The first desktop virtualization product to build a joint lab with Lenovo, as well as a foothold in the local market and a VMware Asia Institute, pledged to invest $1 billion in the next five years.
And now, we're about to usher in a new 2015, and we're making important predictions for the new year, which will help CIOs determine the overall direction of the enterprise IT infrastructure.
Software Definition Data Center (SDDC) era
Software-defined networks, storage, data centers, and security will become more sophisticated. In the past 10 years, according to the October 2014 VMware commissioned IDC market research company's white paper "Support Software definition Enterprise" (empowering organizations in a Software tabbed world), By implementing virtualization, Chinese companies have slashed 12.3 billion of billions of dollars in capital spending and will save $45.7 billion further by 2020.
The value of simple server virtualization has come to an extreme, but with a flexible and efficient security solution, a highly automated infrastructure, and improved business continuity, it is sufficient to provide the IT flexibility, stability, and compliance required by the enterprise and to build a strong source of confidence and assurance for U2VL.
Static computing needs to be converted to dynamic computing to quickly respond to fast-changing digital services and system expansion/simplification requirements. IDC believes that the integration infrastructure and platform market will grow by 26% in 2015 to $1.47 billion trillion.
Hybrid cloud leads cloud computing future
According to the June 2014 survey data on China's cloud computing market, the 2013 China mixed cloud market size is only 5.5 billion yuan, accounting for the overall market size of cloud computing 2.6%; 2014-2017 years, the mixed cloud market will continue to grow significantly, by 2017, Market size will reach 87.9 billion yuan, accounting for the overall market size of cloud computing 26.2%. The development momentum of the mixed cloud in China will continue to soar.
Similarly, IDC analysts predict that the hybrid cloud will become the preferred datacenter infrastructure for 2015. By the end of 2015, percent enterprises will enter a mixed cloud environment with SDDC and/or integrated infrastructures.
Enterprise is migrating to it delivery mode with mobile terminals as core
As the young people who prefer to use mobile terminals continue to be the force of enterprise development, more and more enterprises are migrating to the IT delivery mode with the core of mobile terminals. The Forrester market research firm predicts that many companies in the Asia-Pacific region will launch their corporate mobility plans by mixing tablets/laptops in 2015. A generation in the age of software definition is the one behind which corporate it has turned into a mobile-centric delivery model, and they are entering the workforce. Our end-user research, "VMware meconomy 2014", reflects that 28% of college students say they are not going to join companies that limit their work with their own equipment.
A growing number of forward-looking companies in the Asia-Pacific region will begin to study employee mobility preferences, and successful companies will consider customer mobility rather than corporate mobility.
Although imperfect, cloud computing has shown its astonishing influence and will revolutionize the world in the future. The transition to cloud computing will be an important mission that CIOs must consider and do well. In the face of this historic opportunity, VMware will also combine local integrators, independent software vendors, technology partners, Hybrid Cloud partners China Telecom Sky Wing Cloud and international well-known manufacturers and other partners to create a thriving cloud computing ecosystem, from software definition data center, Enterprise mobile strategy to hybrid cloud strategy to help customers transform and upgrade.
