How Novel Coronaviru(COVID-19) Boost Cloud Computing?

Online education, distance working, cloud medical consultation, cloud class, etc. Under the novel coronavirus epidemic, Cloud computing application scenarios broke out.

According to the report, the scale of China's cloud computing industry will exceed 100 billion yuan in 2019, and the growth rate will continue to exceed double digits, and the industry will show rapid growth. However, it should also be noted that at present, the cloud adoption rate of Chinese enterprises is far lower than that of European and American countries. After this battle, relying on the format of cloud computing, it has ushered in a vigorous growth.

Novel coronavirus epidemic spawns cloud computing application scenarios

In the case of novel coronavirus pneumonia, it has become normal to stay behind closed doors, and cloud office, cloud class, and cloud medical consultation have become the most popular concepts at the moment. On the battlefield of fighting against coronavirus, cloud computing has become an elite soldier fighting against coronavirus. For example, the judge of the First Intermediate Court in Beijing opened the "cloud court" to use long-distance video to conduct trials and inquiries of cases; the huge demand for online office and online teaching has made apps such as Dingtalk usher in fierce user growth. Computing has been integrated into the context of people's lives.
During the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus epidemic, cloud services showed three major trends: first, it has greatly accelerated the spread of information services; second, it has shown a high level of substitution for traditional service provision forms, driving the entire The digital development process of the society is shifting towards the direction of cloudification. Third, the public's training and acceptance cycle for cloud services has become shorter, and services such as online office and online conference have almost instantly become the work methods of various organizations.
Digital transformation drives rapid development of cloud computing

In recent years, in the process of industrial transformation, companies in various industries in China have taken advantage of emerging industrial technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence to improve production efficiency, innovation capabilities and resource utilization rates, drive changes in development models, and lay a solid foundation for the ultimate digital transformation.  Under the dual promotion of government and industry, cloud computing technology has been rapidly promoted in China. In 2018, the scale of China's cloud computing industry was 96.28 billion yuan, an increase of 39.2% year-on-year. According to preliminary estimates, the market size in 2019 exceeded 100 billion yuan, reaching 129.07 billion yuan. yuan.
The Internet is still the dominant industry

From an industry perspective, the main users of China's cloud computing are currently concentrated in the fields of Internet, transportation, logistics, finance, telecommunications, and government, of which the Internet industry accounts for 60.3%. In recent years, the amount of data in various industries has surged, and more fields have begun to use cloud computing technology to tap the value of data. Although the Internet industry is still dominant, the scale of cloud computing in transportation logistics, finance and other industries also occupies an important position.

The cloud rate of enterprises is far from that of Europe and the United States

It is worth noting that despite the rapid growth of cloud computing in China, the cloud adoption rate of Chinese companies is still far from that of major European and American companies. According to McKinsey research data, in 2018, the U.S. cloud rate has reached over 85% for U.S. companies, and the U.S. cloud rate has been around 70% for EU companies, while the U.S. cloud rate has been around 40% for Chinese companies. As the core infrastructure of the digital economy, cloud computing still has a long way to go in the future.
In the future, the depth of enterprises on the cloud will increase

However, after this battle, the digital economy seems to be dawning. Rich digital applications have quickly entered all walks of life, making almost all industries and enterprises realize the practical significance of digitalization, and began to think about how to accelerate the transformation of their own digital business.

Anti-coronavirus science and technology has become a hot topic at present, and the government is vigorously promoting it. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued a document requesting the use of a new generation of information technology to service epidemic prevention and control and resume work. In terms of scientific epidemic prevention and control, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires the use of new technologies such as the Internet, big data, and cloud computing capabilities to empower epidemic analysis, virus tracing, patient tracking, human mobility, and community management.

In the future, with the continuous deepening of government and enterprise business innovation and management reforms, along with the increasing demand for digital, networked, and intelligent transformation, it will accelerate the trend of cloud adoption by governments and large enterprises. It is expected that the cloud adoption rate will reach 2023 The Chinese government and large enterprises will get more than 60% of the cloud.
