How to develop enterprise cloud storage

Recently, at the "IBM Smart Cloud Storage Forum" , IBM shared how "new cloud storage capabilities" can help enterprises set up a cloud storage environment. At the same time, the cloud storage expert forum also discussed how enterprises can do well in cloud storage Storage trip. Zhou Zhengang, senior manager of IDC's China-based enterprise systems and software research division, also gave a speech on the trends and prospects of cloud storage and shared his experience.

In terms of the industry, it is the user's expectation for the user whether the cloud storage product, the trend development, and the future trend meet the user's needs. However, according to the solution of the manufacturer, how to enable the storage manufacturers and users in the future To achieve a win-win situation is the key.

Zhou Zhengang, IDC's China-based enterprise systems research group, analyzed at the meeting that by 2014, 50% of the storage space will be sold and Storage-as-a-Service will become the primary application of cloud services. Cloud storage is growing rapidly in cloud services. By 2013, the share of IT cloud services in storage will increase from 9% in 2009 to 14%. The cloud sets new demands on storage devices and capabilities.

In addition, IDC's user research reports show more flexibility in response to market changes, better and faster provisioning, and scalability in terms of market share expansion, cost savings, and operational efficiencies. Driven by IT, business has created a new business change, whether it is private or public clouds, flexible and fast support for business changes.

Second, mobile applications, big data, new data from social commerce, and cloud computing are all changing the trend toward IT, leading to the most significant feature of these four platforms over the past when users will be dozens Hundreds of millions of degrees, this put forward requirements for intelligent storage.

As a result, Zhou Zhengang, IDC's China-based enterprise systems research department, said that the shift in IT spending has shifted from traditional IT deployment models to public clouds or hosted private clouds or building their own private clouds. For China's cloud computing market, the next few years will maintain more than 30% of the high growth, and storage in the cloud computing will provide more than just data storage devices but services.
