How to go about the cloud of telecom operators?

Cloud Computing's various business plans are already quite rich, operators of the road to cloud computing is also very cautious. China Telecom officially launched the Sky Wing Cloud Computing Program in 2009, a few days ago, the sky-wing cloud storage portal quietly online, through the issuance of invitation code to test, the current beta has entered the second stage. China Telecom's cloud computing company, which has been circulating for a long time, was also a low-key listing in April, while China Telecom invested in building "China Telecom cloud Inner Mongolia Information Park" base in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.


　　


China Telecom is taking a series of measures to cut into the cloud storage market and accelerate the layout of the cloud computing market. What is the consideration of China Telecom's first foothold in cloud strategy in the cloud storage area where the Giants are crowding together? To China Telecom, to the entire operation industry will bring what impact? How to go about the cloud of telecom operators? With these questions, the reporter interviewed the well-known telecommunications expert Xiang.


　　


cloud Computing in the industry in the application of diverse forms, telecommunications operators of cloud computing development is still in the initial stage. At home, China Telecom officially launched the Sky Wing Cloud Computing Program in 2009, and completed the pilot and resource pool deployment of six cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu by 2011. August 31, 2011, China Telecom officially released the Sky Wing cloud computing strategy, brand and solutions, proposed to professional operation, that is, the establishment of cloud computing company.


　　


China Telecom is the first to release cloud computing strategy and solutions to the operators. In the business application, China Telecom 2011 IDC revenue 4.3 billion, is expected to reach 6 billion this year. This 1.7 billion yuan growth will come from cloud computing, and cloud Computing's first station, China Telecom, the main push cloud storage services.


　　


It is understood that in the sky-wing cloud storage period, where the new registered users will be able to receive 18.9G of storage space, and in the process of using every time there is a 50M space gift, invite friends to register a gift 200M. At present, the Sky Wing cloud storage support the extension of breakpoint, private space, Address book backup, photo album image browsing, music and video online playback and other functions; in Android, PC, IPhone, ipad and other platforms have provided client downloads.


　　


Insiders commented that: "China Telecom has been a harbinger of this, in the last year, China Telecom Group on the provincial company's data center planning and construction Rights." "When the cloud computing strategy was released last year, China Telecom has formulated a" three-step "strategy: The first step to unify the construction and deployment of the National cloud Computing data center; the second step is to build a unified network of cloud management platform, the third step, relying on the optical network covering the whole country, realize the high-speed interconnection of cloud data center and user high-speed access Convergence of broadband and cloud computing. For the first step, China Telecom is taking a solid step, for the second step, China Telecom Beijing Institute of Cloud Computing Research Center Autonomous Construction, and for the third step, relying on urban optical network and broadband speed-raising plan, also in the orderly development process.


　　


Cloud computing concept for the melee of the terminal operators, equipment operators and operators, the interests of different demands. The three major domestic operators have begun to layout the cloud market, 3G high-speed wireless network + fixed broadband network of three-dimensional coverage is the unique advantage of operators to provide cloud services.


　　


Although the application of cloud computing is diverse, but can not exceed the scope of IT services, China Telecom to implement the first step of cloud computing strategy in the giant cluster of cloud storage area, is based on how to consider?


　　


well-known telecommunications experts, flying Elephant Network President Xiang that: "Cloud computing is the core of the problem is the cloud storage, as for the storage after how to apply that is the specific operation of the problem, so the most central level is storage." For operators such as China Telecom, its ability is not as an application, nor to provide some applications, but to provide a large system, can do some support, so in this sense, China Telecom's own cloud computing strategy from the beginning of the cloud, is undoubtedly correct, Or it can be said to conform to its own characteristics of a strategy. ”


　　


analysis that operators into the cloud market will be a major change in the IT industry, Xiang that the argument is too arbitrary, telecom operators to join the cloud computing market, certainly has a significant impact on the industry, has a positive significance, but said it can lead to a major change in the industry, it is too early. For operators, cut into the cloud market is not a full business operations, but should be their most advantageous characteristics to play out, this is a huge market, it is not possible to become a person's market or a company's market, operators in this large market to find opportunities, so for China Telecom, What is needed is to find a valuable opportunity to collaborate with more companies in the cloud market to complement each other.


　　


Throughout the world, almost all it giants are laying out cloud computing. Cloud computing era is gradually approaching, cloud computing data Center as the cornerstone of promoting ICT integration, development of cloud business, has become the future trend.


　　


in the domestic operation, China Telecom in Hohhot, "cloud computing in the Inner Mongolia information Park" base, the total investment estimate of 17.3 billion yuan, the total area of 1500 mu; China Mobile (hohhot) data Center project, covering 1600 acres, the first two period investment about 12 billion China Unicom Northwest (Hohhot) base project covers an area of 973 acres, will be the construction of China Unicom group EDC Data Disaster Preparedness Center, IDC Data Operations Center, Cloud Computing Center, Customer call Service Center and High-tech Research and Development Center, the total investment of about 12.3 billion yuan.


　　


Foreign It giants such as Google, Amazon, IBM and so on in the cloud to start than the domestic operators earlier, cloud computing war of gunpowder more and more thick. Xiang that China Telecom into the cloud market, has produced a series of effects: On the one hand, because China Telecom's strength is very strong, layout cloud market will be in the promotion of services and so on is a positive impact, on the other hand, for the same provision of cloud storage enterprises will produce a direct competitive relationship, with the intensification of The price will naturally fall.


　　


Cloud Computing is more of a business model, such as the current wisdom of urban construction, building intelligent pipelines, the transformation of mobile Internet and other strategies. For operators in the future cloud computing development, Xiang that: cloud computing as a system, not as we imagine so mysterious, different enterprises have different characteristics, according to their own advantages to find their own opportunities to release the biggest role of cloud computing, is the operator should do.
