Huang, global vice president of Deutsche Telekom: Chinese companies prefer private cloud

Huang, global vice-president of Deutsche Telekom, said in an interview that now http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/6223.html "> Deutsche Telekom's own private cloud is a global private cloud, a platform for German-owned private cloud in the country is part of the entire global private cloud platform. Chinese companies, especially their computing platforms at home, are willing to stay in their data centers and stay on their platforms. Last year Deutsche Telekom launched a business that used our technology to build large private clouds for our customers in our customers ' data centers. This goal is mainly for China's top 150 companies. This is also the entire German telecom in the world, in the only one country to provide business.

Huang said that throughout the ICT industry, the IT+CT industry, two major trends, no matter which companies as long as the two major trends, must be in a few years will exit the field. One big trend is cloud computing, the second big trend is mobile internet.

The following is a transcript of the interview:

Reporter: I know that Deutsche Telekom has invested five cloud computing processing centers in China, and I don't know how the processing center works, including how to do some technical support between these five operations centers and the core businesses that Deutsche Telekom you just mentioned.

Huang: Now Deutsche Telekom's own private cloud is a private cloud of the world, based on our Shanghai, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Houston, Germany, Frankfurt, Munich, and so on. Many of our large multinational companies as our customers, he put the entire computing platform on our private cloud, so our domestic private cloud platform is part of our entire global private cloud platform. At the same time we are now starting last year, in order to meet the special requirements of Chinese enterprises, Chinese companies in particular their domestic computing platform, they are willing to stay in their own data center, stay on their platform. Last year we started a business, which is the whole of Deutsche Telecom in the world, in the only country to provide the business, that is, using our technology, using our solutions, in our customers data center for customers to build large private cloud. This goal is mainly for China's top 150 companies, why? Because they have this scale, including through their globalization, including their size, can achieve through the use of this cloud to maximize the efficiency.

Journalist: Why is there such a business? Is China's enterprise development stage decided, or is it that China's market has its special place, the German telecom will launch such a special service for Chinese enterprises?

Huang: This may be on the one hand I think with Chinese enterprises in the face of the so-called ICT, that is, information and communication technology in the stage is not the same, on the other hand I think there are some cultural, conceptual, conceptual aspects of the problem.

For example, we look at the IT market, it market China's enterprises more large-scale access to information should be ten years ago, this more Chinese enterprises are their own to buy the server, buy systems, implementation system, finally put into operation. This process is very long, short enterprises may be two to three years, long enterprise to today are not finished. In front of the large multinational companies, probably starting from 78 ago their practice is not the same, because the world changes faster and faster, it may be 10 years 20 years a financial crisis, now may every two or three years will appear some big problems.

On the other hand, the market changes are also very large, so these multinationals he will be able to respond to the changes in the world market, flexibility to adapt to the ability to become a core competency of the enterprise, which is also included in the It can be very flexible contingency. What is the premise? If I want to do an IT system implementation, for example, the implementation of ERP system, I will spend three years, then I set down to do, three years later, the market has changed, that is, I follow the current plan to do things can not meet the market after three years of demand, then the investment is wasted. So the advanced multinational company more put our original said planning, distribution implementation, design, selection, implementation, production such a very long chain, into a very short chain. Two steps: The first defines the requirement, and the second buys the demand. In other words, he omitted a lot of intermediate to buy software, buy hardware, do the process of implementation. This is why in the past 78, in the European and American markets, especially in the private cloud this speed is very fast. They are not just through cloud computing technology to obtain a lot of economic benefits, that is, the use of cloud computing, the general so-called it's total cost can be reduced by 40% or higher, not only to achieve this benefit, more importantly, they have the ability to quickly respond to market conditions quickly.

I believe in this ability. As Chinese enterprises expand in the country and gradually enter the international market, including further globalization, including further transnational, Chinese enterprises also need more and more capacity in this area, including the ability of rapid response, this time will also produce some changes in ideas. Now the main Chinese enterprises are still in a process, because after all, most of our Chinese enterprises involved in information technology or nearly ten years of things. I believe that this Chinese enterprise as long as the beginning, the pace must be very fast.

Reporter: What do you think of the future development of China's cloud computing business in the market?

Huang: In the future, if we look across the ICT industry, the IT+CT industry, two major trends, no matter which company as long as the two major trends, must be in a few years will exit the field. One big trend is cloud computing, the second big trend is mobile internet. If we look at cloud computing alone, cloud computing has grown by nearly 50% a year in China over the past five years. We estimate that, in the course of the next 5-10 years, the rate of growth will be much higher than that. The same is mobile internet, mobile internet many experts, including agencies that the mobile Internet is an extension of the internet itself, so there will not be a lot of big changes, or great changes. I think there is a certain gap with the future development of mobile Internet, why do you say so? Because actually the emergence of mobile internet is the real beginning of the Internet, we should look at this problem from this perspective. Originally this internet more is a "by the Internet" concept, that is to say you want to surf the Internet, you have to go back to the office, to go back home to open the computer Internet, you can connect to the Internet, is "interconnected" concept. Now that you have the mobile Internet, you are interconnected anytime, anywhere, the beginning of the real Internet. The potential for this is not only in the traditional areas of telecommunications, data, including, for example, the many e-commerce we see now, including all aspects of applications, and so on, there are many areas. Its arrival will have a tremendous impact on the entire industry.

For example, car networking, the original car everyone more feel that the car is hardware, I bought this car today, next year to change a car, I will buy a car again. The emergence of the mobile internet now has many industry forecasts, including this January Las Vegas Consumer Electronics exhibition, milestone like the first time the car giant put the car into the Consumer electronics exhibition to show, what does this mean? This opens up a new era in which cars turned out to be industrial products and become an electronic consumer. Maybe later I bought a car today, I need some new features, I may not go to buy a new car, I through the mobile internet can be a lot of features in the form of software download to my car. This may involve the identification of roads, security, better sound, better mobile internet functions, and so on. Now there is a forecast that after 10 years may be the value of a car, look at all its costs, there are 30% may be software, today may be 0.01%, the emergence of the possible, it is based on the mobile internet, including a huge cloud of the rear. For example, now that you're driving a car on the road, you want to make sure the car can identify the road ahead, including some when there is a tree fell down, there are no stones on the road, whether there is a sharp turn, including the front is not a finite speed and so on, now the car can not do, to do this, it needs a huge computational power. With mobile internet and cloud computing, this car system can take these photos in a few microseconds, a few microseconds sent to the back of the cloud, a few microseconds in the clouds to you identify, the information to you to the car, it will remind you to pay attention to what happened in front, you should not drive too fast and so on, That opens up a new era in the automotive industry. In other words, these things rely on the original internet can not do, only the mobile internet, only the generation of cloud computing, you may reach this point.
