International giants take the lead in their respective fields and plunge into the cloud storage market

Today, consumers face more and more terminals, content in the transfer between the terminals become more cumbersome, and photos and video data and other explosive growth, the capacity of handheld devices is gradually difficult to support the huge storage requirements, cloud storage naturally generated. Major manufacturers have lost no chance to launch cloud storage products to compete for mobile internet users.

In foreign countries, the international giants take the lead in their respective fields and plunge into the cloud storage market. Google uses its search hegemony to launch applications based on cloud storage, such as Google Drive, Apple's use of terminal advantages, the introduction of "one Cloud to end" product Icloud;dropbox into the viral marketing concept, the use of Word-of-mouth MLM and reward space simultaneously to achieve the scale of personal network development.

In the domestic, the cloud storage product presents the coexistence situation of the multiplex competition. From the cloud storage enterprise view, each base application convergence, but in the product development line slightly different. Sina to the micro-blog to attract users to its micro-disk concern, Jinshan to cloud the traditional application tools for the main focus on the online collaborative office functions, Tencent also has its products QQ for selling points inserted into the network application.

In this competition era of strong hegemony and black horse generation, cloud storage vendors must strengthen their ability to provide cloud storage services in order to build their own advantages, while the cloud storage service capabilities need to be built from multiple perspectives. First, we must have the hardware and software resources to provide stable and reliable service. Whether it is a public cloud, a private cloud, as a storage service, must have a stable and reliable storage equipment as a support, while the hardware based on the storage software services, but also the need for a continuous and reliable service capabilities. To this end, as a cloud storage vendors, need to do a long-term technical accumulation, with the assurance of data storage reliability, stability and strength.

Second, cloud storage involves a wide range of areas, we need to broaden the end-user's demand, excavate the combination of cloud storage and application software, and form a cloud storage function with characteristic and application market, so that the application software or end users can feel the benefits of cloud storage, so that more users will be willing to move to the cloud storage.

Finally, there needs to be a sustainable business model. Business model is the key to maintain long-term competitiveness. At present, free mode, FREE + fee combination mode, additional service mode and many other modes coexist, cloud storage business model is the embodiment of comprehensive ability, not only technology and money, but also patience. A sustainable business model is also an important reference for users to continue to use the cloud storage services provided by vendors, and if users have no confidence in the vendor, they will never save their data to the cloud storage center. Therefore, cloud storage vendors on the basis of good technology accumulation, need to explore and improve their business model, embark on a virtuous path of sustainable development.
