More than 10 enterprises into Beijing Cloud base layout cloud computing industry chain

Many years ago, the mention of Tian, people will naturally associate with the Asian letter, Netcom. Today, the Tian three words are tightly linked with the cloud base.

Cloud Base is located in Beijing also Zhuang, led by Tian of broadband capital investment, was born in August 2010, investment 500 million yuan, covers an area of 7000 square meters, more than 10 enterprises. This is Beijing "Xiangyun project" in the first cloud computing demonstration base.

Cloud base of the enterprise business is launched around the cloud, from the cloud server to the cloud and cloud computing software system platform, distributed in the cloud industry chain in all aspects. In order to build cloud base this cloud industry chain, Tian not less thinking. Because such things have not been done before, there is no experience to follow, can only stones, but it is a fancy to the industry chain integration brought about by the aggregation effect, Tian decided to devote himself to weaving clouds, the whole love into his third venture.

Tian Weaving Cloud

Tian's career has been transformed from a different role, from Asiainfo president to "broadband", to today's cloud base founder. The switching of different identities allows Tian to have a comprehensive view of the field of ICT and unique insights. This time, he pressed the treasure on the cloud.

The origins of things are also from the Tian of Silicon Valley, the United States.

In the United States, Tian's first exposure to cloud computing gave him a second burst of entrepreneurial passion, as he thought cloud computing was a technological revolution that brought together the three industries of it, communications and the Internet, and he couldn't wait to talk to friends about cloud computing, Because he is eager to bring this change to China, so that Chinese enterprises can become the tide of the revolution.

Since then, he began to spare no effort to preach cloud computing, and in major media, forums published a number of articles on cloud computing. When people do not yet know what cloud computing is, Tian explains the meaning of the cloud in simple terms: "cloud computing is the ability of everyone to enjoy a supercomputer at the same price as a book." "He thinks the computer starts with the mainframe and finally cloud computing."

At the beginning of 2010, Tian's broadband capital and Beijing Economic and technological development zone invested in the construction of cloud base. Tian See quasi cloud computing, development zone also optimistic about cloud computing, broadband capital and Development zone cooperation is hit.

Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone CMC deputy director Zhaoxin told reporters that the main responsibility of the Development Zone Committee is to do a good job of building the entire industry, layout work, and cloud computing is the country to the corporate common understanding of the industry, is a strategic emerging industries. The positioning of the development zone is to develop high-end manufacturing and strategic emerging industries, so it is necessary to do a good job in this area of investment and publicity, it is because of such publicity, enterprises will be attracted and stationed. It is not difficult to understand the cooperation with broadband capital.

Development zone to the cloud base such enterprises the most important support is to create a high-end talent here at ease of research and development, work, living convenience environment. For example, the surrounding establishment of public rental housing, hospitals, schools and other facilities, which are to attract talent, because talent is a key factor in industrial development. "The development zone gives more than 100 million yuan a year to support scientific and technological innovation, reward independent innovation, scientific leaders, fast-growing enterprises, guide and encourage enterprise independent innovation, and constantly do strong and bigger." Zhaoxin explained.

"The broadband capital plan will continue to invest 7 billion yuan in cloud servers, cloud storage, cloud applications, container data centers, cloud operating systems and other fields by 2012," he said. "We think this is a better direction, not only to give investors a good return, but also to actively promote the development of the industry," Tian said at the background start ceremony of the "Xiangyun Project" in Beijing last year.

Cluster settled

Tian Yun Technology Vice President Zhang Fubo, in order to speed up innovation-driven, vigorously develop strategic emerging industries, to create "Beijing to create" the main force of the brand, the development Zone launched a series of support policies, such as rent relief, promote the establishment of cloud computing industry Alliance. August 2010, the cloud base in Beijing Economic informatization Committee, Beijing Development Zone and broadband capital joint investment under the establishment, soon formed a cloud industry ecosystem cluster, cloud base of enterprises covered by the cloud computing industry chain of various key links, including distributed data centers, cloud servers, thin terminals, Cloud storage and other hardware products, cloud operating systems, desktop virtual applications, such as basic software, intelligent knowledge Base, data mining systems and other applications, as well as cloud system integration, cloud applications.

It is understood that the current cloud base of more than 10 enterprises, cloud technology, heaven and earth, Super Cloud, Friends of the system, cloud trends, Netcom Broadband, day-run financing, the World cloud box, space-based communication, cloud base, cloud era, heaven and earth Xiangyun, cloud like missing, Czech Republic, Beijing-Lian Yun, as well as in the cloud network, and some enterprises are also in negotiations, There will always be new businesses to join in.

At the beginning of the establishment, in order to prop up the entire cloud base of the industrial chain, Tian see good talent and entrepreneurial projects to pull to the cloud base. Now the Wei Yiqun CEO of Heaven and earth is one of them.

Wei Yiqun and Tian quite Yuanyuan, Tian also in the Netcom when Wei in his hands together, 2009 Wei Yiqun participate in, as the world's CEO. In addition to Tian, cloud technology behind the shareholders also include Ming, Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, Quanta Computer founder Limberi, Granville CEO Chen and other industry bosses.

Tian has been considered a very passionate person, this point from his first two successful entrepreneurial process can be seen in the clues, heaven and earth Cloud Box CEO Xu Hongzhong is also the Tian of this passion infected, joined his cloud weaving army, became the world's number one cloud box staff. In addition, Fu Quan, the chief operating officer of the world's cloud box, was also moved by the free, active and dynamic atmosphere of the cloud base, after Sun was acquired by Oracle, who chose to leave and plunge into the entrepreneurial ranks of the cloud base.

Friends of the system CEO Yao Hongyu is Tian pull into the cloud base of another "wasteland".

After endorsing Tian's idea of integrating the industrial chain with capital, Yao Hongyu's company accepted the injection of broadband capital into the cloud base in the first half of 2010, and the friend system became another cloud member of the cloud base.

Industrial chain coordinated operation

In this industry chain, cloud base for the cloud system enterprises to provide financial, human, administrative, legal and other aspects of the sharing of services; Cloud Network to do cloud computing domain portal; space-based communication is a cloud network facilities provider, for multinational enterprises in China to provide cloud computing network services; The cloud box is mainly a cloud data center provider, Development of modular data center products; friends and cloud trends are dedicated to cloud computing operating system development, providing the basic technology platform for cloud computing companies; World Super Cloud belongs to resource pool providers, mainly do cloud computing server research and manufacturing, cloud technology is the total integrator.

According to the introduction, in the cloud base, the traditional data center was put into a green container called the Cloud box, can accommodate the equivalent of four National Library data, applicable to industrial parks, research institutes, Intelligent City, IDC expansion of new, disaster preparedness Center and many other scenes. May 2011 Cloud Box officially released, this is China's first commercial modular data center, "the deployment of such a ' cloud box ', just 6 weeks time." "Fu Quan told reporters," compared with the traditional IDC, the Cloud box a single cabinet load increased 5 times times, space savings 4 times times the total power savings of more than 50%, electricity expenditure will save more than 50%.

In Tian's plan, the World Cloud box was set up to solve the problem of one of the most important infrastructure data centers in cloud computing. Industry experts said that the one-time investment, long construction cycle, difficult to manage the traditional data center has long been inconsistent with the development trend of cloud computing, foreign began to rise in the modular data center model, such as Intel and other manufacturers have already begun to deploy such container data center. The greatest value of this pattern is the ease with which the engineering product, customer design, and deployment of the data center will be made.

Xu Hongzhong is very clear about the positioning of the cloud box, "If the cloud computing data center needs to be done in a modular way, then we are the people who provide the module." In fact, such a "tangible" product is also a typical embodiment of cloud computing landing.

In addition to the cloud box, China's first cloud server "Super Cloud" at the end of 2009 has also been officially offline at the cloud base. It is understood that the Super cloud Server from the concept to trial-production stage, only 8 months, and from the first server down to the series of new products released, also only spent a short period of three months.

Cloud base employees told reporters that the super Cloud server is a rack-type and high-density multiple independent nodes, per kilowatt performance of not less than 375GFLOPS, fully redundant modular design. Its flexible and Easy-to-use management provides an important deployment condition for infrastructure construction in cloud computing. At present, the Super Cloud server has released 5 series of 25 products, and in China Mobile, Baidu, Taobao, 360 and other companies testing and application.

As a fundamental part of the entire cloud computing industry chain, if the cloud base in IDC and the server to obtain these two important technical breakthroughs, for cloud computing provides a solid platform for hardware infrastructure, then friends of the system for cloud computing applications to build an efficient software system platform.

"3 years ago, we had a very small system of friends, and we took the market strategy of ' rural siege cities ' by avoiding multinational companies," Yao Hongyu said. "Today, we have in the main battlefield of cloud computing and transnational enterprises face competition, and each has its own victory and defeat."

At present, the friends of the system employs more than 100 people, "so far, we still have full shareholding, including drivers." Venture companies are very risky, have the risk of everyone to bear, then, have the benefit should also share. "Yao Hongyu said. Due to the rapid growth of business, it is expected that the demand for friends of the Year will multiply, "we can not find a sufficient number of technical personnel to make us very headache."

The start-up of the new market is often the first shot by the talent competition, friend system recruitment problems encountered headaches, but also reflects the cloud computing this new market has started. "Although the cloud computing market is still immature, cloud computing will certainly subvert the existing information technology and communications market and change existing industrial structures over the next 5 years," he said. "Yao Hongyu thinks.

The integration of industrial chain has brought benefits maximization to cloud base enterprises. Tian Yun Technology Vice President Zhang Fubo told reporters that the cloud base of each enterprise, although their respective independence, but when there are related projects in the industrial chain upstream and downstream enterprises will be linked to each other, coordinated combat, so that the interests of enterprises to maximize the embodiment.

The effect of experimental plots

Since 2010, the Beijing Economic and technological development zone to support cloud computing enterprises to build cloud base in the establishment, attracted to cover the cloud computing industry chain in the middle and lower reaches of enterprises, to achieve the cloud computing industry in the development zone in the first layout and small-scale industrialization.

Jiang Guiping, deputy director of Beijing Economic and Information Technology Commission, has said that cloud base is the world's first software, hardware and services in one of the cloud computing industry base, is to achieve industrial agglomeration development of an experimental plot.

September 27, 2011, Beijing also Zhuang "China Cloud Industry Park" officially launched, including Baidu Cloud Computing Center project, cloud computing system equipment manufacturing base project, cloud computing Research and Development Operations Center project, KDDI (Japan Telecom Operators) data Center project, The first 5 projects of the Beijing Telecom Data Center were signed at the initiation ceremony and the total investment amounted to 26.1 billion yuan.

"China Cloud Industrial Park" target positioning in the construction of "two centers, a base, a platform", namely, China's largest cloud computing technology research and Development Center, China's largest cloud computing operations and value-added services center, China's largest cloud computing system equipment manufacturing base, China's largest cloud computing data platform.

Development zone in order to promote the cloud computing industry chain and the healthy development of the market, with the support of relevant departments in the city, in April 2011 set up a cloud computing intellectual Property Innovation Alliance, has gathered 27 enterprises, effectively promoted the development Zone cloud computing institutions in the formation of resource sharing mechanism.

Zhaoxin Introduction, although the impact of cloud base on the development zone is still difficult to do qualitative, quantitative evaluation, because it is still in the process of development, but the development of the cloud industry will be very rapid, will become the pillar industry development Zone, the development zone is very optimistic about the future of cloud industry.

"China Cloud Industrial Park" launched, Beijing also will be through the cluster planning development, financial leverage to help push, related policies, strengthen the soft environment construction and other innovative models to fully protect and help push the development of Beijing's cloud industry chain. And all of this happened with the leading role of cloud base inseparable.

In Zhang Fubo's words, the industrial chain integration of cloud base embodies the polymerization effect, is the benign competition of the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain, and reduces the repeated investment.

"This year, the project on cloud computing will go into the development and production phase, including infrastructure, such as Baidu's data center, and this year is a year of implementation," he said. The launch of the project will play an important role in the development of cloud industry in the ' Twelve-Five ' period. "Zhaoxin said.

With the accumulation effect gradually appearing, the scale of cloud base is also expanding unceasingly. Next, Tian will expand the Beijing cloud base model to other cities. The first is not Shanghai, and Beijing Cloud base is different, Shanghai will be more inclined to build cloud computing application Enterprise cluster, in the mode will also adopt different ways. Then there may be in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing and other places to establish a base.
