Operators accelerate cloud computing layout open platform Change mobile internet

The pursuit of cloud computing, domestic operators are speeding up the pace of cloud landing. Recently, 2011 Mobile internet International Symposium Wireless Music Sub-forum held in the National Convention Center. The theme of the meeting, "Let's Make Life better", officially opened the prelude to the Wireless Music cloud strategy of China Mobile (Weibo).

Operators speed up the layout to help push cloud landing

As cloud computing heats up, every industry is trying to seize on cloud opportunities. Telecom equipment providers, Internet service providers, software developers and telecom operators have launched their own cloud computing concepts.

As for the three major domestic operators, in the acceleration of cloud computing strategic layout, mobile is playing a scale advantage, for the internet all kinds of infrastructure, platform and application deployment, in the public service cloud to provide a lower cost of service. According to Huang, president of China Mobile Communications Research Institute, the progress of the cloud computing development is significant, and recently its own "big cloud" 1.5 version has been completed development, it includes 5 major product areas: massive data management and analysis, flexible computing and storage, trading systems, cloud computing PAAs analysis platform and management system.

In the cloud, domestic operators to the number of telecommunications first force. In August this year, China Telecom launched the cloud computing application based on the sky wing Business and became the first communication operator to publish cloud computing strategies and solutions at home and abroad. Jingdong, Deputy chief engineer of China Telecom, said that China Telecom plans to launch a series of new cloud computing products next year, and that the current research and development and testing process is very smooth. And China Unicom, recently launched the domestic first "cloud newspaper", although the industry's mainstream voice that this landed cloud business is only a hype stunt, but undeniably, this business in the cloud to the landing level of significance more than its real business results.

As with all trends, cloud computing is surging and speculation, bubble shadow. How to push the cloud to the ground is the whole IT industry to explore the direction of the consensus. As a technology trend, cloud computing across it, the Internet, telecommunications and other fields, through the entire industrial chain, providing a new way of information production, consumption and service, in this development process, to provide unlimited space for operator transformation, and operators to add to the cloud computing more foothold.

Cloud computing promotes mobile internet industry

Mobile internet has become the inevitable direction of the transformation of telecommunications operators, relying on cloud computing, operators in the future of mobile internet How to go forward? It should be said that operators open cloud platform for future development more advantages.

Cloud computing is an important opportunity for operators to change the existing mobile Internet model and enhance the dominant power of the mobile internet industry chain. Cloud computing Competition is the platform of competition, at this point whether the public cloud or private cloud have this market characteristics, and have the scale of the platform, this scale includes users, of course, including the platform itself server size, security, scalability and service capabilities, as well as financial strength. From the operator's point of view, on the one hand, as of September, the domestic three major operators of mobile users have broken through 952 million, the size of users is the operator's biggest natural advantage. On the other hand, operators have their own networks and servers, another cornerstone of cloud computing services.

Cloud computing in the transformation of the mobile Internet industry, to bring development opportunities for operators, but also to the operators brought new challenges. Cloud computing users of high dependence on network connectivity and the desire for network speed, it should be said to the cloud era of the most operational services challenges, this is the market development is inevitable. At the same time, as the cloud computing market has just started, the current investment in public cloud computing services is not getting immediate revenue. This is also a big challenge for telecom operators with higher profitability requirements. In addition, the operator's system, traditional thinking and talent structure is a stumbling block for its foray into the cloud. The future cloud competition is not only the scale, the price competition, more importantly is the open thinking and the innovation ability contest.

The key to build a common-win industry chain

Cloud computing is a mode of organizing and managing production factors in Internet environment, it revolutionized the operation ecology of enterprise by means of "decentralization of ability and centralization of management", which has exerted far-reaching influence on communication industry and IT industry. What role will operators play in future cloud computing markets? Industry insiders believe that operators need to create an open cloud platform, to create their own-led win-win industry chain, with a new model to pull the mobile internet industry upgrade.

As a service technology trend, cloud computing will be mainly targeted to the government, telecommunications, education, medical, financial, petrochemical and electric power industries. Global Cloud computing revenue for 2011 is expected to reach $160 billion trillion and is expected to become the fastest growing industry in the world in the next few years. Deep cloud computing field, expand the cloud computing market, operators need to create a set of infrastructure services providers, platform service providers, application software services providers, cloud terminal equipment providers, cloud content providers, cloud system integrators as a whole, covering distributed storage, cloud Platform management software, cloud terminals, such as a complete industrial chain.

Looking back at the three major domestic operators of the road of cloud computing, August 31, China Telecom officially released the Sky Wing cloud computing strategy, brand and solutions, plans to officially launch next year Cloud host, cloud storage and other series of Sky cloud products. Mobile Cloud computing platform "big Cloud" has been launched at the end of 2009, China Unicom has also formulated a cloud computing medium and long term development strategy, the external business aspect mainly constructs the customer-oriented platform, provides the support for the new business transformation.
