Peak Forum: Cloud in the eyes of users, manufacturers and analysts

December 12, China Cloud World Congress held in Beijing, including Baidu, Super Cloud and Ufida and other domestic well-known it manufacturers participated in the meeting. At the meeting, including Beijing vice Mayor Gou Zhongwen and Super Cloud company chairman Tian and so on have made an important speech, and hope to work together with other manufacturers to promote the development of China's cloud computing industry.

What value can cloud computing bring to us? What does a cloud need to do for an enterprise-class user? Does the enterprise of different it processes have any special needs for the cloud? How will each manufacturer respond to the demand of many users for Yu Yun? In the afternoon large data forum, many well-known manufacturers, Users and well-known analytics company ESG sit together to discuss the future direction of cloud computing.

ESG Wang, a team of research reports from the general manager, shows that only about 30% of the overall cost of the enterprise's IT infrastructure is spent on procurement, and that much of the rest of the money is spent on maintaining and operating existing and old IT infrastructures. In the global public cloud, is still in the initial stage, and in China, due to the impact of some factors, compared with the developed countries in Europe and the United States, and presents a number of different development trends.

So what kind of service does the user need for the cloud? The technical engineers from Taikang life want to be able to dramatically shorten the deployment time, simplify management and provide security. For large and medium companies in the financial sector, security is self-evident. But for the second-hand companies of start-ups, the more important possibility is cost. Then how to deal with the different needs of large and medium sized companies?

Oracle is a relatively "backward" company, and so far has not mentioned cloud computing strategy or cloud vision, says Sishing, the global Vice-President. Oracle now has just a real product, a single product or a set of products to help users solve real problems.

VMware said that the future of cloud computing must be based on virtualization. A few years ago, when it came to data growth, it was all about the next generation of data centers, and now we're talking about cloud computing, and we all think that cloud data centers are the future. Although VMware has been talking about the cloud, does VMware have its own cloud computing?

VMware has a project called VMware on VMware, which is actually VMware's cloud computing platform. Zhang Zhenlen, a technology supervisor at VMware, said that, in addition to the above mentioned problems, he believes that the cloud platform after the construction of the good, users should be how to use? The use of the cloud platform will become more and more simple and will be as simple as people using faucets or power switches at home.

Coo Zhang Yi, from Yoyo Systems, argues that the focus of the business will be more on the big data. The focus is on whether the core processing cost can be less than the value it provides. If it is, then the analysis of the large data is meaningful, if not, that is actually meaningless.

Zhang Yi that the whole system is a more live system, communicating with each other and backing up to solve data availability problems. And the fast-deployable, easily scalable system that the second hand company needs, then this means that cloud computing itself should be malleable.

He Yinghua, a technology director at NetApp, China, thinks Hadoop is an effective tool for analyzing large data. NetApp has now forged a strategic partnership with the Hadoop Alliance to integrate large data analysis capabilities into low-end storage systems. The He Yinghua director thinks that, in addition to processing the big data, the other requirement is bandwidth, and NetApp has solved the problem perfectly. He Yinghua says Hadoop will be another turning point for NetApp.
