Pilot cloud storage Lenovo Network disk strategic transformation fruitful

Introduction: With the maturity of cloud computing technology, cloud storage is becoming the vanguard of cloud computing development. Only Amazon's cloud-storage business earned more than $500 million a year in 2010, an increase of 40% in revenue. Such a large piece of cake, more exciting many domestic it manufacturers envious catch-up, have dabbled in the cloud storage business. In the domestic market, a group of network manufacturers are also actively seeking transformation, and Lenovo Network Plate is staged a gorgeous transformation show. Lenovo Institute of Data management technology manager Luo Jinjin December 15, 2007, Lenovo Network Disk officially online, the promise of "lifelong service permanent", including free personal storage and professional version of the two versions. Whether it is the trust of Lenovo's brand, or Lenovo network plate recognition, as of the end of 2008, Lenovo has attracted millions of fans, and fans spontaneously set up a forum, the user actively assume moderator posts.　　It can be said that, compared to other free network disk, Lenovo network disk is a solo show. Lenovo Network Disk Strategic transformation results in a short period of two or three years, at home and abroad there are no less than hundreds of kinds of network disk, these nets are in the form of similar free storage services.　　In the fierce competition of the market tide, Lenovo network disk began to think calmly how to better reflect their own value. For this stage of strategic thinking, Lenovo Institute of Data management technology manager Luo Jinjin gave the explanation: "For Lenovo, Free is not a healthy business model." Lenovo Network has been committed to providing users with a good and reliable service experience, and this experience must be built on a healthy business model. "So, how to build a healthy business model," Luo Jinjin said: "To achieve such a goal, there must be an input-output, there is investment in return." "So, when many free network disk is still fighting for the user to fight a life-and-death, Lenovo network disc quietly completed a major strategic transformation." After the new fiscal year of April 1, 2009, after a series of discussions, Lenovo made a very difficult decision: "Stop all the free service." Users who were previously free to get a Web disk can still download their own data, but they cannot upload new data.　　Since then, Lenovo Network has started to transform from free mode to charging mode. Since Lenovo opened the charging mode, the vast majority of Internet users do not intend to pay services, to the other free network. Although there are still some of the paid individual users, there are still nine of them compared to the number of millions users.　　But all this, Luo Jinjin said all in Lenovo network disk is expected. After the implementation of the charging strategy, Lenovo Network launched two services, one is for the personal business Network disk, the other is for the enterprise network disk.　　Business network, hanging on the internet so that users find it themselves, buy their own use, the number of users is small, but it is also growing steadily. Lenovo Network Disk put most of the energy into the enterprise network. The reason is that businesses need reliable storage products becauseThe key to the business, once it fails, the entire business can no longer operate, which is very dangerous, so the company is willing to pay for this part of the service. And they will definitely choose a brand, reliable and professional company.　　Lenovo Network Disk Enterprise network is becoming the preferred service for users with this type of demand. Luo Jinjin to Zol reporter disclosed a group of data: At present Lenovo Network disk has been used in more than 20 industries, the total number of enterprises to reach hundreds of.　　Moreover, Luo Jinjin is pleased to find that from 2009 to 2011, nearly 3 years of time, each year the old customers will increase investment, incremental purchase of some new services. Lenovo Network disk Fearless new competitors supposedly, Lenovo Network disk transformation fee model, will be in the new market areas encounter peer competition. In fact, Lenovo Network disk in the business development is rarely met peers. "I was very puzzled at the beginning," said Luo Jinjin, "Enterprise users will not generally compare Lenovo network with other similar products, and more is the QQ mailbox, FTP, such as remote file transfer of free tools for comparison." "Through specific research, Luo Jinjin found that at present the company has a flow of information, especially in many devices after the electronic, information flow must follow the entire company's other processes, otherwise the company's business flow can not run down, resulting in a great discount to the company's benefits."　　As a result, many companies in the country need a secure, controllable, manageable network disk tool that can efficiently transfer their large files across regions and even multinational companies.　　In particular, some companies because the file is too big, worried about the Internet transmission is not timely and frequent interruption, had to carve a disk or drive to send a U disk, such a practice laborious and time-consuming, so many companies complain. Free QQ mailbox and FTP transmission tools, from a certain level can meet the needs of users.　　However, in the course of use, some of the original use of QQ mailbox, FTP large file transfer enterprise users gradually found that QQ mailbox and FTP Ease-of-use and product design requirements and the existing user demand gap is still very far: instability leads to data transmission when the time is off, the speed of the transfer of big files can not be guaranteed.　　Lenovo Enterprise Network disk but give enterprise users easy application experience, as long as the mouse click, you can fix, this is a series of complex things. As the saying goes, no diamond dare to embrace China live!　　Clear the user's real needs, Lenovo Network began to gradually exert the enterprise network disk, light up their own skills. One of the highlights of Lenovo's business network is high quality transmission. For many multinationals, most multinational documents are large files that often need to be transferred to multiple countries at the same time.　　If the use of free QQ mailbox upload, then they will often encounter when a break, a large file to many people to repeat many times, and sometimes because the other side out of the online and can not be transmitted. However, the use of Lenovo Enterprise network to upload the situation is different. In order to improve the speed of uploading large file business, Lenovo Network disk is improving itself in hardware condition. At present, LenovoIn the country has five backbone nodes, the enterprise data storage, backup, synchronization, distribution. Lenovo Network Disk also based on the distribution of user groups, in different regions to do different deployments. In addition, set some accelerated small nodes between data points to do caching, to help users improve speed.　　At the same time, Lenovo Network disk is a global operation, can be 24 hours at any time of the exchange of documents. In addition, in the product function, Lenovo Enterprise network disk has increased the management function of large files. Enterprises have an organizational structure, in order to strengthen the file management, the various levels of staff rights should be different. Therefore, Lenovo Enterprise network disk to the entire enterprise management model cleverly mapped to the network disk. In the enterprise network each role is given different permissions, some can only upload, some can only download, some can upload and download, some also have changes and online preview permissions.　　And, the entire enterprise organization member in the daily file flow in all operations or authority management process, in the enterprise network can reflect the corresponding. In addition to solving these general problems, Lenovo Network is still thinking about a domestic network users do not open the problem-the network bandwidth and interoperability between operators of the problem. "This is the problem of network infrastructure in China," Luo Jin said with concern: "This problem is not solved one day, will always seriously restrict the development of the whole cloud storage and network."　　Despite some frustration, the Lenovo network still has a set of solutions for clients. On the one hand, Lenovo network disk in the country a wide range of data points, so as to allow users to less around some basic points to reach the data source, to upload and download the nearest, to improve the download speed.　　On the other hand, Lenovo Network disk is also in the new transmission technology research. Complete security measures to eliminate user concerns remember Zhao Benshan's sketch "Happy" in a classic line: "After the change, make a change, thoroughly tempered!" "Although it is a joke, it seems to indicate that to become a test of the Internet service provider, it will inevitably undergo some hardships and setbacks."　　The security issue is the biggest problem that has plagued Internet providers.　　In particular, in April 2011, Amazon again downtime, so that the security of the Internet has once again become the industry focus on the topic of discussion. Luo Jinjin said that many users meet the first question is to ask Lenovo network disk "security is not safe." "Safe!" he said.　　We are the net silver level of transmission security, Luo Jinjin each time so firmly answer the user. In Luo Jinjin's dictionary, he distinguishes "safe" from two English words: one is "safe" and the other is "security." The term "safe" means that data will never be lost or destroyed, whether it is windy or rainy, or when it is flooded by earthquakes.　　and "security" the so-called safety, is that no one will steal it, no one will be tampered with, no one will be hacked to destroy it, and will not leak. However, users still want service business to have a complete set of handling measures to deal with AnnThe whole event, the most likely to minimize the loss. Luo Jinjin said that many enterprise users are not concerned about the system security, but worry about the service provider "inside", followed by hacker attacks, data loss and so on.　　This is a trust problem, Lenovo Network disk solution to this problem is to sign with the enterprise users have a legal effect of the agreement. From the internal management point of view, Lenovo Network disk to use technical means to avoid human factors cause risk. So that no one administrator can see the full file, you need several people with permission to open it to see.　　At the same time, the system will also record all the operation of the administrator process, to be able to check, daily notification.　　In addition, Luo Jinjin told reporters that Lenovo network disk is pushing a joint-type security measures in order to completely solve the user's most worried about the problem.　　Reporter notes: the domestic cloud storage spring? At present, many of the original network disk enterprises, are eager to be more cloud storage.　　So does this mean that the spring of domestic cloud storage has come?　　Luo Jinjin said he was very bullish on the future of cloud storage, saying that from a global perspective, the outlook for cloud storage is already clear, and the commercialization process is more mature and will reach its peak in the next few years.　　However, Luo Jinjin also pointed out that there is currently a lack of Amazon-like companies in the country, specialized in providing platform support services. Further, Luo Jinjin analysis that: "The network disk and cloud storage service objects are different, so their technical focus is also different." "The network disk is for the end user, needs to help the user to solve the corresponding actual problem." The solution to these problems must be based on the user, more focused on the application and the interactive design of the user experience. The key technologies that cloud storage needs to store and distribute are high, consume more resources, and the responsibility and risk of the service provider are very large.　　Therefore, not all vendors have the strength to operate the cloud storage platform. It can be seen that the domestic cloud storage market, too many companies focused on the previous application, and the provision of platform services, cloud storage vendors have little. Therefore, the domestic cloud storage ushered in the spring is still to come.
