Public cloud at this stage focused on small and medium micro-enterprises

The notion of cloud computing and big data began to escalate, illustrating that it is not the fashion community's chase for fashion trends, as is the case for IT circles. In the cloud computing arena, everyone invariably sang the drama together, stirring everyone "foggy", I do not know the "cloud." This phenomenon has continued until the last two years to be better, the development of cloud computing began to tend to rational, and promote the transformation of enterprise IT.

The value of cloud computing lies in the public cloud, but its embarrassing situation is that large and very large enterprises generally choose to build their own private cloud platform regardless of whether they are for security or management purposes. So at this stage where the public cloud applications? The author believes that small and medium micro-enterprises more easily accept and use public cloud services. These enterprises are growing rapidly and need to flexibly adjust their IT computing resources. From a cost perspective, the public cloud is equally the best choice.

Faced with many cloud service providers in the domestic cloud computing market, how to make choices for SME users?

When the development of foreign cloud computing market (mainly in the United States) tends to be stable, China's cloud computing market has also entered a model of highways and crowds of law and order. In China, local cloud service providers still use BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent) as their main target. In terms of current market promotion, their targets have obvious directions and distinctions. For example, Baidu serves more individual users and Ali and Later, Jingdong mainly faces e-commerce, while Tencent cloud is more specifically targeted at game operators and developers.

Despite the fact that e-commerce and game companies are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, the vast majority of SMEs in our overall market are more diversified business components and distributions, such as traditional commerce, logistics and even third Although the industry has the information needs, there is no way to become the mainstream of these public cloud customers.

In the face of such a large market in China, if local enterprises can not become the IT fertile soil for the development of domestic SMEs, it is a matter of course for many foreign manufacturers to join and compete. As a whole, the domestic public cloud market Bring new development. Compared to Microsoft's announcement that it will jointly launch the public cloud service with Century 21, there is actually a low-profile market for IBM's public cloud. The public cloud service was launched online from the United Capitol. Undoubtedly, the acquisition of SoftLayer in June this year has infused new IBM cloud computing With this dynamic, users can create an Internet-scale distributed computing environment in minutes. IBM SoftLayer is now available for domestic users.

SoftLayer was founded in 2005 and was rated by the United States as a dark horse in the host industry in 2006. It was highly praised by many host forums in the United States and its customer satisfaction was very high. SoftLayer's data center features 40G bandwidth to rack, 100% full Cisco networking, redundant trunk lines, Cisco ASA hardware firewall, virus and spam filtering, and server access to 1000Mbps ports, so SoftLayer takes network architecture as secure and complete And fast, apparently the best interpretation of the data center in the cloud computing era,

Similarly, the reliability and benefits of hardware also bring the lowest levels of stability to public cloud services. SoftLayer server room are all original brand servers such as IBM DELL, AMD, IPMI remote management card on board, without manual room technician on duty can be quickly restarted, shut down, redo the system, through the IPMI-KVM, remote fault can be achieved Processing, redo system (2 hours automatic full format redo). No need to contact SoftLayer once technical support is available on the client's server - customers can handle server failures on their own, and SMB users no longer need to put too much effort into complex IT environments and enjoy the convenience of a SmartCloud experience , Peace of mind into business development. This is precisely the economic strength, IT skills, the best choice for SMEs under wired conditions.

The good news is that IBM SoftLayer now offers a free trial of cloud servers and a month's worth of SoftLayer cloud services for free with just a single sign up (refer to link: http://www.softlayer.com/).

IBM SoftLayer, secure and flexible cloud experience is close at hand!
