Qinhuangdao opens up the city to build a cloud to accelerate the transformation with IBM

Cloud computing is the third Trans-era change in information technology after the changes in personal computers and the Internet. The economic attributes behind cloud computing determine that cloud computing is actually a new kind of productivity, how it will manage the complexity of it, and revisit the importance of it to society as an unprecedented level.

More importantly, cloud computing will trigger business models, industry ecology, and even the entire social ecosystem changes, like the advent of computers and the Internet has changed the human civilization process, cloud computing will profoundly affect the enterprise, industry, and even the whole society's progress and development. This leads to the transformation of regional economic model, industry ecological model, enterprise business model and it operation mode. Governments, enterprises, and even the community should correctly understand the importance of cloud computing and actively participate in the exploration, implementation and promotion of cloud strategy.

Cloud computing will bring about the transformation and take-off of the whole regional economy. China is now relying on local advantages to vigorously develop regional economy, a large number of urban economic circle, regional economic circle formed successively. The formation of these regional economic circles often requires the cooperation of various industries and enterprises to complete. This large synergy requires a platform that can support large synergies, and this platform is not cloud computing.

The unique flexibility of cloud computing, on-demand access, and the characteristics of automated management will help governments to coordinate effectively and collectively across industries and enterprises. It is precisely because of this, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Qinhuangdao and other cities have listed cloud computing as a key point of the "Twelve-Five" plan, and issued a policy of intensive preferential policies to promote the development of cloud computing in the region.

Although compared with the big cities such as the north of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Qinhuangdao has a disadvantage in the development of information technology industry, industrial synergy and user base, but Qinhuangdao still takes the data industry/cloud computing industry as the key industry breakthrough during the "Twelve-Five" period. Qinhuangdao deputy Mayor Zhang has pointed out that, Qinhuangdao municipal government of the cloud computing industry attaches great importance to cloud computing and cloud services as an important part of the development of industrial base. 2008 actively prepared the Qinhuangdao data industry base, the IBM Data industry Research Circle, Peking University Qinhuangdao Science and Technology Industrial Park, Hebei information Industry Investment company data industry research and Development center, such as cloud computing and cloud services industry to develop the operating platform has been settled.

Zhang said that the Qinhuangdao Shi government will continue to create a good environment for development, we should give full play to the leading advantages of innovation, strengthen the collaborative integration of resources, deepen the application demonstration in the key fields, promote the innovation of cloud computing service mode, actively cultivate the standard, unified, safe and efficient cloud service system, and accelerate the construction of independent and innovative cloud computing and cloud services industry chain.

Among them, the special need to point out is the strategic cooperation with IBM. Qinhuangdao Economic and technological development zone, based on the IBM Cloud computing platform to build China's first "three-dimensional (3D) Internet Technology application incubator platform" to foster network game development enterprises and three-dimensional Internet application development enterprises. This is the cloud computing in the domestic entry into the practical application, promote regional industrial upgrading and regional economic development of important milestones, but also Qinhuangdao Shi further to the data industry as the core, to achieve the Bohai Rim regional economic deployment, leading the economic transformation of Hebei Province key projects. At the "IBM took you to your cloud--2011 IBM Cloud Computing Summit" held yesterday, IBM related people also highly appraised the strategic cooperation with QINHUANGDAO economic and technological development zone.
