As we all know, IaaS services require a large amount of infrastructure and technology inputs, and distribution services to users, which is doomed to a short period of time to achieve a large number of user accumulation and profitability.

On the one hand, AWS positioning IaaS Services in a basic resource, the pricing strategy is small profits but quick turnover, because it occupies the global IaaS service top of the market, become the reality of industry pricing, this low-cost strategy directly led to the industry in the low profit and loss.

In China, including Aliyun, Sheng, such as IaaS service providers also face numerous barriers and input: fragmented network, expensive and scarce BGP network, power supply standards and other aspects of the IDC, various opaque access mechanisms have increased the cost of IAAS service providers. In this contrast, the domestic IaaS service providers to survive the situation imaginable. On the other hand, the domestic enterprise-level applications are rarely used public cloud service awareness and motivation, only these high profits, heavy load of users access to the public cloud, the IaaS service provider is the fundamental survival.

Not long ago, Amazon won the US CIA 10-year order, 600 million U.S. dollars, this distance from the Amazon launched AWS has been 7 years, domestic IaaS service providers to obtain government, banking, medical industry approval needs not only 7 years, there are many outside factors.

Relative to Shanda, Aliyun has more basic resource advantages, especially the various licences and the channel advantages accumulated over the years, which provide a lot of support for Aliyun.

Throughout the domestic public cloud market, Sina, Tencent, Baidu are the first to do their own services, and then open the platform to serve their own ecosystems, and finally to provide public services. Sheng This strategic shift, is a wise choice.

CSDN has not contacted Shanda to comment. (Text/Bao revisers/Zhonghao)
