Soaring cloud computing: local blind construction or inefficient investment

[China now has more than 30 local governments have issued cloud computing industry planning, and put forward the land, tax, capital and other aspects of preferential policies]

More than six years ago in August 2006, it was unclear how far it would go when Google CEO Eric Schmidt first presented the concept of "cloud computing" from a business perspective at San Jose's search engine convention, but today, at least in China, it has even been reported that, as a result of its rapid growth in a few years, Some of the cloud computing projects that have invested heavily have become "image engineering" and "Land sales projects".

January 21, by Beijing Aerospace University, broadband capital and other units launched last April, the Chinese Cloud Industry Alliance issued the "cloud computing technology and Industry White Paper" (hereinafter referred to as the White paper), "The White paper" In recognition since 2007 China's cloud computing industry rapid development, and the face of great opportunities at the same time It also points out the existing problems such as herd in the industry.

According to the "First financial daily" reporter in the past 2 weeks, compared to the 2011 U.S. public cloud market hardware investment ratio of 12.5%, China's corresponding ratio of up to 70%, another point of view, the lack of integration with the application, the local blind building cloud data center, more likely to lead to a new round of ineffective investment

Beijing "Xiangyun Plan", Tianjin cloud computing platform "Xiang Yun" ..., as the overall development of the information industry, the white Paper pointed out that China has now more than 30 local governments issued cloud computing industry planning, and put forward the land, tax, capital and other preferential policies.

As early as October 2010, the State Council issued "on speeding up the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries decision", cloud computing has become the development of a new generation of information technology industry, one of the key areas, and take the lead in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuxi, Hangzhou, five cities as a pilot demonstration.

Jiang Guangzhi, director of the Software and Information Services Department of Beijing Municipal Commission, said at the "cloud Computing World Congress" last December 12, Xiangyun project is the Beijing cloud computing industry, a general action program, the application of the first, to make Beijing into the world cloud computing applications leading cities, to restructure Beijing's IT industry chain through cloud computing.

"These two years have passed, I think we have taken a gratifying step in this respect, and have done a good job of accumulation." Today, we sent 80 new products, not yet calculate how much revenue, the initial estimate of about more than 10 billion of the sales revenue output. "Jiang Guangzhi said.

Beijing also Zhuang International Investment Co., Ltd. a senior said that 2012 they invested a cloud computing fund, and the National Development and Reform Commission and the Beijing Development and Reform Commission support, the National Development and Reform Commission invested 20 million yuan, Beijing Development and Reform Commission invested 20 million yuan, plus they and other investment, the total amount of 360 million yuan.

In fact, the data show that in the above 30 cloud industry planning, in addition to the eastern coastal areas and some western cities, but also include some remote provinces and two or three of the city.

Guangzhou is deploying the "cloud Project" to implement the "Five One" project, the Shenzhen city has issued and implemented the "Kun Cloud Plan", Chongqing to implement the "cloud Plan", Fujian, Chengdu, Dalian, Tianjin, Wuhan, Wuxi and other cities are also actively promoting the development of cloud computing.

An Hui, Director of software and Information Services Institute of China Electronics and Information Industry Development Academy, said in an interview with our correspondent from the domestic development, the next 3 years, the government, telecommunications, education, medical, financial, petrochemical and electric power industries as the focus, cloud computing will be more and more enterprises and institutions in China to adopt, More and more applications will migrate to the cloud.

An Hui predicts that China's cloud computing market will grow from 16.731 billion yuan in 2010 to 117.412 billion yuan in 2013, with an annual compound growth rate of 91.5% per cent. By 2015, China's cloud computing industry chain will reach 750 billion to 1 trillion yuan.

But such a large and seductive cake, how to eat it, is now in every cloud of entrepreneurs need to consider things.

"Every place has a lot of very beautiful cloud nouns, such as e-government cloud, tourism cloud, medical cloud, manufacturing cloud, etc., but according to have visited many places, found that China's cloud computing program at least more than 80% is not a real cloud." "An Hui said.

Tian, chairman of China Broadband Industry fund, said to our correspondent that every technological change, especially in China, was just beginning with a few people talking, and then it was hot on the hype, and then there were a lot of problems. "The whole industry, cloud computing as a new thing also has such a rule, first innovators, growth, then become overheated, into a bubble, then dashed, and then back." ”
