Surging cloud computing competition is raging

Cloud computing, many people are not unfamiliar, no matter what it means to say no clearly, but always know is quite "tide" of things. At the beginning of the closing of the German Hannover Electronics Show, cloud computing once again out of the limelight, many exhibitors played a cloud of the brand. Forrester, a market-research firm, predicts that the global cloud computing market will grow to $241 billion trillion by 2020, well above last year's $41 billion trillion. Industry insiders have put it, it companies to the cloud computing competition, has become from the concept into practice. China's cloud computing market is more intoxicated, there are already layout of foreign it giants Cisco, Microsoft, IBM and so on, but also recently announced the "running" into the domestic enterprises Huawei and so on.

Cloud computing is the next stage in the evolution of the Internet, Cao Tuqiang, a Cisco global vice-president and head of data center business. The Internet-related services for the increase, use and delivery model, cloud is a network, the Internet, a metaphor. It means that computing power can also be used as a commodity through the Internet, as users use gas, electricity and water, easy to use, low-cost. In the future, only need a notebook, a mobile phone or any terminal, you can through the network services to achieve everything we need, even the tasks such as supercomputing.

In recent years, both at home and abroad have the strength of IT companies are rushing to make a fuss on cloud computing, each have their own ideas, each do the piece of cloud. For most IT companies, there are three different identities in the pervasive process of cloud computing. First, as internationalized software and internet companies, they are users of cloud computing. Second, in the process of cloud computing, they provide cloud services directly to users. Finally, they are actively providing a platform architecture for cloud computing for other cloud service users or vendors. And the last identity is the most important, because a good frame, can have "Sarch" capital. Industry insiders say this is a bit like the current battle over smartphone operating platforms.

Competition is not a bad thing, the involvement of internet companies and IT companies has contributed to the rapid development of cloud computing. Cisco predicts that by 2015 the Global Cloud Computing network will expand to 12 times times the current scale, with an average annual compound growth rate of 66% per cent, and a cloud of over One-third in global data center traffic by 2015, when the global cloud computing annual traffic is equivalent to 22 trillion hours of audio streaming , or 5 trillion-hour corporate video conferencing, or 1.6 trillion-hour online high-definition video streaming. Gartner, the world's top it research firm, is more daring, saying that by 2014 cloud services will replace traditional PC PCs as the main computing form in the corporate marketplace. "From a technical perspective, cloud computing is a logical development outcome." For enterprise applications and their own infrastructure adjustment, it is a revolution. Dieter Kempf, president of the German Association for Information Technology, communications and new media, said at the Hannover Information and communication technology fair.

On the stage of cloud computing, China is an important market for domestic and foreign enterprises. "Here's a lot of opportunities. Internet of things, smart grid, innovative medical and educational models, urbanization and integration of three networks have become the focus of China's development and key factors, and these can actually be closely related to cloud computing. "The Chinese government will devote a lot of resources and strength to promote the development of cloud industry," said Shusung, a senior vice president of Cisco Greater China, and general manager of the data Center and borderless Network program. It is reported that, in addition to the cloud computing into the "Twelve-Five" planning of the new strategic industries, to determine Beijing, Shanghai and other 5 cities to carry out cloud computing services innovation pilot, the country has developed a cloud planning development plan. China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute predicts that 2013 China's cloud computing market will reach 117.4 billion yuan.

On cloud computing, Cisco's core philosophy is "cloud architecture". It is said that this framework integrates all the key links in the cloud computing complete industry chain, enabling Cisco and its customers and partners to share the most optimized rich resources in the cloud industry planning and implementation process, and derive greater value for innovation and business success. At the moment, Cisco's most promising product for ordinary people is the "Education Cloud Terminal", launched jointly with the Shanghai Master capital of China. Cisco uses cloud computing technology to integrate the electronic whiteboard, projector, touch machine, teachers and students with computer, sound equipment, electronic schoolbags and so on. It is said that this set of "education cloud terminals" has been put into some schools in Sichuan Wenchuan, received a good teaching effect.
