Taking stock of national cloud computing Development Support policy

In the information age, the new technology innovation ability and the new industry development degree become the measure standard of the comprehensive strength of each country. At the same time, the competition essence of new technology and industry is talent innovation. Therefore, the world, especially the developed countries, are aimed at cloud computing technology innovation, industrial development and personnel security has formulated a series of supporting policies and measures.

The U.S. government's strategy to support cloud computing

Successive administrations of the United States have always promoted it technology innovation and industrial development as the basic State policy. In recent years, the United States Government has formulated a series of support policies on cloud computing, mainly embodied in the following aspects: Unified Strategic Plan, clear cloud computing product service standards, strengthen infrastructure construction, set standards, encourage innovation, increase government procurement, actively cultivate the market, build cloud computing ecosystem, promote the coordinated development of industrial chain.

From the current situation analysis, the U.S. government to the cloud computing technology and industry as one of the important means to maintain the core competitiveness of the country. The U.S. government's support for the cloud computing industry is a deeply intrusive approach that pushes the development of cloud computing technology and the industry to the ground by forcing government procurement and specifying technical frameworks.

Europe's strategy to support cloud computing

September 27, 2012, the European Commission announced the launch of a strategic plan to further develop Europe's cloud computing potential, aimed at expanding the use of cloud computing technology in the economic sphere, creating a lot of jobs.

Policy measures in the European Commission's cloud strategy plan include: sift through a wide range of technical standards to ensure that cloud users are assured of interoperability, portability and reversibility of data, by 2013, to identify the required standards in these areas, and to support the implementation of a "trusted Raiyun service Provider" certification program within the EU To establish a secure and fair standard for cloud computing services, especially SLAs, and to build a partnership between EU Member States and their European cloud computing businesses, using the purchasing power of the public sector, which accounts for 20% of all IT spending, to establish a European cloud computing market, Enable European cloud service providers to expand their business scope and provide cost-effective online management services.

The goal of the European Commission's cloud strategy is to create 2.5 million new jobs in Europe by 2020, an annual output of 160 billion euros, to 1% of the EU's GNP.

From the current situation analysis, the EU also attaches great importance to cloud computing technology, but compared to the United States, the EU is a relatively loose political complex, its support for cloud computing policy released late, but also used in the form of government procurement, such as in-depth intervention to promote cloud computing development.

Japan and South Korea's policy of nurturing cloud computing

Government, users and cloud service providers (data centers, it vendors, etc.) should take advantage of Japan's advantages, such as its technical advantages in it, and by analyzing the global trends in cloud computing, the report of the Japanese Ministry of Economic and Industrial Development, published on August 16, 2010, said. Solve the challenges and key problems in the evolution and development of cloud computing, and build a good environment for the development of cloud computing industry. By creating cloud-based services to open up global markets, a new market of more than 40 trillion yen was developed 2020 years ago.

In September 2011, the South Korean government launched the "Cloud computing comprehensive revitalization Plan", the core of which is the government's first introduction and provision of cloud computing services for cloud computing development of domestic demand. The South Korean Communications Commission (KCC) reported that: in 2010-2012, the South Korean government spent 415.8 billion won budget to build a common cloud computing infrastructure, the e-government used in the use of the 1970 inefficient server virtualization, and gradually replace into high-performance servers, and the dynamic allocation of server resources is realized according to the System server resource usage.

Therefore, from the current situation analysis, Japan and South Korea want to use cloud computing technology and industrial development to achieve information and communication technology recovery and development. This is because Japan and South Korea's 3G permeability is very high, broadband network and other information technology infrastructure, such as mobile Internet applications and other value-added industries to develop very well, the national economy is highly dependent on information technology, so its main use of industrial policy guidance, national investment and private capital combination of the form to promote the development of cloud computing industry.

China's policy to support cloud computing

Cloud computing is a global irreversible trend, is a new generation of information technology important development direction, is regarded as China's next generation of information technology to achieve innovative breakthroughs, leapfrog development of strategic opportunities.

October 2010, the State Council issued the State Council on speeding up the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries decision, the cloud computing as one of the strategic emerging industries.

May 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "communications industry" Twelve-Five "development Plan", the cloud is positioned as the building of national information infrastructure, integration and innovation to promote energy saving and emission reduction of key technologies and key development direction.

May 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology released the "Internet Industry" Twelve-Five "development Plan", proposed to promote the commercialization of cloud computing services, build public cloud computing services platform, and set up a cloud computing application demonstration project.

May 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology issued "Software and IT Services" Twelve-Five "development Plan", the "cloud Computing innovation and development project" as one of eight major projects, stressed to accelerate the industrialization of China's cloud computing services as the main line, adhere to the service innovation to drive technological innovation, to demonstrate the use of the Promote the development of cloud computing service model.

July 9, 2012, the State Council issued the "Twelve-Five" national Strategic Emerging Industry Development plan, the cloud computing as a new generation of information technology industry in the important direction of development and emerging industries to support, and the Internet of things and cloud computing engineering as China's "Twelve-Five" development of the 20 key projects.

September 2012, the Ministry of Science and Technology released "China Cloud Science and technology development" Twelve-Five "special planning", this is China's first ministerial-level cloud planning, for speeding up cloud computing technology innovation and industrial development is of great significance.

However, China's cloud computing is now more at the sectoral level, can be included in the special planning (Science and technology planning of Living industry planning), but has not been included in national strategic planning.
