November 7 News, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> media reported that the Thai floods are making the global IT market no longer calm, which affects not only the global hard disk supply, It is also rapidly impacting global PC manufacturing and cloud computing.

The reduction in the hard drive will first enable PC manufacturers to find alternatives to Thailand's hard disk production, in order to maintain their gross margin they must increase prices. Second, the decline in the output of PCs and laptops will have a negative impact on the relevant parts manufacturers. Finally, the impact will ripple through cloud computing companies and the IT companies that trust cloud computing, Facebook, Google and Amazon, or will be hampered by the purchase of more hard drives.

Analysts believe that the Thai floods have made it more clear that the global industry in the current interdependence is very high, a major product supply disruption will affect many companies and sectors around the world, the idea that their industry is not affected by unrealistic ideas. U.S. companies, including Apple and Western data, have been forced to cut production because of the floods in Thailand, and the supply has been affected. Silicon Valley in the United States is likely to cut hiring because of the uncertainty caused by the Thai floods in the IT industry.

In the area of cloud computing, because the service requires a large number of storage devices, the shortage of hard drives will allow the relevant service providers to be cautious in launching new services and extending existing services.
