The first year of big data: The rapid development of China

In 2012, from the bedding, brewing, birth to questioning, noise, speculation, big data finally stepped down from the altar when it arrived in 2013, infiltrating deeply into all fields of various industries and generating tremendous power of change. This is also a " The first year of big data, "the core of meaning.

Globally, this change is happening. The Internet industry has the brunt, followed by business intelligence and consulting services, the retail industry, but also healthcare, health, transportation, logistics and even biotechnology, astronomy ... The data services awareness and capabilities that big data has spawned are affecting all aspects of society, from Business technology to medical, government, education, economy, humanities and other areas of society, and gave birth to the power of change in all walks of life.

At the forefront of developing countries, China is now facing a major historical choice. It should be said that in the past three decades or so, China has produced a good transcript of transcripts in the period of rapid industrialization, informatization and networking. At the moment when the world is moving toward dataization and the era of big data, both the individual and the enterprise, as well as the society and the country, have the necessity and urgency to seriously understand and make serious decisions.

On the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Internet of Things released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Information Industry put forward the information processing technology as one of the 4 key technological innovation projects, including massive data storage, data mining and intelligent analysis of image and video, all of which are big data important parts of. The other three information sensing technology, information transmission technology, information security technology, but also with the "big data" is closely related.

Internet companies in China are also rapidly finding their place in this wave of data services. Through constant input methods, browsers, anti-virus platforms, and various products and services like Trojans and Cookies, including the rise in recent years Cloud computing is trying to obtain and integrate more user behavior data and look forward to these methods to enhance their grasp of the data structure, increase data relations, the fragmented data by various means to integrate and use, which is A significant trend in industrial development - though these efforts are still at a basic stage.

In addition, due to the data service itself needs of data collection, storage, analysis and processing, some hardware level changes are also taking place. International IT giants such as IBM, EMC and Hewlett-Packard have all started to launch targeted products in these fields. And embedded in their own service matrix. Domestic IT companies are also aware of this wave and started to increase R & D and investment in data areas based on their existing businesses and products. They also came up with preliminary products and solutions to keep up with the trend.

An optimistic expectation is that the domestic big data market has the advantages of broad market demand, great potential for follow-up growth and good investment prospects. The follow-up development is promising. But the sheer crowds and markets, the complexities and changing industry conditions, and the laziness of policies, ideas and historical factors make China one of the most sophisticated big data nations in the world.

Data Government Opportunities and Challenges

With the continuous development of internet technology, data will become a strategic resource like energy and materials. How to use data resources to explore knowledge, improve efficiency, and promote innovation, make it a national big data management technology, corporate decision-making and personal life services, is the pursuit of big data technology goals. As technology continues to mature, big data technology will become an important tool for state governance.

Tian Canning, chairman of Broadband Capital, said: "In all technological revolutions in modern history, China is a learner, and in this new revolution in cloud computing and big data, China has the smallest distance from the rest of the world and even has innovation in many fields And leading the possibility. "And specifically, two points are very conducive to the leapfrog development of China's information industry.

On the one hand, big data technology is mainly open source, so far, no absolute technical monopoly has yet to be formed. Even IBM, Oracle and other industry giants, also integrated open source technology, and the company's original product a better combination only. Open source technologies are open to any country, and Chinese companies can also share open source cakes. In the past few decades, China's information industry has lagged behind foreign giants and has long been at the end of the industrial chain to earn low-end profits. Although the state has come up with large sums of money to support the pioneers of the upstream sector, such as CPUs, operating systems and office software, there are few successful precedents for national money. However, in the emerging field of big data processing, Chinese and foreign companies are almost standing on the same starting line. Insiders said that just consider the narrow sense of the big data processing technologies (such as Hadoop, MapReduce, pattern recognition, machine learning, etc.), the gap between China and foreign countries only about 5 years. If you consider the scale of digital assets and the technologies used, the gap between China and foreign countries is more reflected in the gap in consciousness.

On the other hand, the size of China's population and economy determines the size of China's data assets and its presence in the world. Objectively provide a rehearsal for the development of big data technology. The second point urgently needs the concerted efforts of the government, academia, industry and capital markets to ensure the maximum safety of state data, maximize the openness of data assets, and promote the application of data association and the release of big data.

Chen Jiachun, deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "The big data industry in China is also facing the problems of lack of qualified personnel, inadequate data resources, low data availability and imperfect laws and regulations." On the current value and application of big data in our country, the government, academia, industry and capital markets have yet to reach a consensus. Departments and localities generally have "data separatism" and "data islands" phenomenon.

So the awareness and ability to open the data is the most important point. The public online data services that lagged far behind the development of the past few decades have been rapidly emerging in recent years. They have rapidly moved toward a new stage of integration, dynamics, sophistication and initiative from fragmented, lagging, crude and passive states. In data disclosure, the trend is not directed at individuals or businesses, because they are trapped in the interests of individuals or businesses, on behalf of the public interest and maintained by the public tax revenue is instead becoming the trendsetter of data disclosure and rule makers.

In the final analysis, in addition to the lack of technology, a profound understanding and understanding of big data and the concept of data openness are the key factors that hinder China's big data technology from falling into various industries. It is also linked to the various problems China faces in its modernization and the challenges of education, transport and healthcare. It resolves problems through such innovative ways as big data, creates new industrial clusters and realizes the change from "Made in China to Creation in China." Even bigger.
