The future of cloud computing in China and how to achieve

The cloud, which was once fired up in the country, has recently fallen silent. But in foreign countries, but some moderate and dynamic.

In the early March 12 of Beijing time, cloud storage company Box released its first financial report since its IPO in January 2015, with box stocks plunging 16% after the losses, as earnings were bigger than expected. The big losses in box and the plunge in stocks are likely to surprise many people. This can not help but reminiscent of the domestic cloud computing enterprises, China's cloud computing where to go? In response to this issue, the author interviewed Daocloud co-founder Beijing-based. Not long ago, Daocloud had just won millions of of dollars in funding from Silicon Valley.

Once, my understanding of cloud computing is somewhat narrow, in the process of communication with him, I have a relatively new understanding of cloud computing. For example, I (believe a lot of people too) used to think of cloud computing as storage. However, Daocloud co-founder Beijing-based told me: "The domestic cloud computing enterprises are not dominated by cloud storage." "Now that my knowledge of cloud computing has changed, my ideas have turned from interviews to learning, and I want friends like me who don't know much about cloud computing to understand something, and I hope this article will give readers some thought."

In which direction will cloud computing be developed? On the development prospects of cloud computing enterprises, beijing-based that: "From the application point of view, the current public cloud is a clear trend, but the application in the big, will consider how to avoid with a single public cloud vendors to lock ' Locked in ' problem." For some time to come, the PAAs platform and services of the independent and IaaS vendors will be a direction, and a new type of cloud computing service abroad, called ' Cloud Platform Management ', refers to this one. The advent of Docker, so that between application and cloud resources, there is a recognized standard, the Docker built on the basis of PAAs services, more easily accepted by the entire ecosystem. ”

How is cloud computing truly "civilian"? For my proposed cloud computing "civilian" problem, Beijing-based said: "High-end technology civilian, has been a law of it field development." Whether the small and medium-sized enterprises can not rely on Taobao platform, and their own completion of similar double a scale of product promotion? The support behind this software and cloud platform is a key element. Such elements, in the era of electronic commerce and large data, is an important strategic capability for enterprises. There are already a number of strategically minded companies that are developing their own capabilities, from private cloud platforms to hybrid clouds to Internet applications and even embracing open source technologies, which have previously been very remote to traditional companies and have begun to blossom in corporate clients such as Hunan TV. This trend will become increasingly apparent. ”

In my opinion, Beijing-based's cloud computing is more focused on the needs of businesses and professional developers. From my personal perspective, I have a few superficial thoughts on the future of cloud computing. First, the development of enterprise demand. Today's corporate cloud is no longer unfamiliar, and this demand is not only space and build stations, but also may be some kind of practical significance of the system. Second, development of demand for developers. I once asked beijing-based, "The delivery of future software is a container understanding of cloud development", beijing-based Correction said: "It should be said that the development of cloud-targeted." Cloud Native Creator is a trend, just like 20 years ago, everyone was developing software for Pc+windows, and today all software is targeted at cloud and mobile internet. New platforms require new development methods, and development tools. Third, the development of the needs of ordinary people. There may be other newer ways of meeting this need in the future. For these several needs, I simply summed up as: corporate cloud, social cloud, development cloud. I wonder if it is appropriate.

As for the beijing-based, because of the knowledge of the relationship, from the technical level I can not comment. But from the point of view of management and future development, I have some different opinions. These comments are a reminder of daocloud and companies like Daocloud.

First, the contradiction between open source and commercialization. In the process of the development of Daocloud-type cloud computing enterprises, financing is inevitable and necessary, and the entry of capital should lead to the contradiction between open source and commercialization. Then, when the interests of capital and open source of independence, neutrality conflict, where should enterprises go?

Second, the degree of acceptance of enterprise users. On the surface, Beijing-based's idea is wonderful. But how much will companies accept this idea and practice? This is a difficult problem.

Third, whether to adapt to future development. The world is changing rapidly, especially in the mobile internet era, four or five years ago, we would not have thought of the situation today. So, what will happen to the Internet in another four or five years?

Four, far from the common people. It is clear that many of the technologies and applications of cloud computing today are quite different from those of ordinary users. If you really do high-end technology civilian, that is the eternal life of cloud computing.

China's cloud computing where to go, this is a grand proposition, not a few people can explain the white, we hope to hear more new content, new ideas, welcome to the industry to provide.
