Towards an era of high efficiency, domestic cloud computing is maturing

At the IDF 2012 Information Technology Summit this year, Yang, global vice president and China president of Intel Corporation, said the key words for this year included collaboration, innovation, PC, personal computing, data center, interconnection, cloud computing, and so on. And highlights the interconnection, personal computing and cloud computing. Thus, a new era of digital interconnection has arrived.

Smart devices drive the development of the Internet and data centers, but explosive growth also brings with it many problems in terms of management and resource allocation. In the face of more and more complex problems, cloud computing emerged. Since the beginning of three years ago, cloud computing in China's voice on the ground, at the same time it vendors have launched their own solutions to accelerate cloud implementation. At present, a considerable number of large and medium-sized enterprises have begun to apply the private cloud and mixed cloud, and the public cloud project for small enterprises began to start.

When it comes to cloud computing, domestic cloud computing is fundamentally different from that of foreign countries, and its biggest difference is that the government's dominant role is more obvious, and the local government regards cloud computing as a strategic opportunity to adjust the economic structure and develop strategic emerging industries. The government's advantage is that a short period of time to integrate a variety of advantageous resources for the development of cloud computing industry to provide a strong impetus, such as the emergence of a large number of government clouds, medical cloud, intelligent traffic clouds and other industries cloud projects, as well as various cloud computing industry Park planning. But it could also create the illusion of a false boom, especially in the context of cloud computing, which requires vigilance, or will have a very bad impact on the health of the cloud industry itself.

The current domestic cloud computing, many IT companies are also see the government-led market, have launched their own solutions. We are pleased that, in addition to the large foreign IT companies mature solutions, domestic server manufacturers have also released their own cloud system, the Dawn elastic cloud, the wave of cloud OS and Pao powercloud and so on. Domestic manufacturers from simple hardware research and development gradually transition to software, the overall solution has been a lot of success stories, the rapid development.

However, in terms of technology, IT companies have their own advantages. With IBM's exclusive ELS mainframe high-reliability solution, Dell's cloud vision is borderless it, while Hitachi data reminds companies to consider and plan the cost of their entire IT architecture, including virtualization and cloud-based component costs. From technology to the final solution, we can see the gradual development of diversified cloud computing, the focus of users from the initial design, deployment to architecture optimization and improve operational efficiency.

At present, we have been able to see the cloud in the application layer, such as the familiar search, microblogging, games and other cloud services, but the company's revenue from cloud computing is relatively limited. Cloud providers need to be able to meet the specific needs of the enterprise, such as reliability, security, data consolidation, application consolidation, hybrid cloud support, and so on. If it is a further future, I believe that the public cloud, whether for consumers or enterprise users, will be the mainstream platform.
