Understanding CIOs ' Choice to try cloud computing

One of the cloud computing
in the CIO's eyes

　　

In a joint discussion with Itvalue,
, a special technical advisor to the CEO of the Hotel group, Deng Shuhong his view of cloud computing as a cloud industry chain composed of software and hardware and network providers, cloud application developers, cloud service operators and end-users, Any link in the industry chain has a short board, will affect the spread of cloud computing and development. For CIOs, only cloud services meet the six standards of application, security, reliability, speed, robustness, flexibility, and economy, and should be considered for large-scale deployments.


　　

The second
of cloud computing in the eyes of
CIO

　　


, director of Computer center of Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region, Chen Jinxiong his views on cloud computing in a joint discussion between Intel and Itvalue on cloud computing. Director Chen believes that cloud computing to get a real large-scale application, must have several conditions: one is to have a reliable cloud platform; the second is the business model must be standardized; the third is that it must be lower than the self built. Given the complexity of the health care business, it is difficult to adopt a public cloud computing platform (private cloud) in the core business of large hospitals, and small hospitals and regional health care can consider using a public cloud computing platform.


　　


reducing costs is the biggest driver of CIO's attempt at cloud computing


　　


Intel's research through the country's largest real-name closed CIO community, Itvalue, shows that 28% of CIOs are trying to drive cloud computing in order to reduce environmental and equipment costs. followed by the provision of system flexibility and reliability, reduce staff costs and management difficulties, respectively accounted for 27% and 23%. Miaokai, Intel China's chief engineer, believes that efficient it resource utilization in the cloud service model can lead to significant it cost savings for the enterprise.


　　


Why do you want to build your own private cloud


　　

Why do
companies build their own private cloud? Wenchingrong, deputy general manager of Information Department of China Aluminum Co., Ltd., there are four main reasons.


　　


First, the government does not operate the "cloud" of the relevant laws and regulations. Group of enterprises generally have obvious competitors and important data such as the need for confidential information, if the public cloud, the data out of the problem can not be held responsible, unlike electricity, water, the Government has many provisions;


　　


second, "cloud" operators billing standards are not uniform, flow billing varies widely. Group companies need independent dedicated lines, the cost of who to bear the lack of standards, not as electricity, water and so standardized.


　　


Three is currently available to the group of companies to provide "cloud" service operators, the number is not much.


　　


Four is once the change cloud service provider, the data migration is a big problem (data standard, the group enterprise data volume is generally very big and so on).


　　


CIOs Choose the time savings from cloud computing


　　


, in a joint discussion between Intel and Itvalue, a CIO who once deployed a cloud computing application platform within the company said that hardware, software installation and system testing could save 10% to 15% of project time compared to deploying a non-cloud platform, Through real-time online webtraining, the training time of application system can save 10%-15% training time, and the maintenance work of later system need not have special management, can save 5%-10% system Management time.


　　


the difference between cloud computing and IT outsourcing


　　


cloud computing and IT outsourcing all claim to be able to save it costs, but there is a big difference between Ai Jun, the secretary general of the China Huarong Asset Management Company's informatization leadership group. For example, many enterprises, the government's computing center itself does not have disaster tolerance capacity, and disaster tolerance is the standard configuration of the cloud. This shows that the cloud does not have to pay for a one-time physical environment construction costs and incremental maintenance costs, but to decompose it into annual costs, so that the enterprise is cost-effective. As far as the current outsourcing is concerned, many cases are to buy manpower, to solve only "substitute", not to improve efficiency.
