Vendors scramble for the cloud storage market

At present, major manufacturers have entered the field of cloud storage, around the cloud storage industry chain, the launch of their own cloud storage services, surging, multifaceted, and the industry also predicted that 2012 is the first year of cloud storage competition. Relative to the major manufacturers in the personal cloud storage market of the Red Sea, enterprise-class cloud storage market is only part of the traditional it vendors concern. Recently, Lenovo Research Institute deputy Dean Du Xiaoli told the "China Electronic newspaper" reporter, in the face of the numerous miscellaneous market, enterprises should have something to do, and the Enterprise cloud storage Market Field competition is basically blank.

Vendors scramble for the cloud storage market

The rise of mobile internet and the diversification of intelligent terminals have made the broad market prospect of today's cloud storage. There is a need for cloud storage as long as users use both of these two. Although cloud storage is considered by the industry as a relatively low-end segment of cloud services, the majority of companies are bullish and actively engaged.

Foreign companies, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and the rise of the internet company from the cloud storage products Dropbox oncoming, while the domestic Baidu, Ali, Lenovo, Huawei, cool disk, Jinshan fast, telecom operators and so also frequent movements, it seems that all internet enterprises or IT companies, have a cloud storage products. Cloud storage has grown so fast that even the Dropbox, which is the world's leading provider of cloud storage, has only been doing this for 5 years.

Wave Group Storage Technology General manager Si Jian told the "China Electronic newspaper" Reporter: "2011 is cloud computing everywhere, cloud for the rain year, in the cloud-driven, cloud storage this year also ushered in the rapid development of the spring." According to Springboard Research Institute, 2014 China's total cloud storage services market size (including enterprise and individual user market) will reach 210 million U.S. dollars, 2009 ~2014 Annual composite growth rate of 103%.

Shuguang Information Industry Co., Ltd. Storage product director Hui Runhai that the current domestic cloud storage has entered the Take-off phase, "the rapid development of industry, ecological environment and the construction of business model to become the key words of this period."

Talking about the intensity of competition, Hui Runhai told China Electronic News reporter, from the whole cloud storage market competition situation, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and other giants with their own OS, terminals, content and other core advantages to create their own platform and ecosystem, using their own accumulation of technology and resources, flagship of different customer groups, The pattern of competition is changing at all times, and no single manufacturer occupies an absolute dominant position in the industry.

Enterprise cloud storage focused on security and stability

The enterprise-level cloud storage market seems to have a clear business model relative to the individual user market, and it is also the focus of traditional it vendors.

Du Xiaoli told China Electronic News reporter, personal cloud storage competitor many, and enterprise user cloud storage domain is basically blank, so Lenovo Cloud storage mainly for enterprise users, using Lenovo's brand and terminal market leading edge, promote cloud storage services.

The dawning company's approach to cloud storage is similar. Hui Runhai told the China Electronics news reporter that he will be positioned as a provider of infrastructure and solutions for the enterprise cloud storage market, the integration of storage hardware and cloud storage technology to create a complete cloud storage product line, including a series of parallel and private cloud storage, cloud operating systems, Cloud OS, hundreds of PB capacity, Cloud backup disaster recovery system, and the dawn of cloud computing centers in Chengdu, Wuxi and Nanjing, has provided cloud storage services for enterprise applications, and initially tried the role of cloud storage service providers.

Si Jian that the enterprise cloud storage, manufacturers through acquisitions, alliances and other means to enhance their own comprehensive competitive strength, the introduction of a variety of cloud storage products. Wave based on mass storage systems and products to build a variety of cloud storage solutions, has been successfully used in food safety cloud, e-government cloud and other fields.

Here, Shouqun, former chairman of China's Open source propulsion industry Alliance, told China Electronic News reporter, from the technical point of view, the enterprise cloud storage and personal cloud storage is not essential difference, but the focus is different. Personal cloud storage is more focused on service delivery and use, to meet individual needs for data security and stability, as well as concerns about free and low-cost services, enterprise-level markets focus more on the implementation of infrastructure and how to integrate with existing IT architectures to meet the needs of enterprise users for the capacity, functionality, performance, and cost of the cloud storage system, Security and stability are the first requirements of enterprise-class cloud storage, so the enterprise-class market is more focused on how to implement private cloud storage, like private cloud or IaaS, within the enterprise.

"However, both the enterprise-level cloud storage market and the personal consumer cloud storage market require a flexible, resilient, scalable storage infrastructure." "He stressed.
