Visit Cisco Cloud Experience Center: "China's cloud computing investment has not been reduced"

What is cloud computing? Although many technology companies claim to be applying the technology, there is no precise definition of this emerging concept. For the average person, the key is what kind of convenience and benefits cloud computing can bring.

The morning paper reporter visited Cisco's cloud Experience Center in Shanghai yesterday.

Cisco's cloud Experience Center is split into smaller rooms, each with a different cloud, and Cisco uses typical apps like remote video conferencing and smart home solutions to tell people the benefits and conveniences of the cloud.

Cloud services "for children to make up a lesson"

At the Cisco Cloud Experience Center, the main conference indoor wall hangs the multiple-side display, the next room participants sit in front of the screen with the main conference room to hold a video conference, during the meeting, the main conference room can transfer the wall on any side of the screen information, so that the next room to the participants to understand more detailed information, People in two rooms are close to face-to-face communication.

It is said that this application in the future can be extended to the education industry, medical industry and many other industries.

Cisco Greater China Enterprise Architecture Program Division general manager Ningxiaobia told the Morning Post reporter, 2008 "5·12" Wenchuan earthquake, students can not normal classes, Cisco has provided this system, the city experienced teachers to mobilize for these students to class, " These teachers only need a computer at home for the disaster area students to attend classes, which has achieved the concentration of educational resources and effective use. ”

Cisco's introduction, the application in South Korea is very popular. Korean students are popular in cram schools, and it is hard for parents to send their children to cram school, while using cloud services solves the problem.

Ningxiaobia Introduction, through the database integration, parents can make an appointment to tutor and tutorial time. "At the time of appointment, students can listen to a tutor when they turn on the computer, and the tutor, through the back-end data support, is very clear about the students ' past learning and has targeted lectures." ”

Cloud computing has moved from industry applications to families and communities. In the Cisco Cloud Experience Center There is a small room, the owner of watching TV at home, someone to knock at the door, TV display immediately jumped out of the display, the owner can use the TV remote control to operate the door or not open the door, but also through the remote control to determine the brightness of the light and whether the

"By government input."

But the case is not trendy in cloud computing. Ningxiaobia introduced the use of cloud computing ubiquitous features to do an application. People put a small chip on the body, this chip can monitor people's blood pressure, heartbeat and so many health-related information. If people in doing a certain action will harm the body, the chip received information after transmission to the background, the background will be issued in a timely manner warning information to avoid causing harm to people. If the situation is serious, the doctor in the background will immediately advise the treatment. It is said that the U.S. insurance companies are interested in this application, the applicant will be timely information reminders to avoid accidents, insurance companies will reduce compensation.

Cloud computing is designed to be cost-saving, but initial deployment requires a lot of money, and home cloud computing also needs high-bandwidth support. At present, Wuxi in Jiangsu, Ningbo in Zhejiang, Shanghai Jiading, Shanghai Pudong are in a hurry to engage in cloud computing. These cities are relying on government input to support some model projects, hoping to find a mature business model.

In China's "Twelve-Five" development plan, the Internet of Things, smart grid, innovative medical and educational models, urbanization and the integration of three networks have become the focus of national development and key factors, and these can actually be closely related to cloud computing.

Ningxiaobia said that although the overall economic environment is not very good, but the Chinese market to deploy cloud computing investment has not diminished. "Governments around the world may have cut other budgets, but the relevant investment in cloud computing remains the same." Ningxiaobia added that the deployment of cloud computing would still need to be driven by government input. Cisco believes that the Chinese government will continue to devote a lot of resources and strength to promote the development of cloud industry, the government also hopes that the cloud industry can become a core driver of industrial change and transformation.

Cisco has released its Global cloud computing industry Analysis and Forecast report, pointing out that the current global cloud computing network annual traffic size of 130 exabytes (million megabytes), by 2015 will grow to 1.6 zettabytes (trillion GB), expanded to 12 times times the current size, The annual compound growth rate averaged 66%. Cisco's report also predicts that by 2015, Global Data Center network traffic will contain more than One-third of the cloud computing traffic, when the global Cloud computing annual traffic volume equivalent to 22 trillion hours of audio streaming, or 5 trillion-hour corporate video conferencing or 1.6 trillion-hour online high-definition video streaming.
