Wen Wei po: Cloud computing "fever"

The internet industry has a serious remark: The pioneer may eventually become a martyr. Right now, there are a lot of people vying for another fashionable "pioneer"-Cloud computing "fever", Beware of "contagion" reporter Zhang Yi is not clear how the cloud computing is going on, and no embarrassment, because even in the industry, now really understand it is not many people, but in this case, many places have put forward the construction of " Cloud Computing Center's plan-is there a problem?　　Or could it be a bubble?　　Yang Xueshan, vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is in Shanghai to participate in the International City Information Forum, said in an interview yesterday that some of the domestic "cloud computing Center" Construction plan is indeed blindness.　　The cloud Center can only feed a front desk? Yes, cloud computing is now one of the hottest words in it, and many people agree with it as the next leading technology in the information industry. At home, according to the reporter understand, there have been dozens of "clouds", or has been built cloud computing center, or is about to be built, including government investment projects.　　What are their health status? An unnamed industry insider told reporters that not long ago, they visited the "one cloud" in depth, the result was very unexpected. The project invested tens of millions of yuan, but it has been operating for some time with few users and only enough monthly income to pay a receptionist. The project is constructed by local government and private capital, and the government is a big shareholder. In private exchanges, private investors sigh, "investment failure."　　At the same time, the technology team serving the cloud computing hub had to "make a living" and was busy writing other software to keep the team stable.　　He also said that, as far as he was aware, the current domestic built in the same kind of cloud computing center, the operation is only a few. He told reporters that the cloud computing center is expected to provide commercial services for small and medium-sized Enterprises, the collection of hardware and software services charges. From the appearance, it's "cloud taste" is very strong-centralized procurement of servers and some applications, so that small and medium-sized enterprises do not need to build their own it facilities, as long as the ordinary computer internet access "cloud" can be.　　But in practice, small and medium-sized enterprises have not yet established trust in the Cloud Computing center, and the service capacity of the center can not meet the needs of enterprises.　　The person at the same time revealed that the center, although there are no customers, but each day in the reception of a number of "followers", as if to become a local brand of "City card." Who can grasp the nature of cloud computing "cloud computing, the first is the development of applications, rather than the construction of hardware facilities."　　"Vice Minister of the Ministry of Yang Xueshan said to reporters yesterday, in his view, the current domestic understanding of cloud computing is very different, many places on the nature of cloud computing is not in place." Yang Xueshan spent a few minutes explaining what he understood about cloud computing, a massive infrastructure like the grid and the water network, which, under the unified dispatch, used the Internet to deliver hardware and software resources to demand. The essence of cloud computing, he says, is to use and revitalize existing resources.　　In other words, if resources are found to be insufficient, it is not too late to add. that nowDo some computing centers lack resources? Song, president of the international renowned cloud computing software company, Greater China, is the "Preacher" of cloud computing.　　Yesterday he confessed that in many places computing centers are only 10% to 15% utilization, so investing in a new cloud computing center is not an urgent task. Xu Yi, of the Shanghai Cloud Computing Industry Alliance, said that Shanghai had recently promulgated cloud computing strategy known as "The Sea of clouds", focusing not on the establishment of cloud computing centers, but on sorting out the 10 major applications, focusing on enterprises, exploring service patterns, and increasing investment in key technology research and development in cloud computing. The Government's role in this is to actively support and create the environment: "For example, the use of cloud computing technology can integrate the medical records of patients dispersed in various hospitals together, and establish a cross hospital, cross-regional Personal health file for better health care for the public." "In such a pattern, it does not matter which server the data is on and which center the computing resource is provided by." The Data Integrator and service operator are the real taps.　　Therefore, the development of cloud computing, if only "build room, buy hardware and software", in fact, is the cart before the horse. So where does the "cloud computing craze", which emphasizes infrastructure, come from? Xu Yi's analysis says that there are many cross-border vendors in the background-with the concept of cloud computing, they expand their own servers and software sales.　　Some local governments have the "fear of backwardness" pressure, or the pursuit of "face project" momentum. Dealing with cloud computing should tolerate failure at this stage blindly build cloud computing center, it is not worth the candle.　　Depreciation is rapidly the common characteristics of IT investment, in the short term, if you can not find a valuable service model, pay a large price to buy equipment will soon be outdated. However, Yang Xueshan told our correspondent, the current domestic cloud computing development, although there are some understanding and action deviation, but should be tolerant of their mentality, can not perfection, after all, this is a new thing, can only in the exploration forward.　　He said that the development of cloud computing should be "first mode and hardware", but upside down is not entirely impossible.　　But he stressed that this "reverse operation" must grasp the yardstick, first of all to have a healthy cash flow. Is there a bubble in the domestic cloud computing center? Song said that the first to build a infrastructure infrastructure, perhaps in the exploration of cloud computing model to occupy a certain opportunity. In it, he says, it is not wise to "make everything clear," and the lessons of failure are valuable.　　This answer is very flattering, but at the same time to promote the development of a new industry in the process of risk and helplessness. The internet industry has a saying: pioneers may eventually become martyrs. Only hope that in today's cloud computing "fever" when the mouth, we can be less blind, more discretion, in the future can be less lessons, more success.
