What is the significance of IDC's open platform?

In the cloud market, from the original IDC into the cloud computing service providers quite a market. They focus on small and medium-sized enterprises, in different industries deep, fit user needs. But this kind of cloud computing service provider's malady is unable to be big, some also exists the original infrastructure to be unable to match the cloud computing architecture, this causes the following question: This kind of IDC cloud service provider, how they should transform successfully and enlarge, reshape the ecosystem circle?

Recent Huayun data announced open platform. This one, immediately caused the industry hot debate. The reason is that Huayun data will open its cloud computing capabilities to help many IDC service providers (currently facing agents) to the cloud, and with these IDC to reshape the cloud ecological chain, is very likely to change the direction of IDC cloud computing.

Is that possible?

Open platform is the trend

Openness is the trend of the Internet. In opening this thing, internet companies have made a variety of attempts, the core objective is to open their various capabilities to partners, build ecological circle, common prosperity. And in this open background, can enhance their own strength, and further enhance their leadership in the industry.

The industry has been more successful Tencent, it announced three years ago open platform, according to the importance of partners to open the level of resources, including the relationship chain, interconnection, data opening of the three levels. In its "flow, technology, profitability," the slogan, three years for the partners to create the market value is equal to "reshape a Tencent."

Baidu's open platform is relying on the "search" this exclusive secret, hoping to rely on "box computing" to be able to direct the user's search to the developer, which is divided into open data and open applications. Even last year, Baidu push "direct number", is also an open data practice. However, from the effect of Baidu, it is still constantly looking for its own open road.

Therefore, the open platform is irreversible, internet companies have tried and achieved good returns. The premise of openness is that the open subject has the will and must have the ability to open, this opening also must have certain technical support, can bring the benefit to the open partner, otherwise, open what? Why open, what effect?

What is the significance of IDC's open platform?

As we all know, a few years ago, after the advent of cloud computing, many IDC turned into cloud service providers. However, the cloud service is completely different from the previous IDC "leased space", technical requirements of reliability, more security, more need to understand the customer's business, how to let customers access, on-demand business, like tap water, electricity to open business, on the system architecture, whether to support the transition to IaaS?

For IDC, Cloud computing is a rare development opportunity, but it faces various uncertainties. In comparison, Huayun data has a bit of experience. There are several important factors in this. One is the founder of Huayun data Hu Guangbin also understand the operation of IDC, but also a technical expert. Know how to operate, understand the business model and market change of IDC, understand technology, can solve IAAS infrastructure problem technically.

From the business of Huayun data itself, it becomes the largest and constantly explored cloud service provider in IDC. Up to now, Huayun data in more than 15 cities in 20 data centers, with tens of thousands of physical server clusters, network coverage of China Telecom, Chinese Unicom and Huayun data has its own BGP network, to achieve from the edge to the core network coverage. Can even say, on the scale, Huayun data and bat three, so the industry has "BATH" said.

Huayun data and many IDC have a cooperative relationship. In other words, IDC is both a Huayun data channel business partner, they can sell all kinds of resources through Huayun data, in which they are not simply selling computing resources (that is, selling IaaS services) or selling their own solutions on the basis of Huayun data to help customers better operate their business.

With this background, decided to huayun data to do open platform this matter. This is determined by its size, the customer base and the IDC relationship. And opening up this matter, may reshape the entire IDC circle the pattern.

Who is good for open platforms?

The Huayun data high-profile announcement open platform, very likely to disrupt the entire IDC cloud market. This "disruption" is more like changing the direction of the whole market.

As mentioned above, IDC in the transfer to cloud service providers, but simply the past "rented" the label into a "cloud host", that is, the sale of the same, the sales object unchanged, but the sales business has changed. For IDC, the cloud is not a simple access problem, but also need technology, resource matching, especially technical capabilities, which to the IDC proposed higher requirements.

Now it seems that the market is not optimistic. The nature of cloud computing is "the need to customize on-demand security and reliability." After the IDC cloud, there are a lot of IDC due to the customer facing narrow, no core competitiveness, can not guarantee the security system reliability, not to mention tailored solutions for users, the business is shrinking.

It seems that an open platform is good for everyone.

Or, the future of the IDC cloud is very likely to further differentiation. Around the Huayun data such as IDC cloud computing service providers, the formation of various industries for the IDC service providers. Huayun data in the core to play to provide a variety of capabilities, technical support role, while the open platform of the periphery is to contact customers, comb and develop the role of customer solutions, so up and down travel resources complementary, segmentation industry, can improve the entire IDC cloud computing services capabilities.

When IDC opens the platform, it will change the pattern of the agents ' solo struggle. Next, will the IDC Circle Open the platform? In that way, the market competition intensifies, it is very possible to enter the oligarch era.
