After the large computer, personal computer, Internet, supercomputer, cloud computing as a major breakthrough in the field of modern information technology, is setting off a new wave of information. In recent years, the cloud computing industry has developed rapidly and has great potential. Statistics show that 2010 Global cloud computing services revenue reached 70 billion U.S. dollars, is expected to break 150 billion in 2013, 2015 is expected to exceed 180 billion U.S. dollars. It is urgent and significant to grasp the important strategic opportunity of cloud computing development, speed up the development of related High-tech industries, and maintain steady and rapid economic development.

Developing cloud computing industry is an important way to accelerate the transformation of economic development in Inner Mongolia

To adhere to scientific development and promote rich and strong areas is the development theme of the present and future period in Inner Mongolia. In the new century, despite the rapid economic and social development, but the industrial structure is not excellent, low level of the problem is still outstanding, the urgent need for emerging technologies such as cloud computing and industry to provide strong support, and constantly improve the status and competitiveness of industrial Division of labor at home and abroad.

(a) Vigorously develop cloud computing industry, is to promote Inner Mongolia industrial structure optimization upgrade of the powerful engine. On the one hand, this is conducive to the promotion of traditional industries in Inner Mongolia extension. For Inner Mongolia Energy, chemical industry, metallurgy, equipment manufacturing, agricultural and animal products processing and other advantages of the industry chain is not long, the use of cloud computing platform can achieve scientific research, procurement, production, scheduling, sales, warehousing, transportation and other links information integration. In particular, through the integration of advanced information technology, control technology and electric power technology based on cloud computing, we can further improve coal mining technology and production management level, drive smart grid and power micro-network construction, utilize distributed energy technology and intelligent Multidimensional Energy network system to realize the deep integration of energy and information technology, And then promote the energy, heavy chemical and other leading industries extension upgrade. On the other hand, this is conducive to the integration and expansion of information industry and related industries in Inner Mongolia. It is an important point to adjust the economic structure of Inner Mongolia to vigorously develop the non resource-based industry with the focus of the new industries. As a new IT operation model, cloud computing has spawned a new industrial chain. Apply it to the information industry, will effectively integrate E-commerce, e-government and intelligent urban construction and other existing information infrastructure, the establishment of a unified, efficient and convenient business and resource scheduling management platform, can provide a strong scientific research and innovation platform to support the implementation of security, energy saving and other centralized control; apply it to the service industry, Can drive the software enterprise to the service transformation, the promotion industry fusion new service state, the support thing networking, the smart grid and so on emerging industry development, accelerates the manufacturing industry, the service industries and so on the transformation upgrade.

(b) The development of cloud computing industry is an effective way to improve the level of public service. Inner Mongolia has a large span of things, a lot of infrastructure, social development and the task of improving people's livelihood is very heavy, to "Twelve-Five" to achieve the income of urban and rural residents and basic public services to achieve the national average level of the goal, we must focus on improving social management and public service quality and level. Through the establishment of the regional cloud computing center to build a cloud computing public management and service platform, we can effectively integrate the social management and public service infrastructure of Autonomous Region, Union City, Flag County (city and district), and co-ordinate the administrative resources of urban planning, land use, municipal administration, People's Livelihood and emergency command. Further improve the efficiency of government administration and the level of public service.

The development of cloud computing industry in Inner Mongolia has good advantage condition

December 2011, the State Council executive Conference Special research deployment to accelerate the development of our next generation of Internet industry work, clearly put forward the construction of broadband, integration, security, ubiquitous new generation of national information infrastructure, promote Internet business processes, support cloud computing and other industrial development. Although the cloud computing industry in Inner Mongolia starts late, it has good development advantages and basic conditions, so it can be a promising one in this field.

One is the superior natural geographical conditions. From the climatic conditions, Inner Mongolia is 38-47 degrees north latitude, the temperate continental monsoon climate, the annual average temperature of 0-8 degrees Celsius, suitable for large-scale data center equipment natural cooling, 7-8 months do not need air-conditioning system, is conducive to reducing operating costs. From the land and geographical environment, the vast area of Inner Mongolia, there is a large number of unused desert land resources, the vast majority of areas with relatively stable geological structure, away from the seismic belt, history has not occurred too large flood disaster, to ensure the stability of large data centers.

Second, adequate energy security conditions. Adequate power resources are the basic guarantee of the normal operation of cloud computing data center. As an important energy base in the country, Inner Mongolia has an independent power grid, power resources enrichment, electricity price is lower than the coastal city average of 0.3 to 0.5 yuan per degree, at present, more than half of the total power installed in the region, wind power installed in the national wind power installed more than 1/3, sufficient power resources to fully meet the operation needs of large data centers.

The third is the unique location advantage condition. Inner Mongolia close to Beijing and Tianjin, can take the initiative to take the Bohai Sea Economic Circle cloud computing industry development radiation, is expected to become the national cloud computing industry important bearer node. To cross the northeast, north China, northwest, adjacent to Black, Kyrgyzstan, Liao, Ji, Jin, Shaanxi, Gan, Ning Eight provinces, with independent construction or with the surrounding provinces and regions to build the cloud computing industry regional agglomeration area of the basic conditions. It is beneficial to realize the integrated utilization of "two markets" and "two kinds of resources" through the laying of optical fiber channels at home and abroad through the connecting point of the Eurasian Bridge.

Four is a good policy support conditions. As one of the key areas for the development and opening-up of ethnic minority areas and countries, Inner Mongolia enjoys the national policy of the nation while enjoying the policies of the western development and the revitalization of old industrial bases such as the northeast. In 2011, the country's guidance to support the good and fast development of Inner Mongolia clearly proposed the differentiation of industrial policies and land policies in Inner Mongolia, and supported the construction of large data centers. In the planning of the main functional area of the country, the area of e-bag is also the key development area.

Important issues to be grasped in the development of cloud computing industry

The Ninth party Congress of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the "Twelve-Five" plan clearly put forward the construction of large data centers and accelerate the development of a new generation of high-end information industry. At present, the "cloud computing industry development Planning in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (2011-2020)" has been introduced. Next, Inner Mongolia will give full play to resource advantages and conditions, to build a national large-scale data center as the focus, accelerate the development of cloud computing industry, Synergy led other strategic emerging industries, modern services and high-end manufacturing industry to promote development. To this end, need to co-ordinate the following several important relations.

First, to co-ordinate the relationship between government guidance and market operation. Cloud computing industry construction involves the industrial layout, park construction, infrastructure, software research and development, demonstration platform, security and other aspects, is a large-scale investment, construction cycle long, involving a wide range of high safety factors of complex systems engineering, not only the government's strong guidance, but also the need for the active participation of various market subjects. At the government-led level, the current focus is to vigorously promote the implementation of cloud computing industry planning. "Cloud computing industry development Planning in Inner Mongolia (2011-2020)" Clearly put forward, to "Twelve-Five" end, and strive to build 1 million square meters, more than 1 million servers of large-scale cloud computing data center; by 2020, planning and construction of more than 1.5 million square meters of cloud computing data centers, Initial construction of cloud computing application focus demonstration platform. In the long run, Inner Mongolia can further enlarge the cloud Computing data center, speed up the hardware construction such as cable channel, expand the service scope, establish the Internet root server of our country, and become one of the data centers in Europe, Asia and even international. To attract domestic and foreign investors to develop cloud computing industry in Inner Mongolia by setting up special funds, enjoying preferential pricing and related resource allocation. To establish a sound cloud computing talent training, introduction and sharing mechanism, the cloud computing talent included in the autonomous region, "Grassland Excellence" Introduction program, in the autonomous regions of colleges and universities to open cloud computing professional, support enterprises and units within and outside the region to carry out talent exchange and sharing. In the market operation, we should introduce a group of cloud computing enterprises with strong strength, with the help of its comprehensive advantages in capital and technology, and promote the development of cloud computing industrial Park, data center and related industry in Inner Mongolia. To strengthen cooperation and exchanges with five pilot cities and neighboring provinces and municipalities, through the establishment of research and production alliances, the development of cloud Computing Industry Summit Forum, and actively develop and well-known cloud computing enterprises, scientific research institutions, such as cooperation and exchanges, to promote the rapid development of cloud computing industry in Inner Mongolia.

Second, to co-ordinate and grasp the relationship between strengthening infrastructure and promoting the application of technology. Insufficient bandwidth of fiber channel is the main bottleneck restricting the development of cloud computing industry. In the near future, the key point is to accelerate the connection with the backbone network of the core cities in China, and actively strive to build the backbone network of the country and form an important data service base for the whole country. At the same time, actively encourage and promote telecom operators to establish an international export bureau, for the early completion of the Russian direct access to Europe's international fiber network, to achieve with Paris, Stuttgart and other European core cities of direct connectivity, to attract European customers to establish the Bureau, the formation of Europe and the World cloud computing Services Platform While speeding up the construction of infrastructure, we must simultaneously plan and promote the application of cloud computing technology, especially the integration of the key industries such as intelligent Energy, strong power grid, coal chemical industry, steel and non-ferrous metal processing, modern equipment manufacturing, agricultural and animal products processing, etc. Accelerate the development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry and E-commerce, modern logistics and other modern services, and promote the application of cloud computing in the field of urban management and people's livelihood, to form a cloud service industry with Inner Mongolia characteristics to meet the domestic and foreign market demand.

Third, the overall grasp of the optimization of industrial layout and the implementation of key demonstration projects of the relationship. According to the national Development of cloud computing industry ideas and deployment, based on the consideration of the development of the East-West Alliance, the western part of Inner Mongolia focuses on the layout of the cloud computing industry in the three cities, promoting the interaction between the related industries and the cloud computing industry; the eastern Region first built data back-up centers in Chifeng and then considered developing related industries in other leagues. In the rational layout of the cloud computing industry based on the implementation of the "Blue Sky Baiyun" cloud computing project in Inner Mongolia, efforts to promote public cloud, government cloud and corporate cloud, such as key demonstration projects, to launch the implementation of a number of key application pilot projects, to explore suitable for different regions and different areas of cloud computing It lays the foundation for the comprehensive application of cloud computing industry. In addition, the key industries, such as foreign trade, modern logistics and electronic commerce, should accelerate the construction of the digital ports such as Manchuria and Erenhot, improve the level of information in the port, and speed up the establishment of the communication channel with foreign exchange. At present, Hohhot City has planned the construction of 25 square kilometers cloud computing industry Park, is starting to build 4 large-scale cloud computing data centers and related industrial projects; Eerduosi has planned 10 square kilometers of cloud computing industrial Park, ZTE Energy, Beijing century interconnection and other enterprises projects have been started construction Chifeng is building Mondondo cloud computing Software Park, the IBM Chifeng Mondondo Cloud Computing Center project has been launched.

Finally, to co-ordinate the relationship between promoting industrial development and serving the social and people's livelihood. The development of cloud computing industry, eventually to reflect the promotion of scientific development, the realization of rich and strong areas, so that the development results fully benefit the people. In the process of developing cloud computing industry, we should not only transform and upgrade traditional resources industry, promote the development of non resource-based industries and High-tech industries, but also make new breakthroughs in social management and service of the people. In particular, the third industry, labor-intensive industries, small and medium-sized enterprises to develop, and further expand the employment of all ethnic groups and income channels. Meanwhile, in view of the important livelihood issues concerned by urban and rural residents, we should accelerate the establishment of cloud computing services in public education, public health care, food security, human resources and other fields, promote equalization of basic public services, promote the all-round development of social undertakings, and form a basic public service system which accords with the district sentiment, covers To strengthen the application of various information methods such as cloud computing in social management innovation, combined with the current social hot and difficult problems, the establishment of dynamic tracking, full-featured social Management Information system, building a government-led, social participation, service overall social management information platform, and constantly innovate and improve the social management level under the new situation.
