2011 Cloud Computing Market Summary: Vendors Qualify

In 2011, known as the “Year of Cloud Computing Practice”, China’s cloud computing market with unlimited potential attracted global attention. Major manufacturers are watching this “cake”, and some even “conspiracy” to enter China. The market is looking for partners in China; the cloud computing related conferences held in China this year are all in the forefront. The top executives of Microsoft, Rackspace, Wyse, Dell and BMC, Trend Micro and others are all present at the meeting. We are seeing you as a manufacturer's passion for cloud computing.

To this end, the author specifically made a summary of the cloud computing market in the first half of the year, starting from the IT vendors and local governments.

1. Microsoft: Mirroring Microsoft has also introduced a number of cloud computing products in the first half of the year. For example, at the 2011 Microsoft Management Summit, Microsoft introduced a new IT solution. The products released are Windows Intune and System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Beta2 (SystemCenterConfigurationManager2012Beta2). ) and the next version of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). At the end of February this year, Microsoft announced that it will provide up to 750 hours of free trial time on its Azure cloud computing platform, designed to attract more developers to use the cloud computing platform. At the end of the first half of the year, Microsoft officially released Office365.

Not only that, we also saw the Microsoft cloud computing at numerous exhibitions. At the 2011 Cambridge Energy Week, Microsoft CEO Ballmer called cloud computing the "wave of the future." At Computex 2011, Microsoft demonstrated to the public. Its Microsoft cloud computing solution "The Family", which includes consumer-level WindowsLive, Bing, Zune, Hotmail, XBox, and recently acquired SkyDrive, etc., enterprise-level cloud computing solution is Office365, including online Lync, ExchangeSharepoint and Forefront. Wait.

Although there are many gains, Microsoft has not been smooth in terms of cloud computing. In mid-May of this year, the Microsoft cloud computing Microsoft Exchange Online service failed, causing users to send e-mail messages delayed by 3-9 hours. The Microsoft BPOS cloud is one week before Office365 is released. The hosting suite service was once again interrupted. The interruption lasted for at least three hours. It involved network hardware issues. Microsoft users in North America were affected. It seems that Microsoft will have to work hard on the security of cloud services in the second half of the year.

2. Amazon - Clouds In the first half of the year, Amazon's downtime was impressive to the industry. Its April downtime led to the inclusion of location-based social networking site FoureSquare, Q&A service provider Quora, news sharing site Reddit, and publishing for the Internet. The BigDoor, which provides game tools, is still serious because Amazon’s failure lasted for four days, again triggering a trust crisis in cloud computing and making users shout “injury!”

Amazon triggered the cloud computing trust crisis is not only reflected in its downtime, when WikiLeaks leaked, Amazon pressured the government to reject Wikileaks's cloud hosting service, and did not explain the content of Wikileaks without apology.

But these serious failures did not scare off Amazon's users. They did not stop using Amazon's cloud services, and even users indicated that the website was faulty because they discovered the best example of Amazon Web hosting on Amazon (PDF). )" There are many suggestions to help them through the interruption.

Although it has the trust of users, compared to Microsoft, I believe that in the days to come, Amazon must definitely work hard on the security of cloud services. At least it must work harder than Microsoft in order to have a place on the battlefield of the cloud.

3. In the first half of the "Apple Cloud," Mr. Jobs Joe made a series of drastic reforms and arrangements for Apple's cloud computing. The most eye-catching than WWDC, Steve Jobs personally published and introduced iCloud. However, it is understood that before the release of iCloud, Apple reached an agreement with Sony Records, Warner Music, and EMI to store files on Apple's servers, enabling users to listen to streaming music using the iPhone and iPad without syncing data. I made a series of preliminary preparations for iCloud cloud computing music service.

WWDC2011, Steve Jobs's appearance attracted many attention. When Jobs announced that iCould was free, the background played a huge "Free" word to tie it in. This action overturned the previous online business, and the mobileme service previously launched will also be free. Surprisingly, the services provided by iCloud are temporarily hosted by Microsoft's Windows Azure and Amazon's cloud computing services. iCloud does not save the actual content, but simply manages the upload process and transmits various data to third-party cloud computing services such as Windows Azure and Amazon. Although this is the case, the industry has been talking about it for a time. From operators to instant messaging software companies to their strong rivals Google and Amazon, they all feel pressure.

Not to mention that iCloud now uses Microsoft and Amazon cloud computing services. In the highly competitive cloud computing market, iCloud still has great doubts about its success, but with the addition of "Apple Cloud," cloud computing The competition is undoubtedly thrilling and it is believed that consumers will benefit from it.

4. Hewlett-Packard: Newcomers visited Hewlett-Packard Co., which has been regarded as a "hardware vendor," and company president Li Aike pointed out that Hewlett-Packard will develop three major keywords in the future: cloud computing, connectivity, and software, not printers, PCs, and servers. The new leader decided to let HP take a more "soft" path and completely replace HP with a new one.

At the Discover2011 conference in early June, Apotheker stated that HP will conduct in-depth research and development of the cloud computing platform. This new cloud computing plan will invest billions of dollars. According to HP's news, it will invest $2 billion in new research and development of cloud computing platforms.

For the cloud computing market in China that is favored by more and more foreign companies, HP also has a lot of new moves. HP's new initiatives in China include the establishment of a China-based HP cloud computing solution center in Tianjin, the establishment of a new R&D center in Beijing, the expansion of Shanghai operations and investment, the establishment of the PSG Group's China regional headquarters in Shanghai, and increased investment in Chongqing factories and regions. .

Hewlett-Packard as the world's largest IT company, and the largest IT company, the enterprise business group contains a product line enough to top an IBM, but you are difficult for HP in the IT industry to locate, it is hard to say clearly what HP is doing , its leadership position in the printing and PC market is indeed very difficult to shake, but Hewlett-Packard has said that the future development of the three major keywords, namely cloud computing, connectivity and software, strategically began to turn to cloud computing, can be said to be expected In addition, the transformation in reasoning is indeed a small shock. However, the increasingly fierce competition, HP can grasp the cloud computer conference, leaving the industry can only wait and see.

Local governments: The power of cloud computing is brewing IT changes is incalculable, from the role of government in the transformation of information can be seen, the previous government in the information only as a participant to join, but in the era of cloud computing The government has transformed itself into a leader in public information infrastructure and services such as cloud resources and cloud platforms.

"Local cloud" construction:

Beijing's "Cloud Project": In October 2010, the Beijing Economic and Information Technology Commission issued the "Beijing Cloud Project" Action Plan, proposing three types of "cloud computing" typical services - infrastructure services, in 2015. Platform services and software services form an industrial scale of 50 billion yuan, which in turn drives the cloud computing industry chain to generate 200 billion yuan in output value.

Shanghai's "Cloud Plan": In the afternoon of August 17, 2010, Shanghai issued the three-year action plan for the Shanghai Action Plan for the Promotion of Cloud Computing Industry (2010-2012), which is the "Yun Hai Plan." The plan points out that in the next three years, Shanghai will work hard to build the “Asia-Pacific Cloud Computing Center” and cultivate ten cloud computing companies with annual operating income exceeding 100 million yuan, and drive the information service industry to increase operating revenue by 100 billion yuan.

Chongqing's "Cloud Plan": In early April 2010, the "Two River International Cloud Computing Center" was opened in Chongqing's Liangjiang New District. The "Cloud Plan" for the development of cloud computing industry in Chongqing was officially launched. Huang Qifan, mayor of Chongqing Municipality, announced that in three years, Chongqing will basically become China's largest offshore and onshore data processing center. This plan is called "Cloud Plan" in Chongqing. "End" is a variety of electronic information terminal products, "cloud" is the core data center of communication.

Suzhou's “Fengyun Online”: The SaaS (Software as a Service) service platform jointly built by Suzhou Industrial Park, Microsoft Corporation, and Jiangsu Fengyun Network Service Co., Ltd.—Fengyun Online was officially launched. The platform is a Chinese cooperation project of Microsoft's "Software + Services" strategy, and it is also an important plan for Suzhou Industrial Park to lead the domestic SaaS operation market.

Many cities have successively launched cloud computing industry development plans and initiatives. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has identified five cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Wuxi, etc. to carry out pilot demonstration work of cloud computing service innovation development first, and then gradually promoted to the whole country. Obviously the government is promoting The development of cloud computing, as well as issues such as privacy and standards for cloud computing, also requires the government to issue relevant policies and regulations.
