Cloud computing can bring something for operators

 MM of: In-Stat analyst Qiang
China Cloud computing is a transparent to the user mode of delivery and use of resources, through the network to on-demand, and scalable way to provide users with the necessary resources. Based on the available resources different cloud services infrastructure can be divided into both services (Iaas), platform for both services (Paas) both services and software (Saas). and according to the service object and purpose of the different structures of clouds, cloud computing can be divided into private cloud and shared the cloud.
cloud computing has the following features:
1. based on rapid deployment of virtualization technology resources or access to services
2. to achieve dynamic, scalable expansion
3. Demand provide resources to pay by use
4. through the Internet, mass-oriented information processing
5. users to participate in simple, convenient
present in the world, the Amazon services, and represented Iaas the Salesforce cloud, represented Saas services have yielded success. Amazon AWS business has annual revenues more than 1 billion the amount of $ 20,000,000, and Salesforce's revenue has exceeded one billion U.S. dollars.
Cloud computing as a disruptive innovation, the traditional IDC and software services industry has brought new business model and business model. by greatly improve server utilization, on the basis of the scale effect of not only the costs incurred attract a lot of attention to large enterprises, but also for small and medium enterprises and individual users a cheap, high-performance computing, server leasing, operation and storage services to business and development environment. in the financial crisis, the price advantage of cloud computing further highlighted.
in China, cloud computing market has been gradually on the rise. In terms of private clouds, Sinopec and China Mobile are doing for some cloud computing applications within the pilot; in a shared cloud, the Century released in 2009, Internet the CloudEx the Iaas service platform, mainly for small and medium enterprises, 800App cloud CRM services have been fighting for more than 2600 subscribers, Beijing, Wuxi and Shenzhen, the Government has made some investment in the software park business services for the local cloud pilot. enter In 2010, cloud computing has become increasingly fast pace, front step cloud, Joyent, Wei library network also will carry out cloud computing services, Internet giants such as Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba is also speeding up its own cloud computing platform R & D and build .
In fact, cloud computing market, particularly the sharing of cloud computing in China the main driver of prosperity is still from the operator. As the price advantage of cloud computing is built on the basis of scale, the data Center scale and the threshold higher bandwidth requirements; the other hand, the key technologies and cloud computing platform providers are the major foreign companies, the establishment of cloud computing platforms require high financial investment or long development times; Canada provision of telecommunications on the basis of domestic policies to protect businesses that have made China telecom operators blow the cloud computing market, the largest source of power.
in 2010, the Chinese telecom operators in the traditional business and IDC IDC is value-added business Cloud computing is not very cold, which with the current carriers in the large group of customers IDC business monopoly status. because China Mobile is currently in the backbone and metropolitan area networks and resources to IDC, compared with Telecom and China Unicom are still some gap; the Internet such as the century of IDC service providers in competition in the large group of customers can not be compared with the telecom operators, together with Telecom China Unicom overall north-south boundaries, resulting in a large group customers in the Telecom and China Unicom IDC lack of business competitive pressures, steady development in the IDC market situation, the lack of telecom operators will migrate IDC business the power to cloud.
With the 3G in 2009 and carry out a comprehensive full-service operations, cloud computing brings to telecom operators The new operation ideas.
first telecom operators in the hands of hundreds of millions of individual users and home users, but the lack of these users use the Internet and mobile Internet behavior and classification accuracy statistics, telecom operators In the course development, personalized service, and push on the Internet and the development of mobile Internet applications, the lack of reasonable data to support, just by some provinces and cities in the survey is difficult to reflect on the entire business operations under the user's actual Internet and mobile Internet demand and user behavior. And if you want the country hundreds of millions of user data to conduct a comprehensive classification and analysis, require very powerful computing capability, cloud computing is the realization of large-scale data mining of the best technology tools. In fact, China Mobile plan also has a large cloud of data mining as a key target.
Second, the growing cloud of small and medium business customers market impact. In Iaas level, Century Internet service providers such as IDC has launched a number of simple Cloud Iaas services for the small and medium business customers, cloud computing Iaas rented room than the original model's price advantage is a fatal attraction; Iaas can be achieved through the mail, storage, backup and other value-added business has been able to meet the small business customers. the great potential of small and medium business market has attracted the attention of telecom operators, telecom launched a commercial pilot, the mobile also introduced a power of 100. and in the market competition for small and medium business customers, the price factor will critical, and large-scale cloud will determine the market price advantage of the competitive landscape. On the other hand, in Saas level, China's 3,000 million small and medium enterprises, the use of managed not only paying customers Saas to 80,000, according to research revealed that there are more than 1 / 3 of the small and medium enterprises willing to use managed Saas. This needs a huge difference with the actual purchase was mainly due to the lack of brand users of non-market acceptance Saas high, still in the financing stage managed Saas carriers and non-uniform standards for the management of type Saas doubts. but no doubt that small and medium enterprises managed Saas market will be a new blue ocean, and built in the telecom Business cloud computing platforms such as CRM Saas managed low-cost will be more beneficial to the overall enhancement of acceptance.
Finally, the cloud of individuals and families of fixed and mobile Internet applications has brought new ideas. In the fierce full-service competitive market, telecom operators all the time not looking for killer applications, and hope to have the market leading Internet companies in order to achieve the user stickiness. in Internet companies is the overall transformation to the cloud environment, telecom operators can use its abundant resources to provide a reliable infrastructure cloud computing platform to attract partners to provide its services to families and individuals, will be 3-5 years after the competition in all key business operations. And On the other hand, in the handheld and home terminal operators are also facing high-bandwidth applications that require high computing power, bringing high-end prices and low user acceptance of the embarrassing situation. The high-bandwidth applications by some calculations to cloud migration, can be achieved in a simple terminal to achieve more complex applications, like games, rich media high bandwidth applications in the mid and even low-end handheld or home terminal landing, most operators will be looking forward to the next killer application.
In addition, cloud computing technology as the key things, and a key means to achieve a low carbon economy will also be carriers of the development of the power of cloud computing. but more pressing is that in small and medium enterprises and households individual users to stay ahead of competition in the market, and data mining applications within private clouds. In-Stat believes that cloud computing platform operators will be first appeared commercially in 2013, and the establishment of the internal private clouds may be much earlier .
