GITC 2014: Elites gather to soar to the sky

[[120831]]

In recent years, with the support of national policies, cloud computing has gradually been applied in real life. Cloud computing, a "big data" subject, has huge room for development. It is estimated that by 2015, the scale of my country's cloud computing industry chain will reach 750 billion yuan to 1 trillion yuan, and cloud computing-related listed companies will benefit directly.

An authoritative survey shows that as many as 75% of enterprises are now using some form of cloud computing services. However, in fact, the real factor driving the deployment of cloud computing is the ultimate business of the enterprise, not IT as people usually think. Therefore, the business decision makers of the enterprise must regard cloud computing as a solution that can quickly improve the ultimate business, and they also need to know how to select and manage this kind of IT centralized resources. It can be seen that the "cloud" world in China's Internet has become extremely exciting.

GITC 2014 will be held on October 9-10 at the Beijing National Convention Center. The theme of the conference is "Technology Evolution". It will focus on the latest Internet technologies and hot areas, and allow people to exchange ideas and discuss, experience the leapfrog development brought by the Internet, and look forward to the future direction of the Internet industry. Among them, the most eye-catching cloud special session will present a "cloud world" in the Chinese Internet era.

This conference has a new international perspective, insight into the development trend of global cloud computing, and starting from the application, discusses the focus topics such as cloud computing and big data, cloud computing and mobile Internet, cloud security and cloud computing industry applications. Although the concept of cloud computing has not been around for a long time, and the application of cloud computing has just started, it will take some time to mature, but under the promotion of many business leaders, cloud computing has shown strong vitality, and cloud computing-based applications are increasing and becoming popular. Distributed computing technology and software-as-a-service business models with the Internet as the core are the important foundation and premise for the emergence of cloud computing, and later became the key technology and component of cloud computing. In China, there are already some companies covering the entire cloud computing industry chain, including cloud computing software and hardware providers, cloud computing system integrators, cloud computing hardware equipment providers, cloud computing application service providers and extended industries, and have their own clear positioning and strategic direction in the cloud computing industry chain.

Since 2011, cloud computing has gradually been implemented. Many cloud-based companies have launched specific cloud computing products and services. Their cloud servers can realize the containerization of data centers, improve deployment efficiency, and reduce operating costs. Or by introducing some virtualization and cloud computing technologies, traditional self-owned data centers can be transformed to achieve the upgrade from physical resources to virtual resources. However, from an overall perspective, cloud computing is still very controversial in the entire IDC industry, and the implementation process is still difficult.

From the current market perspective, IDC companies only regard cloud computing as an expansion business, and their attitude towards cloud computing is still very contradictory. Because conceptually, cloud computing is indeed a new computing model change that will have a huge impact on IT architecture. If you cannot adapt to this process, you are likely to be eliminated. As Ke Wenda, general manager of Microsoft's Asia Pacific Global Technical Support Center, said, if you ignore cloud computing, Microsoft may lose all its customers in an instant. However, in terms of actual operations, the implementation of cloud computing in data centers still faces many problems such as business models, user security concerns and usage habits.

Yuan Bin, CTO of LeTV, who is a member of the presidium of GITC2014, said earlier: "As the cornerstone of LeTV's ecosystem, we maintain our sensitivity to new technologies. In recent years, we have promoted the research and application of cloud computing, big data and other technical fields, and have accumulated a lot of experience in large-scale CDN services, large-scale distributed architecture, cluster architecture, automated operation and maintenance, high-reliability transmission, etc. We look forward to making more like-minded friends through GITC, learning from each other, and jointly promoting new developments in technology."

Although cloud computing has brought many challenges to operators, especially in terms of business models, allowing traditional Internet companies to bypass operators to develop innovative services, and even directly impacting operators' existing businesses in mobile instant messaging, data hosting and other businesses, it is clear that as a technological trend rather than a single technology, cloud computing spans the three major fields of IT, Internet, and telecommunications, opens up the entire industrial chain, provides a new way of information production, consumption and service, and also provides unlimited space for operators to transform.

How to make good use of the cloud in China's Internet? Please look forward to the GITC 2014 Cloud Special Session on October 9-10: Internet companies, operators, equipment manufacturers, suppliers and related experts and scholars will discuss and exchange ideas on different cloud fields such as "cloud technology", "cloud market", "cloud equipment" and "cloud services" derived from cloud computing. I believe that by then, some cloud knowledge and cloud questions will be solved...
