Who changed the world? GITC 2014 Global Internet Technology Conference

Internet technology has been around for more than 40 years since its invention. In the past few years, a new round of Internet technology boom has emerged around the world. Large-scale broadband network construction is being carried out in many countries. Information industries such as cloud computing and big data have emerged and have expanded and developed very rapidly in the past few years. The transformation of the Internet industry is accelerating, and the pace of subverting traditional industries is further accelerating.

2014 is another year of leaps and changes in Internet technology. As the product of the development of computer science and Internet technology, various new technologies have become the key strategic technologies and means for the innovation of the world's future information industry, which not only creates far-reaching opportunities for change in the global information industry, but also creates a new communication environment for traditional industries such as industry. In the past 2013, WeChat subverted the traditional telecommunications industry, Internet finance challenged the traditional banking industry, and big data brought precise services. In 2014, many new changes occurred in the Internet, resulting in the following opportunities and challenges.

Opportunity: Big data is becoming more substantial and helping enterprises to move towards the Internet.

With the development of cloud computing, big data and the Internet (including mobile Internet), enterprises are gradually combining their internal business processes and external business activities with the Internet (including mobile Internet) in the expansion and development of their businesses, thereby effectively enhancing the core competitiveness of the enterprise as a whole. This trend is called the development trend of enterprise Internetization.

With the advent of the big data era, cloud technology has brought about tremendous changes and market changes in the application field. According to IDC research, the size of the big data market will grow from US$3.2 billion in 2010 to US$17 billion in 2015, and the global data volume will grow at a rate of more than 40% in the next 10 years. In 2013, the total amount of data generated in China exceeded 0.8ZB (equivalent to 800 million TB), twice that of 2012, and equivalent to the total amount of data in the world in 2009. It is expected that by 2020, the total amount of data generated in China will be 10 times that of 2013, exceeding 8.5ZB, and 80% of Chinese corporate users will run their enterprise-level workloads on data centers. This is a huge market opportunity for new tools, frameworks, hardware, software and services required by new technologies. But at the same time, facing this large amount of data, how to ensure network security, how to store and analyze it and make it generate value are new challenges faced by every enterprise.

Challenge: The development and application of technology urgently require network and information security protection.

Closely related to big data is network information security. With the rapid development of the Internet and the widespread application of technology, more and more information closely related to people's lives is gathered on the Internet, and network security risks are becoming increasingly prominent. If the security problem cannot be fundamentally solved, users will not be able to enjoy the fun brought by new technologies. Michael Skok, partner of North Bridge Venture Partners, shared the company's survey results: among 1,348 survey respondents, the SaaS adoption rate has increased fivefold in four years, from 11% to 74%. Among these 1,348 survey respondents, 43% are cloud users and 57% are technology providers. It is worth mentioning that 49% of the respondents expressed concerns about data security and privacy, about 17% of the respondents were concerned about the interoperability of cloud services (27% in 2013), and about 29% of users were worried about being locked in by service providers.

When using public cloud services such as AWS becomes a concern for customers, how should the entire cloud ecosystem develop? How to apply new technologies to drive enterprises to achieve cross-border and integration across the industry? What are the hot technologies in the new round of Internet technology evolution? What changes will their evolution bring to the development of the Internet industry and people's lives? How to master the latest Internet technologies, seize opportunities, grasp the fortune, and achieve leapfrog development in a market environment where opportunities and challenges coexist? All of these are the core issues studied and discussed by GITC (Global Internet Technology Conference).

As an annual large-scale conference and exhibition brand specially designed for the Internet industry and technology field, GITC successfully created a platform for Internet technology learning and sharing, business exchange and cooperation, and brand promotion in 2013. GITC2014 will be held grandly at the Beijing National Convention Center on October 9 and 10. The conference will set up seven conference sessions and enterprise exhibition sessions, including cloud session, big data session, network security session, operation and maintenance session, infrastructure session, technology development service session, and cutting-edge technology session. More than 500 benchmark companies will be invited to participate in the conference, 126 industry leaders and technical elites will serve as guest speakers, and more than 5,000 guests and audiences from the Internet and related industries will attend the conference.

As a microcosm of industrial development, GITC always closely follows the development trend of the industry, vows to be the vane of industry development, the birthplace of forward-looking views, and the supply station for enterprises to move forward. Here, you can fully learn the latest research results and cutting-edge practical experience of Internet leading technologies, personally experience the leading technological achievements and main products of major participating enterprises in the exhibition area, and accurately grasp the trend and development direction of the leading technology in the Internet industry.
