China cloud computing standards brewing

On July 21, Xie Duying, Deputy Director of the Department of Software Services at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that China's cloud computing industry is still in its infancy. The next step needs to pay more attention to the research and development of planning standards. Ni Guangnan, an academician and cloud computing expert from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, confirmed the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the same day. Research on cloud computing standards has begun. In the previous May, the news that the China Cloud Computing Standard Framework had been confirmed was reported from the workshop, but it was not confirmed by the authorities. In fact, since 2010, cloud computing standards have always been the focus of attention in the industry, because China needs to develop its own cloud computing standards.

First, cloud computing standards will affect national competitiveness. At the national level, cloud computing will have a profound impact on the economy, science, technology, and security generation. Whether or not it has mastered independent standards will affect the country's competitiveness. Premier Wen Jiabao published an article entitled "Several Issues on Science and Technology Work" published in the "Qiushi" magazine published on July 16. The article pointed out that "science and technology are powerful motive forces for economic and social development" and stressed that "there is no technology." Without development, there will be no development in China; the future of science and technology will determine the future of China." As the next revolution in the technology industry, cloud computing brings about fundamental changes in business models and work methods. If there are unique standards in the entire global industrial ecosystem, it will regulate the development of the whole industry in China and promote the international industry. Competitiveness will play a huge role.

Second, the inconsistent cloud computing standards have become the bottleneck of development. Cloud computing has taken root in China. At present, governments at all levels in China have established cloud computing centers, and all parts of the country are advancing corresponding cloud computing plans. However, in this booming construction boom, people gradually find that there is a lack of top-level design for cloud computing development. Problems such as the construction of self-government and the difficulty of coordinating advantages are not in line with the characteristics of cloud computing to maximize the sharing of resources and flexible use. As Sun Huifeng, general manager of CCID Consulting's Industry Research Center, said, "Without standards, it will be difficult for the cloud computing industry to get standardized and healthy development, and it will be difficult to form large-scale and industrial clusters."

Furthermore, mastering the standard to control the right to speak is the only way. "People who get the standard are the best in the world." This has long been repeatedly demonstrated in the field of information technology. Microsoft, Apple, Qualcomm and other giants are good examples. Recently, Apple’s success in accusations against HTC has gradually evolved into a collective panic among mobile device makers of the Android platform. Many domestic companies lack their own core technologies. This kind of “aphasia passive” keeps them in check, and they always dare to face it. The "short board". Therefore, formulating the "China Cloud" standard with independent intellectual property rights and encouraging or even forcing domestic manufacturers to strengthen innovation on this basis is the only way to promote the development of China's new generation of information technology industry.

Finally, grasping opportunities is much more important than solving problems. For companies, in the fierce and fierce market competition, their own problems may not be more than the commandment, and once they do not properly grasp an opportunity, they will often cause themselves to die. At present, foreign companies have many solutions for cloud computing services, but there are not many mature solutions. They have not yet formed a unified technical standard, nor have they experienced a monopoly like Microsoft, which has left a great deal for domestic enterprises. "Self-play" space and rare opportunities for development. More importantly, although Chinese companies do not have the ability to master core technologies on the product side in a short time, service areas can, but cloud computing is essentially a service, so cloud computing is a good opportunity to catch up. Although China's cloud computing is still in its infancy and there are still many problems to be solved, if we can quickly introduce the "China Cloud" standard that suits China's national conditions, it is undoubtedly beneficial for domestic companies to grasp this historic opportunity. Fortunately, the "China Cloud" standard is already on the road.
