Cloud computing is an information processing method that organizes and flexibly calls various ICT information resources through the network, centralizes the originally scattered ICT resources, realizes large-scale computing, and gradually makes IT resources become public infrastructure like hydropower and coal. Grid computing and IT infrastructure have brought huge IT cost savings to the whole society. Internet of Things is a further expansion of Internet application, and its ultimate goal is to realize the connection of things, the communication of information and the exchange of use in the whole society.
Cloud computing is divided into public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud according to different deployment methods. According to the different types of resources provided by cloud services, cloud computing service models can be divided into three categories: software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Analysis and Forecast of Global Cloud Computing Market Scale in 20 18
At present, global cloud services are in a period of rapid development. In 20 12 years, the global cloud computing market has exceeded 1000 billion yuan. In 20 14 years, the global cloud computing market reached1554.4 billion yuan, up 16.8% year-on-year. By 20 16, the global cloud computing market will exceed 200 billion yuan, reaching 2.21800 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 25.5%. By the end of 20 17, the global cloud computing market has reached 262.8 billion yuan. As enterprises gradually tend to pursue digital business strategy, traditional IT services are changing to cloud services, and the global cloud computing market scale will further grow. It is estimated that the global cloud computing market will exceed 300 billion yuan in 20 18.

It is estimated that the cloud computing market in China will exceed 654.38+030 billion yuan in 2020.
According to the statistical data of "China Cloud Computing Industry Development Prospect and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report" released by Forward-looking Industry Research Institute, in the public cloud market, since 20 14, the public cloud market in China has developed at a high speed, and the market scale has increased more than four times from 20 14 to 20 17, with a compound annual growth rate of 0.
In the private cloud market, private clouds are specially built for customers' use, so they can provide the most effective control over data, security and service quality. By building a private cloud computing platform, enterprises can comprehensively adjust the allocation of resources according to the characteristics of various business application systems. In 20 17, the private cloud market in China reached 42.98 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.4%. With the improvement of security, reliability and maturity, the scale of private cloud market will further grow. It is estimated that the private cloud market in China will reach 77 billion yuan in 2020.

Analysis on the Future Development Trend of Cloud Computing Industry in China
Cloud is the infrastructure in the era of digital economy. "China Cloud" goes out to sea, which makes data and information better interconnected. The more important value is to support more enterprise development with the cloud platform. In reality, "China Cloud" plays the role of "supporting two companies with one hand", which can not only help China enterprises to go abroad better, but also help foreign enterprises to enter the China market, thus realizing the space-time compression ability of the digital economy.
For example, the use of cloud computing can greatly save costs and time, so that enterprises can quickly carry out overseas business, and the business landing time has been shortened from the previous month to the current minute level. In the past 10 years, due to the emergence of cloud computing, the overall threshold of startups has been greatly reduced. The overseas business expansion of companies such as DJI Technology and ByteDance, and the going out of China's Internet economy model are all closely related to the global layout of "China Cloud".
Unlike simply selling mobile phones, home appliances and other physical objects, cloud computing involves data integration and security, and going out faces more complicated challenges. Managing millions of servers requires both large-scale operation and maintenance capabilities and global operation capabilities; Facing the different national conditions and cultures of all countries in the world, we should not only have a "globalization" pattern, but also have a "localization" vision. In fact, to overcome these challenges and expand the global market, the most important thing is to win the trust with "China Cloud" and create value for local development.
For "China Cloud", whether exploring the international market or deepening the domestic market, its core competitiveness is still to persist in independent innovation and continuously provide efficient digital services through cloud computing and big data, thus reducing transaction costs, improving economic efficiency and injecting new kinetic energy into economic development. Looking back, China's big data and cloud computing mainly benefited from the drive of mobile Internet and the promotion of mobile APP mode. Looking forward to the next 5- 10 years, China's big data and cloud computing will combine the development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, from the consumer end to the production end and the supply end, and through digital services such as "industrial brain", "agricultural brain" and "urban brain", the production efficiency and supply quality will be greatly improved, and China manufacturing will be promoted to China manufacturing.
In fact, cloud computing is a bridge for the large-scale application of artificial intelligence in various industries, and improving production efficiency through cloud computing has also opened up a huge imagination space. There is an intuitive case: a petrochemical enterprise, through the analysis of hundreds of boiler parameters and the application of industrial intelligence, cloud computing can achieve minute-level accurate parameter control without increasing physical equipment, thus reducing energy consumption by 4%. This mode of reducing energy consumption can be gradually extended to more than 3 million boilers of various types in China. This not only reduces the energy consumption per unit GDP, but also helps to achieve green development. It can be reasonably expected that artificial intelligence based on big data and cloud computing will be the basic service in the future and will have a far-reaching impact on the future physical world and production methods.
We are at the historical intersection of the development of Internet technology and the new industrial revolution. To grasp the opportunity of historical intersection, we need to conform to the general trend of digital economy development and produce "thinking mutation" and "mode mutation" that match the future development trend. From this perspective, the vigorous development of "China Cloud" can not only help China's economic transformation and upgrading with innovation, but also promote China to seize future opportunities and opportunities.
