Analysis of China’s Cloud Computing Industry: Adhere to Independent Innovation to Help Transform and Upgrade the National Economy
Overview Analysis of the Development of Cloud Computing Industry
Cloud computing is a unified organization and development through the network Flexibly call on various ICT information resources, gather originally scattered ICT resources, and enjoy the use of information processing methods to achieve large-scale computing, so that IT resources gradually become public infrastructure like water, electricity and coal. Cloud computing grid and IT infrastructure have brought huge IT cost savings to the whole society. The Internet of Things is a further expansion of Internet applications. The ultimate goal of the Internet of Things is to realize the connection, information communication and exchange of things 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 are classified into three categories: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
2018 Global Cloud Computing Market Size Analysis and Forecast
Currently, global cloud services are in a period of rapid development. In 2012, the global cloud computing market size exceeded 100 billion yuan. In 2014, the global cloud computing market reached 155.44 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.8%. By 2016, the global cloud computing market exceeded 200 billion yuan, reaching 221.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.5%. As of 2017, the global cloud computing market reached 262.8 billion yuan. As enterprises gradually tend to pursue digital business strategies and traditional IT services transform into cloud services, the global cloud computing market will further grow. It is expected that the global cloud computing market will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2018.

China’s cloud computing market is expected to be in 2020 The scale will exceed 130 billion yuan
According to statistics from the "China Cloud Computing Industry Development Prospects and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report" released by the Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, in terms of the public cloud market, since 2014, China's public cloud market has The cloud market is developing rapidly. From 2014 to 2017, the market size increased by more than 4 times, with a compound annual growth rate of The market size is expected to exceed 60 billion yuan.
In terms of the private cloud market, private clouds are built for the sole use of one customer, thus providing the most effective control over data, security, and quality of service. By building a private cloud computing platform, enterprises can comprehensively adjust resource allocation based on the characteristics of various business application systems. In 2017, China's private cloud market reached 42.98 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.4%. With improvements in security, reliability and maturity, the private cloud market will further grow. It is expected that China's private cloud market will reach 77 billion yuan in 2020.

The future of China's cloud computing industry Development Trend Analysis
“Cloud” is the infrastructure in the digital economy era. "China Cloud" goes overseas to enable better interconnection of data and information. The more important value is to use the cloud platform to support the development of more enterprises. In reality, "China Cloud" plays the role of "supporting two companies with one hand", which can not only help Chinese companies go global better, but also help foreign companies enter the Chinese market, thereby realizing the time and space compression capabilities of the digital economy.
For example, the use of cloud computing can significantly save costs and time, allowing companies to quickly develop overseas business, and the business implementation time has been shortened from the previous measurement of months to the current minute level. In the past 10 years, the threshold for starting a business has been greatly reduced due to cloud computing. DJI, ByteDance and other companies are expanding their overseas business, and China's Internet economic model is going global, which is closely related to the global layout of "China Cloud".
Different from simply selling physical goods such as mobile phones and home appliances, cloud computing involves data integration and security, and it faces more complex challenges when going global. Managing millions of servers requires both large-scale operation and maintenance capabilities and global operation capabilities; facing the different national conditions and cultures of countries around the world, it is necessary to have both a "globalized" structure and a "localized" one. "The vision. In fact, to overcome these challenges and expand the global market, the most important thing is to win trust and be able to use "China Cloud" to create value for local development.
For "China Cloud", whether it is exploring the international market or deeply exploring the domestic market, its core competitiveness is still to adhere to independent innovation and continue to provide efficient digital services through cloud computing and big data, thereby Reduce transaction costs, improve economic efficiency, and inject new momentum into economic development. Looking back on the past, China's big data and cloud computing mainly benefited from the drive of the mobile Internet and the generalization of the mobile APP model. Looking forward to the next 5-10 years, China's big data and cloud computing will be combined with the development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. From the consumer end to the production end and the supply end, through digital services such as "industrial brain", "agricultural brain" and "urban brain", production efficiency and supply quality will be greatly improved, and China's manufacturing will be transformed into China's intelligent manufacturing, factor-driven to innovation-driven. change.
In fact, cloud computing is a bridge for the large-scale application of artificial intelligence in various industries. Improving production efficiency through cloud computing also opens up a huge space for imagination. There is such an intuitive case: In a petrochemical company, cloud computing can achieve precise parameter control at the minute level without adding physical equipment through the analysis of hundreds of parameters of the boiler and industrial intelligence applications, thereby reducing 4 % of energy consumption. This energy consumption reduction model can be gradually extended to more than 3 million boilers of various types in China. This not only reduces energy consumption per unit of GDP, but also helps achieve green development. It can be reasonably expected that artificial intelligence based on big data and cloud computing will serve as a basic service in the future and have a profound impact on the physical world and production methods in the future.
We are at the historical intersection of the development of Internet technology and the new industrial revolution. To seize the opportunity of the historical convergence period, we need to adapt to the general trend of digital economic development and produce "thinking mutations" and "model mutations" that match future development trends. From this perspective, the vigorous development of "China Cloud" can not only help China's economic transformation and upgrading through innovation, but also help China seize future trends and opportunities.
