[Micro-report] Cloud Computing: Pick it up hard and put it down gently
For cloud computing, users' awareness and expectations far exceed expectations. This is the result of a survey titled "Cognition of Cloud Computing" jointly held by China Software Network and Haibi Research.
In the second phase of the survey with the theme "Cloud Computing Demand and Choice", 35% of enterprise users have already adopted cloud computing, exceeding the 30% who do not plan to adopt it.
However, at the same time, users are not very willing to migrate key enterprise applications to the cloud, indicating that users are cautious about the "implementation" of cloud computing.
Comparing the two surveys, we can find that users are full of expectations for cloud computing, but they are relatively conservative about cloud computing applications. It can be said that enterprises "pick up heavily and put down gently" towards cloud computing.
More than 35% of enterprises have adopted cloud computing tool applications and will give priority to cloud computing
In the past, there was a relatively consistent view in the industry that the proportion of enterprises adopting cloud computing was not high, especially large enterprises were more cautious about placing key applications on the cloud.
So what is the actual situation?
According to the survey, the number of enterprises that have adopted and are considering adopting IaaS cloud services has reached 35%, exceeding those that do not plan to adopt cloud services. 30% of the enterprise.
This shows that after several years of cultivation, the cloud computing market is maturing, the number of companies using cloud computing is gradually increasing, and future development can be expected.
But it also shows that attention should be paid to cultivating best practice cases of cloud computing, solving users' various concerns about cloud computing, and winning more users.
Which types of applications will enterprise users prioritize deploying on the cloud? Survey results show that 47% of enterprises are willing to deploy tool applications such as email on the cloud; 42 % of enterprise users choose to deploy data services on the cloud. Data services include database backup, recovery, migration, and data cloud backup. Unexpectedly, 40% of enterprise users are more willing to consider deploying the enterprise's core business systems. Such as ERP etc. deployed on the cloud.
It is conceivable that if the core business system of an enterprise is moved to the cloud, then the comprehensive promotion of cloud computing in the enterprise will not be a problem.
Performance has become the most important factor for users to choose cloud services
What do users value most when choosing cloud services? becauseElement?
The survey shows that the factor that users value most is performance.
In fact, the true definition of performance includes two aspects: Performance + StaBIlity. The performance that users care about is "actual performance" rather than bare metal performance.
The performance of cloud computing is the sum of network performance, application performance and cloud computing infrastructure performance.
Users pay attention to the performance of cloud computing because they pay attention to the actual operating efficiency of applications and services, which is the most fundamental decisive factor.
Secondly, the most important factor for enterprise users is security, which is directly related to the result of our first cloud computing survey that "most users believe that current cloud computing is unsafe."
Improving security is a direction that cloud service providers should strive for.
The third ranked factor is price. After all, high cost performance is a goal pursued by users in any era.
Similarly, for security reasons, enterprise users, especially large enterprise users, will deploy different enterprise applications on clouds that should not be operated by operators.
The survey shows that users have no particular preference for cloud service providers that focus on one point and cloud service providers that provide large and comprehensive services. The proportion of the two is basically the same.
BAT and Huawei were I think it will stand out and become a first-tier manufacturer
IaaS cloud computing has promising development prospects. Manufacturers in different fields are optimistic about this field. Investments continue to grow, mergers occur from time to time, and price wars intensify.< /p>
So, which IaaS vendors will stand out and become first-tier vendors in the cloud era?
The survey results show that the top three cloud service providers that are most favored by users are BAT companies Monopoly, Alibaba Cloud occupies the first place in the BAT camp
BAT’s market influence, technical strength, service capabilities, capital advantages and development momentum are all favored by enterprise users.
In the field of traditional software and hardware enterprises entering the cloud computing camp, Huawei is leading the way, far surpassing foreign IBM and Oracle.
The impact of cloud services launched by telecom operators is indiscriminate. They are comparable, but compared to other types of cloud service providers, the advantages are not obvious
Foreign cloud services Among businesses, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon AWS have equal influence, with Microsoft Azure slightly ahead. This is directly related to Microsoft's more than 30 years of deep penetration in the Chinese market.
Among the emerging cloud service providers, Qingyun. The influence of cloud service providers cannot be underestimated.
The influence of cloud service providers in data center transformation is decreasing.
It can be seen from the two surveys that cloud The development prospects of computing are promising, but it is not attractive enough to users. After all, ensuring the stable operation of business systems is the key. This is a huge opportunity for enterprises operating in the field of cloud computing, but it also faces huge challenges. .
