Baidu established Baidu cloud department and released Baidu online disk with good development situation. On Tencent, Mr. Ma also organized executives to hold several meetings on the layout of cloud computing.
But later, due to a series of contradictions and wars with Huizhong and 360, Ma and Tencent executives didn't have the energy to study cloud computing.
Now, Tencent focuses all its energy on "opening to the outside world", and doesn't have much thought and energy to study the layout of cloud computing.
Therefore, in the field of cloud computing, Tencent does not know whether it is a coincidence or fate. It has fallen a large part of Alibaba cloud and Baidu cloud as in previous lives. If you add Huizhong cloud, Tencent's cloud computing business may not even see the tail lights of the other three companies.
After Baidu cloud announced that the total number of registered users of Baidu online disk exceeded 10 million, some large-scale Internet companies in China seemed to see a piece of cake and cake while shocked, and announced their intention to enter cloud computing, especially in the field of private cloud!
Enterprise cloud computing has high investment cost and high technical threshold. Hundreds of millions of funds and top R & D teams are indispensable. Moreover, even if Fang zhe spoke so frankly at the IT summit at the beginning of the year, he still said that he can't understand it for the bosses of most Internet companies! No! Huizhong, go ahead. Don't drag me. I can't afford it!
However, the private cloud is different. The CEOs of Internet companies who are used to the scale of users feel that this is a huge cake when they learn that Baidu online disk has won 10 million users in only one and a half months. If their company misses it, they will regret it in the future!
Therefore, from 360 to Sina, from Netease to Sohu, from Huawei to Suning, any Internet company with a little strength, whether it is a pure Internet company or not, can touch the edge, as if it were crazy, manly layout the private cloud field one by one.
In particular, at the "Baidu World Conference" in which Baidu released Baidu online disk, President Li said: "I expect that there should be 200 to 300 million domestic users of private cloud in the next few years, and nearly 1 billion global users. On the whole, the scale of the global private cloud market should be more than 100 billion US dollars!"
President Li's heroic words of "foresight" not only made many Internet leaders, including President 360, jealous, but also made them firm their determination to enter the private cloud field!
Fang Zhe, the culprit of all this, just smiled "innocently" about the layout and heroic words of Baidu and Internet companies in the private cloud field!
Fang Zhe's smile is a bit treacherous and innocent. His remarks on cloud computing at the IT summit only mentioned enterprise cloud services and did not say anything about private clouds, because Fang zhe knows that private cloud services are "Tiankeng", or private clouds made by Baidu cloud and other companies like 360 Huawei, It's a losing business!
In previous lives, private cloud services, led by Baidu online disk, supplemented by 360 cloud disk, Huawei cloud disk and so on, are very popular in China. I don't know how many Internet users have opened dozens of G, hundreds of G and even a few t personal cloud disks in this and that home, but?
More and more later, the scale of registered users is larger and larger, and more and more user data is stored on the online disk. However, we found that this special personal cloud disk business is to lose money at all and make no money!
Although many users have registered online disk and cloud disk, the data files stored by each user are poor on average. The cloud disk service provider provides users with storage space of up to several gigabytes, tens of gigabytes or even tons, and only a few users can use the upper limit.
This is doomed that the cloud disk service provider's original calculation of capacity expansion and price increase can't be used several times at all, and other services such as the growth of upload and download speed have become weak because users use the cloud disk at low frequency!
Therefore, until Fang zhe was reborn, all large and small Internet companies that followed the trend and entered the private cloud field continued to close their own cloud disk services, leaving only the rich Baidu cloud disk to die!
It's as like as two peas, who are spending money on the money, but this is what Fang zhe sees. Baidu SkyDrive and SkyDrive follow suit.
"The private cloud field is not without opportunities, but Baidu cloud and a bunch of companies following the trend have gone the wrong way!" this sentence is that Fang zhe saw that domestic Internet companies, large and small, scrambled to enter the private cloud field after Baidu released the news that Baidu online disk users exceeded 10 million. Fang Zhe and Huizhong's Li Wenbin and other executives in charge of cloud computing business, What you said in a separate meeting!
"The profit soil of private cloud is in commercial office, overseas and domestic. If you want to do it, you still need to slowly cultivate users' payment habits!" Fang Zhe's words are deeply printed in the mind of Li Wenbin, head of the cloud computing department. Huizhong does not have much layout in the field of private cloud. There are only two mobile Internet products that provide cloud services. One is a mobile cloud synchronization assistant, One is cloud notes!
The former is used to synchronously store and restore users' data files on their mobile phones, which is a bit similar to Baidu cloud. However, this product is only for mobile phone users and does not provide computer-based service support. Another cloud note is even simpler. It is just a pediatric product, nothing more than a laptop saved by users in the cloud, which can be edited and used anytime, anywhere.
For the further development of Huizhong in the private cloud field in the future, Fang zhe has already had a clear route in his mind, that is, Microsoft Office cloud office route.
However, now Huizhong has just shown its greatness in the world, and office is one of Microsoft's core products. Fang zhe doesn't want to compete directly with Microsoft because of this business. In that way, even with the protection of apple and other top overseas capital, Huizhong will inevitably be in a lot of trouble by Microsoft, which dominates the world!
Therefore, at this stage, Huizhong's layout in the field of Cloud Computing mainly focuses on enterprise cloud services, and Fang Zhe's large amount of $1 billion has also been hit on it.
The first is to build five large cloud computing data centers around the world. The second is to launch differentiated competition with Internet companies providing enterprise cloud services such as Amazon, Microsoft and IBM by subsidizing and supporting small and medium-sized Internet companies and game companies!
Nowadays, there is a scuffle in the global enterprise cloud service field, and each company has its own focus and main selling points. Therefore, as long as Huizhong cloud opens differentiation with them, it doesn't have to worry about these world-class giants. Huizhong will find all kinds of trouble because of the relationship between Huizhong cloud.
Although Fang zhe knows that there must be some trouble, as long as he doesn't directly touch the core interests of these giants like office cloud office, Fang Zhe and Huizhong, who have gradually grown up, are not afraid to break their wrists with these giants!
On November 25, Beijing time and November 26, us time, Huizhong cloud, which has dominated the domestic cloud computing field with Alibaba cloud and gained great fame in the global cloud computing field, held two "Huizhong cloud computing conferences" for potential users and partners of Huizhong cloud at Yanjing conference center and Los Angeles science and technology conference center respectively!
