Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 370 Private Cloud is a Pit

Baidu established the Baidu Cloud Department and released the Baidu Netdisk, which is well developed. On the Tencent side, Mr. Ma originally organized several meetings on the layout of cloud computing.

But later, due to a series of contradictions and battles with Huizhong and 360, Mr. Ma and Tencent executives did not have the energy to study cloud computing, which is still not clear.

Now, all of Tencent's energy is on "opening up to the outside world", and there is not much thought and energy to study the deployment of cloud computing.

Therefore, in the cloud computing field, Tencent does not know whether it is a coincidence or a fate. It has fallen behind Alibaba Cloud and Baidu Cloud as much as in the previous life. If we add Huizhong Cloud and Tencent's cloud computing business, which is now in full swing, I'm afraid I can't even see the taillights of the other three cars.

After Baidu Cloud announced that the total number of registered users of Baidu Netdisk exceeded 10 million, some large-scale Internet companies across the country were shocked, but at the same time they seemed to see a piece of sweet and pastry, and they all joined in and announced their intention to enter the cloud. Computing, especially in the field of private clouds!

Enterprise cloud computing has high investment costs, high technical thresholds, hundreds of millions of funds and top R&D teams. Moreover, even Fang Zhe said so straightforwardly at the IT summit at the beginning of the year, which is very important to most Internet companies. The bosses still said that they don’t understand!Not optimistic!Huizhong, you do it, don’t drag me, I can’t afford it!

But the private cloud is different. The CEOs of Internet companies who are used to the scale of users, after learning that Baidu Netdisk has won 10 million users in just one and a half months, they all feel that this is a huge cake. If their company missed it. , Then the future will inevitably regret it!

Therefore, from 360 to Sina, from Netease to Sohu, from Huawei to Suning, any Internet company with a bit of strength, whether it is a pure Internet company or not, anyway, can touch a side, it seems like crazy. One by one, arrogantly deploying private cloud domains.

Especially at the "Baidu World Conference" where Baidu released the Baidu network disk, Mr. Li said: "I predict that in the next few years, there should be 200 to 300 million private cloud users in China, and nearly 1 billion users worldwide. Overall, the global private cloud market should be more than 100 billion U.S. dollars!"

Mr. Li's bold rhetoric of "being far-sighted" has made many Internet bigwigs jealous, including Mr. 360 Zhou, but also made them firm in their determination to enter the private cloud field!

And Fang Zhe, the culprit who triggered all this, just smiled "innocently" about Baidu and various Internet companies' layout and rhetoric in the private cloud field!

Fang Zhe’s smile was a bit treacherous and a bit innocent. His remarks on cloud computing at the IT summit only mentioned enterprise cloud services, but did not say anything about private clouds, because Fang Zhe knew that private Cloud service is just a "sinkhole", or the private cloud created by Baidu Cloud and other companies like 360 ​​Huawei, which are following the trend, are all pits and a loss of business!

In previous lives, private cloud services supplemented by Baidu Netdisk, 360 Cloud Disk, Huawei Cloud Disk, etc., although they are very popular in China, the whole country does not know how many netizens have opened dozens of G, hundreds of G or even a few. A personal cloud disk of T, but what?

In the future, the scale of registered users is getting larger and larger, and more and more user data are stored on the cloud disk, but everyone only discovered that this special personal cloud disk business is simply losing money and making money!

Although many users have registered for cloud disks, the data files stored by each user are poor on average. Cloud disk service providers provide users with up to a few gigabytes, tens of gigabytes or even a few terabytes. Only a few users can use the upper limit of the storage space.

This is doomed to the cloud disk service provider’s original calculation of expanding the capacity and increasing the price to make money. It doesn’t take a few times at all, and other services such as upload and download speed increase are also a bit tasteless due to the low frequency of users using cloud disks. !

For this reason, until Fang Zhe’s rebirth, all Internet companies, large and small, that entered the private cloud field in a lively fashion at the beginning, have successively closed their own cloud disk services, leaving only the wealthy Baidu cloud disk still in existence. Stubbornly succumbed to the death of competitors!

After spending a huge amount of money, I was losing money and earning screams. This is what Fang Zhe saw. Baidu's online disk and various online disks following the trend will end up exactly the same as the previous life in the future!

"The private cloud field is not without opportunities. It's just that Baidu Cloud and a bunch of companies that follow suit have gone the wrong way!" This sentence is when Fang Zhe saw domestic Internet companies large and small and released Baidu online disk users on Baidu. After breaking 10 million, when rushing to enter the private cloud field news, Fang Zhe and Huizhong Li Wenbin, who is in charge of cloud computing business, had a separate meeting and said!

"The profitable soil of private cloud, in commercial offices, overseas, domestically, if you want to do it, you need to slowly cultivate the user's paying habit!" Fang Zhe's words were deeply imprinted by Li Wenbin, the head of the cloud computing department In my mind, Huizhong does not have much layout in the private cloud field. There are only two mobile Internet products that provide cloud services, one is a mobile phone cloud synchronization assistant, and the other is a cloud note!

The former is used to synchronously store and restore the user’s data files on the mobile phone, which is similar to Baidu Cloud, except that this product is only for mobile phone users and does not provide computer-side service support. The other cloud notes is even simpler. , Is just a pediatric product, nothing more than a notebook saved by the user in the cloud, which can be edited and used anytime, anywhere.

For Huizhong's future development in the private cloud field, Fang Zhe has a clear route in his mind, that is, the Microsoft office cloud office route.

It’s just that Huizhong has just made its global debut, and office is one of Microsoft’s core products. Fang Zhe doesn’t want to directly compete with the giant Microsoft because of this business, even if there are Apple and other top overseas products. For the protection of capital, Huizhong will inevitably have to be troubled by Microsoft, which dominates the world!

Therefore, at this stage, Huizhong's layout in the field of cloud computing is mainly placed on enterprise cloud services, and Fang Zhe's 1 billion US dollars has also been hit on this.

The first is to build five large cloud computing data centers around the world. The second is to use subsidies and support for small and medium Internet companies, game companies, etc., to compete globally with Internet companies that provide enterprise cloud services such as Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM. !

Nowadays, the global enterprise cloud service field is in a mess, and each company has its own focus and main selling point. Therefore, as long as Huizhong Cloud differentiates with them, there is no need to worry too much about these world-class giants, because Huizhong The relationship with the cloud caused all kinds of trouble for Huizhong.

Although Fang Zhe knows that there must be trouble, as long as he doesn't directly touch the core interests of these giants like doing office cloud office, Fang Zhe and the growing Huizhong are not afraid to break their hands with these giants!

On November 25th, Beijing time and November 26th, US time, for two consecutive days, Huizhong Cloud, which has already dominated the domestic cloud computing field with Alibaba Cloud, and has gained fame in the global cloud computing field, is located in the Yanjing Convention Center and Los Angeles. The Science and Technology Conference Center held two "Huizhong Cloud Computing Conferences" for potential users and partners of Forex Zhongyun both domestically and overseas!
