Why Enterprises Build Their Own Private Cloud
Why should enterprises build their own private cloud? In the view of Wen Xinrong, deputy general manager of the information department of Aluminum Corporation of China Limited, there are four main reasons. First, the government does not have the relevant laws and regulations to operate the "cloud". Group companies generally have obvious competitors and important data and other information that needs to be kept confidential, if the public cloud, data problems can not be held accountable, unlike the power supply, water supply, the government has a lot of regulations; Secondly, the "cloud" operators billing standards are not uniform, traffic billing varies greatly. Group companies need independent dedicated line, who will bear the cost of no standard, unlike power supply, water supply so standardized. Third, at present, the number of operators that have the ability to provide "cloud" services to group enterprises is not large. Fourth, once the replacement of cloud service providers, data migration is a big problem (data standards, group enterprise data volume is generally very large, etc.). CIO to choose the time savings brought by cloud computing in Intel and ITValue jointly initiated a discussion of cloud computing, a once within the company deployed a cloud computing application platform CIO said that, compared with the deployment of non-cloud computing platform, hardware, software installation and system testing and other work can save 10% -15% of the project time, through real-time online Webtraining, the application system training time can save 10%-15% of the training time, and the maintenance of the later system does not need to have a person to manage, can save 5%-10% of the system management time. The difference between cloud computing and IT outsourcing Cloud computing and IT outsourcing both claim to save IT costs, but in the view of Ai Jun, secretary general of the Information Technology Leading Group of China Huarong Asset Management Company, there is a big difference between the two. For example, many enterprise and government computing centers do not have disaster recovery capability per se, which is standard in the cloud. As a result, the cloud does not have to pay a one-time physical environment construction costs and incremental maintenance costs, but rather breaks them down into annual costs, which is cost-effective for the enterprise. In the case of current outsourcing, many situations are buying labor, the solution is only "replacement", not to improve efficiency.
