In the early days of cloud computing, market competition was multi-polarized

According to data from market research firm IDC, the global cloud computing infrastructure in 2015 reached US$33.4 billion, accounting for about one-third of total IT spending. Cloud computing has now become an important area for major global IT vendors to compete for.


When "cloud computing" first emerged, it attracted many companies to participate in the "cultivating" cloud computing market. For example, IBM, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc., these giants have been exploring their own path to the cloud. In March of this year, Amazon released the first decade of cloud computing. Google ushered in big customers such as Apple and Disney. Microsoft also With the "cloud computing first, Windows second" attitude, competition has never stopped.

For China, in the past five years, the development of cloud computing has started from the concept of speculation into practical work, various funds and innovative technologies have poured in, and has formed a fixed competitive landscape. Emergence of cloud computing giants such as Ali, Tencent, Baidu, and NetEase emerged. As far as the current situation at home and abroad is concerned, the cloud computing market landscape in the future is likely to be “multipolar”.

In this cloud computing wars, the tactics used by various service providers are identical to those of ordinary mobile phone users: price cuts, commitment capabilities, and freedom of transition. In March of this year, Tencent refreshed the brand LOGO externally, launched "Cloud + CDN", "Blackstone - Hybrid Cloud Plus" and other upgraded products, and also launched the "sea" program. In April, with the opportunity of Intel's new cloud computing conference, Baidu Cloud and Ali announced their strategic cooperation with them to jointly advance the cloud market. Huawei Cloud, Netease Cloud, and Kingsoft Cloud also increased their movements in 2016.

In general, although the scale of the domestic cloud market is different from that of foreign countries, the competition is even more complicated. Foreign cloud giants are actively providing relevant cloud computing services to Chinese companies and entrepreneurs. The domestic giants Ali, Tencent and Baidu have begun to form their own ecosystem. In contrast, the trend of “multipolarization” in the domestic cloud market competition is even more pronounced.


The cloud computing market is fiercely competitive, and companies competing for cloud markets are looking at potential business value. After witnessing the Amazon Amazon's strong profitability, the cloud market is more firmly established to compete for a glass of oysters. Regarding the development of cloud computing in China, is it not? Although in the initial stage, major companies compete constantly. On the one hand, they use price warfare, function warfare and other means to enhance their competitiveness. On the other hand, they provide free transference between each other to gain more customers and allow consumers to have choices. Accept the cloud. Only the growing consumer groups can promote the fair and fair competition among enterprises and promote the development of the cloud computing industry.
