Cloud Computing – big deal, buzz, bubble ?
November, 2007, in Shanghai, IBM unveiled plans for “Blue Cloud”.
Feb 2008, IBM’s first Cloud Computing Center for software companies in China will be situated at the new Wuxi Tai Hu New Town Science and Education Industrial Park in Wuxi, China
May 2008, Wuxi Cloud Computing Center celebrated its opening ceremony
October, 2008, Microsoft unveiled its cloud computing platform, dubbed Windows Azure.

What is Cloud Computing Technology
IBM - HiPODS
z The cloud is a next generation platform that provides dynamic resource pools, virtualization, and high availability.
z Cloud computing describes both a platform and a type of
application.
z A cloud computing platform dynamically provisions, configures, reconfigures, and deprovisions servers as needed.
z Cloud applications are applications that are extended to be
accessible through the Internet. These cloud applications use large data centers and powerful servers that host Web applications and

Why we need Cloud Computing
Energy cost are increasing: Power and cooling are expensive.
Today, it costs far more to run computers than it does to buy them in the first place. This is about economics and engineering: improve the utilization
¾ CPU utility is about 15% - 20%
IT system are more complex and interdependent: The
administration costs are more than the costs of IT system itself in the whole life cycle : automation
IT budget increasing rate is much lower than IT demand increasing rate
¾ IT budget increasing rate is about 5% - 9% CAGR
¾ CPU demand 11% CAGR, Storage demand 22% CAGR, bandwidth: 50% CGAR
Why we need Cloud Computing
Global Access: get service, configure and provision IT infrastructure
PaaS : Platform As A Service ¾ No or low entry cost
¾ Pay As You Go platform service Dynamic environment
¾ Market and business changes requires IT system react rapidly
The Value Propositions of Cloud Computing
Improve the utilization of the system ¾ Consolidation
¾ Share the system: resource pools, load balancing ¾ Dynamically allocate resources
Automatic configuration, provision, and management ¾ Reduce Labor and management costs
¾ Easy and simple management Low entry cost
The Value Propositions of Cloud Computing
Improve IT agility : Quick lunch services Flexibility: adaptable to business changes Scalability
High Availability
Cloud Computing is Real, big thing. It needs time to mature. A lot of things going on.
OSS Future: How Experts Tell Us
Gartner 2007
：
By 2010, 75 percent of open-source software will be deployed on newly created (instead of "rip and replace") IT systems (0.8
probability).
By 2010, OSS solutions will directly compete with closed source products in all software infrastructure and workplace application markets (0.8 probability).
By 2010, at least 40 percent of mainstream IT organizations will include OSS in their workplace-focused software investments (0.7 probability).
OSS Trends: From Foundations to Applications
General acceptance of infrastructure and networking OSS Number and maturity of open-source applications growing Open-source applications included in conventional products
Rich Internet Application technology improves acceptance of open source as a service
Open-source product support from service providers
Open-source development principles adopted by software vendors
OSS software can solve our real problems now. It is a great
opportunity for innovative IT companies to deliver values to
customers by OSS products, or by providing services based
on OSS, or by adding values on top of OSS products and
services

What OSS Brings To China
Leverage the Chinese software companies’ technical capability to a level matches to global software companies
China is an emerging markets, IT market is dominated by global software companies
Local venders can not compete with global companies because of technical barrier
Relative small market, piracy issue in China, and existing products and services from global companies, squeeze local vendors to only succeed in non main stream markets
OSS makes the software source codes open to everyone, including the vendors in China, eliminating the technical barrier for Chinese local software vendors
What OSS Brings To China
Leverage the Chinese software companies’ technical capability to a level matches to global software companies
By studying the existing OSS projects, local Chinese software companies can, instead of inventing the wheel, not only master the technologies, but also develop new and advanced products and services based on these existing OSS projects.
It is quite possible that China software industry can have a big and quick advance based on OSS and therefore, for the first time in the history, compete neck to neck, head to head with global companies
What OSS Brings To China
Open the potential huge markets
Traditional business model high TCO prevents many Chinese companies, including large enterprise, adopting many IT
technologies simple because the solutions are not cost-effective considering labor costs are low in China and the margins of many Chinese companies are small. This also happens for many SMB in many developed counties. Many IT solutions are not accessible for SMB simple they are just too expensive The low cost OSS based solutions will be cost effective for
many SMB in developed countries as well as many companies in China. This will make Chinese IT market soon become the largest IT market in the world. There are over 30 m SMB in china
What OSS Brings To China
People make difference
Once overcoming the technical barrier, with hug talent pool, the local companies in China will make high
quality software for domestic and possible global
market in the future and yet the cost will be so low that now we can not image how much low they can be.
Bad becomes not so bad and good becomes better
Piracy issue: with the OSS and SaaS, piracy will become a minor issue since OSS opens the source code, and SaaS does not
distribute the software at all.
Many revenues come from service in the future, and it is always true that local vendors will provide better services to the local
customers, so is China. The local vendors in China will have
relatively competitive advantages over global vendors at least in China domestical IT market
What OSS Brings To China
OSS will give the great opportunities, which includes technology, market, competitive advantages, for the local vendors in
China. China’s rising in IT will not only greatly impact China domestical IT market but also global IT market in the future, just as same as China manufacture industry does today.
New Business Model: Cloud Computing + OSS +
SaaS + China
Huge IT market in China, esp for SME IT market China local vendors understand IT market in China No or low entry costs for SaaS service providers to lunch IT services
¾ Software is free or low cost
¾ Platform is based on Cloud Computing, very low entry cost
Professional supports and upgrade services
Easy build values on top of current OSS applications Low software licensing costs
