Cloud market Qixiong fights Jingdong can become a dark horse
The huge market opportunities in the cloud computing market have attracted many vendors, including Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Cloud Cloud, Tencent Cloud, etc., to speed up the layout. The industry believes that from the current market situation, 2018 is the number of public cloud giants. To speed up the staking of the market in the year, who will perform fast and well in this process, whoever will be able to take advantage of the competition in the future.
The research data of Gartner, an international IT research and consulting firm, shows that in the global cloud computing regional distribution, developed countries such as Europe and the United States have dominated the cloud service market, of which the United States and Western Europe accounted for 50% and 23.5% of the global market, respectively. Share. Although the share of the Chinese market is only 4%, it has been rising rapidly in recent years.

Ding Changyan believes that in the Chinese market, whether it is Amazon, AWS or Microsoft, these international giants are restricted by geographical and market characteristics, and it is not easy to achieve very good results. For Chinese companies, if only in the Chinese market, The competition in the public cloud market will undoubtedly intensify the degree of competition in the entire market, and it is not a wise move. Going to the international market is the best choice. 'In the giant Chinese market, there is a growing pressure on the survival of small businesses. In particular, under the circumstance that these giants have increased investment, the already fiercely competitive market will become even more intense. 'Underworld martial arts, only fast is not broken', who can run faster in 2018, who will be able to occupy market opportunities? . '
