"as long as there is a network, cloud computers can be plugged and played regardless of the size of the enterprise. at present, some users in domestic education, manufacturing and other industries are already using cloud computer services." Tan Ting, chairman of Yun Tingyun Computing Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tian Ting Company), told reporters. Now, not only corporate users can use Tian Tingyun computer service, but also individual users can enjoy the convenience of cloud computer service. Starting from July this year, individual users in Shanghai can apply for cloud computer services through the local telecom business hall. Users can have their own computing, storage and other resources as long as they log on to the relevant page at home and enter their user name and password, and can play games or watch videos online.

Bandwidth is no longer a limit

Many enterprise users, even some individual users, are no stranger to VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure). Desktop virtualization software vendors such as VMware, Citrix, Microsoft and a large number of desktop terminal vendors can provide VDI solutions. Enterprise users can build a set of desktop virtualization applications by purchasing desktop virtualization software and terminal devices respectively. This requires that enterprises must have certain technical capabilities, but also need a large amount of upfront capital investment. "the average cost of a VDI solution provided by a well-known foreign manufacturer is 30, 000-50, 000 yuan per node, while the equipment cost of Tian Tingyun computer is 1, 200, 800 yuan, plus the later cloud service cost, the cost of a node is only about 5000 yuan." A technician of Tian Ting Company told the reporter, "there are already applications of cloud computers abroad, but in terms of price, the price of Tian Ting Yun computer is only half or even 1/4 of the same foreign products."

Tian Ting is the first manufacturer in China to launch cloud computer services. Tian Tingyun computer is not the same as VDI solution, but combines the advantages of desktop as a service, CHP technology and cloud terminal.

Tian Ting's cloud terminal is light and small, the size of a human hand, white, green, black, orange and other colors, and can be customized according to the application environment. The shell of the Tian Tingyun terminal is made of non-metallic material, but its firmness can stand the test. Tan Tianting said: "after practical testing, even if an adult stands on top of our cloud, the product will not be damaged." In addition, the heat dissipation effect of Tian Tingyun terminal is very good, its power consumption is only 3W, while the power consumption of an ordinary lamp is 2W. The reporter touched the Tian Tingyun terminal in the experience area. although it has been running for several hours, the cloud terminal itself is only slightly hot, and its temperature is not as high as that of the home router.

At the site of Tian Tingyun's computer press conference, the reporter posted a Weibo, and someone immediately commented: "We have adopted desktop virtualization technology, but it is only used in the private cloud environment of enterprises. Although I have not personally experienced Tian Tingyun's computer service, apart from usage habits and data security issues, if the desktop service uses public cloud, network speed may be the biggest obstacle." Network bandwidth and cost are the biggest obstacles to the landing of public clouds in China. The reporter especially stopped in the design and application experience area, the video experience area and the game experience area of the Tian Tingyun computer, and personally operated, feeling that the video playback was smooth, and there was no obvious delay in the application of some design software, which was no different from the reporter's usual experience on PC. "due to the use of our original CHP technology, users can have a smooth audio and video playback and game interaction experience even under the condition of 2MB bandwidth," explained Tan Tianting. "CHP technology solves the problem of limited bandwidth, so that families and individual users can use Tian Tingyun computer services without barriers."

Tan Tianting said: "the main reason why some manufacturers cannot provide cloud computer services is that they do not have CHP technology. CHP technology can effectively achieve the interaction between data centers and cloud computers, with high security, high-definition experience, low-bandwidth connection, support for 2D/3D image display and other functions, can comprehensively optimize the performance of the system and reduce the need for bandwidth."

From selling products to selling services

Bi Zhaoyi, head of the Technology Department of Qingdao Software Park Development Co., Ltd., once worked in a semiconductor manufacturing company. "companies like semiconductor manufacturers that have high requirements for data transmission and security are unlikely to adopt the cloud computer service model at this stage," he said. in addition, if some R & D enterprises want to adopt cloud computer services, they must solve the details such as LAN setup, × ×, dual-screen applications and so on. for individual users, price may be the key to the popularity of cloud computer services. "

According to the reporter, some domestic energy enterprises, call centers, schools, government agencies and so on are using Tian Ting's cloud computer service. For example, Shanghai Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd., which specializes in producing and operating LCD monitors and LCD modules, has replaced the original VDI solution of a foreign manufacturer with Tian Tingyun computer. Jin Longsheng, manager of the IT department of Shanghai Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd., said: "the biggest advantage of using Tian Tingyun computer is that the deployment, application and update of the system have become very simple. In addition, the high-performance CHP protocol well meets the application needs of Pro E and AutoCAD software."

For both enterprises and individuals, after using Tian Tingyun computer service, there is no need to build a complex desktop virtualization system, just determine the amount of resources required according to the application requirements, such as how many CPU, how much storage space, etc., and then pay to activate it. This ready-to-use mode of use may have an impact on the original purchase and use habits of IT equipment in enterprises. The traditional product purchasing mode of enterprises may gradually become the payment of service fees in the future, which is also the biggest change brought about by cloud computing.

In June this year, Capgemini Consulting, a management consulting and technical services company, established a "ACE Cloud experience Center" with Shanghai Bell Enterprise Communications in China. Han Jun, general manager of Capgemini's new technology business in China, said: "We will incorporate Tian Tingyun computer into our cloud service platform." within this year, we will work with Tian Ting to provide cloud computer services for small and medium-sized enterprises. "

"We have carried out in-depth cooperation with China Telecom and China Unicom. Cloud computer services will be piloted in Shanghai in July and preliminary consideration will be given to offering them to users in the form of packages, such as dual-core CPU, 300GB hard drives and 4GB memory configurations, for example, the monthly rental fee is about 150 yuan," Guan said. Tian Ting's existing data center can support 100000 users using cloud computers at the same time. In order to expand its cloud computer services, Tian Ting also plans to build 10 more data centers within three years.

Find the "killer" app.

At a time when many large enterprises are building their own private cloud environment, public cloud services targeting small and medium-sized enterprises and individual users are also on the rise in China. For example, many storage manufacturers and Internet enterprises have launched cloud storage services one after another. At this stage, in the Chinese market, the construction of various types of cloud data centers is still relatively enthusiastic, and cloud applications can not match the development of cloud data centers in terms of quantity and user acceptance.

Yin Jian, general manager of Nissan East soft Information Technology Co., Ltd., which specializes in cloud services, said: "finding a 'killer' application that is not only suitable for cloud computing, but also generally accepted by users is crucial to the development of cloud services." Tian Tingyun computer has realized the dual innovation of technology and business model.

Although some people take a wait-and-see attitude towards the business future of the cloud computer service model, Tian Ting has taken the first step. Next, Tian Ting may encounter the common problems faced by many public cloud service providers, such as whether they can provide users with a better application experience, whether users are satisfied with the level and price of the service, and how to deal with the impact of cloud service model on the enterprise's traditional procurement and usage model.
