What is the competitive advantage of ali yun, who continues to take over the branded market at the enterprise level? On 15 june, this question was answered at the yunmong summit, where president hu xiaoming focused on three of the most powerful tools for tapping the enterprise-level market: comprehensiveCloud computingInternet intermediate at enterprise levelLarge data platformPlus。
“in the next three years, more than 40 per cent of chinese enterprises will operate using cloud computing.” managing director hu xiaoming said that businesses, governments and institutions had passed the cognitive stage of cloud computing, which was thinking about how to deploy faster and better. In response, aliyun has prepared and put into practice an open-ended service programme。

Apsara stack: building a proprietary aliyun service
The need to embrace cloud computing, but also to consider the localization of data and security compliance, is at the heart of many organizations and businesses. Aliyun provides a comprehensive cloud computing service that includes routine public clouds, apsara stack and mixed clouds constructed in many ways. This is currently the case for a small number of fully serviced cloud computing companies worldwide, such as apsara stack, which is the first full-fledged cloud service in the world, and the same products from aws and azure have not yet been officially launched。
According to hu, either the monolithic or mixed cloud is an extension of public cloud computing. Based on the aliyun public cloud platform, which has been validated by large-scale market services, apsara stack has made a second optimization of the enterprise market, allowing for the consolidation of hardware resources at the enterprise level at the system level and the significant integration of resources, while meeting the security compliance and reliability requirements of the government market。
This means that the hybrid cloud service of the “unique cloud plus public cloud” that allows business users to experience consistent experience can give the local data centre the capacity of the aliyun cloud-like cloud architecture, while also providing seamless access to the elastic expansion of the public cloud without taking into account differences in the software architecture. With constant resources, computing capacity has increased hundreds of times。
At present, a new generation of it systems has been established by the general customs administration, the zhejiang government service network, yunhuizhou, and china-china petrochemicals, among other large government clients, using apsara stack。
Aliyun internet intermediate: copying the corporate internet architecture in ali baba
“just clouding the system is not enough”. Hu ming said that it was crucial to restructure business structures in cloud computing environments to address the uncertainty challenges posed by the internet。
Traditional it structures are often designed to fix processes and reuse software for automation. As a result, a project has a vertical structure that breaks apart from each other, leading to the emergence of resource and application islands and data islands. It is almost impossible to adapt to the needs of the internet age。
At the beginning of the internet operation, ali baba faced similar challenges. After having experienced the use of cloud structures to meet global peak challenges such as the twin 11s and of enterprise-level internet structures to respond to the huge demand for innovation in business. Ali baba has accumulated a great deal of theoretical and practical innovation: atomizing core competencies and abstract encapsulating them to address uncertainties from demand, user size, innovation, data, etc. “the more than 20,000 service application centres within aribaba have been able to provide abstract, real-time access to data, and new innovations are based on these capabilities and data quickly realized.” zhao jiehui, senior architect of aliyun。
The now highly tested aliyun internet intermediary is also open to the outside world to help enterprises integrate resources, structure-sharing and data-sharing. With this structure, china's first industrial electrician's web site, “alternatives”, was built, with only three months of project preparation to go online. It was able to handle 200-30 billion calls, 2 trillion business calls, and manage 4,000 linear extensions and condensations。
At present, there are more than 30 large and medium-sized government agencies and business groups in the country that have adopted the aliyun internet intermediate, which has truly brought the implementation of the “internet+” strategy to the ground。
Number plus: large data capacity for the 10 years of aribaba
The notion that “data are the production data of the dt era” has become a consensus among innovators. However, many people are still in the process of touching rocks across the river。
Ali baba was the first business to gain commercial success with big data. The analysis of customer behaviour on e-commerce platforms has led to the birth of ant micro-credits, flowers and loans; the network of rookies provides technical solutions for the upgrading of the express delivery industry through data products such as electronic face sheets, logistics clouds, rookies, etc. Turning data from the original cost centre to the value centre。
“we have opened up the great data capacity of the decade of ali baba on a digital plus platform, and we hope that all businesses will use that capacity to exploit data.” according to hu, data is an opportunity for businesses, countries to bend over, and having data does not mean that the value of data is available. "data needs to be extracted by calculation."
For example, zhejiang province has very rich traffic data but was previously limited to computing capacity to release the value of the data. In cooperation with aliyun, a precise projection of the next hour's speed of the 1,300 km of high-speed road in the province was achieved with the strong computing capability of max compute. The calculations behind this are amazing, but the system can be done in seconds。
A number of innovative start-ups are rapidly absorbing the large data dividend of aliyun, including hungry people, barley nets, ink weather. “many of their understandings and innovations of the data have gone far beyond ali baba, and what is lacking is a strong computing ability to activate”, by hu ming。
