The document discusses the construction and transition to cloud-based systems, highlighting the evolution from traditional data centers to cloud computing due to increasing user demands and the rise of 'internet+'. It emphasizes the importance of cloud storage, its architecture, and the benefits of intelligent, scalable, and high-performance cloud solutions, along with their specific applications across various industries. The document also outlines the advantages of adopting cloud technologies over traditional storage methods, including cost-effectiveness and enhanced operational efficiency.

1. How To Build A Stable And
Robust Base
For a “Cloud”

2. Historical Background and Cloud Trends
• Overturn of traditional business
models
• The transactional businesses based
on the Internet or mobile terminals
have grown exponentially
• The requirements for user
experience are higher
– Available at anytime
– Smooth accesses
– Comprehensive functions
– Safe and Reliable

3. Imperative Cloud Transition
• The challenges and opportunities brought by
"Internet+" force the transition form
traditional data centers to cloud computing
• Objects hosted by the cloud platform:
– New business system
– Incremental IT
– The transition of inventory IT
• Hot spots of construction: private clouds and
industrial clouds

Procurement Costs
High-cost Dedicated Hardware Low-cost Universal Hardware
The higher requirements, the more
expensive
Non-universal, poor resource
utilization
Bound to vendors
lower cost, but higher capacity
Universal hardware, high utilization,
on-demand flow
Not bound to hardware vendors, pro-
competitive
Capacity Expansion Costs
High Input, Periodic Capacity
Expansion
Low Input, On-demand Capacity
Expansion
One-time high input, locked funds
Expansion of old equipment, weak
input-output ratio
Bound to vendors, seller's market
on-demand input, optimized allocation of funds
Using mainstream hardware, reasonable input-
output ratio
Not hardware bound to vendors, buyer's market
Operation and Maintenance Costs

Dedicated teams and technologies, high
staffing cost
Complex operation and maintenance, high
input in professional services
Universal spare parts, low cost
No specific requirements, low staffing cost
Simple operation and maintenance, no
need of professional services
