Development Background
The three giants of the domestic Internet Baidu (136.58, 0.91, 0.67%), Alibaba, and Tencent (BAT) have all opened their cloud platforms. In order to attract more developers to join its ecosystem, BAT has officially opened the curtain of competition for developers through cloud services.
Tencent's senior executive vice president Tang Daosheng believes that the cloud has become the basic setting of the Internet. Before the advent of cloud services, the operation and maintenance of servers often constituted a major bottleneck for entrepreneurship, but with cloud services, the cost of entrepreneurs can be greatly reduced. However, Tencent has lagged behind in the speed of rolling out cloud services to the industry, and is the latest of the big three to open up. However, Chen Lei, general manager of Tencent Cloud, believes that Tencent has been doing cloud services for a long time, but Tencent's opening up is gradual.
Product Introduction
Tencent Cloud, which is open this time, is positioned as a public cloud platform serving Internet application developers. It covers three levels: computing cloud, data cloud, and personal cloud, including cloud servers, cloud databases, NoSQL high-speed storage, compass, CDN, cloud monitoring, and cloud security.
By connecting to the Tencent Cloud platform, developers can reduce the cost of starting a business and more easily cope with the pressure on servers, storage, and bandwidth.
Like-for-class comparisons
Tencent Cloud and Baidu Cloud have completely different focuses, and Baidu provides developers with PaaS-level services such as virtual development environments, development components, and testing tools. Tencent's focus is on the IaaS level – cloud servers, cloud databases, NoSQL high-speed storage and elastic web services.
In addition, Tencent Cloud also has "Cloud Monitoring" to monitor servers and storage, "Tencent Compass" to analyze user behavior data in applications, and value-added services such as "Cloud Security" and CDN. Tencent believes that in terms of the difficulty of data migration and the type of service, IaaS services seem to be more sticky.
From a business perspective, Tencent Cloud and Alibaba Cloud are much closer. From the perspective of attracting customers, the two companies will have a more direct competition in terms of price, elasticity, scale and stability in the future.
Facing challenges
For Tencent Cloud, the biggest challenge at the moment comes from unverified stability. Because the current situation of cloud services in China is not good, from speed to after-sales service, many Chinese developers are skeptical about the use of cloud computing.
Today, although Tencent Cloud has served users on a large scale, its service quality and stability have yet to be verified.
Operational ideas
Tencent's idea is to attract developers to try Tencent Cloud's services through gradual openness and good reputation. At the same time, by accessing Tencent's social relationship chain resources, we can open up WeChat, mobile QQ and other resources that are attractive to developers, so as to keep developers in Tencent's ecosystem.
