Summarizing � OpenStack � in � China

OpenStack Developers n  Until now, Only Sina and Intel/IBM/RedHat China team have significant code

contribution to OpenStack, few other individuals or companies involved in. n  Developers who don’t have Python background is the majority of currently

OpenStack involved engineers.

OpenStack Market n  OpenStack is already most widely known and first-choice open-source cloud

platform, and gained the momentum in the market, last half year’s promotion campaign has been a important driving force.

n  Chinese companies show strong interest in OpenStack, while BIG companies like Huawei, ZTE, Telecom operators have very conservative attitude regarding OpenStack.

n  Most companies or organizations choose to do deployment, research and development by themselves, but have little process, due to NO commercial, professional OpenStack services, solutions and training programs in China so far, if there is, more than half of them are willing to buy their services.

Suggestion � for � Foreign � Companies � to � China

Local teams n  Local people understand local demand, culture, market and relationship n  Empower your local team

Customization for local users n  The user habit has too much difference in software product, or internet based

applications, compared to the foreign alternatives. n  Price mechanism / payment method Understand True and Real requirement / background n  Distinguish superficial words and inner requirement

Take Action ASAP n  Local companies, especially for small, usually move forward more

quickly and more applicable

Cloud � Players � in � China

Cloud � Players � in � China(more � detail)

Chinese � Cloud � Players � Analysis n  IaaS Public Cloud Service Provider

n  No one captured more than 10% IaaS/Hosting market, that is no leadership company in IaaS so far.

n  IaaS technology, operation ability and government policy is the top 3 obstacles to prevent their development.

n  Profit margin of IaaS public cloud is relatively low compared to other Internet field, such as game, e-commerce.

n  IaaS Software/Solution Provider n  Eucalyptus based solutions dominated the market, but the brand of Eucalyptus often

been hidden to customers, that is to say, highly fragmentized, don’t provide API, no ecosystem, no interoperability.

n  No one company has been widely acknowledged by the industry, nor dominated the market, most of them are under tangled warfare.

n  Some companies has planned to provide OpenStack-based products/solution, yet no real products come out so far.

n  PaaS n  Major players are Internet companies, PaaS often relies on their social platform. n  The only successful public and commercial PaaS so far is SAE n  No commercial PaaS software solution on the market besides open-sourced
