Among the four major communication operators, China Telecom's cloud strength is the most cattle, and it can be PK high and low with Internet cloud operators.
According to the data revealed by Ke Ruiwen in his keynote speech at the "2021 International Digital Technology Exhibition and Tianyi Intelligent Ecology Expo" held today (11th), China Telecom IDC ranks first in China, IaaS share ranks first among global operators, and the number of public cloud customers ranks second in China.
Think about it, there are hundreds of telecom operators in the world, and China Telecom can obtain the first IaaS share in the strategic development of cloud networks, and its strength is indeed extraordinary. This is also a feasible path for china telecom operators to embrace the information world and reduce the fate of pipelines, and it is not easy for China Telecom to make achievements under the siege of Internet manufacturers.
But from the perspective of China Telecom's entire corporate vision, the cloud is only the core, and the network is the foundation. How strong is China Telecom's basic network? Kerryvin also has a note, stating:
China Telecom's goal is to actively build a high-speed ubiquitous, heaven-earth integration of the basic network. At present, it has built the world's largest LTE-FDD network, the world's largest 5G SA co-construction and sharing network, the world's largest NB-IoT network, the world's largest Gigabit optical fiber network, the world's leading Internet operator, and the only domestic satellite mobile communication operator.
Among them, LTE-FDD 4G network and 5G SA network are not to be said, this is the job of communication operators, and China's three basic communication operators are all "Big Mac" level scale, and any one is The No.1 in their respective fields. The main point of interest is that China Telecom has built the world's largest NB-IoT network, that is, the most interesting Internet of Things in the 5G era, if this business can be cultivated into a killer application in the later stage, then the future of China Telecom is very worth looking forward to. As for the world's largest gigabit optical fiber network, mainly China Telecom's gigabit plan is advancing rapidly, and the scale of the wired broadband network and the number of users alone are actually the real hegemons of China Mobile. Now it is up to China Mobile to have the courage to cultivate on gigabits to continue to encroach on China Telecom's traditional advantages.
In China Telecom's strategy, unlike the other two, it puts security at the forefront. China Telecom has been adhering to self-developed security platforms and products to fully support cloud network security, typical products include cloud banks, quantum metropolitan area networks and dense flow secure computing platforms. At the same time, it also focuses on the core technologies of cloud network security and data security, focuses on the research and development of core technologies of network endogenous security, cloud native security and data security, and provides services on demand and elastically in the form of the cloud, realizing security as a service.
In fact, everyone uses traditional telecommunications services, the most important guarantee is security and reliability, no matter how competitive the Internet operators are of the same kind, in terms of security and controllability, it is completely incompatible with telecom-level security. In the 5G era, big data, AI, etc. will be based on the premise of massive data digging, security will become the most important threshold, as well as the most basic guarantee, China Telecom can quietly develop its own security platform and products, which is the most valuable place.
Therefore, in summary, As the "big brother" of the telecommunications industry, China Telecom not only has a high awareness of ZZ, but more importantly, it can see far and act solidly, which is the place that it cannot be ignored and the most promising place in the future.
