Modern technology is moving to an unprecedented height, and one outstanding technology is cloud computing services. This kind of product that integrates traditional computer technology and network technology provides users with functions such as computing, storage and operation and maintenance through the convenience of the Internet, aiming to save costs and provide convenience for enterprises and individuals. This future trend is experiencing rapid development.
Cloud computing services not only save the investment of local computers and servers, but also invest the saved resources into the business needed by the enterprise, accelerating the development of the enterprise. Its convenience and economy make it an essential tool in various fields. Everyone from large enterprises to individual users can benefit from it. However, the rapid expansion of the cloud computing services market has also brought a variety of vendors and choices, with different performance and characteristics. In this field, the sophistication of technology makes it difficult for small manufacturers to achieve the desired results, while leading players are making their mark in the market.
Of course, Amazon is not the only protagonist. Major cloud computing service providers such as Microsoft, Google, Alibaba and IBM also have a strong market share. As a representative of China, Alibaba Cloud occupies about 5% of the global cloud computing market, and its continuous development and growth momentum has made it a high-profile presence. Although Alibaba Group has been questioned for fines, Alibaba Cloud has still achieved considerable results in the field of cloud computing services.
However, the US government's sanctions against China are tightening step by step, and even announced that it will cut off the supply of cloud services to China. The move is aimed at preventing Chinese companies from bypassing restrictions and using advanced AI chips. Although the Biden administration did this to remedy the shortcomings of previous restrictions on the semiconductor industry, China's cloud computing service market is mainly occupied by domestic vendors, and the market share of US cloud service vendors is relatively small, and even if the supply is cut off, it is difficult to have a significant impact.
Chinese companies have made remarkable progress in the field of cloud computing services, and many technologies are based on domestic development. Huawei's Kunpeng 920 processor adds a unique competitive advantage, not only to meet various computing needs, but also to have advantages in terms of cost performance. Despite the impact of U.S. restrictions on cloud computing services, Chinese companies are still able to continue operating with technological prowess. In order to avoid being controlled by others, China must accelerate research and development in the field of high-end chips, get rid of dependence on the United States, and ensure that it has a say in the cloud computing service market.
