33. 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.

34. 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

37. 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
CloudFoundary and OpenShift
