Chapter 801: The Problem of Weibo Cloud
With the proliferation of big data and cloud computing, more and more cloud service companies have emerged at home and abroad. There are Baidu Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Qihoo Cloud, etc., in China, and they have shared many users under the banner of free cloud space.
Jiangyan is still the largest cloud service provider, but it can't be as invincible as before.
"Weibo Cloud is also a series of Weibo products, according to our initial plan, Weibo members can enjoy all functions. However, Weibo Cloud charges separately, and the price is relatively high, which makes the competitiveness of Weibo Cloud drop a lot. Hang Yu said at the meeting.
Weibo Cloud's membership function was charged separately at the beginning, which was a loophole in Jiangyan's company.
At the beginning, in the country and even in the world, only Jiangyan Company provided relatively complete cloud services, so even if the fees were high, there was no rival, and Hang Yu didn't care. But with the rise of other cloud service providers, it has gradually produced bad consequences.
At the beginning, the username still supported Jiang Yan's company, after all, Weibo cloud is a new technology that leads the world, and it once set off a heated discussion in China and became the pride of many Chinese people.
When it came to Weibo Cloud two years ago, Weibo users didn't know how proud they were, and they were filled with a sense of "superiority".
Two years later, when Weibo Cloud was mentioned, users began to have opinions, saying that Jiangyan Company was arrogant and self-contained. The technology has not improved much, but the fees have not decreased, regardless of the user's mood.
With the previously established user base, Weibo Cloud can still maintain its position as the leading leader, but the growth rate is significantly slower than that of other cloud service providers. This shows that new users do not pay attention to Jiangyan Company, and many old users have also switched to other places.
The management department of Weibo Cloud is indeed very "proud", seeing the rise of other cloud service providers, they turned a blind eye, full of the idea of "I am the Qing Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven".
Until today, seeing that the growth rate of Weibo Cloud has dropped to below 5%, and it is estimated that it will drop to 0 in a few months, or even a negative number, the senior management of Weibo Cloud Management Department still wants to hide from Hang Yu and try to take various measures to save the growth rate.
Fortunately, Hang Yu carried out reforms to the entire Jiangyan Group before, especially the reform system for the management, which opened up the shady curtain of many management, and the Weibo Cloud Management Department was not spared.
When a technical staff member of the Weibo Cloud Management Department saw this situation, he couldn't help it, and he was afraid that he would find trouble with the technical staff after the above found out, so he directly sent a complaint letter to the personnel department on Weibo.
After receiving the complaint letter, the personnel department immediately paid attention to it and sent people to the Weibo Cloud Management Department to investigate. The result was no different from the content of the technician's report, so it was immediately reported to the office, and the office reported to Hang Yu.
Hang Yu didn't get angry after knowing this situation, because during the company's rectification period, problems would break out every three or five times, and he was almost used to it.
Hang Yu calmly imposed a series of penalties on the management of Weibo Cloud, the fire of the squid, the penalty of the penalty, the demotion of the defecation, and quickly cleaned up the Weibo Cloud Management Department.
Then Hang Yu held a meeting to replan the Weibo cloud.
"First of all, Weibo members can use all the functions of Weibo Cloud, and secondly, the cost of Weibo Cloud membership needs to be reduced. According to the user acceptance, it will be reduced to the same level as other cloud service providers. Hang Yu said.
Hang Yu has also reformed the Weibo charging method before, and Weibo members are still 30 yuan a month, and they can use all the functions of Weibo series products. In addition, the series of products have also opened a separate membership, and the price is relatively low.
Choose one of the two charging methods.
When the two charging methods were first opened, many users chose the second one, that is, to open a cheap product membership. But as everyone learned to learn more about Weibo and use more products, they found that the membership that opened a single product seemed to be inadequate.
So gradually, the proportion of Weibo members began to increase.
However, due to the extremely large base of Weibo users, people who open a single membership still abound, accounting for about 70%. These people may only play games, may only listen to music, may only watch videos......
One thing they have in common is that they are shy in their pockets, they don't particularly like products, and they never use membership features.
"In addition to the charging problem, Weibo Cloud is basically the same in other aspects, as long as the service attitude is improved, pay attention to user opinions, and definitely regain the love of users. But this is not enough, we have to make Weibo Cloud bigger, and we can't just be on par with others in terms of technical function experience, we have to surpass similar products. Hang Yu said.
"In addition to the basic functions, it is necessary to develop functions for special user groups and improve services. Especially business users, who are the main paying users of Weibo Cloud, also require more complex and high-end functions. Hang Yu said.
"Since Wang Heng took over Weibo Cloud, the development of various new features has stalled a lot and has not kept up with the pace of market demand. If you want to reopen the development path of Weibo Cloud, I think it is imperative to choose a capable, responsible, and self-motivated main manager. Yue Qin said.
"Do you have any suggestions?" asked Hang Yu.
Subsequently, Yue Qin, Xia Ming and others all proposed several candidates, and Hang Yu asked Hong Zhan to collect the information of these people.
It will take a while to re-select people, and Weibo Cloud cannot stop operating.
"Before the candidate is decided, Weibo Cloud is directly responsible for the office, and Yue Qin is mainly responsible. Hang Yu said.
"Okay. Yue Qin nodded.
"Next, I will talk about what functions I envision for Weibo Cloud, first storage and CDN services are necessary, and then computing services, databases, networks, security, artificial intelligence, big data basic services, big data analysis and presentation, analysis and search, cloud communication, application services, mobile cloud, video services, etc. "Hang Yu has a long list of functional requirements.
Big data and cloud computing are still "new technologies", and even Yue Qin and others don't know much about them, except for those who specialize in these technologies.
Hearing Hang Yu report a series of functional requirements, Yue Qin and the others almost didn't understand, so they had to write down and plan to go back and study again.
Hang Yu didn't expect these managers to be very proficient in technology, what he said was mainly for Guan Yonglin, Chai Jin, Zhang Cai and others. Of course, managers also need to know some basic knowledge, otherwise it is easy to have problems in technology.
"Storage and CDN include object storage, OSS, block storage, lightning cube, file storage, NAS, archive storage, OAS, intelligent cloud album, and hybrid cloud array...... These categorization features. Hang Yu said.
When everyone remembered it, Hang Yu continued: "The OSS section should have functions such as creating storage space, deleting storage space, modifying storage space read permissions, setting static website hosting, setting logs, setting hotlink protection, managing domain names, managing cross-domain resource sharing, setting life cycles, setting cross-domain replication, and setting back-to-origin rules. ”
The first two functions are easy to understand, that is, before uploading files to OSS, you can create your own storage space in Weibo Cloud, and you can delete them if you don't need them.
Static website hosting is to configure the storage space into a static website hosting mode and access the static website through the storage space domain name.
Hotlink protection is set to reduce the additional cost of hotlink protection caused by other people's data stored in OSS.
