triggered Alibaba's biggest personnel shock in recent years. What was behind it?
In the last few days of 2022, Alibaba is not calm internally.
On December 29, according to reports from Titanium Media and many other media, Zhang Yong directly disclosed Alibaba’s major personnel adjustments in an internal letter. Jack Ma's once powerful old general Zhang Jianfeng will no longer serve as Alibaba Cloud Intelligent President, Wu Zeming succeeded Alibaba CTO Cheng Li , Deputy Dean of Damo Academy Zhou Jingren served as Alibaba Cloud CTO, while Alibaba CPO Tong Wenhong was replaced by another veteran, Jiang Fang, one of the Eighteen Arhats, and Zhang Yong personally took on the role of CEO of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.
Anecdotal comments said that this change may mark Jack Ma’s true withdrawal from Alibaba, and the status of the new spiritual leader Zhang Yong has been further strengthened. In fact, from the perspective of strategic planners, Alibaba's drastic personnel changes have both precursors and realistic triggers, and are not accidental.
From a broad perspective, the cloud computing and business has long been regarded as Alibaba's main business, and its importance is second only to consumer businesses led by e-commerce. Zhang Yong has campaigned for Alibaba Cloud's business more than once. Currently, Alibaba's three clear strategies are consumption, cloud computing and globalization. Zhang Yong has also said before that cloud computing must be fully integrated with big data and artificial intelligence to penetrate into each specific industry and form unique solutions.
According to Alibaba’s financial report at the end of September, Alibaba Cloud’s total revenue was RMB 26.76 billion. After offsetting the impact of cross-segment transactions, Alibaba Cloud’s total revenue actually increased by 4% year-on-year. Everyone should know that compared with the previous growth rate of about 30%, it has now dropped to single digits, which is a sharp decline. It certainly cannot be attributed solely to the influence of external environmental factors.
Secondly, on December 18, the serious outage incident in Hong Kong has caused great negative impact and direct economic losses to Alibaba Cloud. It is called "the most serious accident in the history of Alibaba Cloud". This incident caused the Hong Kong server to continue to be paralyzed for more than 15 hours, which was very bad in nature. Alibaba Cloud responded urgently afterwards: For products affected by this failure, Alibaba Cloud will pay compensation according to the SLA agreement of the relevant products.
However, the occurrence of this accident has actually revealed that Alibaba Cloud has a big problem in management, and it has reached the point where it has to do something.
Many of us may have no idea about cloud computing. We always feel that this term is relatively abstract and has nothing to do with us personally. But in fact, the relationship is huge.
The value of cloud computing is firstly reflected more prominently from the enterprise side. To be precise, it is a necessity for all enterprises in the digital age that rely on networks to develop and rely on online business to survive. Its future value, for enterprises, is essentially equivalent to water, electricity, and coal in our daily lives. So in the final analysis, is it important or not?
In the digital age, enterprises sell products and various marketing and promotion activities online. As long as they reach a certain scale and level, the traditional approach is to have their own servers and computer rooms. In addition to the hardware cost, the enterprise's self-built server also has extremely high talent and maintenance costs, which makes it difficult for ordinary enterprises to handle it easily.
Cloud computing service providers like Alibaba Cloud can use cloud services to solve a complete set of enterprise data interaction, storage space, software services, and network maintenance needs in one stop. In the era of rapid digital development, almost every enterprise needs this. If you don’t need it, you will fall behind.
This is also the reason why many corporate giants around the world are competing in this field. Cloud computing is equivalent to intercepting an era in advance. Whoever dominates the field of cloud computing will become the king of the next battlefield.
Due to its early deployment, China's cloud computing field is developing rapidly.On December 15 last year, the internationally authoritative cloud computing report "Gartner Solution Score Card 2021" announced that Alibaba Cloud's IaaS infrastructure surpassed Amazon , Google , Microsoft in the four core evaluations of computing, storage, network, and security, ranking first in the four worlds! China has led most countries and regions in the world in the popularity and application of cloud computing.
In terms of personal cloud computing, what everyone can perceive is mainly the network storage business. Everyone is familiar with , Baidu Netdisk, and . But mobile company has also launched China Mobile Cloud Disk, which is also very powerful. China Mobile Cloud Disk is different from ordinary network disks, and its advantages are also obvious.
First, the cloud disk has the advantage of intelligently identifying file data. It not only ensures the four core functions of file storage, multi-terminal synchronization, online management, and group sharing, but also greatly improves the speed and efficiency of file transmission.
Secondly, the cloud disk will not limit the speed. China Mobile Cloud Disk is supported by 5G technology. It is as fast as 5G.
The third one is the large cloud disk space. China Mobile Cloud Disk gives new users 1TB of storage space for free, which can basically meet the needs of ordinary users in all aspects of study, work and life. # See the beauty I have in China Mobile Cloud Disk #
Cloud computing starts from the enterprise side, and the livelihood of ordinary people depends on enterprises. The development of enterprises directly affects the stability of our work and the amount of income, so from this perspective, cloud computing will definitely affect all aspects of our work and life in the future.
So to make a long story short, what do you think of this drastic change in Alibaba’s internal personnel? Can Zhang Yong's decisive decision to seize the opportunity and kill this time really replace Jack Ma, continuously consolidate his control and influence over Alibaba, become the true spiritual leader of Alibaba Group, and firmly occupy the throne of No. 1 brother?
