I wonder if you ever say goodbye to old friends, Sun zhe Liu, from end of strangers.
"Cool free to save your photos to a network, feel free to visit and never lost. "This meaningful words still hang on the cool website. Just always come too fast, at the top of the page, the words more "cool personal network storage service will be stopped." At this point on the page "free download client 30 complimentary print photo" promotions have not suspended, everything was quiet as yesterday afternoon. But has promised to keep the memories of our life, and now have to let owners pack up and after life.
Cool disc publishing announced Twitter to stop personal customer service
Cool meirenchimu
At first, the user is so cool love this software, call it China's "Dropbox". The beginning of 2013, Xue Manzi, after investment cool also proudly wrote on Twitter: "I invest in the Chinese 'Dropbox'. "This micro-blogging is a share called Gu Zhicheng, as he is one of only three post.
Gu Zhicheng, is the main founder of cool. He also founded a company named storm. The two companies, which was purchased by Ali, who was removed was sold to fengxin.
Cool Pan founder Gu Zhicheng
As the earlier bubble in China Forum, software entrepreneurs, Gu Zhicheng is young talent. Early in 2003, the freshmen he developed a windstorm. Not long ago, has relied on the popular SP ad-month turnover of four hundred thousand or five hundred thousand. According to Gu Zhicheng's analysis, however, it is the focus of advertising, led to a decline in the competitiveness of their products. Sold after the storm, he wanted to do some "pure." After and Thunderbolt, fengxin on and off. In 2010, the Gu Zhicheng aged 25, he is ready to do some new things.
Pure things what is it? Is probably as far as possible from advertising this fascinating mind "drugs". Dropbox at home when he was blocked. As Gu Zhicheng Dropbox users determined to build China's "Dropbox".
Cool was born. It can store files in the cloud, and sync to the PC, mobile, Web, thus facilitating the management of personal information, to provide everyone with a virtual "network yard".
Storage, transmission, synchronization is a personal cloud of three important technologies, especially synchronous technology, at home there is no ready-made experience. Dropbox in the former, Gu Zhicheng and partners feel that their product gaps so quietly began posting in the Forum. Did not expect users to "buy", just five months users reached 5 million or 6 million. But this time, clouds of other brands have developed have sprung up.
Gu Zhicheng found that only half a step ahead of competitors.
Cool angel round investors Xue Manzi
Cloud storage product, need a lot of storage space and a super wide bandwidth. Baidu for a year now spent billions of Yuan to buy bandwidth, 70% was occupied by free cloud.
Some insiders familiar with cloud storage.
Gu Zhicheng of the year also had the same problem. During the construction period, cool has become the customer of Dell's small and medium enterprises Division. It was cool in the first established on the introduction of Xue Manzi angel investment reasons. However, this is far from enough, March 2011 accepted SIG $ 5 million series a investment in August of the same year to the DCM series b investment of us $ 20 million.
If you search online, also you can see the beginning of 2013 Gu Zhicheng announced news that will be charges. This is Gu Zhicheng in order to draw the high cost of storing the last efforts.
However, Baidu is clouds, Jin Shanyun, aliyun BLK gold "cash burn", Gu Zhicheng was committed woman became a c round of financing, was purchased by Ali, he also joined the company. Marketing message to Ali purchase cool composure, "the Earth is too dangerous, still looking for a BAT to marry the" relief. Maybe it is storm after selling a successful precedent, Gu Zhicheng believed the future was good.
This is Ali took over when cool announcement. What charges apply, any space constraints. Thick local flavor without explanation.
However cool ushered in the day, Ali is not ready to burn in a row. On October 10, 2015, the personal cloud storage service will be stopped. Ali gave the user more than two months to transfer information. How will cool future development, Lei feng's network asked Ali's spokesman, said: "cool is not closing, a total transformation. Will continue to provide services to business users. And cooperation of enterprises and manufacturers users will not be affected. "
Indeed, the brand did not disappear, but that China "Dropbox" are no longer traceable.
Gu Zhicheng did not express their views through any channel, but until today the Twitter avatar is cool Logo. There may not be people in this world love cool more than Gu Zhicheng.
On the cloud "naked tear"
"If in the next three years we use large data technology into value, that we hang in there really is broke again. "These words from the mouth of millet CEO Lei. How expensive is the cloud storage, speaks for itself. Lei said that last one or two years the number of users to upload photos to the cloud number grows geometrically. Behind all this is the heavy cost of storage and bandwidth. Lei's point of view reflected personal cloud storage industry dilemma: unable to liquidate.
From this point of view, Ali turned to corporate users, cut individual clouds aim is very simple: to reduce costs. Considered by some critics, Alibaba as a listed company, needs to get investors and social supervision, so cloud capital story now, a stare or two, bad implications for the financial data, obviously, so I can't continue to burn.
Throughout the history of Ali, step by step, grow, but died in the hands of the stars also abound. Like "drop dead" network of Yahoo China, Word of mouth, like cool only for Ali's adoptive children. Rivers State, son still had to hand, not to mention the children of concubines.
So, when the first personal cloud that fell, cheered silently lamented. On the personal cloud storage market, however, and still hold.
2013 is a personal cloud storage "naked tear" for one year.
In August, Baidu users and 360 suddenly staged a massive battle. First 360 cloud free 360G, Baidu is clouds followed by launching limited-time spent one Yuan for 1T disk space. 360 capacity expansion free then to 1T. Thought thus both local needs healing, but Baidu has once again set off to pay a 2 t of concessions, public opinion look uniform on 360. Breath for two days, 360 Announces 36T's free space and condition of infinite expansion. So people overjoyed to prepare for Baidu announced 100T free space, and then ... There and then.
360 by the users, Baidu although defeated, but also gain a certain share, and paid through a payment to expand their platforms. Users get a real cloud storage space. Pattern established in the market.
"The market situation has been settled now, but had not seen who hope to make money, the fact is that the world does not find a way to seamlessly change we are. "Some people in the industry to network reporter conducted the analysis of Lei feng," company boss is willing to inject billions of your hard disk, server, and 1,000,000,008 buy bandwidth, provided free of charge to you (user)? "
Personal cloud service if it will not change the channel? A domestic world top 500 enterprises have a comprehensive enterprise cloud services business without personal cloud service, Lei feng's network to prove reason to not do personal cloud service, the answer is simple: "do not make money. "
Do you want to put the money in my Pocket? I give you my Pocket free
Even if it is free, also suffered a crisis of confidence in the cloud, because no one would believe BAT3 charity. As Lei said he was exploring personal cloud storage of large data values.
Data is valuable, of course. Everyone on the extent to which data can be mastered, technically still clasped in the hands of service providers. Of course, none of the companies will admit to spying on the user information. However, before the snow United States Government never admitted the Prism program. Deception from the authority, made the world increasingly vulnerable on the trust. Cloud users in particular found his carefully categorized love Japanese teacher was a "suspected violation of law, this video" clips are replaced by that kind of extreme shock e.
"Do you want to put the money in my Pocket? I give you my Pocket free "describing personal cloud service provider's" face ".
Dressed in a black suit, giving away cool. Personal cloud solution there is a charge. If mainstream cloud charges separately, then no doubt marked the Internet of free thinking and does not apply to every product, and all players involved in x tore through clouds, may want to rethink the wind used to landing. Private cloud OneSpace CEO Penrhyn from Lei Feng network said: "the estimated 360 will be the first premium personal cloud service providers. "Wait a minute, does not mean that these giants have promised free personal space yet? We can look at Baidu's user agreement. Alexander Mcqueen iPhone case
Excerpts from Baidu user agreement
Ending free service without notice to the user and without any liability to any user or to any third party. Yes, that is so domineering side leakage. What about 360?
Excerpts from 360 user agreement
360 does have a commitment in the cloud services agreement, always free. However, if faced with the cruelty of capital, 360 and how it will make the choice? Confirm with 360 Lei Feng network permanently free, as of press time, no response.
Say goodbye to
If time could be turned back five years, when no one could have expected such fierce competition from cloud services. Gu Zhicheng of beginner's mind, or just wanted to make a beautiful box, floating in the clouds, make every precious memory in Paradise have a resting place. Today, undergone, Taoyuan.
Lei Feng Gu Zhicheng network presented to Ali interview requests, be sensitive, uncomfortable for company personnel to refuse. I do not know why, people in my mind a picture: mottled railed late hero, he desperately cried out, he said, but couldn't hear a Word.
Those fans that cool, can be said to be China's earliest personal cloud users, is now quietly transferred information. It as pick up an old House. They said: "I lived for so many years, leaving a pile of stuff," anything that will not give it?
There was a line in the juvenile: "life is constantly put down, however painful is that I failed to properly say goodbye. "Farewell and cool, as to say goodbye to the good things in our lives be gone, did not know of those good things, do you have your beginner's mind. Alexander Mcqueen iPhone 5
