Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> Cloud announced on Wednesday that many of its internal self-research businesses were fully on the cloud. This means that Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder />‘s internal businesses, including QQ, WeChat, Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> Video, and Honor of Kings, will be developed and operated based on a public cloud model.

Over the past three years, the scale of Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder />‘s self-research business on the cloud has exceeded 50 million cores, with cumulative cost savings of more than 3 billion yuan ($446.8 million). Tang Daosheng, Senior Executive Vice President of Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> and CEO of Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> Cloud and Smart Industry Group, said: “It not only helps Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> build a future-oriented technical architecture and R&D culture by uploading its massive internal business to the cloud, but also comprehensively hammers Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> Cloud’s product, technology and comprehensive service capabilities to help the development of the real economy.”

In 2018, Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> launched an overall strategic upgrade and established a technology committee to clarify two major technology strategies, namely “open source collaboration” and “self-research in the cloud.” The latter is mainly to move the massive self-research business of Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> Group, including social, games, content and other businesses, to the cloud.

In January 2020, Tencent<img decoding="async" class="trade-card__loading" layout="fixed" height="50" width="50" src="https://assets.pandaily.com/uploads/2021/12/loading.png" placeholder /> put QQ on the cloud. Unlike the original tidal wave management of the public cloud, QQ is highly emergent and requires a higher level of sudden response to the cloud. The QQ team has addressed the issue of network interoperability. The cloud is more difficult for WeChat than for QQ because the development frameworks for WeChat and QQ are different, and WeChat has a larger volume of users than QQ.
