This report aims to analyze the current development status, application scenarios, commercial value, and development trends of the Chinese government-specific cloud market, as well as present the competitive landscape of the Chinese government-specific cloud market. Frost & Sullivan, in collaboration with LeadLeo, conducted a downstream user experience survey on core products in the government-specific cloud field. The respondents mainly come from the government sector, vary in organizational size, and are divided into different sub-sectors.
The trend analysis of government-specific cloud provided in this market report also reflects the overall trends of the government-specific cloud industry. The presentation of the competitive landscape in the report is only applicable to the development cycle of the Chinese government-specific cloud industry for this year. Frost & Sullivan and LeadLeo will continue to monitor the private cloud market, capturing market applications and trend dynamics.
As the government affairs sector gradually moves from cloud resource scheduling and cloud development and deployment to comprehensive and in-depth cloud usage, its digital and intelligent transformation has further advanced into deeper waters. As a key and core infrastructure for digital government construction, government-specific clouds combine the advantages of various cloud models to significantly enhance the level of digital government construction, promoting an all-round digital leap and intelligent upgrade in the government affairs field.
Government-specific cloud is a type of cloud service provided by third-party cloud service providers that offer IT infrastructure hardware resources and operational management services. It isolates dedicated virtualization resource pools at the physical level, ensuring that all computing resources are exclusively available to the government units it serves. Facing four major government scenarios: political and legal affairs, taxation, human resources and social security, and party building, government-specific cloud provides infrastructure such as networks, computing, and storage, as well as platform or application solutions for downstream applications.

As the digital and intelligent transformation of government and enterprises progresses, the demand for efficient e-government has increased. Government-specific clouds, supported by new-generation information technology, are reshaping the modern cloud service platform for government affairs management, business operations, and technical infrastructure. They will enter a new stage of development.In the future, driven by both technological upgrades and iterations such as privacy computing, low-code development, blockchain, and cloud-native integration, as well as the expansion of downstream scenarios, the government-specific cloud market has great potential.
The development of government-specific cloud needs to meet the demands of the times and market, returning to the seven rigid requirements of users in major government scenarios. Although there are different business characteristics and focus directions in the four major government scenarios—political and legal affairs, taxation, human resources and social security, and party building—they all share a common need centered around data security, elastic scalability, operational convenience, and flexible compatibility.

Cloud service providers continued to delve deeper into the government-specific cloud market in 2022, proposing and implementing development strategies that hit the market trend.
Tianyi CloudAs the 'National Cloud', it adheres to the development concept of cloud-edge collaboration, has a leading edge in network infrastructure and data center resource pools. It has launched SD-WAN 'one-stop cloud-network integration' solutions, which are widely used in various government scenarios such as pharmacies and hospitals within the province connecting to the medical insurance cloud, and state-owned enterprises within the province connecting to the state-owned assets cloud.
Alibaba Government CloudBased on the domestically developed and independently controllable Feitian Cloud Operating System, it accelerates regional government innovation with Feitian AI computing. It serves multiple scenarios such as Party building, human resources and social security, urban operation management, etc. In 2022, it further deepened project cooperation and practical exploration in the field of digital government.
Huawei CloudIn 2022, we continued to deeply cultivate the government cloud market. Leveraging our leading cloud-native and distributed technologies, intelligent data lakes, AI, and application integration governance technologies, we focused on various government scenarios such as government service websites, public resource trading platforms, economic operation monitoring, government data sharing and exchange platforms, and government big data. We helped multiple cities across the country achieve digital government and urban intelligent hub construction, contributing to the innovative digital transformation of government affairs.
Mobile CloudRelying on its widely distributed infrastructure, rich communication network operation experience, cloud-network integration advantages, integrated R&D and operation support system, as well as a strong ecosystem and integration capabilities, it delves into government affairs scenarios, deeply understands the government's cloud adoption demands, and creates various "government cloud" construction models to empower the digital government in solving pain points such as data sharing and security compliance.
UNICOM CloudBased on technical advantages such as the 'Woyun Government Cloud' and multi-region, multi-center disaster recovery capabilities, it covers a wide range of application scenarios including government office work, safe cities, resource monitoring, police cloud, emergency command, smart communities, and intelligent transportation.
The proprietary cloud technology continues to be optimized and upgraded, with a promising future for the government-specific cloud. It shows trends in privacy computing, blockchain, low-code, integration of cloud-native capabilities, and intelligent operations. Privacy computing solves the current dilemma between "security and trust" and "data circulation," as well as the balance between "privacy security and performance" by constructing an "invisible but usable data" model.

In the future, further expansion of applications will achieve a balance between data privacy protection and value mining, providing legal, orderly, and contractual government data opening services to government agencies.Low-code technologyThis makes digital government more efficient and faster in application development and feature implementation, as well as better suited to the personalized and diversified needs of businesses.BlockchainBy setting up blockchain nodes in various government departments, the system realizes data rights confirmation, control information computation, personalized security encryption, and other tasks during the process of sharing government data. It solves the collaborative computing problem of protecting privacy among a group of distrustful participants. In the future, the new industrial model of cloud computing + blockchain will provide new solutions to pain points such as 'data silos' and difficult business collaboration that traditional government affairs face.Cloud-native technologyIntegrated into the construction of the government-specific cloud platform, it can support the transformation of traditional applications to cloud-native applications, ultimately providing government agencies with agile deployment, large-scale high concurrency, and elastic and flexible business value.
The integration of big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence with government application scenarios is becoming increasingly mature. Government-specific clouds are gradually developing in the direction of intelligence, including operational autonomy and network intelligence. With the increasing maturity of these technologies, it is possible to build safer and more efficient government service-specific cloud platforms, accelerate their application in various government scenarios, strengthen the digital construction of China's government sector, and improve governance effectiveness with better levels of innovation.
