    Chinese Internet security provider Qihoo 360 announced the establishment of a new enterprise security group.

    Qi Xiangdong, president of Qihoo 360, will be chief executive officer of this new enterprise security group. Financial details, including capitalization structure for the technology business, were not made available by the company.

    Using the research resources of Qihoo 360's mobile security research institute, network security research institute, network attack and defense lab, and vulnerability Research Lab, the enterprise security group aims to provide security solutions and services to enterprise users throughout China.

    Qihoo 360 also released its new product named "SkyEye", which features a big data-based unknown threat sensing system. It can help large enterprise customers in the government, finance, and energy sectors discover and track unknown threats.

    According to Tan Xiaosheng, technology vice president of Qihoo 360, while providing security solutions to enterprises, Qihoo 360 also offers a full range of security services, including security consulting, security operation and maintenance, and security training.
    Earlier this month, Qihoo was accused of fraudulent activities in relation to its anti-virus services. At least three of the world's top testing laboratories — Virus Bulletin, AV-Comparatives and AV-Test Institute — revoked certifications for Qihoo 360's products because of the alleged cheating. The bodies stated that Qihoo 360 provided one set of results for certification, but then provided consumers a version of the software that had a "considerably lower level of protection".

    D.Phone Forms Mobile Phone Retail Partnership With Letv

    Name:  666.jpg
Views: 147
Size:  83.7 KB


    Letv and D.Phone announced a deal for D.Phone to open Letv experience zones in its over 4,000 outlets across China.
    Those experience zones will become pre-sales and post-sales service sites of Letv products, which are mainly super phone and super TV products. Financial terms of the arrangement were not released.

    Letv's LePar sales vice president Zhang Zhiwei said that D.Phone will not keep any stock of goods. Instead, the related deliveries will be provided by LePar. So, D.Phone will only play the role of having experience stores and the product purchases still need to be completed via the Internet. LePar is a partnership project launched by Letv.

    By cooperating with Letv, D.Phone will gain commissions from the sales of Letv smart devices, accessories and derivatives. It can also gain income from post-sales services. In addition, as a partner of Letv, the company will have the opportunity to subscribe to possible equity of Letv.

    As a traditional 3C channel, D.Phone is transforming itself to a service provider. The company hopes to use its offline network channels to provide complete O2O services to the technology industry. Meanwhile, Letv wants to establish an experience center ecosystem via the nationwide offline channel of D.Phone that allows users to experience the products before purchasing them online.

    China's X86 Server Market Grew 23% In Q1 2015

    China's X86 server market scale reached USD1.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 23%, according to a report from market research firm Gartner.

    Inspur, Dell, and Lenovo ranked the top three in this market.

    Statistics from Gartner show that during the first quarter of 2015, the global server market saw obvious growth with shipments of 2.67 million units, representing a year-on-year increase of 13%. This was reportedly the first time for the global server market to reach double-digit growth since the global economic crisis in 2008.

    Global server market growth was mainly contributed by America and Asia Pacific. Though the Middle East and Africa gained 21% growth, the net unit increase was not large.

    In the Chinese market, Inspur servers led the marketplace with 21% market share, followed by Dell and Lenovo. The market shares of those top three manufacturers did not have large gaps.

    In addition, Gartner reported that market shares of non-branded server providers further shrank, marking a year-on-year sales decrease of 68%.

    Alibaba Jumps Into China's Financial News Media Sector

    Name:  111.jpg
Views: 240
Size:  83.5 KB


    Chinese e-commerce behemoth Alibaba Group Holding Limited is investing nearly USD194 million into a Chinese financial news media company.

    Alibaba Group signed a strategic agreement with Shanghai Media Group to leverage both companies' Internet technology and media resources to penetrate China's financial information services industry. Alibaba Group intends to invest CNY1.2 billion into China Business News, a Chinese financial media subsidiary of SMG, to create a financial data and information services company.

    By utilizing Alibaba Group's big data and cloud computing capabilities, both companies will jointly develop a comprehensive financial data and information platform that will provide users with timely financial news and information in order to enhance their investment and financial decision-making capabilities.

    Financial news and information is a high value vertical sector within China. Foreign entrants Euromoney Institutional Investor, Economist, WSJ, Haymarket, Financial Times, and Incisive Media are trying to cope with other local players like China Money Network and China Finance Online who have a much better grasp of the Internet news needs of Chinese investors and decision-makers.

    The aim of this combined CBN and Alibaba platform is to raise the bar on enterprise efficiency in China by leveling the information playing field. By giving a greater number of Chinese enterprises access to precious financial data that can be easily mined and analyzed for actionable investment and business decisions, this platform is expected to help these enterprises scale and expand their businesses.

    This strategic agreement with SMG is expected to help Alibaba Group develop data-driven financial products and services to enrich the lives of Chinese users.

    Conquering Hong Kong's VOD Market With HKD6 Billion Investment

    Name:  333.jpg

Size:  104.9 KB


    Chinese Internet video company Letv.com, which established its Asia Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong in August 2014, now plans to invest HKD6 billion in Hong Kong in the next three years to build the largest Internet movie and TV entertainment platform in Asia.

    The company will produce TV series in Hong Kong and plans to shoot five TV shows within two years.

    According to Mo Cuitian, Letv's vice president and Asia Pacific executive president, the new Internet movie and TV entertainment platform will replace the traditional live broadcast model with a video-on-demand model, providing flexible entertainment choices to audiences in Hong Kong.

    Mo said that Letv will implement active development and hiring in the Hong Kong market. For program content and transmission technologies, the company aims to offer unprecedented experiences to the local Hong Kong audience.

    Letv previously expressed its intention to cooperate with Asia Television. Mo said that Letv has no intention to participate in TV license bidding in Hong Kong and its cooperation with Asia Television will be limited to the existing resources of that company. At present, all cooperation plans are undergoing discussion.

    So far, Letv boasts 100,000 clicks in Hong Kong in peak time. Mo said the vide-on-demand service will be a paid service and its paid users are expected to increase to one million by the end of 2016. Hong Kong has less than eight million residents, though, which is about the same as a medium-sized mainland Chinese city like Hangzhou.
