As a money-burning business, cloud storage is likely to be eliminated. This is also an important reason why Cool Disk has been seeking financing this year.
On September 25th, it was learned today that the acquisition negotiation of Alibaba and cloud storage application cool disk has ended. Alibaba has successfully acquired cool disk, and will soon announce that the acquired cool disk will remain independent operation. The news is expected to be announced soon today or tomorrow.
Alibaba's M&A negotiations with Cool Disk have been going on for a long time. In May of this year, Cool Disk CEO Gu Zhicheng said that Cool Disk is seeking C-round financing. Currently, it is talking with several companies about financing matters. There is one in the negotiation for Alibaba, but everything It was not finalized.
Founded in 2011, Cool Disk was founded by Angel investor Xue Manzi and Internet Express CEO Huang Mingming. In October 2011, the B-round investment received by DCM totaled 20 million US dollars. Since then, Huang Mingming has been the chairman of the cool disk, but Huang Mingming has faded out of company management a year ago, which is equivalent to having withdrawn from the cool disk. At present, Gu Zhicheng is responsible for the internal operation of Cool Disk.
At present, Baidu, Alibaba, Shanda and other enterprises are all in the cloud storage market. 115 startups such as network disk and cool disk are also working hard. Not only that, but Amazon also launched Cloud Drive cloud service for Chinese consumers. Among them, Jinshanyun recently announced that it has received a $20 million Series A investment. The investor is a fund company owned by well-known foreign investor Yuri Milner. This is another investment that Jinshan Cloud obtained after Xiaomi invested in Jinshan Cloud last year.
Baidu Cloud also announced that the total number of users has exceeded 100 million. It has become the "killer" product in Baidu's mobile product matrix after Baidu Mobile Search, Mobile Baidu, Baidu Map, Baidu Magic Map and Baidu Mobile Browser. Baidu Cloud also announced personal cloud storage into the T era during Baidu World Congress this year. Baidu Personal Cloud provides services such as network disk, address book, photo album, article, notepad, SMS, mobile phone retrieval, games, health and so on.
The cloud storage market competition is unprecedentedly fierce. As a money-burning business, startups are likely to be eliminated. This is also an important reason why Cool Disk has been seeking financing this year. However, both Cool Disk and Alibaba did not disclose too much financing details.
