Bank of communications became the first bank to use IBM system to transport cloud

May 23, the Beijing National Convention Center IBM Cloud Computing Peak forum to "reshape it, stimulate business change" for the theme. During the conference, IBM shared with China Petrochemical Group, the new Austrian group, the Bank of communications several groups of customer practice cases, cloud computing landed a resounding.

In the case of Bank of communications, based on the advanced BPaaS platform of bank production process, at home IBM pioneered the data center "system Shipping Cloud", thus created End-to-end service-oriented system operation process platform, The effective sorting of system operation and maintenance flow is realized.

Business Development urges bank it operation and maintenance change

Over the past decade, China's banking industry has been a leap-forward development, business scale and business level to improve rapidly. As one of the top five state-owned commercial banks in China, the Bank of communications has been in the forefront of China's development. In the 2009, the Bank of communications put forward the strategic goal of "taking internationalization and integration road and building a first-class public holding bank group with the characteristic of wealth management", under the development strategy, the Bank of communications has also got new challenges and opportunities for it construction and development. It needs to shift from traditional business support roles to product innovation and business-driven roles, IT operations management also needs to break through the existing IT model, fully improve IT infrastructure flexibility, scalability and rapid delivery capabilities.

Since 2003, the Bank of communications has drawn up the IT operation and development roadmap, and through years of development, so that its own IT operational capacity through a centralized integration, automation and sharing, dynamic and flow of three stages, and began to "service-oriented" model transformation. At this time, the bank of communications put forward to achieve a one-stop it operation and maintenance services, it operational dimensions of the flexible expansion capability, automatic it operation and maintenance services measurement and billing capacity, rapid service delivery capacity and scale efficiency and other IT operational development goals. And the characteristics of cloud computing are efficient, easy to expand, fast, large-scale and measurable to meet these needs. The "cloud" of it operation is also becoming an important way for the Bank of communications to build a new IT operation and maintenance platform.

System transport cloud to enhance it operational capability

The Bank of communications and IBM work together to develop the data Center cloud Computing Development Plan and develop the implementation plan of the data Center "system Transportation Cloud" through the analysis of the current IT operation development and the future business development demand. The delivery of "system transport cloud" to the cloud computing applications from the infrastructure Cloud (PaaS) to the dimension of operational Services Cloud (BPaaS), is an innovation and breakthrough, is of great significance.

The system transport cloud mainly includes cloud service platform portal, operation and maintenance service automation, configuration and software lifecycle management, Operation Dimension support management, and service directory as the center, to realize service standardization, automation, and virtualization. The platform is an End-to-end service-oriented system operation and maintenance process platform, can cover system installation, health inspection, system inspection, information collection, day-to-day monitoring, capacity management, security audit, such as a full range of day-to-day operation and maintenance services. At the same time, the platform will be unified by the IT operation and management, integration of various types of intelligent management tools to achieve centralized and unified automation management.

With the application of the system transport cloud, the utilization rate of server storage resources is expected to increase to more than 70%, and the cycle of system environment deployment based on UNIX platform can be shortened from several days to several hours, and the management process is transformed from semi-automatic to end-to-end automation. At the same time, when the new system is installed, the cloud platform can achieve one-stop self-service and management, and reduce the internal average turnaround time by more than 50%. These changes will greatly enhance the delivery capacity and operational efficiency of IT systems.
