China-made middleware reverse attack "cloud" test is imminent

In the three basic software, middleware is the most difficult part to mention, because its technical barriers than operating systems and databases, the relatively easy to tackle, the market is also more successful. In the information system construction, the middleware undertakes the interconnection interoperability responsibility, whether must be autonomous controllable is safe? Under the current technology trend, how will the domestic middleware evolve?

The Chinese-made middleware reverse attack originates from the control consciousness enhancement

Domestic middleware has occupied nearly 1/3 of the domestic market share, to a certain extent, because of the enterprise CIO to it information construction Software Management awareness enhancement.

Operating systems, databases, and middleware are called three basic software. Among them, the domestic middleware industry has become the breakthrough of the gap between the domestic software manufacturers and the international brands, especially in the cloud computing, mobile interconnection and large data and other technology trends, the industry has put forward the requirements for the upgrading of middleware products.

IDC Research manager Pan Yonghua told the China Electronic newspaper reporter, in China's middleware market, foreign manufacturers share a large, but domestic manufacturers grow quickly, market share rose quickly. In addition, open source middleware such as JBoss, Tomcade has been more and more widely used, has become a strong competitive force.

Data shows that domestic middleware has occupied nearly 1/3 of the domestic market share, the industry's annual 18% high-speed composite growth rate let people see the domestic middleware from supporting to the protagonist's transformation. It is expected that by 2016, domestic middleware industry will be more than 5 billion yuan, compound growth rate reached 19.6%. More importantly, more and more enterprises have gradually realized the value of domestic middleware.

Primeton Information Technology Co., Ltd. CTO Giorii View, the domestic middleware industry, to a certain extent, because the CIO of IT information construction Software Management awareness enhancement. As a kind of independent system software, middleware can connect multiple independent applications or systems, realize the sharing and exchange of data resources across system, across network and across regions, effectively solve the problem of "Information Island".

Giorii told the "China Electronic newspaper" Reporter: "first, after the Snowden incident, information security has become the customer's primary concern." Second, the current customers are very concerned about self-control issues, controllability, they want to master the system platform. Third, foreign products are universal products, not customized products for customers. Because the system is relatively large, modules, many functions in the domestic does not necessarily be able to use, but domestic customers on some aspects of product performance requirements, such as Taobao on the concurrent volume of requirements, may be higher than foreign products, so some domestic customers think foreign products are not suitable for their own. Among them, the Internet business, UnionPay business, banking business, telecommunications billing services, the performance of the middleware requirements are relatively high. ”

is security related to autonomic control

From a technical point of view, the security risks of software products are the same; from a controllable point of view, there are differences between foreign products and domestic products.

In the past more than 20 years, the development of China's informatization has shifted from the key business applications and departmental applications to the current enterprise application stage. The so-called enterprise-class application is to integrate key applications and departmental applications, achieve synergy, and obey the unified dispatch and management. To put it simply, it is necessary to eliminate the problem of "information Island" frequently mentioned in the current enterprise informatization, which needs the great function of middleware.

The current information security is widely concerned by the industry and users, middleware as one of the three basic software, whether there are security issues? How to understand security and controllability?

Giorii that middleware has evolved into a series of features such as portal, integration, development, data analysis and other middleware software, is the most important part of Enterprise informatization. Therefore, if enterprises blindly rely on foreign software service platform, it is very difficult to build a truly autonomous and controllable information security system, in the process of enterprise IT construction will inevitably have some unknown security risks. In his view, foreign products in the performance and autonomy control are problematic.

However, Giorii also pointed out that, although many domestic middleware products, but not each of the domestic middleware can be accepted by customers. "Pu yuan customers are more agree with the concept of localization, but the key is the product, the company's identity." Because the localization is very broad, whether to identify with this product or enterprise, and whether it is domestic not much relationship. Primeton main contact is the financial, banking, telecommunications, electricity, energy, military industry customers, these industry customers choose the domestic IT vendors are mainly looking at the product performance and service capabilities. ”

Pan Yonghua that any software has a security problem, different departments for security requirements are not the same. Military and government departments, for example, look at security very heavily. But from the technical point of view, the security risk of software products is the same, from the controllable point of view, there are foreign products and domestic products difference. Foreign product source code can not all be able to get, and the domestic product source code can be controlled in the hands of the state, enterprises.

Middleware facing cloud Test

Domestic middleware manufacturers have the opportunity to provide software platform services to enterprises quickly under the impetus of current cloud computing, large data and mobile interconnection technology.

As one of it technologies, middleware is also challenged by cloud computing. Earlier, Primeton and IDC jointly released a software platform white paper, it is mentioned in the report that the complexity and flexibility of enterprise IT construction are more and more high, how to strengthen it construction autonomous control, it is necessary to build a unified software platform to solve the complex situation of multi project parallel, multi vendor management and Multi system integration. In this way, domestic middleware manufacturers have a better chance of the current cloud computing, large data and mobile interconnection technology, such as the promotion of new technologies, to play the local advantages, fast for the enterprise to provide software platform services.

The technology of middleware is facing the route choice of mixed cloud, private cloud and public cloud. At the moment, Giorii, the hybrid cloud and private cloud are the development trend of cloud computing in enterprise informatization, rather than talking about more public clouds now. "In the current cloud trend, the traditional software architecture is bound to change." such as enterprises need flexible, easy to expand the cloud applications, the need for a more flexible, more coupled architecture, this kind of ' light architecture ' products enable domestic software manufacturers to help enterprises rapid development deployment of various applications. ”

Analysis of relevant industry insiders pointed out that in the process of enterprise informatization, it is necessary to lay more structure of this kind of elasticity demand, and all kinds of enterprise application will be reconstructed, and the domestic middleware manufacturers need to provide good products and solution support in application development platform, application integration, application of large data and operational dimension of application.

In addition, not only the technology and architecture of the middleware platform have changed, but also the marketing methods and channels of middleware vendors will change. If the cloud arrives, the traditional profit model of selling software licenses to customers will be transformed into a model that works with cloud service providers to provide middleware platform services to many developers using the cloud on the cloud platform. For example, Primeton the PAAs platform with Aliyun in the second half of last year.

It is reported that, as the leading domestic software products and solutions provider, is currently the domestic basic software PRODUCT category of the most complete manufacturers, already has a fully independent intellectual property rights of the Platform software products and solutions, product and service capabilities mature. Currently its product type has covered the application delivery class, business integration, intelligent data, cloud computing, such as the four major areas, as well as finance, electricity, gas and other industry users of the business platform class, a total of five major categories of nearly 20 sub-product series, in the domestic manufacturers share is firmly in the first, enough to support telecommunications, Financial and other domestic relations important industry security, as well as enterprises to the Internet to transform software support needs.
