In just a few hours, the private cloud is full of Shandong Telecom.

With the progress and development of science and Technology, the road of the 3G era has been very broad, as one of the most powerful northern telecommunications companies-Shandong Telecom, in the 3G ERA of telecommunications operators need to have a richer service channels, more diverse types of business, And more layered mobile communication services. pioneered the introduction of cloud computing technology to reduce overall cost and IT system complexity through new technologies to accelerate response speed to new business.

Turning clouds into effective competition

As the main force of cloud computing application, Shandong Telecom Enterprise Informatization Department director Zhang Honglei said at the press conference "through practice we found that building IT infrastructure platform for our future development is of paramount importance." The IT infrastructure for hardware, software, data, services, and so on, should be assembled rather than distributed as individuals. We must build a platform that is the challenge and pressure of the external environment. The

But in the telecommunication operator Informatization Department, the business system, the hard software variety, the IT personnel quantity is relatively limited, must under the limited resources management, the dispatch these systems, achieves to the external business demand Rapid response, the Informatization department needs a brand-new technical means.

2010, Shandong Telecom used 8 hpproliantbl680c blade server to form a pool of resources, through computing resources, storage resources and network resources virtualization, to build a unified computing, storage, network, management software, such as resource pool. The first phase of the construction of the virtual host scale of 26 units, divided into 1 host cluster.

Zhang Honglei said: "There are more than 30 businesses loaded on the cloud platform, greatly enhance our response speed, reduce the response costs, and blade server load rate is still very abundant." ”

Through the deployment of cloud computing, Shandong Telecom's new business online time from the original days shortened to several hours, the procurement cost of a stand-alone platform to save 2/3, server utilization is increased by 80%. Further expansion of the cloud platform will be considered in the future. Under the business scale of 100 hosts, 4 clusters are planned to be set up to classify clusters according to different storage levels and host performance to meet the performance and space requirements of different SLA test projects.

"Using industrial standard servers to build cloud platforms is now the best solution, and most of the mature cloud computing cases are using industrial standard servers." "Industry standard server fast and flexible and low-cost deployment cost is the best choice for cloud computing," said Zhang, general manager of China's HP industry standard Server products division.

With three clouds.

In addition, how to direct cloud computing to external business systems, providing IaaS service for enterprise and industry users is the most concerned topic of telecom operators. Zhang Honglei said that Shandong Telecom is stepping up the deployment of external cloud services, and strive to launch a "corporate cloud" services for small and medium-sized users to provide convenient virtual machine rental business.

At present, the cloud platform of telecom operators is mainly divided into three categories: IT Support cloud, business platform Cloud and IDC cloud. IT support cloud is mainly used for the internal operators, business platform cloud to improve business stability and rapid deployment capabilities;

The IDC cloud is the tool that the operator realizes the differentiated competition and realizes the transformation to the integrated information service provider.

For different levels of cloud, telecom operators need to ensure the security of the system and data, while solving the problem of management and scheduling. Zhang Honglei told reporters, Shandong Telecom for different applications have been isolated, real-time monitoring of the system operation, and adjust the maintenance process.

As for the biggest difficulty of cloud platform construction, Zhang Honglei thinks how to adopt a mature scheme to realize the flexible dispatch management of the whole cloud platform. "Last year when the cloud computing scheme was attempted, there was not a mature cloud platform case in the telecom system, and we had to explore and build." Through small-scale trials, including small comparisons and tests with various scenarios, HP's cloud platform solution was chosen. ”
