The new realm of private cloud

Although many IT companies have provided relevant services and applications for private cloud, few people have been able to build private cloud within the enterprise, as EMC does with its products, and even to achieve the goal of full virtualization; EMC's strategy, said Zhiwen, director of the Asia Pacific and Japan Regional IT department, is, "What we sell to our customers , we've all used them ourselves. ”

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; Zhiwen the "Private Cloud Road", no matter how much it costs, the second phase of mission-critical application virtualization is coming to an end, Zhiwen is optimistic that it should be up to 85% virtualization by year-end, and that by 2012 it will move towards full virtualization and it as a service (it as a Service), which is to operate it as a services.

Cloud computing is still in a ambiguous state, the application is also not clear, Zhiwen points out, such as IBM, HP in the cloud solution, still the category, the database piece, storage is another piece, and the server is separated from the other, but EMC has done to all storage, services, Applications are put into the same private cloud.

Zhiwen fully practices EMC's self-image, he says, "EMC is the company that sells software services," and because the cloud is currently out of standard, EMC must lead the way in front of the customer, creating an EMC success model with VMware standards that allows customers to follow.

Perhaps it is for this reason that EMC is actively intimidating in all its aspects, with 1,600 x86 servers in the data center reduced to 40, and even UNIX platform consolidation and virtualization started; Zhiwen also mentions the upcoming end of the year at the U.S. headquarters of the Virtual desktop infrastructure Desktop INFRASTRUCTURE,VDI), the application of desktop cloud, VDI will undoubtedly significantly increase it operational efficiency, but also foresee some users (such as manufacturing sector) rights will be sacrificed, but zhiwen that the current use of various devices to work is already a trend, As a result, more than 40,000 EMC employees worldwide will be included in the VDI architecture once the data is secure.

Since there is no data centre in Asia, and when it comes to promoting VDI in Asia, the bandwidth will be another challenge, Zhiwen said that the Asia establishment of a resource centre has been budgeted to move forward next year to accelerate the progress of VDI in Asia.

EMC will go into full virtualization by 2012, Zhiwen said, and there will be a new IT architecture that not only serves it as a service, but also it is business (Run it as a Business).

Zhiwen stressed that enterprises to truly achieve it as a service level, it is necessary to achieve full virtualization; second, the establishment of business services to improve the key to meet the needs of business units, such a private cloud can bring enterprise efficiency and business opportunities.
