With pneumonia outbreak of new coronavirus infection, everyone is fighting the epidemic. Based on their own resources, many cloud providers have participated in the prevention and control.
This Lunar New Year, the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic suddenly disrupted the celebration. Along with the new coronavirus infected pneumonia, anti-coronavirus pandemic has been invested throughout the country. There are frontline medical workers, ordinary people who "squat at home" as required, and full use of their directors to participate in the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic Various industries for prevention and control.
The cloud computing industry is one of them.
Based on their own resources and capabilities, many cloud vendors make full use of the characteristics of cloud computing and actively participate in the prevention and control of
the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic.
Open the computing power to the research of
the new coronavirus pneumonia, build a pandemic information / data platform, assist local governments in the construction of a pandemic prevention and control command system, ensure the smooth operation of the government affairs cloud, and provide companies with free remote office software ... For the current prevention and control needs, cloud vendors can be described as Each does his best to fully demonstrate the industry's actions and responsibilities.
1. Helping drug development: open computing power and provide resources
As
the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic continues, vaccine development and drug screening are racing against time. During the development of new drugs and vaccines, viral gene sequencing, virus isolation, drug screening, new drug development, etc. require a large amount of data analysis, large-scale literature screening and scientific supercomputing work. The powerful computing power of cloud computing can provide stability for the above work Efficient computing power support.
At this time, a number of cloud computing vendors came forward and announced that they would open up computing power for free and provide cloud resources to help scientific research institutions shorten the research and development cycle of vaccines and
new drugs and reduce research and development costs.
Alibaba Cloud announced that all AI computing power is freely available to global public scientific research institutions. During the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic, any public scientific research institution, school, hospital for this new coronavirus analysis and
new vaccine research and development can be contacted via email. Alibaba Cloud pandemic charity group. In addition, Alibaba Cloud is working with GHDDI, a global health drug research and development center, to carry out data mining and integration of historical drug development for coronaviruses such as SARS / MERS, open relevant preclinical and clinical data resources, calculate targets and molecular properties of drugs, and The latest scientific developments of new coronaviruses are announced in real time to the scientific community and the public, providing important data support for scientific research of new coronaviruses.
2, help information release Build a pandemic information platform
the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic At present, massive sources of information are diverse, authenticity is difficult to distinguish, and anxiety is spreading. Pandemic knowledge popularization, information integration and release are also important links in pandemic prevention and control warfare. As the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic continues, the impact of pandemic in various industries continues to emerge, such as insufficient resources in medical institutions, lack of feed supply in the aquaculture industry, and transportation of materials.
To this end, local governments and departments at all levels are stepping up the release of the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic prevention and control information to ensure the supply of anti-epidemic materials.
In this process, cloud vendors helped the government build a pandemic information release platform, providing pandemic notifications, prevention and control developments, epidemic prevention knowledge, diagnosis and treatment guides and other types of prevention and control information, allowing citizens to quickly understand information from platforms such as health and health committees in various places. , Pandemic changes, prevention and treatment policies, diagnosis and treatment measures, and livelihood information such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., help the government to prevent and control pandemic, and help the people to increase their confidence in the "war epidemic."
Supporting the government cloud and medical information system to respond to urgent needs
In recent years, driven by the country's vigorous guidance and the development of the cloud computing industry, China's government cloud has developed rapidly. Over 90% of the provincial-level administrative regions and 70% of prefecture-level administrative regions in the country have been built or are under construction.
The new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic strikes. Can the cloud industry guarantee the secure and stable operation of the government affairs cloud and medical institution's information system, quickly and accurately support the sudden demand of government and medical institution business, and become the top priority of pandemic prevention and control? . The epidemic prevention war involves all aspects of society and people's livelihood. Smart city systems have also played a huge role in pandemic dynamic display and prevention and control.
Provide free remote office services to facilitate online teaching
At present,
the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic is still fierce, reducing outings and gathering people, and avoiding direct communication as much as possible, is the most effective deterrent to pandemic transmission. To this end, the state issued a policy to extend holidays, and various provinces have issued targeted rules, and many enterprises adopt remote office methods when they resume work after the holiday. In addition, the Ministry of Education has continuously issued notices requiring online teaching to be carried out at the same time as the postponement of school start in various places.
For a while, telecommuting and online teaching became just needed.
In addition, countless enterprises in the cloud industry have come forward to provide various free remote office services based on their own products. At the same time, they have cooperated with educational institutions to support online teaching and cloud classrooms, so that reinstatement enterprises and schools and students have no worries.
Dingtalk announced that it has officially released a full set of free solutions that support "home office" to 10 million enterprise organizations. The main functions include remote video conferencing, group live broadcasts that are convenient for educational institutions and schools, and safeguarding the new coronavirus infected pneumonia pandemic period. Accurate DING function, schedule sharing, task collaboration, online document collaboration, and remote punch-in function to ensure the efficiency of the organization's decentralized office. It is reported that on the first day after the start of the holiday, more than 10 million enterprises were working remotely on Dingtalk. Alibaba Cloud urgently expanded 10,000 cloud servers for Dingtalk to ensure the user experience.
Almost all large and small cloud computing vendors in the country have contributed their own power to anti-coronavirus pandemic, which is far more than what the author recorded above. There are even companies that donate materials silently, and even go deep into the anti-coronavirus pandemic frontline. However, the space is limited. This article only extracts the above as examples, and hope everyone will be able to understand it.
Fighting against 2019-ncov pandemic is about society and all walks of life. The beginning of spring is here, and Chunshan is in sight. I hope that cloud computing practitioners will work together to glow anti-coronavirus pandemic in their own jobs. Fighting 2019-ncov pandemic will succeed soon!
