Borrow Force cloud storage China Telecom Pathfinder Scale Cloud service

Mobile internet has brought human beings into the "forever Online" era of "everything is interconnected, information is shared", and it also means that the era of large data flow is coming. Combined with its own basic resources, customer base and industry position advantages, China Telecom has recognized the industry change brought about by cloud computing, active deployment to promote the implementation of the cloud computing strategy, is currently seizing the opportunity of large-scale application of cloud computing, efforts to "intelligent pipeline leader, integrated platform provider, content and application of participants" New positioning change.

Network ability to lay a solid foundation

At present, China Telecom's broadband network has covered all areas inhabited, backbone network width reached 22T, the international export bandwidth reached 760G, broadband users more than 70 million; with the "Broadband China, Optical Network City" project started, the next three years, all cities to achieve 20m~100m fiber to the user access capacity. As of the end of June 2011, the 3G Network has also covered all counties and cities above the county level and nearly 90% townships in mainland China.

China Telecom in the internal deployment of more than 10,000 cloud desktop systems, the traditional data center room area of more than 1 million square meters, more than the size of the computer room more than 300, rack service capacity of more than 100,000, built in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, xian four backbone IDC node data center.

Plus in the cable broadband, Tianyi 3G Mobile communications, data centers and other areas are in a leading position, these resources for the rapid development of China Telecom Cloud Services provides a solid foundation.

The exploration and practice of cloud computing

2009, China Telecom launched the cloud computing field tracking and research, set up the "Sky Wing Cloud Project" team, officially launched the Sky Wing Cloud project. In 2010, China Telecom applied experiments in its internal IT system. In 2011, China Telecom deployed commercial cloud center in three levels to provide services to its customers, and released its sky-wing cloud strategy and solutions to complete 6 field trials and resource pools in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Sichuan.

March 2012, China Telecom formed a cloud computing company in the whole group to provide Sky Wing cloud business, involving cloud host, cloud network, cloud storage, cloud database and cloud applications and other business products. The establishment of cloud computing company indicates that China Telecom has completed the pilot demonstration of cloud computing and entered a new stage of scale deployment and professional operation.

At the beginning of May 2012, China Telecom Cloud computing company began to pilot the first phase of cloud hosting and cloud storage products. As the industry's first carrier-level cloud host products, in the trial one week time, the user has been digested 30%. May 21, China Telecom also pioneered the launch of carrier-class cloud mobile phones, to the national cloud mobile phone users to provide GB-level personal storage and rich online applications. The supply of cloud phone marks the full deployment of China Telecom in the cloud, tube and end, and enters the cloud computing leap-forward development stage.

In addition to the active introduction of cloud computing services, China Telecom also joined France Telecom, in the cloud desktop, cloud service quality and other fields to participate in international standardization collaboration, with a view to leading the cloud computing standards, expand international influence. From the research and development leading to the standard first, from the professional operation to the scale of commercial, China Telecom has opened up a telecommunications operators of cloud computing ahead of the road.

IaaS serves as a forerunner

By analyzing the practice and development of at&t and Verizon in foreign telecom operators, China Telecom will be iaas as the only way to develop cloud computing, and make the "cloud computing as an opportunity to integrate IDC business Service system, relying on IDC business, using China Telecom in basic resources, The advantages of user base, capital and brand influence, and give priority to IaaS service "planning.

For PAAs, which is still in its early stages and has the characteristics of dense software technology, China Telecom has taken proactive steps to cooperate with mature platform providers and provide PAAs services in due course.

On the one hand, using PAAs's massive data processing ability to optimize the internal application, China Telecom, with the advantage of network and business resources, introduces the third party SaaS Development force through the PAAs platform, and introduces the personalized and differentiated SaaS application Service, which becomes the main provider of the domestic SaaS service.

On the other hand, compared with the strategic positioning above, China Telecom has planned the three levels of resource cloud (IaaS), Capability Cloud (PaaS) and Application Cloud (SaaS) for the Sky Wing cloud computing system framework. Resource cloud includes cloud host, cloud storage, etc., utilize China Telecom Cloud Data center, network and so on to provide the basic resources service for the customer. Ability Cloud is the combination of traditional communication ability and Internet application ability, through standardizing interface, open platform ability, providing development test running environment for software developers, aggregating and generating information application. The application cloud is based on China Telecom cloud computing resources and Intelligent Cloud network, the ability to open and industry information applications.

Both inside and outside, practice innovation

In addition to a clear strategic positioning and objectives, China Telecom also through the "internal and external, practical innovation," and other measures to ensure the effective implementation of the sky-wing cloud strategy.

"Internal" specific performance, China Telecom in its own IT system construction, business platform construction, office and other fields, widely used cloud computing. "External" specific performance in China Telecom deployment scale green energy-saving data center, by promoting the scale of application to create new development opportunities.

The concrete manifestation of "practical innovation" is four aspects: first, the scale of the application of cloud computing technology to enhance China Telecom's own operating efficiency, the cloud desktop technology widely used in the business hall, call center and other internal office, to create a green office environment; The second is to actively establish product innovation, to create differentiated applications, according to customer cloud application needs, Provide different service categories, such as government cloud, small and medium-sized enterprises cloud, education cloud, medical cloud, mobile phone cloud, financial cloud and so on; third, the integration of research and development resources, to achieve key breakthroughs, China Telecom integration of the three Research Institute of resources to set up a cloud computing center, collaborative research and development of cloud computing; To achieve a professional and intensive operation system.

Public Cloud in 2011 did not achieve large-scale development, its practice is rare, which in addition to technical problems, its operating model is also a major factor in the service provider's consideration. After all, at this stage of the domestic market, the emergence of public clouds or "new things", there are no past cases and experience can be referred to. However, some local operators have made a useful attempt in 2011, such as Shanghai Telecom to launch a "cloud storage" service.

It is reported that, "Twelve-Five" period, China Telecom will focus on heterogeneous cloud platform, network cloud bearer, mobile cloud applications, industry cloud applications and other topics, I believe that in the near future, cloud computing can fully integrate into the day-to-day production and life, as water, electricity, the same social public resources, centralized operation, plug Let Internet users enjoy more convenient network services.
