According to Ms. Guo Dojiao, platform has much experience in the field of High-performance computing and large-scale distributed shared computing-18 years of successful experience in the cluster and grid sectors, with more than 2,500 customers worldwide, and one of the leading vendors in the field of parallel computing and batch processing. And in the domestic market, platform has been with the government, business partners, academic partners and industry partners have made a lot of cooperation. In addition, from the industry perspective platform in the field of electronics, finance, manufacturing, energy, government/scientific research, telecommunications industry has been recognized by a large number of customers.

Based on the rankings of the "Private Cloud Solutions Market Overview" released by Forrester in the second quarter of 2011, a full-scale assessment of the global 15 mainstream cloud computing vendors ' solutions, based on ten key cloud technology standards, shows that Platform Computing cloud computing solution to the total score of 26 points, beyond IBM, HP, Microsoft and other companies, ranked first.

Platform co-founder Wang Jingwen introduced platform's technical outlook to reporters. The more computers, he says, the more complex management is for businesses. and platform's technology view is "many servers, computers as a computer to manage", this is platform technology and product development concept-oriented.

According to the introduction, platform early customers are mainly scientists, engineers, researchers, etc., the field is mainly focused on HPC high-performance computing field. After 2000 years, with the financial domain banks and other enterprises to use computer processing related business, the unified management and scheduling of multiple servers, the rising maintenance cost makes the bank and other customers become platform service object. Nowadays, with the complexity of business intelligence analysis, more and more applications can not be deployed and calculated on a single server, so platform has launched corresponding management products for enterprise data center, including creator center and so on. On the other hand, with the rise of cloud computing, the unified management of more and more virtual machines and physical machines has become a headache for enterprises, and Platform has launched a cloud management suite for cloud computing, including the Clogic suite.

Dr Wang stressed that cloud computing cannot be bought or made. Each user's application and business needs are different, so the heterogeneous resources must be consolidated into resource pools according to the customer's business type, then the service delivery in the form of cloud computing will be realized with flexible and unified dispatch.

So what is the difference between platform's proprietary cloud management platform and the products of virtualized software vendors such as VMware? Dr. Wang told reporters that platform management software can manage virtual machines and physical machines, while VMware's management platform can only manage its own virtual machines. In the unified management of the main road to become the first choice today, no doubt platform products are more popular with customers, more cost advantages. In addition, VMware does not support other virtual machine platforms, and can not provide sophisticated management requirements of large enterprises, but simply to do the corresponding management and disaster preparedness of virtual machines. Platform can manage, dispatch and fine business management of virtual machines of different vendors.

In addition, Dr. Wang also highlights the platform company's MapReduce products. It is reported that this is an enterprise-class distributed running engine for MapReduce applications, which can dispatch and manage mapreduce applications across the entire distributed File system cluster. Although there are many open source MapReduce solutions in the marketplace today, many organizations are reluctant to deploy open source distributed run engines for enterprise applications because they lack the ability to extend or manage large distributed environments and workloads and maintain service levels or avoid vendor lock-in.

Platform MapReduce, based on Platform's industry-leading experience in the field of distributed architecture management for nearly 20 years, has the following six key features: Enterprise-class objectivity and scalability, high resource utilization and shared functionality, high reliability, manageability, multiple application support, Open Distributed File system architecture.
