Cloud computing strategy period

As an active driver of cloud computing, operators will also speed up their pilots from both inside and outside in 2012 respectively. On the one hand, by building IT "resource pools," operators will try to build and use private clouds in IDC rooms; on the other hand, operators in some regions will gradually commercialize public-owned clouds - by adopting cloud computing Way of combining government and business.

BOSS system will accommodate more private clouds

As the "leader" of cloud computing, the private cloud has been widely recognized in the domestic market in 2011. The goal of private cloud "energy saving and low consumption" has also made the construction of the entire hardware and software relatively simple and independent. Make private cloud a "first step" for many businesses trying cloud computing. In this regard, operators are also experienced.

Li Rongsheng, from Tianjin Mobile Network Management Center, told reporters that in the past year, the mobile group company put forward the idea of ​​cloudized BOSS system, while the mobile branch offices around the operation support departments are constantly trying cloud computing, virtualization and other new The adoption of technology, such as the "virtualization" implementation of the network management system at the host level, has now become a universal status quo in the field of mobile network management support around the world. In 2012, the network management system will also strengthen the establishment of its background system "storage resource pool" and "platform resource pool".

However, this seemingly simple private cloud in fact there are still many technical problems. For example, the widely used integrated database of all-in-one devices such as operators is a stumbling block to building a private cloud. Operators need to focus on the current binding status of servers, storage and platform software in the later period, Technology, to re-rationalize the allocation of resources.

Public cloud "small step slow"

Public cloud in 2011 did not achieve large-scale development, the practice of cases are rare, of which in addition to technical problems, the mode of operation is also a major factor in service providers to consider. After all, in the current stage of the domestic market, the appearance of public cloud is still a "new thing", and there are no past cases and experiences for reference. However, some local operators still made useful attempts in 2011, such as the launch of Shanghai Telecom's "cloud storage" service, and Guizhou Mobile launched public services for ordinary consumers in government, healthcare and tourism sectors.

It can be seen that the nationwide wireless and wireline network is a solid foundation for operators to carry out public services. In order to ensure profit margins, the joint launch of public services with government and social agencies will be a priority for operators to try public cloud. Become a strong reference for other operators to promote "public cloud" services in 2012
