Based on the actual analysis of the virtual storage requirements of China Unicom IDC customer Business, this paper shares the virtual storage and cloud computing model, offsite disaster preparedness, mobile application hosting service, and introduces China Unicom's demand for storage products from 5 aspects, such as storage consolidation and simplifying storage management.

Operator sharing two: It challenges and storage coping strategies and related initiatives

Tenne, project manager of China Mobile Group Business Support System department planning and Construction department, made the theme report of "China Mobile Business Support Network storage application analysis and research". Introduced the challenges facing it, China Mobile has started virtualization, cloud computing and other related technology research, and developed IT support network equipment energy-saving grading standards, The paper has defined the energy-saving grading index of the server, array, band library and fiber switch, and from the current situation and development direction of China Mobile Service Support Network, from the changing storage strategy, demand and application, analyze and study the support and solution of storage for business platform, Finally, it shares the application experience, storage integration route and introduction strategy of China Mobile in the storage area of business support network.

Ms. Wang Li, general manager of China Mobile Henan Company Business Support Center, delivered a keynote speech on "The challenge and thinking of the whole business operation on storage", the new challenge of 3G business to IT system data storage is interpreted from the perspective of whole business and micro storage capacity, storage performance, security and reliability. And explained her to the mobile phone payment, IT support, storage management and other aspects of development and thinking, focusing on cloud computing, storage virtualization, tiered storage, green storage and other aspects of the development of storage management, for participants, put forward their own storage service quality of the QoS of high concern, aroused everyone's resonance.

Operator sharing three: Typical applications of IP storage in operators

Wang, a senior expert of China Telecom Shanghai Research Institute, introduces the typical applications of IP storage in operators, introducing the hotspot issues such as peer-to-peer, content distribution system and cloud computing, and analyzing the background and development trend of macro storage technology, analyzing the requirements and characteristics of IP storage and operating in IDC, ICT, Media management and other operators of the typical application scenario, the last analysis of China Telecom storage status and demand, and put forward: the essence of the cloud is IT resources, IP storage is undoubtedly a good foundation for storage resources.

Storage industry Exchange: IBM, NetApp and other storage solutions for the communications industry

As one of the most popular communication equipment and solutions providers in China's communications industry,has been used in many provinces and cities for its storage products. At this symposium, in response to the current hot "cloud computing" issue, senior advisor Bell brought the theme of "The landing of the cloud" keynote speech, received by the operator representative of the thermal review, based on Oceanstor series of storage products and solutions, stand in the operator's operational perspective to solve data development, Multiple storage equipment management, energy saving and so on. The bell also focused on sharing several key features of cloud storage: high reliability, easy scalability, high performance, easy management, green energy saving, and introduced the typical case application of store in the operator,  storage products and solutions from the operator's perspective to solve the current data volume, cost, management and other challenges.

IBM Storage Technology Senior architect Wang at this conference focused on the IBM XIV Grid storage architecture, in terms of technology, performance, management, energy conservation, XIV is the future-oriented architecture technology and leverages modern information technology advances to provide the most competitive solutions for massive data storage with efficient architectures. Wang combines current storage trends to address the current status of a large customer's self-built storage system from the changes across the storage architecture, and describes IBM's innovative XIV Storage architecture: IBM Intelligent Storage.

As the founder and leader of the unified storage concept, NetApp general manager of Greater China, Mr. Chen Wenjun, recommends its Dynamic Data center solutions to help improve storage efficiency, combined with current economic conditions and changing needs of users. This solution quickly adapts to changing business requirements through the flexible scalability provided by the cloud storage architecture, which improves storage efficiency and lowers overall costs. Mr. Chen Wenjun from the excellent performance and market share of NetApp in recent years, to the enterprise culture, to its Ngtapp solution, unified storage architecture and customer application cases, it can be said that using the least input to obtain stable and reliable storage and manage the most data is the source of the rapid development of NetApp.

As for the evolution of storage technologies and markets over the next 5 years, Gartner's chief China storage analyst, Jin, at this symposium released Gartner's insights into storage technology and architecture evolution and the latest results in market research. It is suggested that carrier users should start with the change of requirements, integrate the new technologies such as automatic compact configuration technology and cloud storage to formulate future storage strategies, and expound cloud computing and cloud storage.

3G the integration of it and communication brings far-reaching changes in the context of a full business operator

It has never been as important as it is now, with the further development of it and communication, communication it has not only become a broad market for the development of IT industry, at the same time it has become an important driver of communication development, this seminar as "China's communications Industry It series forum" One of the special topics, By the major operators of it-related people's enthusiastic attention, a total of more than 150 attendees attended the seminar. The symposium in the current situation in a pragmatic, three operators put forward the actual demand and problems, storage enterprises combined with their own situation to launch flagship technology and products, research institutions combined with the changing market and demand, put forward the future storage technology and architecture development trend. The parties speak freely, interactive session of the audience enthusiastically asked questions, applause constantly.

The symposium was organized and organized by the people's post and telecommunications newspaper, cnii China Information Industry Network and Epwey. It is reported that the organizing Committee continues to pay attention to the communications industry focus on the latest technologies and hotspots in the storage industry for the development of communications and storage industry to provide a professional exchange platform.
