Dialogue ZTE Lu Abbin: Business enables the building of Agile cloud computing architecture

Since 2008, cloud computing has not only been the concept of the international IT industry, but also began to take root in the country, more and more IT vendors also make cloud computing as the focus area of business development.

As a business model of innovation, the initial cloud more focused on virtualization technology and infrastructure that is the integration of services, the core is the data center of the various resources to pool, and to provide users with the basic capabilities of services. But with the maturation of virtualization technology and the migration of core business, users will focus more on how to build a coordinated and unified management of the basic platform, at a higher level to achieve it and business application integration.

This resource pooling and business infiltration has spawned a new round of information technology industry changes. One of the obvious trends is the vertical integration of the strong manufacturers ' industrial chain, from server to storage to network, from virtualization platform to operating system to database middleware until the last core business application. This is the trend, but it has evolved two technical routes. To sum up, that is, "from schema to Application" or "from application to Schema". Of course, keeping an open mind during this process is critical, as users do not want to face the risk of a vendor lock-in.

In addition to vertical integration, another trend is the rise of new forces. These new forces have a more visible industry footprint, with a deep understanding of the business processes and infrastructure in a particular industry or field, and they are more able to look at cloud computing from the perspective of user application rather than IT infrastructure. Or, in other words, they may not be kings in every field, but they are the best experimenters.

ZTE can be regarded as such a business: it has a strong competitor in the IT infrastructure area, whether it is a network exchange or a server storage product, but it is very confident in the business application area because it has a deep understanding of industry users and can help them to make the cloud rain, Implementation of the cloud computing characteristics of the application delivery. How does it do that? In a recent 2011 China International information and Communication exhibition, C114 China Communications Network editor of ZTE Communications Vice President Lu Abbin conducted an interview, let us look at the best practice of the experimenter.
