From back-end technology to front-end operation of Telecom cloud computing million Arrow Qi

China Telecom is about to set up a dedicated cloud computing company, governance management of the country's cloud computing business, from the back-end of the technical preparation, to the front-end operation management, as well as the mastery of standard discourse, China Telecom in the cloud computing industry has been holding a "million Arrows Qi fa" kam Bag card.

China Telecom in the layout of the big strategy has always been "fast, accurate, effective," the technique is known, this time in the cloud is no exception.

Following the August 31, 2011 Launch of the Sky Wing cloud computing strategy, China Telecom concentrated its efforts, less than a year, in technical research, standard-setting, service preparation and so on have been ahead of competitors.

"To do, or not to do?" may be faced with the possibility of failure, but do not do, can only accept the fate of being a plumber. In the new-born cloud computing, China Telecom did not hesitate to choose the former, and hope to rely on strong network resources and data Center resource advantages, to get ahead. A Chinese telecoms insider told reporters.

Cloud services launched this year

According to the reporter understand, China Telecom will be in the middle of this year before the launch of cloud host, cloud storage, such as a series of Sky cloud products, to fulfill last August 31, the launch of the Sky Wing cloud computing strategy commitments.

Prior to this, Shanghai Telecom, a subsidiary of China Telecom, had launched a "financial cloud" service to provide IAAS services such as cloud hosting for foreign banks or banks from the Chinese Taiwan region. Yangjie, general manager of China Telecom, said 2012, China Telecom wants to achieve the goal of "providing high-performance virtual host 20,000, storage capacity up to 20,000 GB".

In less than a year of publishing a cloud-computing strategy, China Telecom will be able to provide cloud services to its users, thanks to its long and ample preparation for cloud computing.

2005, China Telecom for small and medium-sized enterprises to provide comprehensive information application services, this is the first "software is the Service (SaaS)" embryonic. 2009, China Telecom set up "Wing Cloud Plan" project team to promote cloud computing strategy, and in Shanghai, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi and other Land cloud computing field test.

After the cloud computing strategy was released in August 2011, China Telecom integrated its three research institutes to set up a cloud computing research Center, which is responsible for the overall strategy, prospective research, technical specifications and testing of China Telecom's cloud computing development. The Cloud data center management platform, which plays an important role in cloud service architecture, is developed by the Cloud Computing Research Center and is currently being tested in the Cloud Computing Research Center.

Cloud Data center management platform is composed of cloud host management platform, cloud storage access platform and host adapter platform, which is used to coordinate and allocate virtual machine resources from different vendors.

Reporter learned that the current server and storage and other hardware equipment has been deployed, once the Cloud data center management Platform Test completed, China Telecom will be able to provide users with cloud services.

At the same time, the data center as the basis of cloud computing, China Telecom accelerated the pace of data center construction. At the end of 2011, China Telecom invested 5 billion yuan in the establishment of "China Telecom Cloud Computing Information Park" in Hohhot, building a cloud computing center, IDG Data Center, call center, warehousing, office and life function as one of the bases. The first phase of the project started in 2012 and was completed in 2013.

A Chinese telecoms person told reporters that operators have a wealth of network resources, data center resources and a large number of enterprise users and individual user groups, they want to make cloud computing as a set of resource leasing, platform services and software development in one of the cloud ecosystem. This is also in line with Wang to China Telecom "new three" positioning.

Standard leader

Standards have always been a battleground. At present, internationally renowned it giants and telecom operators are actively robbing the cloud computing standard discourse. China Telecom, from the establishment of enterprise standards to start step by step to industry standards and even international standards.

It is reported that the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) of the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunications Standardization Organization established in 2010 ITU-T Cloud Computing focus group. The group focuses on the telecommunications industry Network, security, service needs and other issues, to enable cloud computing services and applications to provide support for telecommunications networks. The group's key members are Cisco, Microsoft, France Telecom and so on.

Reporter learned that China Telecom United France Telecom, in the cloud desktop, cloud service quality and other fields to participate in international standardization collaboration, hope to combine their own advantages leading cloud computing standards, expand international influence.

Recently, the media disclosed that China Telecom will set up a dedicated cloud computing company to govern the management of the country's cloud computing business. From the back-end of the technical preparation, to the front-end operation management, as well as the mastery of the standard voice, China Telecom in the cloud computing industry has been holding a "million Arrows Qi" Kam Bag card, other operators are to take the "flash", or rather lose blood to accumulate strength? everything.

Industry chain Opportunities

Millions of high-performance virtual host cake

Data Center as the foundation of cloud computing, when the sky Wing cloud computing strategy was released, China Telecom said it will rely on the national Data Center infrastructure resources, unified construction covering the country, the industry's first-class cloud computing data center, "Twelve-Five" during the period of millions of high-performance virtual host capacity. Doubtless, the sky Wing cloud brings the attractive cake for the industrial chain. Building a large data center requires at least tens of millions of investment, down to air-conditioning, UPS, cabinets and other downstream vendors, to the server, storage and switch and other major equipment manufacturers, will benefit from.

At the same time, China Telecom hopes to reshape its own IT support system through cloud computing, the group vigorously promote the desktop cloud, plans to move the boss system to the x86 server based on the cloud platform, these have sent a good signal to the industry chain.

At present, including IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, VMware, Huawei and other manufacturers have participated in China Telecom's cloud computing projects, with the gradual expansion of cloud computing, the telecommunications market will become a major market for them to seize the cloud computing industry.
