From the Internet to cloud computing, Beijing to build "smart city"

In the past ten years, Beijing's development strategy has realized the change from "digital Beijing" to "wisdom Beijing", and behind this, it is the quiet change of the idea and the rapid pace of development.

1999, Beijing proposed the "digital Beijing" construction goal, to 2010 has been basically achieved. From 2010 onwards, as the support of "intelligent Beijing" development, for the urban information technology into one of the wings of strategic emerging industries, China's cloud computing industry ushered in new opportunities for development.

In the construction of the "digital Beijing" era, China has not mastered the core industry chain in the two changes in the information industry pc and traditional Internet. In the construction of "wisdom Beijing" era, Beijing seize the opportunity to become the world's first to upgrade the cloud computing industry as a regional strategy of one of the cities. This year, Beijing formed the south has also Zhuang, north of Zhongguancun, the two major cloud computing base pattern. Jiang Guiping, deputy director of the Municipal Commission, explained that the southern China Cloud Industrial park is mainly hardware manufacturing, and Zhongguancun cloud computing industry base to play a research and development advantage, focusing on the application of cloud computing services.

From faster to more "smart"

"Six or seven years ago, home Internet use ADSL, then bandwidth 512K, is already the fastest!" Watch the news, play games can also, like today to download the movie while playing online games, it is not thought of. "Live in Tian Tong Yuan District Li Xinghua memories, then love to play online games he often run to internet cafes."

As of 2010, Beijing has achieved 2 trillion broadband coverage of the city, 20 gigabit broadband access to 3.35 million users, coverage reached 50%, the number of optical fiber to 2 million households, coverage reached 28%;3g network comprehensive coverage of urban and rural, wireless city construction at the beginning of the scale. By the end of this year, the city will achieve a full range of 20 trillion broadband coverage, new fiber to cover more than 1 million households.

"Broadband speed is the" wisdom of Beijing's development premise. Because no matter how High-tech cloud backstage, application, the Internet of things, must have the data high speed ' run up ' can come in handy. "CICC Data Systems Co., Ltd. Senior vice President Li Jiang said.

At the same time, some of the information services that have been unthinkable before are realized: mobile Internet traffic is abnormal, customers take a few seconds from the huge database to identify abnormal traffic. A few years ago, such inquiries took hours or even days; stay at the hotel, the corner of the "intelligent self-service terminal" can not only easily adjust the lighting, curtains, room temperature and television, but also the energy of custom-made travel services; When the patient sits on the ambulance, the first aid platform will quickly collect the patient's vital signs data, the cause of the disease, the illness description , emergency vehicle location and other information feedback to the relevant hospital, so that the doctor to intervene in advance first aid ...

Xu, deputy director of electronic and administrative affairs, said that these more and more "smart" information services, thanks to the "digital Beijing" to the broadband network construction, but also from the "digital Beijing" to "smart Beijing" transformation promotion.

"Wisdom Beijing," said the popular point is to bring convenience to the people. Compared to the digital era pay attention to the network infrastructure construction, ' Wisdom Beijing ' solves is the human question, pays attention to the information technology intelligent Fusion. ”

Put "cloud" wings on the city

The "cloud", a strange and even mysterious name, is one of the hottest concepts in the Internet world today.

"When cloud computing started, there was a lot of skepticism about when China could have a cloud-computing company," he said. "In 2007, Yao Hongyu from Yahoo headquarters in the United States, and entered the base of the cloud, many people in the industry are still skeptical:" China has never done such a thing, you can do? ”

5 years later, Yao Hongyu CEO of the Friends of the system has been successfully to include China Mobile, the state grid, including a number of enterprises to provide cloud computing solutions and technical services, many traditional enterprises heard he is engaged in cloud computing, but also often ask a few more words. "Unlike the U.S., which relies mainly on Google, Amazon and other market giants, China's cloud-computing boom, the government is not." "Yao Hongyu said.

2010, the Municipal commission issued the "Beijing Xiangyun Project" Action Plan, the first to establish cloud computing as Beijing's strategic emerging industry breakthrough. Located in the village of Beijing cloud base and two kilometers away of the CICC data public cloud completed backstage, complete cloud industry chain required strategic layout of the curtain.

In Li Jiang, Yao Hongyu and other cloud industry practitioners, it is in the "wisdom of Beijing" and "Xiangyun Project" The impetus of the strategy, cloud computing can be quickly landed in Beijing. On the contrary, cloud computing is also giving the city "wisdom" wings.

In 2009, Li Jiang returned as one of the first entrepreneurs to enter China's cloud computing field. Today, his CICC Data System Co., Ltd., carrying the country's first built into use of the public cloud backstage, can support tens of thousands of servers to run, to achieve huge database "second level" query services.

"Beijing speed" overtaking the curve

Every Wednesday morning, China's first "cloud Server" supplier World Super Cloud Company (hereinafter referred to as "Super Cloud") Vice President Dong Xin will be sitting in the cloud base 7 floor meeting room. However, the meeting object is not an internal employee, but the head of a brother enterprise in the cloud base. "In the ' cloud era ', effectively communicating with these brothers, we can first know what customers want at the other end of the cloud." ”

2011, 25 of the city independent research and development and production of custom cloud server in the cloud base is also offline. From the product concept to the first server off the line, and then to batch release series of new products, the speed of the super cloud is quite alarming-the first Super cloud server from the concept to trial production, only 8 months, and from the first server offline to batch release series of new products, only spent 3 months.

Due to focus on high-density cloud server development, production, and HP, IBM and other cloud server manufacturers, the Super Cloud on the latest chip technology, market trends react faster than the international IT giants, "the same performance, specifications of the server, we can 3 months ahead of HP production." ”

Dong Xin attributed it to the "borrowing force" of the Brothers ' enterprises in the base.

When customizing a cloud server, you need to tune the performance of servers running different applications to the needs of your customers. In the cloud base, the docking between the super cloud and the application software enterprise is very convenient. "The office is in the same building, even if there is no weekly meeting, the usual also bowed head see, tacit understanding and trust virtually cultivated." "Dong Xin said.

Cloud computing large data and other emerging technologies to fall into practice, rely on a specific technology difficult to meet customer needs, the formation of industrial agglomeration, to form an end-to-end innovative service capabilities. Today, the Municipal commission, Beijing Economic and technological development zone and broadband Capital jointly created the Beijing Cloud base has more than 20 enterprises settled in, involving cloud services integrators, cloud operating systems, middleware, cloud server, terminal applications and other enterprises, the cloud industry chain gradually formed and improved.

"The traditional internet age, the most critical innovation has been firmly in the hands of Americans, and the different cloud computing, this is a new industry, we stand at the same starting line, is to achieve a good opportunity to overtake the corners." Yao Hongyu said that in most of the projects that friends provide services, there are many international giants such as Oracle and IBM, who have been successful in competing with technology and services "PK". Not long ago, friends have successfully received a cloud computing project in China Mobile solutions provider identity.
