Although "cloud computing" is still a bit ahead for current Chinese companies, it is not an operational possibility. Hua Sheng Tiancheng Senior Vice President Yang Yancong recently in the interview with the network, said that cloud computing is not a very new concept, users currently realize cloud computing applications have certain operability. However, transferring from existing IT architectures to cloud computing requires a process that is constantly superimposed and evolving, not overnight. How to combine business and business models to the ground, the government and industry to how much support, IT infrastructure + infrastructure conditions and cloud computing security issues are the Chinese enterprises to apply the "cloud" facing the challenges.

How to combine business and business models to the ground, the government and industry to how much support, IT infrastructure + infrastructure conditions and cloud computing security issues are the Chinese enterprises to apply the "cloud" facing the challenges.
As China's first to put forward IT services products company, Huasheng business area covers It product services, application software development, system integration, and many other IT services business. In the past two years, Huasheng has accelerated its own business transformation, and in this process has been a forward-looking layout of the 3G era and cloud computing era business strategy, to become in China with the concept of "cloud computing" IT service providers.
"Our future cloud computing strategy, one of the core services of IT infrastructure, is to combine the cloud computing paradigm, and the second is to move from legacy industry applications, SOA, BI to the IT-hosted business model of cloud computing in terms of application software, SOA, and so on." "Yang Yancong said.

Move BI to Cloud
The classic case of traditional BI/DW is the story of "beer and diapers," a case in which a retailer's analysis of more than a year's original trading figures found that the most common product purchased with diapers was beer. Based on data analysis and market research results, the retailer put the two goods together for sale, sales have increased significantly. This is the actual application and value of BI/DW.
There is no doubt that business intelligence with data as the core, data will become the future of all walks of life enterprises or organizations of information assets, the value of data application for enterprises can produce immeasurable value. Now, as cloud computing and Saas/paas continue to heat up, the Saas/paas BI/DW and the BI in the cloud will be their future choice for companies that want to use BI/DW to boost their competitive edge but lack the appropriate conditions.
"In the future, we want to apply data analysis, data storage, data application, data mining, etc. to the architecture of cloud computing and transform it into services." Yang Yancong says Saas/paas BI/DW is using a better low-cost model to provide services like a data warehouse, while making delivery, investment, ease of use, and shorter software cycles. If the traditional BI/DW project operation mode turns to the cloud, in many ways, including cost, application, focus on the technology or tools, the application of the promotion, BI/DW attention to data quality, metadata management, master data management, if moved to cloud computing, the requirements will not be as high as the original, but more flexible, Also lowered the entry threshold for BI/DW.
In Yang Yancong's view, BI/DW is not advanced, BI/DW in some ways and cloud computing is very similar. After moving BI/DW to cloud computing, the application is promoted, but its stability cannot be neglected. More importantly, customers want to recognize the cloud computing model.
Opportunities and challenges from the cloud
In the BI/DW cloud layout, infrastructure services will be another entry point for future cloud computing services in addition to the application software. How to see the value of a new generation of system architecture for future it from the more traditional it architectures, and how to help users transition from a traditional architecture to a cloud computing platform through several major steps, is what Huasheng is currently considering and trying in the IT infrastructure.
From the perspective of industrial development, the popularity of Internet of things, triple-net convergence of the acceleration, or will be developed to cloud computing as the bearer of the model, so that the cloud and local resources to share, the entire business system elasticity, the resource scalability will bring great value, so the future of the cloud computing needs are self-evident.
At present, Hua Sheng Tiancheng's customers mainly from the government, telecommunications, postal, financial, energy and other industries. Yang Yancong said the company's business needs to change according to customer changes. To help users of these industries to build flexible system architecture, or set up a good application system platform, so that they can better carry out business, this is a business opportunity, but also to the company's business transformation brings certain challenges.
IT infrastructure services, SOA, BI/DW model is facing a watershed: on the one hand to the cloud, on the one hand, for many users of traditional models have not begun to try, so how to balance it development slow industry and IT development in the forefront of the industry, is also a challenge to China.
Yang Yancong that the current cloud computing is in a market without theoretical stage, due to the lack of specific business scenarios, enterprise cloud computing applications or will take a certain detour. The application of cloud computing needs a process of continuous superposition and evolution, especially, it needs to adapt to local conditions and different from "people".
