IBM China set up cloud computing division Cloud Road Map exposure

August 24, IBM in the "2011 Cloud Computing Peak Forum" announced the establishment of Greater China Region Cloud computing Division, and the first release of the development of cloud computing in China Roadmap.

It is reported that the new Cloud computing division will integrate IBM software, hardware, services, research and development and other departments of resources, play an integrated advantage, with IBM in the field of cloud computing expertise, industry insights, research and implementation capabilities, combined with IBM global customers and their own in the field of cloud computing best practice experience, To provide customers with customized End-to-end cloud computing solutions, with the government, customers, partners to help China to implement cloud computing deployment and application, and jointly promote the regional economy, industry ecology, business model, and it mode in the cloud era of transformation.

IBM said that cloud computing strategic planning cannot rely on a unilateral solution of software or hardware, but should be planned and implemented in an integrated manner from the perspective of strategic development. As one can provide across "infrastructure as a service (IaaS)", "Platform for Services (PaaS)," Software as a service (SaaS) "and" business process as a service (BPaaS) "Four major cloud computing infrastructure enterprises, IBM's cloud computing business capabilities from strategic planning, system design, platform integration , system implementation and extended maintenance to provide a full range of end-to-end solutions from consulting to service.

IBM pointed out that the application of cloud computing is related to the enterprise's future development direction and operational model of the major strategy, only in a certain part of the breakthrough, it is difficult to achieve the overall change and development needs, only the market insight, enterprise strategy and technology framework, such integration solutions for enterprises to achieve future cloud-oriented transformation. IBM is officially the best partner that can be trusted by this integrated customer, and IBM integrates internal resources to set up this department in order to better work with customers to promote the deployment of cloud computing strategies.

In addition, the IBM Greater China Cloud Computing division integrates the original cloud services teams within each business unit, it also brings together IBM's elite team in cloud computing, consisting of consultants, architects, solution managers, business development managers and industry sales professionals covering software, hardware products, and service consulting backgrounds. IBM Cloud Computing Division's expert services team is a full-service team covering software, hardware, IT project implementation, consulting services and research and development. The team is now gradually expanding.

"IBM's cloud computing is a global leader and a lot of successful practices in all walks of life," said Chanda, chairman and chief executive officer of IBM Greater China. In order to maximize the advantages of IBM, we have configured a good team, set up the division to better support the development of China's cloud computing industry and meet customer needs. In the future, IBM will be in China to innovate the leading cloud computing technology and infrastructure, combined with industry and enterprise characteristics to provide integrated services, and jointly promote a mutually-win cloud computing industry eco-circle. ”

It is understood that IBM has invested in 10 Cloud labs, 5 cloud centers and 12 backup clouds around the world. Many of IBM's own IT services are already cloud-computing. IBM's Blue Insight, for example, is the world's largest business analytics cloud, supporting the work of 110,000 employees within IBM, and calls for 2 billion minutes via cloud services. Of the world's Fortune 500, 80% use IBM's cloud computing technology, products, solutions or services. In 2010 alone, IBM implemented 2000 private cloud projects worldwide. In the common cloud, IBM built a cloud platform that already has 19 million users. IBM's Cloud project manager currently has 1 million virtual machines.

According to IDC estimates, cloud computing will have a global market of 42 billion dollars by 2012.

IBM based on the world's rich experience in cloud computing in this Conference on the development of China's cloud computing roadmap, that is: cloud computing must be brought about by the transformation opportunities to start, while highlighting the industry and enterprise characteristics, according to the region, industry and enterprise characteristics, choose their own cloud solution There are six phases in building the IT architecture for cloud computing, includes standardization, virtualization, dynamic architecture, automated deployment, all services, or service, business model innovation; Finally, it is necessary to fully realize that cloud computing is a step-by-step process, the need to choose their own path wisely, more experienced partners need.
