Innovate Cloud Platform, realize development Center "cloud" optimization

As a new generation of information technology and business model, cloud computing has become an important development direction of the global IT industry. For IBM China Development Center, cloud computing is also one of the key development strategies for the next five years. IBM China Development Center in the past because of high-speed expansion, the acquisition of a large number of hardware and computing resources, dispersed in a number of departments, the centralized management of resources is low, the use and configuration of the situation is uneven. From 2009 onwards, after the internal resources of the research and analysis, the IBM China Development Center to gradually promote the development center of the "cloud" transformation, hoping to use its own cloud computing technology, to achieve internal resource optimization management, simplify deployment and enhance security.

To this end, IBM China Development Center in the protection of day-to-day operations, while building a "universal cloud" as the core of innovative cloud computing platform for development testing, and to expand to build the IBM Tivoli SmartCloud Provisioning solution based on the "Hslt Cloud" (High-scale Low-touch Cloud) for rapid, automated deployment of resources. Instead of wasting a lot of time building the environment, developers focus on development and testing itself. At the same time, IBM has built a "desktop cloud" for IBM partner engineers to participate in product development with the help of clients.

At present, the introduction of this series of innovative cloud technology has brought remarkable effect to IBM China Development Center. Take the Tivoli product development team as an example, the team in the introduction of the "Hslt Cloud", the system build time from the original at least 120 minutes reduced to about 5 minutes, completely replace the original 356 old servers. In addition to the highly demanding agile development of time, the Hslt cloud also supports routine regression testing, upgrade testing, and endurance testing in this development model.

Mr. Conjecture, senior manager of IBM China Development Center, said: "At present, IBM China Development Center ' HuanYu Cloud ' platform has been able to support more than 4800 virtual machines. In the future, our development team will continue to cultivate innovative development for industry needs, enhance IBM software capabilities, help global enterprises achieve more brilliant business benefits, and jointly create ' wisdom of the Earth '. ”
