Jianfeng: Cloud computing Standard research can lay a good foundation for international applications

The significance of cloud computing standards

Standards are the commanding heights of industrial development, and for the cloud computing of strategic emerging industries, speeding up cloud computing standards is of great strategic significance to promote the development of cloud computing technology, industry and application in our country.

From the national strategic level

Standards have increasingly become a central element of national Development strategy resources and international competitiveness. Cloud computing conforms to the current global scope of integration of computing resources and service capacity needs, is the current international Information Technology competition strategic commanding heights. Therefore, whether to master the independent cloud computing standards will affect the future of our country in the field of international information technology competitiveness.

From the Industrial development level

The establishment of cloud computing standards is conducive to guide the cloud computing industry reasonable layout and healthy development. At present, all levels of government in China are building cloud computing center, all over the country are promoting the corresponding cloud computing program, but we gradually found that the cloud computing development there is a lack of top-level design, to play a synergistic advantage and other issues, does not meet the cloud computing to maximize the sharing of resources, flexible use characteristics Therefore, there is no standard, cloud computing industry can not be standardized healthy development, it is difficult to form the scale of industry, clustering and sustainability.

From the perspective of enterprise application

For the service provider, a unified cloud computing standard can standardize the services it provides. For the enterprise that buys the service, it is easy for the enterprise to choose the cloud service that it needs. Therefore, the development of cloud computing standards through the cloud service providers and cloud services to buy the bottleneck between the enterprise, can quickly promote cloud computing in the enterprise in-depth application, play the core advantages of cloud computing, to provide the greatest value for enterprises.

Research status of cloud computing standards

Foreign research Status:

At present, Global cloud computing standardization work has been launched, the world has more than 30 standards organizations announced to join the ranks of cloud computing standards. These standards organizations can be roughly divided into 3 types:

Traditional IT standards organizations or industrial alliances, represented by DMTF, OGF, SNIa, have focused on grid standardization and are now working on the standardization of Cloud computing.

Standard organization in traditional telecommunications or Internet areas represented by ITU, ISO, IEEE, IETF, etc.

To CSA, OCC, CCIF, etc. as the representative of the emerging standards organizations.

Representative of the Cloud Computing Standards organization and research content:

Domestic research status

The standardization work of cloud computing is one of the important basic work to promote the development of cloud computing technology, industry and application, and the construction of industry informatization. From 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Informatization will promote and promote cloud computing technology research and Development, industry and standardization work as one of the key work, and organize China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization, The SOA standard Working Group of the National Information Technology Standardization Technical Committee and the Information Technology Service Standards Working Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information technologies initiated the research and planning of cloud computing related technology and service standards. At present, the basic standards of cloud computing, PAAs platform specification, cloud data storage and Management Series standards, flexible cloud computing Service Interface standards and other related standards have been preliminarily developed.

Methodology of cloud computing standard research

Current status of research on domestic and foreign standards

To investigate the current situation of the research and formulation of cloud computing standards by relevant standards organizations and enterprises at home and abroad, and to draw on their research results, and to lay a good foundation for the application of cloud computing in international applications.

Organization for the determination of standard studies

The organization that determines cloud computing standards research and development is coordinated by the relevant national departments, including the enterprises that provide cloud computing services, the enterprises that purchase cloud computing services, and the International Advanced cloud computing services. In the process of making standards, fully consider the cloud computing industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises, in-depth study of the portability of cloud services, interoperability and security, in order to develop a scientific, reasonable and easy to promote the cloud computing standards.

Determine the content of the standard study

Determining the content of cloud computing standards research is a prerequisite for the research and formulation of cloud computing standards. Based on three models of cloud computing applications (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), the main research content of cloud computing standards should cover:

Cloud computing interoperability and integration standards, including interoperability and integration interface standards between different clouds.

Cloud computing Service Interface standards and application development standards, including cloud computing and business level exchange standards.

The interface standard between different levels of cloud computing, including the interface standards between architecture layer, platform layer and application software layer.

Cloud computing business metrics, including standards for improving asset utilization, resource optimization and performance optimization criteria, and criteria for evaluating performance-price ratios.

Cloud computing architecture governance standards, including design, planning, architecture, modeling, deployment, management, monitoring, operational support, quality management, and service level agreements.

Cloud computing security and privacy standards, physical and logical standards related to data integrity, availability, confidentiality.

Plan for the determination of standard studies

After identifying the organization and research content of cloud computing standards research, we should develop the cloud computing standards research and development plan, the members of the organization in a reasonable division of labor, according to the Cloud Computing standard research plan to work, to the cloud computing standards research and development work effectively landing.

The results of periodical release research

The periodic dissemination of cloud computing standards research results, can make the cloud industry chain of different enterprises continue to pay attention to the cloud computing standards of research, and these enterprises can make relevant comments and suggestions, so as to facilitate the cloud computing standards in the research and development process is relatively perfect, but also conducive to future cloud computing standards.

Recommendations on cloud computing standards

Government-led, business participation

The government is leading the research on cloud computing standards, strengthening the overall planning, doing the top design, creating a good environment, and increasing standards and policy research. Enterprises actively participate in cloud computing standard braking work, the pilot demonstration, strengthen cloud computing technology and Service model innovation, clear standardization needs and market and research direction.

Focus on effectiveness and promote

The study of cloud computing standards should establish a clear time plan, on the basis of integrated planning, phased, sub-batches in the time of the reservation developed. At the same time, the relevant enterprises in the country vigorously promote to promote standards of continuous improvement.

International docking, unified standard

At the same time, in the cloud computing standards research, we should constantly communicate with international organizations so that the standards can be unified globally and avoid disparate situations. Only in this way can we maximize the synergy advantages of cloud computing and bring greater value to society.
