The impact of the Internet from the financial, manufacturing, chain-like enterprises to all sectors of the spread. "Active Internet change is to find death, waiting for the internet impact is to die," How to not die? Traditional enterprises need to answer this question, the traditional enterprise information departments need to answer this question, because the Internet impact on traditional industries first reflected in this sector, Suningyun Shangyun Technology Development Center Director Jinlong said, the completion of Internet transformation is no less difficult than the entrepreneurial itself.

Not long ago, the 2014 Internet Application Technology Summit (Iats) 2014 was held in Guangzhou by the Wave group and sponsored by the Guangdong Provincial Network Merchants Association. NetEase, Sohu, Qihoo and other Internet enterprises, the technical leader of the Internet transformation of the more successful traditional enterprises, such as suning, peace, cool faction, together to explore the traditional enterprise information sector to the Internet transformation problems and solutions.

The informatization of traditional enterprise's Internet reform

In the 2013, the rapid development of new Internet business form, financial, manufacturing, chain-type enterprises are the first impact of the traditional areas, impact spread to other areas is only a matter of time. The Cross-border integration of traditional industry and Internet makes every traditional enterprise face the challenge of Internet transformation. For traditional enterprises, the transition to the Internet means that the organization structure, business strategy and other aspects of innovation, Wave Group vice President Wang Hongli said that the information sector will be the first to face the big challenges, its work not only to build ERP, CRM and other internal systems to support the enterprise's own business processes, We should also build an open interactive and business platform for the Internet, and realize the service of external users.

However, the Enterprise Informatization department in the actual transformation, facing the problem will be more complex and diverse. Suning in the Internet transformation is more decisive, but also at present less successful transformation of enterprises. Suning in 2013 made clear to the Internet retail as the main body, the line under the model and open platform for the wings of the Internet road map, and in February 2013, issued a notice that because of the changes in the operating form of the enterprise changed its name to Suningyun Group Co., Ltd.

Suningyun Shangyun Technology Development Center Director Jinlong said, Suning now has 1600 stores, if it is 365 days a year, 1000 people a day to patronize a store, the number of visitors to browse is 550 million, and now the electric business is almost "every day will promote", a short holiday a day or two, the site PV (page views), UV (independent visitors) will reach tens of millions. "How to deal with this change, I think, is a big challenge for the entire infrastructure, including the entire internal company process," he said. ”

Mixed clouds may be the way to crack

COFCO Group I bought a network of technical leaders said that the traditional enterprise information transformation should be fully adopted cloud computing, large data, such as new generation of information technology, the construction of enterprise mixed cloud support enterprise business of the Internet transformation, the specific is the private cloud support internal business, public cloud support E-commerce, online marketing and other work. Then gradually two cloud connectivity integration, forming a unified cloud platform, to achieve the unified management of all business systems and data and scheduling.

Mixed cloud model with traditional enterprise characteristics, the technical problems involved are very complicated, including data center construction, infrastructure deployment, public cloud and private cloud connectivity, private cloud is essentially a closed WAN on the enterprise-level information services, but the public cloud is more complex, the construction model is completely different. "Suning Group has a number of E-commerce platforms, such as red children, have independent social, financial, online business content, etc., such a complex system, to the unified infrastructure level of unified support, which is a very big challenge for us," said Jinlong.

Wang Hongli, vice president of Wave group, said that the construction of corporate public cloud required the intervention and support of Third-party program providers, especially at the infrastructure level. Wave is China's leading cloud computing solutions and service providers, is the industry's only master 32-way host, 8-way server, Cloud OS data Center operating system, the new configuration of the server and micro-module data center, such as the most comprehensive cloud data center product line manufacturers, can provide enterprises with various public clouds, Cloud computing infrastructure solutions for private and hybrid clouds.

At present, Suning, Cofco I buy nets and other traditional enterprises in the wave of help, has completed the electric business system platform to build and expand, for the enterprise overall business of the Internet transformation laid the foundation. Among them, suning expansion is in the 6.18 major promotions before the emergency, the big promotional orders grew 350%, high concurrent orders request, the expansion of the platform after the performance of outstanding.

Public Cloud needs customization

The Informatization Department of Enterprise is not unfamiliar with the construction of private cloud, but the construction of public cloud is very unfamiliar. Private cloud typically employs large servers, virtualization technologies, and resource scheduling technologies, where sophisticated solutions are available for purchase, while public cloud construction employs stacks and clusters of large, medium and small servers, which are rarely available.

More importantly, the public cloud needs large-scale device deployment, and the generic product does not meet the needs of the public cloud very well. The firm's need for overall cost needs to be realized from a deeper level of technology. He said Suning now buys more servers a year than the sum of the previous years. Even if the cost is only reduced by 1%, the total amount is also very considerable, to achieve the overall cost of fine control, without the participation of manufacturers is difficult to achieve. NetEase technical director said, NetEase Mailbox in 2008 before the adoption of the server + storage of the general mode, but to 2009 years, the distributed storage technology has matured, NetEase's technical team to the storage architecture to migrate to the distribution of technology, need a more scalable, more cost-effective an open storage method, The tide has solved this technical problem for NetEase.
