Rongzhifa Biological Cloud is just the beginning

In 2010, China's bio-industry data center IT market reached 2.095 billion yuan, a 17.7% increase from 2009, a study by Congdengbei, a market research institute, found. In the next 3 years, with the rapid development of the bio-industry market, the investment in the construction and service of the bio-industry data center will increase linearly, and the compound growth rate will reach 48.78%. Beijing Rong-Lian Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Rong) by virtue of the unique biological cloud construction, in the bio-industry data Center market opened a blue sea market.

Find a breakthrough

Liu Baohua: All IT vendors are chasing cloud computing. By virtue of biological cloud, animation cloud, Rongzhifa in the cloud applications to achieve a huge breakthrough. What are the core strengths of RONGZHIFA in terms of cloud computing?

Wang Donghui: Rongzhifa is positioned as a data center solution and service provider. In the current cloud computing boom, we will be to provide cloud computing solutions and services, unless there are special opportunities and mature plans, otherwise we will not be rushed into the cloud service operators.

Rongzhifa has three core strengths in cloud computing. First, technical advantages. While cloud computing emphasizes the idea of changing everything into a service, its essence is a continuation of existing IT technologies and solutions. The solutions and implementation services we have accumulated in our traditional business can help us achieve the difficult cloud computing design and implementation. For example, we transform our professional high-performance parallel computing solutions into high-performance parallel computing solutions based on virtual machines, and are used in parallel computing automation deployments of biological cloud and animation cloud. Second, the comprehensive service advantage. Cloud computing includes all aspects of data center infrastructure building, dynamic virtualization management of computing power, storage and data management to application customization development, and more products and manufacturers involved. RONGZHIFA long-term development of integrated services and integration capabilities, as well as with the first-line manufacturers a wide range of cooperation, support our business development in the cloud computing field. Third, customer advantage. Rongzhifa main customers are large and medium-sized enterprises and institutions, they have advanced it concept, in it construction has sufficient funds. These customers are the forerunners of cloud computing. To establish a strategic partnership with customers is the way to win the Rongzhifa.

Liu Baohua: Now the whole industry is talking about how to make the cloud fall. The first place for a cloud to fall is to choose a foothold. Why did Rongzhifa choose to use the biological cloud as a breakthrough?

Wang Donghui: As one of the seven strategic emerging industries in the national strategic emerging industry planning, the future development prospect of bio-industries is very broad. At present, the global biological industry is developing rapidly, new scientific research results and new applications are emerging. All this is not inferior to the Internet industry of that year. Rongzhifa has been fortunate enough to have been providing IT services to the leading agency in the field--the big China gene--for years.

The Huada Genomics Institute is one of the leading genomics research centers in the world. Huada gene combines high throughput sequencing technology with bio-information analysis technology based on High-performance computing, and applies these technologies to the fields of medicine, health, modern agriculture and new bio-energy rapidly. Rongzhifa's leadership in biotechnology and its strength in information technology have made the two sides work together on biological clouds today.

Genetic sequencing produces a lot of data, and data can be even harder to move over the Internet, and ordinary customers don't have as many storage facilities to store large amounts of data locally. This changes the old pattern of the previous data to be followed by application. Now, the user must adopt the new mode that the application follows the data. Rongzhifa together with the Huada gene has done a lot of low-level technology development, including the management of massive data, management of processing processes and how to make a variety of different biological processing software in parallel computing environment to achieve higher operational efficiency.

Rongzhifa and Huada gene have the same ideal, namely the transformation of inventions into customer value. We hope that through innovative service model to promote the industrial revolution, in the service of society at the same time realize the value of companies and individuals.

Liu Baohua: We see a number of cases that provide high-performance computing clouds, and vendors are simply providing customers with strong computing power, but they don't provide relevant applications. Besides providing higher computational performance for the RONGZHIFA gene, does it also provide relevant applications?

Wang Donghui: Bio-Cloud computing is a continuous project, which includes both computing, storage and other IT infrastructure, including data management platform, application software platform and process management platform. Biological information analysis includes at least the analysis of proteins and nucleic acids. The mathematical models of these analyses are mainly based on probability theory, including sequence alignment, Markov chain and hidden horse model, phylogenetic tree, RNA structure analysis and other algorithm models. The user needs to compute the sequence data from the sequencing instrument, and find the useful information through the above algorithm.

In bio-cloud computing, we offer applications such as a remote application access system called Virtual Labs (Vlab), a platform for bio-application software and process integration, a cloud data management and high-speed transmission module, and an automated scheduling module for high-performance parallel computing.

For example, the virtual laboratory services of customers to various types of scientific research institutions mainly, the goal is to provide cloud services to the outside world without making major changes to existing application patterns; The goal of the integration of biological application software is to improve productivity and service industrialization through modularization and standardization. Cloud data management is the focus of both sides ' research, Its goal is to create a life science in the field of Google, and the national gene database for the typical application model, to serve the future.

Improve delivery capability

Liu Baohua: A cloud solution and service provider should be innovative in business models in addition to strong technical capabilities. How does Rongzhifa view the innovation of cloud business model?

Wang Donghui: Rongzhifa relies entirely on the market-oriented mode of operation and is no exception in the cloud computing business. Rongzhifa through the continuous expansion of the market, mining customer resources, not only to ensure the continuous expansion of business, but also maintain a positive cash flow.

Recently, one of our customers is ready to deploy a cloud storage system on a large scale. As we get excited, we spend a lot of time interacting with our users to understand their real needs and patterns of operation.

From the current situation, the user's demand for private cloud is relatively strong. Many large enterprises have implemented further integration of IT resources and applications within the enterprise by deploying private cloud architectures.

Data from decentralization to concentration, and from the focus to further integration and optimization, the final transition to the cloud, this is the inevitable trend of development.

Rongzhifa is concerned about the relevance of the project in terms of business operations, and each cloud project for customers is independent and interrelated. For example, Vlab in the biological cloud, as a remote application delivery system, can also be applied to military, aerospace and other areas of high data security requirements. Vlab can help customers achieve data and application in the data center of concentration and isolation. For example, high speed network transmission system is a snake-like application.

Rongzhifa is more concerned with data-related businesses than with process-related businesses, as well as in choosing the operating model for cloud computing.

Liu Baohua: Cloud computing is a tough test for vendors ' ability to deliver. What are the best ways for Rongzhifa to improve service delivery capability?

Wang Donghui: The ability to deliver is a big challenge for the business.

To further enhance the delivery capacity of the enterprise, Rongzhifa has developed a practical strategy. First, the solution of the product. Although Rongzhifa agent many products, but we would like to combine first-class products into a targeted solution to provide customers. Second, the product of the solution, which is the key to improve delivery capacity. We develop products for mature solutions that reduce the difficulty of delivery by simplifying the solution to a single product, increasing the efficiency of deployment.

Rongzhifa's mission is to help customers start from it, to achieve business transformation and strategic change. We hope to participate in the whole process of customer IT system construction. From the planning and design of the program, consulting to the specific implementation of the program and services, RONGZHIFA can provide the corresponding solutions and services, so that customers more easily accept us.

For Rongzhifa, the client is also a partner. We hope to find more customers like the big gene in China that can grow together for a long time.

Rongzhifa is not only a provider of cloud solutions, but also an application of cloud solutions.

Rongzhifa successfully built the UEC private cloud within the company to provide IT services to various departments. Rongzhifa itself is a very convincing example of cloud applications. In the process of implementing cloud scheme, Rongzhifa and customers can form good interaction, learn from each other and draw lessons from the successful experience in cloud application, and improve together.

Keep abreast of user needs

Liu Baohua: In the cloud computing market, no firm can achieve a monopoly. As a result, many manufacturers are keen to build cloud ecosystems or cloud alliances. What partner strategy does RONGZHIFA use in cloud computing?

Wang Donghui: Those who can provide cloud computing products are the RONGZHIFA long-term partners. From the application point of view, Rongzhifa hope to find more like the Chinese gene so that both proficient in their own business and have advanced technology concept of customers, both sides work together to grow together.

Cloud computing is not only a new type of it resource construction and operation mode, but also a brand-new business operation and service mode. The industry chain of cloud computing includes the four types of roles of software and hardware manufacturers, cloud solution providers, cloud operators and cloud consumers. Rongzhifa positioning itself as a cloud solution and service provider. In the cloud industry chain, RONGZHIFA will work closely with the industry's leading enterprises, industry associations and so on to jointly formulate standards and norms within the industry, while providing direct services to customers in the industry.

In the Cloud computing field, RONGZHIFA is the industry cloud development model, which aims to keep abreast of specific industry needs and develop a cloud computing architecture that fully meets the needs of industry customers. On the basis of doing research and development, we will work with leading enterprises and industry associations in the industry to jointly promote the application of cloud computing solutions, so as to establish more industry application model, to form more rapid replication of industry cloud computing solutions for customers to build a private cloud for the enterprise to help.

Liu Baohua: In the era of cloud computing, integration is the trend. Some manufacturers not only the server, storage, network and other hardware integration, and hardware and application software are integrated together. What do you think of this trend?

Wang Donghui: Hardware and software integration is indeed a future development direction, Oracle launched the Exadata database server is a case. The Exadata database server not only reduces the difficulty for customers to deploy new systems, but also shortens the deployment cycle and is priced with processing power rather than hardware configuration, thereby increasing the profit margins for vendors.

Just as people don't care where water and electricity come from, in the era of cloud computing, customers are more concerned about getting enough computing power and storage capabilities, and less about how many servers and storage devices are in the background. Users with technical and financial strength tend to build a private cloud system of their own.

I think an integrated system can meet the needs of a small private cloud. Rongzhifa also has plans to introduce an integrated system. Now, the GPU's computing power is becoming more and more powerful, once we have made a breakthrough in the application of this technology, we can gather the biological cloud and animation into an integrated system.

At the same time, I also recommend that you pay attention to the virtualization private cloud VPC this pattern. Recently, we have seen success stories in this area. Bank users, who require very high information security, are starting to use outsourced cloud computing services in this mode. This pattern actually adds the content of the managed service in the mode of software and hardware integration. The veterans of the solution and service providers are closely following this trend. This model will certainly drive us to change our business model. This model, if used in cloud computing operations, will be a major challenge for Rongzhifa.

Journalist Notes

Be a doer of cloud computing

After experiencing the wave of e-commerce companies, many people speculated that cloud computing companies will set off a wave of public listing. Many cloud computing companies in the country have racked their brains trying to catch the Express, Wang Donghui is unusually calm. In the interview, Wang Donghui repeatedly stressed the position of the alliance: to do Cloud solutions and service providers, rather than cloud services operators.

Rongzhifa has three profit points: products, solutions and services. The profitability of these three types of operations is low to high. Wang Donghui is satisfied with the company's existing business layout, with particular emphasis on the importance of the solution business. "We have established a project management office with a dedicated staff responsible for project management to ensure the advancement of project management." This is the advantage of Rongzhifa Union. "A good enterprise must be a business in place," Wang Donghui said. Data center and cloud computing market is a blue sea market, the customer base is growing, new demand is constantly emerging. As long as we maintain advanced in project management, I believe that the next 20 years, Rongzhifa should not worry about no customers. ”

In cloud computing, how to import new technology into the user's business is a problem worth studying. The crux of the problem is to carefully study the user's business model, to find the core point of the user's business, to help users create greater value. Rongzhifa has been working to study the business needs of IT products and users, and can match both. This is the glory of the Alliance to win the Magic weapon.
