SaaS Test Cloud Platform settles in Xinjiang IBM Blade Booster

2011, IBM in Qingdao, the theme of "Blade open, close to the clouds," The IBM Blade Summit Forum, has 350 IBM customers, 40 business partners, as well as 8 Alliance partners to participate. At the meeting, IBM cloud computing and blade experts discussed "how to help Chinese enterprises achieve service delivery transformation through cloud computing and create a new business model", "convergence of innovative value and business opportunities brought about by cloud computing", and "how cloud applications can help business development".

Today, "cloud computing" is no longer a novelty, and users ' focus has shifted from the concept of cloud computing to how cloud computing "landed". At this blade forum, IBM's innovative move to the real cloud environment, where users can experience the "smart Desktop Cloud" based on the IBM BladeCenter platform, "on-demand, Pay-as-you-go IaaS", "retractable PAAs" and "service to Human SaaS" And many of the successful IBM implementation of proven cloud computing solutions.

IBM has a comprehensive cloud computing solution and a wealth of experience in cloud computing application time. At this forum, Mr. An Jun, from the products Department of Xinjiang Telecom and Enterprise customer, shared the case of Xinjiang Telecom using IBM Blade solution to build SaaS Test cloud computing platform.

Xinjiang Telecom Enterprises and government clients mainly serve the local military and enterprise customers, such as industry and commerce, public security, health supervision departments, these large customers have the industry information application needs, the application of industry application software. In the past, customers need to buy software directly from partners, set up their own platform for testing, this application mode led to a long period of customer development, generally more than six months, and for customers some of the demand is very urgent, such as food safety, need short-term results, this traditional application model is difficult to meet customer needs.

For customers need to quickly build test development platform, rapid deployment of industry application software needs, Xinjiang Telecom Joint Partners, the construction of the information laboratory for industry customers to provide software services leasing SaaS Cloud computing model, which is a strategic transformation of Xinjiang Telecom. According to An Jun, China Telecom has been making strategic transformation, in 2010 China Telecom put forward the "new three" positioning: as the leader of the intelligent pipeline, integrated platform provider, content and application of the participants.

The establishment of information laboratory is a manifestation of the "new three" orientation of Xinjiang Telecom. According to An Jun, Xinjiang Telecom Information Laboratory has three clear positioning: first, to do the development and testing of the base; second, foreign cooperation, as the base to show customers, to show customers the industry needs of the application; third, the internal requirements of Xinjiang Telecom is to become a continuous application of information, the company, Hope that through the information laboratory as a base, and constantly accompany customers in the process of application of information growth.

After the successful construction of the information laboratory, we can deliver the test platform for customers, and Xinjiang Telecom customers can test and develop the business software directly through the already deployed interface, including end-to-end testing. According to An Jun, this test cloud model greatly shortens the testing cycle of customer business software. "The lab has a resource application form and the customer can submit the application based on the operating system and test time required by the test, and the lab opens its resources according to the application form. As an example of server deployment, the previous deployment of a Windows Server 2003 server would take at least one or two hours, now up to 15 minutes. ”

Xinjiang Telecom in the deployment of information laboratories in the process of two needs, An Jun said: "The first is the need for a server system can quickly deploy the lab SaaS platform, and can implement automatic deployment, and also hope that the debugging good software image can be saved, improve the efficiency of the test." "Through the bidding, Xinjiang Telecom eventually chose the IBM BladeCenter Blade solution as a hardware infrastructure platform," An Jun said. "The concept we are proposing is vague, and IBM can provide a comprehensive cloud computing solution, as well as a cost-effective solution for users." The IBM Blade system can ensure system stability, and IBM can help us to build the cloud computing environment, providing a large degree of support to ensure that users spend the least money to achieve the best results. ”

The establishment of the SaaS Test cloud platform in Xinjiang Telecom has greatly improved the test and development process of the customer business platform and accelerated the on-line operation of the business system. An Jun said that the current Xinjiang Telecom Information Laboratory is deploying digital urban and rural social management applications, the floating population, rental housing management, improve the level of customer management.
