Shanghai Unicom leading Enterprise "cloud" service

More than 10 years ago, there has been a vision of the future of personal computers: the terminals will be simplified to a single screen and a host with the most basic operating system, and a large number of applications are placed on shared hosts, and when users need to use some kind of software, they log on to the shared host directly using the Internet. In this way, people can greatly reduce the cost of purchasing computer software and hardware. It can also reduce the power consumption of PCs.

In Shanghai, Shanghai Unicom first realized this idea within the enterprise

2010, with China Unicom "cloud Desktop Project" completed, Shanghai Unicom all the main business hall of the host replaced by "Thin terminal." At the same time, in Shanghai Unicom's call center, tens of thousands of employees for the electronic office of the "virtual desktop" also entered the construction phase. The so-called "thin terminal", "virtual desktop" is the above "simplified terminal, shareware" the practical application of the idea.

Today, this application is called "Cloud computing"

For enterprises, this way can reduce electricity, computer room construction and so on costs, such as the Shanghai Unicom Business Hall of electricity consumption has saved nearly 60%. At the same time, the capacity of enterprise disaster tolerance is also greatly improved. Shanghai Unicom's "cloud computing" service officially opened to enterprises, immediately welcomed.

This kind of enterprise has the large call center and the massive customer data, to the information storage capacity and the security request is very high. Compared with the individual enterprises, Shanghai Unicom over the years in the infrastructure of the continuous investment and construction, so that its storage capacity and security are more assured. As early as the Shanghai World Expo, Shanghai Unicom's cloud computing has begun to serve the enterprise, one of the typical Chinese pavilion is the eye-catching "Qingming River map."
