Southeast University cooperates with IBM to establish cloud computing Joint Research Center

This morning, located in southeast University East Lake Campus, "Southeast University IBM Cloud computing Joint Research Center" was formally established. The center is the only joint research Center in the cloud computing field established by IBM in collaboration with Chinese universities, and is by far the first in the world for IBM. After the establishment of the center, the two sides will jointly train talents in colleges and universities, jointly set up research centers, to expand deepening in the cloud computing in the forefront of the technical field of all-round cooperation.

At the founding ceremony, the director of IBM's Keith Brown signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Executive vice president of Southeast University, Hu Minqiang. Southeast University and IBM Senior and technical experts also served as candidates for the cloud computing Joint Research Center in charge of the letter of appointment.

Hu Minqiang Executive vice president said that the establishment of Southeast University IBM Cloud Computing Joint Research Center is a great recognition of the scientific research ability and academic level of Southeast University, and also marked a new step for the cooperation between the two sides.

Director Keith Brown said that southeast University has the advantage of scientific research, talent, IBM is the industry leader in cloud computing, and the joint establishment of Southeast University of the world's first cloud computing research Center, combining the advantages of both sides, will greatly facilitate the development of cloud computing area.

According to the introduction, IBM as the world's leading information technology enterprises, since 1995, with more than 50 universities in China have established a good partnership. Not only that, IBM has been working with the world's top universities and research institutions in many cutting-edge areas of extensive and in-depth cooperation.

Cloud computing, a new computing model for sharing IT resources through virtualization, is another major change in information technology that will lead to fundamental changes in working methods and business models. As one of IBM's important development strategies, cloud computing has become the focus area for IBM's School-enterprise cooperation.

2012 by the IBM System and Technology department, IBM China System and Technology Development Center led by the world to find the top universities, the establishment of a joint laboratory cloud computing field. In China through the comparison of national colleges and universities screening, IBM finally selected and Southeast University computer Science and Engineering school to carry out cloud computing cooperation, and thus set up Southeast University IBM Cloud computing Joint Research Center.

IBM China Systems and Technology Development Center is committed to the development of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, and will nurture first-class local talent to help them build comprehensive skills as one of the three core tasks of the development center. IBM and Southeast University in cooperation to establish a joint research Center for Cloud Computing, IBM China System and Technology Development Center and Southeast University in the cloud computing-related research, curriculum development, talent training, international academic exchanges, the establishment of industrial environment and so on, IBM will be as far as possible to provide students with practical opportunities platform, To help students deepen their understanding of advanced information technology and strengthen practice while providing professional skills knowledge training.

Cloud computing (cloud computing) is an increase, use, and delivery model of internet-based related services, often involving the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources over the Internet. The cloud is a metaphor for the web and the Internet. In the past, the cloud was used to represent the telecommunications network, which was later used to represent the abstraction of the Internet and underlying infrastructure. Narrow cloud computing refers to the delivery and usage patterns of IT infrastructure, which means acquiring the required resources through the network on an as-needed and extensible basis; broad cloud computing refers to the delivery and usage patterns of services, which means that the required services are obtained through the network in an on-demand, extensible manner. This service can be it and software, Internet-related, but also other services. It means that computing power can also be used as a commodity to circulate through the Internet.

In short, we used to use the computer resources alone, you use the other people can not use, the resources are more wasteful. Cloud computing is a unified dispatch of all resources, on demand, as we do with water and electricity. In the past, for example, every household had a well and was idle when it was not available; now we have built a water net, and we can use it as much as we need it. The same is true of cloud computing. It is physically, and may be, far away, but when used, it is a new way of information processing that is low-cost and efficient, as it is around.
