The wave of nationalization of banking information system

Absrtact: The application of domestic informatization in banking system is speeding up landing. According to the reporter of the first financial daily, the China Banking Regulatory Commission has carried out a special research on the application of informatization in the national banks, and the computer set up for the large banks and financial institutions

The application of domestic informatization in the banking system is speeding up the landing.

According to the reporter of the first financial daily, China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) has launched a comprehensive survey on the basic software and hardware of information systems used by large banks and financial institutions, such as computer equipment, network equipment, storage equipment, security equipment, software equipment, etc. The CBRC recently clarified the "Propulsion Guide" for banking safety-controllable technology, which is the prelude to the implementation of the "Guide to Propulsion".

The source said, 2015, the banking hardware and software localization rate or into the annual quantitative assessment.

Comprehensive mapping of banking industry

According to the above-mentioned survey, the CBRC's research contents mainly include the name, nature of the bank's software and hardware facilities provider, the foreign country of the manufacturer, and the quantity of the product, the new quantity and the new input.

Last September, the CBRC issued "guidance on the application of safe and controllable information technology to strengthen banking network security and Information Construction" (39th), explicitly incorporating safe and controllable information technology applications into strategic planning, and by 2019, the safety of controllable information technology in the banking sector in general reached about 75% utilization rate.

After the Prism Gate incident, information security was mentioned as an unprecedented height. The main hardware and software facilities of China's banking industry are provided by foreign companies, and the risk of bank information security is at the highest level.

The CBRC's current focus on the application of "safe and controllable" technology in the banking industry lies in network equipment, storage, low-end servers, information security, operational services, word processing software, and will increase its efforts in the operating system, database and other fields. According to the above 39th article, since 2015, the banking financial institutions to the safety of controllable information technology application should be increased year by no less than 15%, until 2019 reached no less than 75% of the overall ratio.

Article 39th is only a framework, excluding specific details. However, according to the reporter, the CBRC has developed an annual guide document on the application of safe and controllable information technology in banking, which is included in the work of the annual Advance guide for the 2014 Banking Information Technology survey.

The research subjects include the CBRC, the policy bank, the commercial bank, the financial Asset Management company, the Trust company directly supervised by the CBRC, and the Financial Corporation of the Enterprise group. The CBRC will also organize the investigation of financial institutions (including provincial rural credit cooperatives, excluding village banks) within the jurisdiction of the legal entity.

According to sources, the CBRC said in a recent teleconference that some of the quantitative indicators in document 39th will be included in the annual review for 2015, including no less than 15% per cent annual increase in safety-controllable information technology, and banking institutions should arrange for an annual informatization budget of not less than 5% from 2015 onwards, Used to support research around secure controllable information systems.

Its purpose is to "master the choice of key technologies and to get rid of reliance on single technology and products in key information and network infrastructures", as mentioned in article 39th.

"Autonomous" acceleration

Industry insiders predict that after the completion of the investigation, the CBRC follow-up or have further documents issued. Domestic information products to provide Shangtianji technology, wave information, oriental Qualcomm, information security provider Guardian, NSFocus and Venus Chen and so on may be from the banking facilities in the domestic benefits.

Among them, in the server, database, operating system of these core products, domestic manufacturers and foreign compared to a small gap.

At present, the core facilities used by the banking industry include computing equipment such as mainframe computers, network equipment including core switches, and intrusion detection equipment, including various storage devices, databases, virtualization software, proprietary software, and various terminal devices.

Some banks are also gradually trying to use domestic minicomputer, database software and storage devices to replace some of the foreign products, this is the previous concern of the "Go IoE" (IBM-represented small machines, Oracle-represented database software, high-end storage represented by EMC), but now it seems that This is only the first step.

In the domestic storage solution provider, Kafr Ad-dawwar Times Chairman Tiandaqing View, "to IoE" is not simply to IBM, Oracle, EMC, but the domestic manufacturers themselves to innovate.

"I do not feel that I have to run EMC, which is a matter of fair competition," he said. But the government should have a certain degree of protection to the market, this is we can with it to PK a prerequisite. We've actually fought a few battles in the competition with EMC companies. Tiandaqing told reporters.

The core areas of information systems include computing, networking, and storage. At present, the computing CPU and operating system for Intel, Microsoft-led, soft and hard one of the main IBM, Dell, HP and other manufacturers, Shuguang, Lenovo, wave and other domestic manufacturers also joined the competition, the network has basically Cisco, Oracle (database) and the domestic Huawei, China three-led.

The current storage market pattern and no dust settled, domestic and foreign have a certain well-known storage enterprises, including EMC, DDN, IBM, Hewlett-Packard and other thirty or forty, in Tiandaqing view, domestic manufacturers or can be in this field first breakthrough.

An insider in the wave group's financial sector Solutions Department was contacted yesterday, but was told that the "safe and controllable" plan being advanced by the banking system had not yet seen a fundamental impact in the industry.
