Understanding Dell's cloud computing strategy and its product solutions

Silicon Valley December 9 News Today, with the popularity of the Internet and the rapid development of cloud computing, large data, mobile Internet, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13766.html > Social Commerce, whether CIOs, Or IT system is experiencing a "big test"-The new technology wave it is undergoing a series of changes, these changes for the enterprise, there are huge challenges and opportunities. At the last session of China CIO, we invited experts from different fields to explain to us the changes that these new technologies bring to us from different dimensions.


　　


It is understood that the CIO annual meeting is divided into the Morning Summit forum and two parts of the afternoon Forum, the Morning Summit forum mainly from industry users, experts, government and other authoritative experts to explain how the new technology for the enterprise to create value, and the afternoon set up a large data forum, cloud computing sub-Forum, The mobile Internet sub-Forum will comprehensively introduce the application practice of new technology from the perspective of industry user practice. Bit network reporter will be on the scene of each industry to speak to experts, users in-depth reports, in order to provide users with more application reference. Jianxin, Global cloud computing marketing Manager from Dell (China) Limited, has a wonderful share of the current cloud computing services, case and Dell Cloud strategy positioning and product solutions at the CIO's Annual Cloud Computing Forum.


　　


Dell's "Pain" transition


　　


Jianxin first introduced the Dell CEO's view of cloud computing, and Dell's CEO believes that cloud computing is not an end in itself but a turning point, placing it at the heart of the enterprise and making it the leader and driver of the value creation process.


　　


Cloud Computing is a great opportunity for Dell to change, in the impression that Dell is doing hardware, playing the role of PC, and as early as four years ago Dell was making a transition to become an end-to-end solution provider.

The transition is very painful to take into account the short-term and long-term interests, in the process there are many complementary choices, and cloud computing gives us a very big opportunity. Cloud computing is a relatively new "battlefield", there will be new opportunities in the new "battlefield", relatively on the starting line of more equality, so that Dell has the opportunity to stand out in the new "battlefield", cloud computing is a very important strategic direction of Dell.


　　


to simplify Dell's cloud computing path


　　


How does Dell view the cloud computing market? How to adjust the strategy according to the view of cloud computing market? For this, jianxin points out, Dell's core keyword is to simplify.


　　


Cloud Computing brings the adjustment far beyond technology, it brings more challenges from the management and operations layer, if you want to make the cloud project success to consider the factors may be from the beginning to the end of the perfect consideration, to complete understanding of the current status of the enterprise, hope to achieve what effect, in the process of how to take into account a lot of factors , not every enterprise or every organization has that ability.


　　


Dell as an IT company, through its technology and products to make this process simple, so that the implementation of the process is very safe or risk, as low as possible to the cloud to the ground.


　　


Dell's global strategy is to plan from the cloud computing platform to cloud computing operations, to the cloud hybrid cloud inheritance and to the external delivery of services, can provide a full range of capabilities, but in fact, Dell has established its own data center in the United States, has begun to provide IAAS services.


　　


Dell is a very leading provider of cloud infrastructure, Dell features a more pragmatic and market-specific response, and actually has a very high market share in the cloud infrastructure. In addition to hardware, Dell is also building its capabilities in a variety of ways. Acquisitions in recent years have focused on strengthening Dell's capabilities in solutions and cloud computing, and in March this year Dell set up an independent software division, one of the key investments in cloud computing.


　　


After we learned about Dell's global strategy, Jianxin also gave a detailed introduction to Dell's strategy in China. First of all Dell positioning in China is an end-to-end Platform Builder--and if a company has cloud computing requirements, Dell is responsible for building the cloud platform from scratch.


　　


is well known that the cloud computing sector involves hardware and software providers, but Dell offers an end-to-end solution.


　　


typically the solution runs several aspects of the cloud infrastructure, build services, and cloud computing partners:


　　


first, cloud infrastructure


　　


1, Dairyun client solutions, is used to build the desktop cloud, we serve to the end of the widget desktop cloud, so far the introduction of two versions of the build, one is the standard version, for 50 or so desktop virtualization implementation, not only includes the desktop and backstage support platform also includes the server of the backstage construction, storage, Network, including Dell's experience with overall planning and Enterprise Edition.


　　


If the enterprise wants to do desktop virtualization needs directly point standard Version or Enterprise Edition, can be very quick to build the solution


　　


2, Dairyun platform construction, this mainly refers to do the cloud backend platform, the current customer cloud demand is actually very much, but the customer application situation will be very different, for example, his technical ability will vary, the sensitivity of the technology will be different, the implementation of the cloud will be different, Dell is a very open attitude, Not to take a product to solve all the needs, in this case, we are based on customer demand to give him a different solution, the market in fact, there are two mainstream solutions: one is the commercial program, one is open source program.


　　


Dell has launched a series of smart architecture products, the most important goal is to strengthen the construction of the application platform can also include private cloud desktop cloud these platforms. Common cloud Platform architecture, in fact, this cloud platform architecture, whether private or public cloud can be used, on top of this resource platform, we monitor and transport the platform, then deliver it, consider the security of the cloud platform outside the entire platform, and then mix the cloud in the future, which involves cloud integration.


　　


Second, service


　　


Dell began in 2010 to set up a dedicated technical team, to carry out cloud-related projects, after two years accumulated a lot of cloud implementation of this experience, and we have a complete set of cloud construction of a very good methodology, this methodology will be introduced into China in 2013, With these implementation scenarios, the risk of implementing this project is reduced to a greater extent.


　　


third, the concept of cloud computing is relatively large, in this application process Dell will work with a lot of partners to do cloud-related projects.


　　


Dell's in-house cloud computing team was established in 2010, in more than a year, the project was about 30 projects, including the various industries such as telecommunications, finance, education, medical care and so on, through these implementation, we found that the domestic demand diversity is relatively large, especially in the private cloud, In the process also accumulated a lot of experience, in the future, Dell is still positioning in the end-to-end role of cloud computing builders, to the enterprise to cloud computing journey, do a better service.
