[Tianji IT News Channel] the rapid development of each industry has its unique historical opportunity. However, the historical opportunity ushered in by the development of the disaster recovery backup industry is often accompanied by a "sense of destruction", which makes people feel painful.

On May 27, Alipay, which has nearly 300 million active users, experienced a widespread access failure; the next day, Ctrip revealed that its website and APP had been paralyzed for 12 hours and the page could not be opened due to the physical deletion of the database. On June 12, the official website of the US Embassy in China said, "the US Consular Bureau is experiencing technical problems with overseas passports and visa systems." Starting at around 9: 00 a.m. on June 21, Aliyun's Hong Kong node completely collapsed.

At present, disaster recovery backup is a worldwide problem, because disaster recovery involves data security, compared with other industries, countries have higher requirements for the localization and localization of disaster recovery backup system. For quite a long time in the past, foreign manufacturers played a leading role in China's disaster preparedness market.

"the gap between China's disaster preparedness market and international disaster preparedness technology is narrowing. Like various industries in China, China's disaster recovery backup market has been developing in a good direction, at least now we do not need to tell customers the importance of disaster recovery, customers will take the initiative to tell us their disaster recovery needs."

Wang Zijun, the eighth Thousand talents Plan expert and now a tenured professor at Clemson computer School in the United States, believes that frequent data security incidents will force the development of the disaster preparedness industry and the upgrading of the system.

Wang Zijun has been engaged in scientific research in the fields of software and disaster recovery backup since the 1990s. He received his doctorate from the University of Central Florida in 2001. In 2009, Professor Wang Zijun returned home with advanced storage and backup software design and development technology, and cooperated with a number of enterprises and individuals to establish Guangzhou Dingjia computer Technology Co., Ltd., which focuses on disaster recovery and backup.

CLP helps Dingjia to build China's information security firewall

Data security accidents have become a "normal" in the era of big data. In this context, China's disaster recovery backup industry has made rapid development in recent years. A number of super-large central enterprises are also accelerating the layout of the disaster preparedness industry.

As early as three years ago, China Electronic Information Industry Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Electronics"), an important backbone state-owned enterprise, listed information security as the group's key project. carry out the layout of the whole industry chain involving "security chips, complete machines, basic software, and security application products".

In order to fill many gaps in the field of disaster preparedness in China and speed up the localization of key technologies and equipment for disaster preparedness, China Electronics invested in Dingjia Company founded by Wang Zijun in June last year.

The strategic investment of China Electronics not only brings capital to Dingjia, but also brings market opportunities to Dingjia, so that Dingjia can directly become the "national team" of China's information security.

"apart from becoming a shareholder in Dingjia, China Electronics also requires all its enterprises to fully support Dingjia in terms of technology, market and product cooperation. At present, Dingjia is developing rapidly."

Wang Zijun said that in the future, China Electronics will also provide help for the development of Dingjia in terms of funds and talents. Dingjia is preparing to raise money again in the fourth quarter of this year. Mainly used for the expansion of R & D team and overseas markets. Dingjia is willing to cooperate with any company that can bring help to Dingjia in addition to capital. Dingjia will adhere to technology-based and market-oriented, gradually develop into the leader of the domestic disaster recovery and backup market, and occupy a place in the world disaster recovery market.

"if it continues at this rate, Dingjia will be listed within three years." Wang Zijun is optimistic about the future development of Dingjia.

Solve the dilemma of "skill is inferior to others"

Compared with a few years ago, the international disaster preparedness system has made many breakthroughs. Not only more disaster recovery products have emerged, but also the functions of existing disaster recovery products are more perfect. For economic considerations, some domestic enterprises will still choose foreign disaster preparedness suppliers and service providers.

In this regard, Wang Zijun said frankly that China's disaster preparedness system and software lag behind its Western counterparts because of "poor skills", and the key factor causing this situation is the lack of professional personnel. " The original intention of establishing Dingjia is to introduce the most advanced international disaster recovery backup technology into China. The biggest difficulty encountered in the past six years is the training of talents. In addition to training qualified R & D personnel, I spent a lot of energy, and the unhealthy competition for talents in the domestic IT industry has also brought great challenges for us to retain talents. "

At present, the core R & D team of Dingjia is composed of three parts, and the research team is mainly doctor and master in the United States. The development team is composed of senior R & D personnel who have worked hard in the domestic disaster recovery backup industry for many years and graduate students and undergraduates from well-known universities in China. In addition, Dingjia's product research and development also relies on a team of consultants, including academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to provide professional consultant support.

"Dingjia has attached great importance to the accumulation of talent and technology from the very beginning. In addition to the research team composed of PhDs and masters in the United States, Dingjia's local R & D team has always maintained communication and exchanges with foreign technology counterparts to keep up with the most advanced technology in the world. Some technologies even exceed the foreign level. For example, Dingjia's variable length block deduplication technology and dynamic compression technology have reached and exceeded the level of most foreign disaster recovery backup software. "

Create a platform and soil for in-depth research and development

In the changing IT industry, new products and technologies emerge one after another, and the competition in the same industry is extremely fierce. Dingjia should not only compete with international well-known brands in technology, but also compete with some old domestic brands that have been doing for more than a decade. Wang Zijun believes that only by practicing the most basic kung fu can we be in an invincible position in the market competition.

"Dingjia's hard-trained 'basic skills' is to cultivate a R & D team with technical depth, and to make the products the most stable. Sometimes in order to ensure that the product can adapt to a variety of user environments, Dingjia R & D personnel repeatedly test and modify the product in a variety of environments, so as to ensure the optimal customer experience. Sometimes allowing R & D personnel to pursue technological depth is often in conflict with the rapid launch of products, and the products do not reach the market and lack the driving force for development. in order to balance the relationship between the two, Dingjia adopted a variety of incentive systems. let R & D personnel be proud of improving their abilities and be the best products as their responsibility. "

"at present, Dingjia's products and technologies have not only achieved localization, but also reached world-class." Wang Zijun said.

Disaster preparedness industry will usher in a "golden growth period"

China's disaster preparedness market is in the ascendant, the market space is huge, and with the continuous increase of data assets, the disaster recovery backup market will continue to grow. According to IDC's estimate, the disaster preparedness market will reach hundreds of billions of yuan in 2017. Wang Zijun predicts that the next 10 to 20 years will be a "golden growth period" for China's disaster preparedness market.

"the United States experienced two 'golden growth periods' from 1990 to 2000, and then from 2000 to 2010, and this period in China will take longer than that in the United States. First of all, there are too many enterprises and personal data in China that need disaster recovery backup, and the base of data assets is larger than that of the United States. secondly, the gap between the disaster recovery awareness of Chinese enterprises and individuals and the United States is narrowing, and finally, the tide of self-controllable domestic substitution has brought new business opportunities to China's disaster recovery backup market. "

"like other industries, the disaster recovery backup industry in China is bound to surpass the Western market in the near future. Just as China's car and mobile phone market has become the world's largest market, China will sooner or later become the largest market for the disaster recovery backup industry."
