Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

At this year's convincing Innovation Conference, Software-defined IT Infrastructure has become one of the very important topics. Convincingly, together with the CIO and partners of more than 2000 customers, we have conducted in-depth discussions on the role and value of IT infrastructure in the digital age.

In addition, Shengxin and IDC jointly issued the "White Paper on Digital Transformation of effective Protection and escort Enterprises facing the Future" and "White Paper on the way to accelerate Digital Transformation of Software definition", which elaborated how to use security and software definition innovation technology to drive users' digital transformation from the two aspects of security and IT infrastructure, respectively.

This is another round of thinking about the future trend of software-defined IT infrastructure following the release of the three major business brands: smart Security, Cloud Computing and the new IT at the beginning of this year. Since then, the convincing software-defined IT infrastructure strategy has become clearer.

Different convincing, different software-defined IT infrastructure at present, a digital world is accelerating, and in the future, everything will be digitized by ubiquitous terminals, networks, computing, data, intelligence and communication. At the same time, the future organization, business and science will be reconstructed around data, and digital innovation based on data will become the biggest driving force. In this process of digitization, IT infrastructure will undoubtedly play the role of "digital cornerstone", well support the application of new generation ICT technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of things, and play a vital role in the digital transformation of enterprises and organizations.

At this year's Innovation Conference, we are convinced that the IT infrastructure in the digital age will change with the change of business applications, and that the future infrastructure will develop towards a highly distributed and cloud-side collaborative trend. Convinced CEO he Zhaoxi said: "Innovation, more advanced IT infrastructure and more secure security are essential basic work in the digital world, and we have been committed to this for more than a decade."

Convinced by CEO and he Zhaoxi

For the current IT infrastructure, there is no doubt that an era of software definition is under way. From the popular software-defined network a few years ago, to the later wave of software-defined storage, to the popular software-defined IT infrastructure, software definition has set off an irresistible trend in the field of IT infrastructure. The reason is that in the digital age, the business processes and business models of various industries are digitally reconstructed based on data. The great changes that digitization brings to the business drive the basic implementation of IT to adapt to this rapid change.

In fact, around the general trend of infrastructure development towards software definition, we are convinced that the relevant strategic layout has been completed, which mainly includes three areas: the first is to focus on cloud network-side security and related services. the second is to provide cloud computing products and services for private, managed and hybrid clouds. The third is the IT infrastructure business, including desktop cloud, application delivery, SD-WAN, and software-defined storage products.

Compared with other competitors in the market, we are convinced that we are forming a unique "iron triangle" advantage in the field of software-defined IT infrastructure, and that smart security, cloud computing and new IT services depend on, promote and complement each other, which can provide users with a more secure, flexible, simple and high-value software-defined IT infrastructure.

White paper reveals six major trends in infrastructure in order to explore the development trend of infrastructure in the future, we are convinced that the relevant research on software-defined IT infrastructure has been increased in recent years. At this innovation conference, we were convinced that the future software-defined IT infrastructure will have six trends of cloud nativeness, intelligence, edge adaptation, convergence, security embedding and autonomy, and will focus on supporting new technologies and application scenarios such as AI, edge computing, IoT and multi-cloud architecture.

In the white paper, IDC also analyzes the 10 steps of digital transformation driven by new technology, and defines the maturity of digital transformation from the five stages of single point experiment, local promotion, replication expansion, operation management, optimization and innovation, and puts forward suggestions on stage self-test and future development direction for industry users. Wu Lianfeng, vice president and chief analyst of IDC China, said bluntly: "Software-defined IT infrastructure is a key factor in accelerating digital transformation."

Through the way of software definition, basic resources and capabilities such as computing, storage, network and so on can be delivered to users quickly and agile in the way of service. Fast, agile, efficient and flexible, these are precisely the basic requirements for IT capabilities of enterprises and organizations in the process of digital transformation, supporting the future digital transformation in a software-defined way.

"Digital transformation is a journey of more than 10 years, a long-term process, and the core is to achieve the organization's business goals. in this process, software-defined infrastructure will play an important role by building a digital platform to support large-scale multiplication innovation and application scenarios." Wulianfeng added.

Convinced of the vision and ambition of the new IT "convinced that the vision of the new IT business is to provide users with a new generation of agile, intelligent and secure IT infrastructure through the software-defined IT infrastructure in the future, and convince both new and old customers that the infrastructure implements the software definition." Chen Xiaoliang revealed that only 1/4 of the more than 100000 customers around the world have implemented the software definition, leaving a huge market space for the new IT business.

In fact, I am convinced that the White Paper on Software definition to accelerate Digital Transformation will be jointly released with IDC because the new IT business is one of the most important growth engines in the future. Convincingly announced at the brand launch at the beginning of the year that the new IT business unit will focus on IT infrastructure and focus on the expansion of software-defined IT infrastructure business.

At present, we are convinced that the new IT business mainly includes four product lines in the field of IT infrastructure: desktop cloud, load balancing, SD-WAN and software-defined storage. "in the field of IT infrastructure, we are mainly facing traditional IT giants and virtualized software giants." Chen Xiaoliang said so.

According to the introduction, we are convinced that the new IT mainly adheres to two major ideas in creating software definition infrastructure products: the first is the fully modular software definition; the second is the three-dimensional collaboration at the edge of the cloud network. Chen Xiaoliang believes that the fully modular software definition is intended to be fully enabled and defined from the terminal, the network to the data center. At present, many users have implemented the software definition locally, and it is certain that it will all be opened up in the future. The product adapts in a fully modular way. The stereo collaboration at the edge of the cloud network emphasizes intelligence, global control and cloud network end integration, which realizes intelligent operation and maintenance by introducing the ability of artificial intelligence, while the global management and control platform realizes the coordination, deployment and optimization of self-cloud network resources. cloud-network convergence allows the network to adapt automatically with the change of business.

In fact, the current software-defined IT infrastructure is a huge market, which determines that we are convinced that we will face many competitors in this field, including not only many start-ups, but also foreign IT giants such as VMware, Cisco and Citrix. And deeply convinced in this highly competitive market, but also gradually out of a way to give full play to their own advantages. Chen Xiaoliang said: "convinced products and solutions can provide users with a more agile infrastructure to adapt to the flexibility of the business." To this end, I am convinced that the product trend is modularization and intelligence. Modularization and API can facilitate the integration and integration of their own products, and can provide extreme flexibility. For example, in the field of desktop cloud, I am convinced that more than 100 API are planned in the upcoming version to facilitate interface with various business systems. " The ability to automate is also needed to achieve an agile IT infrastructure, which is convinced by the ability to continuously inject AI into the product. " It is reported that the convincing Innovation Research Institute has a special AI team, whose responsibility is to provide future intelligent capabilities for convincing.

"I am convinced that another major advantage is built-in security, and the long-term stable operation of the entire infrastructure platform must be inseparable from security. and convinced of the deep accumulation in the field of security, we are convinced that we can have the ability of built-in security and situational awareness in the field of infrastructure." Chen Xiaoliang added.

According to the introduction, I am convinced that the new IT business has been increasing investment recently, and the scale of its R & D system has maintained a growth rate of 30% and 40% in recent years, and various organizations, including pre-sales and after-sales, have achieved simultaneous protection. We are convinced that we are also increasing the ecological construction in the field of infrastructure, through specialized departments to connect the ecological construction of infrastructure, and to create competitive solutions with partners.

"the market space for the entire software-defined infrastructure is indeed very large. I am convinced that the new IT wants to help users adapt to the changes of this era at the level of IT infrastructure." Chen Xiaoliang said finally.

In-depth observation from this year's convincing Innovation Conference, we can clearly feel convinced that the company has changed from the inside out. We can clearly see that we are convinced that we are actively thinking about the future of digitization with our partners and users. Convinced that after the formation of the three major business modules of security, cloud computing and infrastructure, its role in the digital future has become increasingly clear.

In the field of software-defined IT infrastructure, the new IT business unit is convinced that the new IT business unit is more like a rising star. With years of continuous thinking on the development of software-defined infrastructure and the practical experience of more than 100000 users, we are convinced that the field of software-defined infrastructure is now stable and manageable, and it is not as radical as rapid expansion. It also attaches great importance to the continuous investment in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, a style that determines that convincing will work in infrastructure for a long time, and time can give the best answer.
