Today, as artificial intelligence technology is increasingly closely integrated with the real economy, the potential of cloud computing and other technologies is being tapped by people of insight in various industries.
At present, cloud computing is providing strong technical support for the construction of various domestic fields with its unique advantages. In order to improve the quality and level of development of related industries, many companies have begun to explore new ways to use cloud computing and other information technologies for industrial development.
Three questions on enterprise cloud migration
For Chinese enterprises, they are entering the stage of Internet and digital transformation, and their dependence on cloud computing continues to increase. Cloud computing has been more recognized for improving the level of enterprise information application for small and medium-sized companies and reducing the cost of building enterprise information systems.
In order to create a good environment for enterprises to move to the cloud, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued the "Implementation Guidelines for Promoting Enterprises to Move to the Cloud" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Guidelines"). Overall, the Guidelines focus on implementing cloud paths and strengthening policies. It provides guidance for enterprises to migrate to the cloud in terms of ensuring and improving support services.
According to different types of enterprises, the "Implementation Guide" provides targeted guidance on how to migrate to the cloud for large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises, and entrepreneurial enterprises. Different enterprises can choose different cloud solutions such as private cloud, hybrid cloud, and public cloud according to their actual needs. They can choose according to the needs of the enterprise.
Enterprise cloud migration is divided into four stages: primary, intermediate, advanced and comprehensive optimization.
Primary Stage:Elements are moved to the cloud.Enterprises began to use the IT hardware resources, software resources and data services provided by the cloud platform in key business links such as R&D, production and marketing, and began the cloud transformation of production equipment and facilities to realize the gradual cloudization of hardware, software, data and other elements. Reduce information costs and quickly acquire digital capabilities.
Intermediate stage:Business integration.Cloud migration of hardware, software, data and other elements has formed a certain foundation. Enterprises have begun to change their management structures and organizational methods, and gradually moved core business systems to the cloud through cloud platforms to achieve interconnection between systems, open up information islands, and promote production. Service resources, data, etc. are integrated and shared to achieve collaborative management and operational optimization within the enterprise.
Advanced stage:Cloud interconnection.Enterprises have basically implemented core business systems on the cloud, and on this basis, they have realized cloud interconnection with other enterprises around the value chain. The functions of the cloud platform have expanded from the integration of internal systems within the enterprise to the sharing of resources and business collaboration between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, achieving greater efficiency. integrated application model.
Comprehensive optimization:Develop intelligence stage.Enterprises have basically realized cloud interconnection with other enterprises, and have begun to precipitate, reuse and reconstruct the enterprise's knowledge and experience in the form of microservice components and industrial APPs, gradually realizing mutual interaction with other users and nodes in the open cloud ecosystem. Promote, two-way iteration, collaborative innovation, and be driven by big data in the cloud ecosystem to promote the evolution of single-point intelligence to global optimization.
A new era of manufacturing development
From the perspective of product production, transportation and sales, cloud platforms play a vital role in the development of the entire manufacturing industry. The use of cloud platforms enables manufacturing companies to continuously improve production processes and adjust production structures to meet the actual needs of corporate development under the background of Industry 4.0.
For example, in terms of product manufacturing, with the help of cloud computing, companies can collect production data from different workshops into a unified system and upload it to the cloud platform. The person in charge of the production department of the company can adjust the production progress at any time by analyzing the product data. Ensure that related products can be produced in time.
For another example, in terms of product transportation, companies can choose the best transportation route for product transportation by analyzing the driving routes and time taken by different transportation vehicles to transport products in the cloud platform, thereby improving transportation efficiency and saving transportation time. In the process of shipping large quantities of products, the advantages of cloud computing are fully demonstrated.
In addition, using cloud computing, manufacturing companies can also build shared cloud platforms to share product manufacturing experience and improve product manufacturing technology. After building a public cloud or hybrid cloud platform, manufacturing companies no longer work alone, but work with industry peers to explore new channels for technological innovation and industrial upgrading, which makes the industrial cluster effect gradually emerge.
