On May 19, 2022, the "2022 Cloud Management and Cloud Networking Conference," co-hosted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and the China Communications Standards Association, was successfully held via online live streaming. With the theme "New Cloud Management, New Cloud Networking," the conference unveiled a series of significant outcomes and launched the "Cloud Optimization Capability Enhancement Initiative." The aim is to further promote the innovative development of the cloud computing industry and to enhance the technology of cloud management platforms and the level of cloud networking services.

"Futong Cloud Assists in Cover Media's Best Practice of Integrated Media Hybrid Cloud Management" Wins 2022 MSP Excellent Case Award, and Futong Cloud Becomes a Member of the Cloud Optimization Capability Enhancement Program, Participating in the Compilation of the Cloud Optimization Guide — "Cloud Optimization Governance Practice Guide Part One: Cost Optimization" White Paper Officially Released.

Winning the MSP Excellent Case Award

To promote high-quality development in the fields of cloud management and cloud networking, and to further enhance the level of technology and services, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology has launched a campaign to collect outstanding cases in cloud management and cloud networking. The case selection process, which lasted for several months, conducted research and selection on a batch of domestically mature cloud management and cloud networking practice cases that have a demonstrative benchmarking role. This included company application, material review, and expert evaluation, ultimately determining the outstanding cases.

The "Futong Cloud Assists in Cover Media's Best Practice of Integrated Media Hybrid Cloud Management" winning the 2022 MSP Excellent Case Award fully demonstrates that Futong Cloud's technological innovation and comprehensive strength in cloud management services, as well as its industry implementation experience, have been unanimously recognized and affirmed.

In response to the practical business needs and challenges faced by Cover Media in the construction of its integrated media hybrid cloud management, Futong Cloud provided professional cloud management services (MSP) and the CMP2020 multi-cloud management platform. These services and platforms have assisted the company in upgrading and transforming its business systems and fully integrating IT resources, ensuring the secure and smooth operation of its business. Additionally, by establishing a unified heterogeneous multi-cloud resource platform, it has enabled unified operations, unified maintenance, unified monitoring, and unified alerting across multiple organizations, scenarios, applications, and environments. This has improved operational efficiency and thereby enhanced the company's digital capabilities in terms of insight, collaboration, and agility.

Becoming a Member of the Cloud Optimization Capability Enhancement Program

In the tide of digital transformation, enterprises are starting to migrate their key business systems to the cloud, and the primary way of using the cloud has shifted from a single cloud platform to a multi-cloud hybrid deployment model. Consequently, issues such as how to reasonably plan cloud migration strategies, how to effectively manage cloud resources, and how to optimize cloud cost expenditures have become the focus of widespread attention among enterprises.

To help more enterprises explore the path to enhancing their cloud capabilities, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, in conjunction with 33 units from industry, academia, and research, officially established the "Cloud Optimization Capability Enhancement Initiative" at the conference. The initiative aims to assist enterprises in improving the quality of cloud usage, comprehensively guide enterprises in clarifying the direction of cloud optimization, and contribute to the multi-dimensional development of new dynamics in the industry, while jointly building an efficient and high-quality cloud optimization industry development platform.

As an outstanding representative in the field of cloud management services, Futong Cloud has been invited to become a member unit of the Cloud Optimization Capability Enhancement Program. It will join hands with other member units to integrate high-quality resources, jointly contribute to the standardization of cloud management and cloud optimization, and promote the vigorous development of the cloud computing industry.

Cloud Optimization Guide That Futong Participated in Has Been Released

Currently, cloud computing is reshaping the IT consumption model of enterprises, with IT cost management transitioning from front-end assessment to back-end control, and cost types shifting from fixed costs to variable costs. Changes in the consumption model have exacerbated the waste of enterprise cloud expenditures, making the optimization and governance of cloud costs imperative.

To strengthen enterprise cloud cost optimization and governance, and to help enterprises enhance their own cloud cost operation capabilities, a cloud optimization guide was released at the conference to guide enterprises in clarifying the direction of cloud cost optimization. The guide, titled "Cloud Optimization Governance Practice Guide Part 1: Cost Optimization," was led by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and co-authored by Futong Cloud and other units.

The white paper summarizes and proposes a reference framework for enterprise cloud cost optimization. Enterprises can develop corresponding technical and management strategies and methods from strategic planning, resource procurement, cloud adoption pathways, cloud usage control, to continuous operations, in order to achieve cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.
