On September 23rd, the online forum themed "Embracing the Opportunities of 'New Infrastructure' and Gaining a First-Mover Advantage in the 'Digital Economy'", hosted by DOIT, a leading domestic media outlet in the data intelligence industry, was successfully held. Industry experts and corporate representatives actively discussed the rapid progress and in-depth application of advanced technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and industrial internet. Mr. Sihong Dai, Vice President of Futong Cloud, was invited to deliver a keynote speech on "How Professional Cloud Service Providers Can Participate in New Infrastructure," providing an in-depth interpretation of the new opportunities under the new infrastructure.

New Infrastructure Accelerates the Digital Economy

On March 4th, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting, emphasizing the need to "increase investment in public health services and emergency material security, and accelerate the construction progress of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers." To date, the CPC Central Committee has mentioned the development of new infrastructure in six meetings.

"New infrastructure" is an important means to stabilize investment, expand domestic demand, and stimulate economic growth; the rapid development of technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and industrial internet has pressed the accelerator for the digital economy. Analysis suggests that the scale of domestic investment in new infrastructure in 2020 is expected to exceed 2 trillion yuan; over the next five years, the investment scale in 5G infrastructure will also surpass 2 trillion yuan, with data centers seeing an additional investment scale of over 110 billion yuan. Companies in the fields of servers, storage, and operations and maintenance will directly benefit, driving investment, promoting consumption, and accelerating the deep integration of information technology with the real economy, making the digital, networked, and intelligent transformation of China's industries more robust.

How Professional Cloud Service Providers Can Participate in New Infrastructure

In the process of digital transformation, enterprises often face challenges such as balancing resource efficiency and costs, rapid growth in user scope, innovative transformation of applications, technology updates, improving data governance, and data acquisition. Sihong Dai stated that the "new" in new infrastructure is reflected in the digital transformation of various industries, and the important cornerstone of enterprise digital transformation is the unification and service-oriented approach to information system resource capabilities. The capabilities of traditional IT operations and maintenance cannot meet the demands of the "new" business forms. The application of professional cloud management services is an inevitable trend in the digital transformation of enterprises. Sihong Dai introduced that in terms of empowering digital transformation, Futong Cloud focuses on "full-stack cloud management services" and provides professional Cloud Management Services (MSP). It has independently developed a multi-cloud management platform (CMP2020 and MSP Public Cloud Management Service Platform), Cloudoor Desktop Security Desktop Cloud Platform, CloudoorSphere Server Virtualization Cloud Platform, ITGo Operations and Maintenance Management Platform (virtualization operations and maintenance and automated operations and maintenance), and Enterprise Cloud Disk, among other platform products.

Among them, the professional Cloud Management Services (MSP) can deeply explore the pain points of enterprise cloud adoption, providing comprehensive cloud-based solutions that include consultation and planning, business migration, real-time data transformation, cloud hosting and operations and maintenance, cloud data security, performance optimization, and technical training.

The multi-cloud management platform CMP2020 is primarily designed to manage hybrid and multi-cloud services, achieving unified management of multi-cloud environments, automated security operations and maintenance, ensuring cloud expenditures are under control, and rapidly completing business delivery. The MSP Public Cloud Management Service Platform is mainly a lightweight SaaS service platform for managing multiple public cloud resources, providing lifecycle management for IaaS and PaaS service resources. Currently, Futong Cloud has assisted clients across various industries, including healthcare, retail, manufacturing, transportation, finance, media, and education, with cloud deployment and operations and maintenance, reducing the cost of enterprise IT services, enhancing core competitiveness, and achieving innovation-driven and high-quality development. In the post-pandemic era, the digital transformation process is accelerating across all industries. The innovation and application of advanced technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and industrial internet will continuously promote the comprehensive development of the social economy.
