Recently, the Government Cloud Resource Efficiency Evaluation Method, led by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) in collaboration with local government cloud authorities and cloud service providers, was officially released and put into implementation. Futong Cloud participated in the compilation as a contributing unit. Mr. Zhang Ling, General Manager of the Cloud Products and Service Solutions Center of Futong Cloud, was awarded the title of “Outstanding Expert in 2025 Digital Government Standardization Construction.”
Against the backdrop of accelerating government service efficiency and coordinated urban governance, government cloud has evolved from an underlying technical platform into critical infrastructure supporting digital government transformation and fostering new quality productive forces. However, in the practice of “building cloud, migrating to cloud, and utilizing cloud,” compliance in resource application, efficiency in resource utilization, standardization in operations management, and long-term sustainability in continuous optimization have become core challenges in government cloud management.
In response to these challenges, the standard explores standardized approaches to improving government cloud resource efficiency from the perspectives of service management mechanisms and service implementation specifications. It aims to establish a scientific and unified benchmark to measure and enhance resource efficiency, bringing together industry, academia, research, and application stakeholders to promote the transition of government cloud from “availability” to “excellence,” achieving both quality and efficiency improvement.
From Standard to Implementation: The Practical Path of Futong CloudObs Government Cloud Supervision Solution
The introduction of a unified evaluation standard marks a turning point in government cloud development—from prioritizing scale to emphasizing efficiency. During the compilation process, transforming complex resource data into intuitive efficiency indicators became a key industry topic. Based on years of frontline experience in government cloud governance across multiple regions, Futong Cloud has sought to translate practical experience in resource reduction and cost optimization into standardized evaluation dimensions, providing more operational reference for the industry.
The CloudObs Government Cloud Supervision Solution is a practical tool developed by Futong Cloud for complex government cloud environments. Centered on supervision and efficiency evaluation, CloudObs focuses on indicator systems, data governance, evaluation processes, and result application, providing supervisory authorities with executable standards, traceable processes, and quantifiable outcomes.
Yunguang focuses on three core application scenarios in government cloud supervision:
01 External Service Evaluation
Evaluates the service capabilities of cloud service providers (cloud platforms). Through scientific analysis combining subjective and objective indicators, it generates objective ratings to support service selection.
02 Internal Capability Assessment
Assesses the effectiveness and capability of cloud-supported business operations, enabling management to understand platform service capacity and providing objective support for planning, optimization, and adjustment.
03 Trusted Data Reporting
Establishes a bottom-up data aggregation mechanism within multi-level management systems. Through automated data collection and standardized processing, it enhances the credibility and comparability of supervisory data.
In terms of capability design, CloudObs:
Deeply understands national and local government cloud indicator systems and supports flexible integration and adaptation of national, industry, and local standards;
Establishes a closed-loop process covering data collection, reporting, verification, and scoring to standardize evaluation procedures and ensure objective results;
Supports multi-dimensional management of evaluation subjects and customizable report output to meet diverse supervisory scenarios and management levels;
Enhances efficiency while ensuring data security and evaluation fairness through automated data collection and access control mechanisms.
Multi-Regional Practice Validates Government Cloud Efficiency Improvements
In multiple regional government cloud implementations, CloudObs has supported supervisory authorities in establishing a regulatory system covering resource application, operation monitoring, service evaluation, and result feedback.
In certain provinces and cities, CloudObs has conducted systematic evaluation and continuous monitoring of government cloud resources, reducing unreasonable resource usage and implementing refined management based on storage utilization rates, service quality, and service satisfaction indicators. In one city, this approach effectively optimized government cloud resource allocation, reducing cloud service costs by over ten million RMB in a single city while improving overall service capability and operational quality.
In regions with complex multi-cloud environments, unified management and indicator-based supervision have enabled centralized data collection and unified monitoring across multiple cloud platforms. This has promoted online service catalogs, standardized resource application and approval processes, and closed-loop management of metering, billing, and invoice administration, providing reliable data support for long-term operation and continuous optimization of government cloud systems.
The release of the Government Cloud Resource Efficiency Evaluation Method marks a new stage in government cloud development guided by efficiency and quality. The standard provides a common language for the industry and sets a direction for refined management and high-quality development of government cloud. Futong Yunteng will continue participating in standard research and practical exploration, leveraging products and solutions such as Yunguang, Yunjing, and Yunshu to assist government cloud authorities at all levels in continuously improving resource utilization efficiency and governance capability, and to support the steady advancement of digital government development.
In the field of government cloud management, the Futong Cloud team continuously tracks and studies national and local policies and standards related to digital government and government cloud development. It has successfully established a scientific methodology for government cloud construction and management. Its services include government cloud supervision services, government cloud management consulting services, government cloud management platform software products, government cloud management solutions, and government cloud quality and efficiency evaluation solutions, forming comprehensive service capabilities for today’s complex government cloud environments. Relying on nearly 30 years of industry insight and practical experience from Futong Technology Group, the team collaborates with multiple government cloud stakeholders. Through product and service delivery, it helps partners establish more comprehensive cloud construction, management, and supervision capabilities, building an ecosystem for the government cloud industry.
