To streamline the management team of global IT operation

According to Tiens global information network management center and data center operation director Ding Chuanjie introduced, Tiens global IT by global information management center is responsible for the center is located in Wuqing, Tianjin Tiens International Health Industrial Park, at present there are about 80 development and test personnel and engineers, management information system by Tiens Group in more than 110 countries this streamlined global team to complete the.

Tiens Group Information Management Center of global based operation team of about 8 people, responsible for all network, server and storage management. In addition, there are more than 20 people in charge of overseas IT project implementation, the development of 20 to 30 people responsible for the independent IT projects, develop and maintain the remaining personnel responsible for testing, KM knowledge management system, e-mail system, BI business intelligence system. Among them, more than 20 overseas staff to implement IT project, in addition to landing for the IT project in the overseas, is also responsible for theoperation of information system in more than 110 countries around the world, the average person is responsible for the 5 countries. According to Ding Chuanjie introduction, basic maintenance team can be soefficient, one is to adopt the Tivoli management tools IBM and other safety and operation management tools,through the techniques of automation and improve the management efficiency, on the other hand isbecause overseas by Gong Youyun, reduce the difficulty of management.

For overseas public cloud ensure global business expansion

Tiens Group 4 existing global data center, located respectively in China Tianjin, Singapore, Ireland andAmerica etc, which is located in the Tianjin headquarters data center belongs to the self, the rest of the datacenter are using public cloud AWS amazon.

According to Ding Chuanjie introduction, Tiens Group since 2007 in Singapore, France and Britain, rentallocal room, built the data center, the maintenance and management of the workload is very big. Ding Chuanjie expresses, building and leasing local data center, there are many problems. First of all, equipment purchase and lease at the local, to overseas unable to implement the unified procurement group; secondly,in the management of fixed assets, overseas scrapping of fixed assets need to pay tax and the environmentthrough the Professional Company treatment; again, in the overseas leasing data center management,equipment by Tiens Group is responsible for the management, local custodian is responsible only for simpleroom maintenance, is not responsible for the work such as system upgrade. In addition, the most important is with the rapid expansion of Tiens Group business, IT system is also faced with the rapid expansion of thepressure, overseas custom data center can not keep up with the pace of business expansion needs.

According to the introduction, since the overseas custom data center migration to the public cloud, greatly reduce the maintenance difficulty and pressure overseas data centre. For example, increase or decrease the server one overseas or virtual machine, only need to be easily done in Tianjin local office openWebpage browser. Because overseas cloud data center is mainly responsible for the operation of the traditional direct sales business for the local, relatively Chinese business is relatively simple, so it can meet the using public cloud around the business needs.

In addition to the server virtual acquisition, Tiens Group also uses application virtualization and desktop virtualization technology, to the value of the Internet into full play, to create mobile productivity of globalization for enterprise employees. Tiens Group in Vietnam the earliest production began to useapplication virtualization Citrix publishing technology. Vietnam production base need to be equipped with theERP production management system, but the local water, electricity and other basic conditions is limited, the final choice of application deployment to Vietnam production base in Tianjin data center, data and applications are stored and installed in Tianjin data center, Vietnam production base related to the application of the remote computer through the use of local. According to Ding Chuanjie introduction,application virtualization Citrix release technique mainly solves the problem of low bandwidth and networkconditions of limited circumstances, problems of access applications. Through optimizing the algorithm of special transmission, transmission of the content on the Internet just as the mouse pointer and other simpleimage, so the Vietnamese local user experience is quite good, and Tianjin Based IT management is greatly simplified.

In desktop virtualization, Tiens Group after comparing the use of a desktop virtualization Citrix, fornationwide branch, 550 thin clients, 300 concurrent users and HQ users, provide desktop cloud services.Borrow a vivid metaphor, is to allow users to use in any device can whenever and wherever possible PC desktop their familiar, whether it is the mobile phone, tablet computer or notebook computer, but also whether Android, iOS or Windows operating system, the user can open the tabletop unified, complete the relevant work, and the data are stored in the data center, so as to ensure the safety of the data. In thenetwork connection, desktop virtualization Si Jie also solves the low bandwidth and network conditions limitedcircumstances, the problem of data access. Therefore, Tiens Group users can easily office in any place, the great liberation of labor.
