Education is a national plan as well as a party plan. Insisting on giving priority to the development of education, speeding up the modernization of education and building an educational power is a long-term task for China to become a socialist modernization power. As a newly-created cloud computing expert, Huayun Data takes cloud computing as the core, plans and designs in a unified way, builds a cloud platform for university information systems, enhances the ability of educational modernization, and promotes the innovation and reform of educational service supply mode.

Business challenges

With the increasing number of business systems related to the construction of smart campus in Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, the existing cloud resources in the cloud platform are not enough, and it is urgent to expand the computing and storage resources accordingly to meet the needs of the school's business system going online in the next 1-2 years.

At the same time, with the increase of business systems, the requirements for network functions in the cloud platform are gradually increasing. The Ministry of Education requires the campus network to gradually adopt IPV6. However, the virtual network function in the cloud platform can no longer meet the demand, so it is necessary to enhance the network function of the cloud platform.

solution

In order to help Guangdong University of Foreign Studies to promote the construction of smart campus and improve the overall level of school informatization, Huayun Data has built a cloud platform with high performance, high availability, high efficiency and easy installation and maintenance for Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. After the first phase of construction, the cloud platform basically completed the unified management and scheduling of computing, storage, network and other resources, and realized the sensitive response and support of IT resources to business systems.

Programme results

After the completion of the cloud platform construction of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, the expansibility, resource utilization rate and flexibility have been qualitatively improved, which meets the requirements of smart campus construction for the underlying resources, specifically as follows:

Through the Huayun data cloud platform scheme, the split state of the existing cloud resource pool in the school has been changed, and a complete dynamic cloud resource pool has been formed, which has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent development of school informatization and the realization of hybrid cloud architecture.

The rapid development of a new generation of information technology provides more possibilities for deepening the reform of education and teaching. The application of new technologies such as cloud computing and big data has greatly improved the ability of modern education governance. As the core promoter of educational innovation and change, Huayun Data will further strengthen its independent research and development capabilities, constantly improve smart campus solutions, promote the construction of smart campuses, and help the high-quality development of national education.
