How to effectively leverage the value of data elements? --This has become a must-answer question for industry users in digital transformation and intelligent upgrading.
From the 2020 "Opinions on Building a More Complete Factor Market Allocation System Mechanism" for the first time made it clear that "data" has become one of the five major production factors. Opinions" (hereinafter referred to as: "Data Twenty") was officially promulgated, and the state has intensively introduced a number of policies related to data elements.
Undoubtedly, the promulgation of the "Twenty Articles on Data" indicates that with the in-depth development of the national digital economy, data elements will be fully accelerated, and it also means that many industries need to make preparations at the data strategy level. IDC and other authoritative consulting agencies believe that enterprises and organizations need to incorporate data strategies into their future development strategies as soon as possible, and the basic data platform will become the standard configuration for future industrial digitization.
Just as Chen Ziyun, Senior Vice President of H3C Group and Executive President of Tsinghua Unigroup and Intelligent Business Group, said: At present, the recognition of data value has been unprecedentedly improved, and data elements have become the core engine of digital economic development. H3C has been deeply involved in the field of big data for eight years to build The release of Oasis Platform 3.0 allows the release of the value of data elements not only in the present, but also in the future.
Where is the difficulty of data elementization
As we all know, from data to data elements and then to the release of the value of data elements is a long-term process, which not only involves the collection, cleaning, and flow of data, but also is closely related to how to use big data, artificial intelligence and many other technologies in the scene .
For example, as more and more users are building smart applications in digital transformation, data governance has become the primary and necessary link for the high-quality implementation of smart applications. Without high-quality data sets, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of artificial intelligence technology in business scenarios, let alone stimulate the potential and value of data elements.
In fact, after years of digital construction, users in many industries have generally accumulated some data, and have begun to try to use artificial intelligence, big data and other related technologies in some business scenarios, but there is still a long way to go before a comprehensive intelligent upgrade. Challenges, especially at the data base platform level, are the most prominent:
First of all, the speed, scale, and type of data generated by many enterprises and organizations are far superior to those in the past, which requires huge data processing and computing capabilities, and the efficiency of value mining of data elements is too low. Relevant statistics show that currently only 2% of the world's data is used for analysis, and the data injected into the AI model does not even reach 1%, and the release of the value of data elements still needs to be improved.
In addition, after years of digital construction, many companies have complex data processing-related technology stacks such as data lakes, data warehouses, and big data. They are seriously separated from each other, data cannot be efficiently flowed and shared, data movement operations are complicated, and collaboration efficiency is low. .
The last is the rapid increase of data consumption scenarios and consumer groups. Enterprises and organizations consume a lot of energy and manpower in data preparation, and the data consumption efficiency of data consumer groups is low. The contradiction between supply and demand between the data supply side and the consumption side is increasing day by day.
In the final analysis, in today's finance, government, manufacturing and other industries, whether it is the complexity of data, the iteration speed of data-related technologies, or even the degree of integration of scenarios, data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, it has been greatly improved, which indicates that building a basic data platform is an important task for enterprises. The key to future-proofing your organization.
As a leading company in the industry exploring data infrastructure platforms, H3C has continuously invested in the R&D and industry practice of the oasis platform in recent years. With the launch of Oasis Platform 3.0, H3C is committed to helping industry users build a future-oriented data infrastructure platform from the trinity of products, industry solutions, and services, bringing the optimal solution for the release of data elements.
Oasis Platform 3.0: Establishing a Data Platform Benchmark
Why is it said that the data platform is the standard configuration for the digital transformation of industry users to enter the in-depth stage?
Looking back at the digital construction process of most industry users, from the past data warehouse and data management to the later big data platform and data governance, it is essentially the process of enterprises exploring the value of data. As the digital transformation of enterprises enters an in-depth stage, the value release of data elements has become the core task. As the next evolution stage for enterprises to explore the value of data, data platforms play a key role in digital transformation.
In the author's opinion, the data platform is like the core hub of an enterprise's digital transformation. It is an overall platform that integrates data collection, integration, governance, organization management, and intelligent analysis. It provides data as a service to business scenarios for use in realizing Data-driven business and rapid digital innovation,
Among the many data platform products, H3C's oasis platform is one of the best. After eight years of continuous research and development and practice, the H3C Oasis platform has served more than 1,000 government and enterprise customers, covering nearly a hundred business scenarios, and its products have been fully tested in various industries.
"New H3C itself carries out digital transformation practices based on the Oasis platform. With the support of the full-stack capabilities of the Oasis platform, New H3C has built a complete digital transformation framework of '1 digital base + 6 major digital services' to create a decision-making cockpit and human digital portraits , Digital supply chain, accurate forecasting of financial indicators and other innovative applications to drive business growth, increase business sales, and empower business innovation, etc.” said Chen Ping, vice president and chief information officer of New H3C Group.
Since Oasis Platform 2.0, H3C has been committed to building a full-stack data platform centered on data collection, storage, management and application.
With the release of the Oasis Platform 3.0, the Oasis Platform has ushered in five major capability upgrades at the product level: real-time lake warehouses, intelligent data governance, data engineering, data assets, and scene suites, which have established a solid foundation for data platform products. benchmark.
In terms of real-time lake warehouse, Oasis Platform 3.0 real-time integration engine and lake warehouse integrated engine have evolved, with a real-time throughput of 150M/S and a performance improvement of 100 times; in terms of digital governance intelligence, the artificial intelligence algorithm model is integrated into the whole life of data engineering cycle, reducing the manpower for data governance services by 30%; in terms of data engineering, engineering data development and governance, creating standardized assembly line operations, and increasing the efficiency of collaborative development by 50%; in terms of data assetization, providing "four centers and one portal" The high-quality asset system, four centers are asset, operation, management and security centers, and one portal is the asset portal; in terms of scenario kitting, it connects with 200+ ISV ecological partners, covers 100+ subdivided scenarios, and integrates 6000+ index calculations to help The plan quickly landed in the industry.
"Oasis Platform 3.0 has a built-in AI algorithm, which makes data governance, data development and other complicated processes in the past extremely simple; in addition, Oasis Platform 3.0 also has the ability to build knowledge graphs, turning data into knowledge, so that it can be better used. The use of business scenarios fully releases the value contained in the data." Su Xingshan, chief of big data products of the cloud and intelligent product line of H3C Group, added.
In fact, whether it is a data center or a data platform, with the rapid iterative development of data technology, while the functions of data platform-related products are becoming more and more powerful, there are also some doubts about the inflexibility of the data platform. In particular, Internet companies have been dismantling middle platforms in recent years, making "how to build a data platform suitable for their own business development" a topic of concern to users in various industries.
In this regard, Chen Ping, vice president and chief information officer of New H3C Group, believes that "the simple way of doing business in large and medium-sized platforms is indeed too idealistic, and it is not convenient for independent innovation. However, the data platform/data middle platform is very important for many industry users who are undergoing digital transformation. It is of key significance. The data platform can realize the consistency of enterprise data standards; in addition, the data itself is very flexible. It is far more convenient and faster to do a data combination, data analysis or data consumption than a set of systems. The data center The flexibility itself is guaranteed.”
Taking H3C’s oasis platform as an example, H3C’s important work at the product level in recent years has been light weight, packaged and modularized, to ensure that the oasis platform can better adapt to the application needs of enterprises of various sizes, so as to truly help enterprises realize Data drives business.
Industry + service, so that the realization of data value is not absent
The construction of the data platform must be combined with the actual situation of its own business.
Users in different industries have differences in business, teams, and investment, and the size and complexity of the construction process vary greatly. However, in the construction of data platforms, no matter how big or small, link integrity is very necessary. In addition to the product level, what users also need is how to combine with industry characteristics and perfect services.
In my opinion, a future-oriented data platform product must have enough accumulation in key technologies such as intelligent lake warehouses and artificial intelligence to meet the various needs of different business scenarios for data platforms; it also needs to have a sound product and tools to provide users with a comprehensive tool system; in addition, it is necessary to have rich industry experience and business accumulation, understand the business pain points of industry users, and be able to output the value of data platforms for more industry users.
"Building a data platform is equivalent to buying a car. Products alone are not enough, and solutions and services are also indispensable. Otherwise, you just can't drive the car after buying it." Vice President of Cloud and Intelligent Product Line of H3C Group, Product Manager Chang Long, general manager of the management and solution department, said in a metaphorical way.
For this reason, in addition to five major capability upgrades, H3C Oasis Platform 3.0 has also launched five major industry solutions and six types of service capability guarantees. The trinity of products, solutions and services truly provides all-round assistance for industry users' data-driven.
It is reported that the five major industry solutions of H3C Oasis Platform 3.0 include data solutions for government affairs, water conservancy, education, medical care and enterprises. For example, in terms of water conservancy, the water conservancy digital twin data center solution based on H3C Oasis Platform 3.0 can realize real-time access to monitoring data, improve the efficiency of comprehensive water conservancy supervision, reduce supervision costs, empower knowledge and models, and support the "four pre-prediction" scenarios More precise and smarter.
