On June 26, 2023, the Amazon Cloud Technology China Summit will be grandly opened at the Shanghai World Expo Center! It kicked off with the theme "Visible by Construction". At present, more and more enterprise customers, as well as the requirements of local government regulatory agencies for enterprises, need enterprises to report their carbon footprint. Amazon cloud technology provides carbon footprint tools, which allow customers to see the complete process of actual calculation and help customers understand The carbon footprint of workloads on the Amazon cloud.
Build business resilience for sustainable growth
The transformation of new technologies and global business expansion have brought unlimited opportunities for enterprises. However, it cannot be ignored that enterprises still face many challenges and great uncertainties.
"In communicating with customers around the world, we found that reducing costs and increasing efficiency, ensuring business safety and compliance, and green transformation and development are becoming the focus of enterprises." Zhang Wenyi said. This coincides with Gartner's research. The results of the survey show that among the top ten strategic priorities that CEOs are most concerned about, compared with 2022, the most concerned ones are cost, management efficiency and productivity, and environmental sustainability. ; The top area where CIOs plan to increase investment in 2023 is network and information security.
In terms of cost reduction and efficiency increase, cloud vendors do their part - one of the core values of going to the cloud is cost savings. When enterprises migrate to the cloud, they can immediately save investment in fixed infrastructure, realize cost-effective resource usage through automatic expansion and contraction, and save costs for enterprises through hot and cold layered intelligent services. At the same time, distributed Resource architecture can build technical resilience for enterprises and achieve strong stability.
It is understood that Amazon cloud technology has 99 availability zones, which are composed of data centers deployed around the world, which can withstand almost any type or scale of disruption; and has a total of 32 local expansion zones and more than 450 network points around the world. It can provide lower latency for different application loads of customers. This enables customers to maintain stable services during business peaks and reduce operation and maintenance costs during valleys. At the same time, they can use Amazon Cloud Technology's rich cloud services to quickly develop and deploy, and flexibly and elastically respond to business needs, thereby realizing Reduce cost, improve quality and increase efficiency.
Currently, Serverless is becoming the choice of more and more enterprises—when running applications, they can automatically manage and mobilize resources on the cloud with the finest granularity, minimizing the waste of resources and saving costs. Amazon Cloud Technology has 17 years of technical accumulation in Serverless technology, providing cloud financial management methodology and more than 60 cloud-native tools and services to help customers better understand planning, management and optimization.
In addition to reducing costs and increasing efficiency, enterprises are facing more and more business security compliance challenges. For enterprises, at the infrastructure layer, it is necessary to ensure a highly available disaster recovery system, ensure business continuity, and ensure that user data is not lost or damaged; in terms of compliance, it is necessary to ensure that data resides locally and satisfies customer requirements. compliance requirements.
"Stability, safety, and compliance are life." Zhang Nan, President of Feishu, said that the company began to explore overseas as early as 2019. It currently has more than 100,000 employees worldwide, and its business covers 150 countries. languages. Feishu provides enterprise customers with an all in one collaborative management experience and builds a unified platform around the world, but at the same time, complex businesses also pose great technical challenges to Feishu.
"We work with Amazon Cloud Technology to provide customers with stable, safe, and compliant high-frequency payments. In terms of stability, Amazon Cloud has more than 600 instance types that can meet the needs of many product lines and business scenarios; in terms of storage , based on the multi-version capability of storage products, it can achieve zero loss of documents and roll back to the previous version in seconds at any time; in terms of security, Amazon Cloud Technology has helped build an industry-leading security solution and a high-availability disaster management system. backup system to ensure business continuity and ensure that user data is not lost or damaged; in terms of compliance, Amazon Cloud Technology provides 143 security standards and compliance certifications and more than 300 security-compliant functional technologies.” Zhang Nan said.
Relying on its global business layout and network coverage, Amazon Cloud Technology provides enterprises with a complete security platform to meet the security compliance requirements of the target market, thereby saving the "localized operation" of enterprises involved in platform security and compliance. Audit costs, and help the management of the enterprise to manage and supervise security considerations at the business level and geographical level; on the other hand, Amazon Cloud Technology relies on its global network coverage and extremely safe and easy-to-use cloud services system, securely and efficiently distribute data to global customers, and escort the digital construction of enterprises.
At the same time, sustainable development and realization of green transformation are the key to continuous construction for the future.
Accenture's report shows that companies that focus on both digital transformation technology and sustainable development are 2.5 times more likely to outperform their peers.
Amazon Cloud Technology currently has advanced energy efficiency optimization experience in comprehensive consideration of technology, site selection, and construction in the construction of data centers around the world. First, by optimizing the power supply mode, using renewable energy such as wind power and photovoltaics The second is to improve the cooling technology of the data center, and there are requirements for the planning, design, and construction of the data center; the third is to achieve hardware design innovations such as chips and servers to reduce energy consumption.
The third-party research company 451 Research’s research data on hundreds of enterprise self-built data centers covered by Amazon cloud shows that in terms of energy efficiency and utilization rate, Amazon cloud data centers are 3.6 times that of enterprise self-built data centers. Through continuous innovation in energy emission reduction, Amazon Cloud can also reduce the price of products provided to customers. It is understood that Amazon Cloud has achieved 129 price reductions since the provision of cloud services.
This not only brings benefits to customers, but also helps them realize the sustainable development vision of energy conservation and emission reduction. According to statistics, after a customer migrates their business from a self-built data center to Amazon Cloud, the customer's carbon footprint is reduced by nearly 80%.
Whether it is the digital transformation and innovation of enterprises, or the transformation and upgrading of various industries, to the beautiful vision of carbon neutrality. Amazon Cloud Technology has been actively exploring diversified ecological cooperation models to achieve a high level of autonomy and a deeper level of mutual benefit for all parties involved in the cooperation, to implement ecological cooperation and empower thousands of industries.
