On June 7, the 2023 China Financial Industry Digital Transformation Development Conference was held in Nanjing. The conference discussed hot topics such as the huge impetus of the financial industry to the digital economy and how to accelerate the growth of the digital economy by promoting digital infrastructure. Industry experts from city commercial banks, rural commercial banks, private banks, and financial technology companies attended the meeting and collided with each other. Liu Xin, Director of the Infrastructure Technology Laboratory of China Electronics Financial Research Institute, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Construction of Cloud Native Data Centers in the Financial Industry" at the meeting.
Liu Xin pointed out that the current construction of new digital infrastructure is at the right time. The new digital infrastructure has the characteristics of new computing power, new architecture, and cloud native, which can fully meet the rapid iteration requirements of new financial services and become a "new engine" for the high-quality development of the digital economy.
Grasping the "time" and "trend" of financial digital transformation, China Electronics has launched a new digital infrastructure financial-level digital base "Yuanqi". "Yuanqi" is a technology base that can reliably replace the traditional architecture. It meets the requirements of industry applications for high security, high reliability, high performance, ultimate experience, high-speed construction and green sustainability, and helps the deep digital transformation of the economy and society.
"Yuanqi" is mainly composed of basic operation support platform, digital construction platform, and data asset platform. Focusing on the basic operation support platform level, CLP Jinxin advocates enterprises to build cloud-native open data centers. Focusing on the pain points and problems in the coexistence of hybrid architecture, monitoring and operation management, safe and stable operation, digital transformation of operation and maintenance, cloud technology stack selection, and application cloud landing in the process of building a cloud-native open data center, China Power Financial Trust has combined years of industry experience The practice proposes a cloud-native open data center reference architecture.
The cloud-native open data center reference architecture starts from data center architecture consulting, supports data center cloudification, applies cloud-native deployment, and is an open and decoupled data center architecture system that can be customized with all components. It has full-stack code definitions and full-stack openness . The characteristics of decoupling, consistent full-stack state, and full-stack data-driven can achieve resource efficiency, agile application, cost reduction and efficiency increase, and continuous improvement in the data center.
"The cloud-native open data center reference architecture includes infrastructure services, IT service management platform, and IT data management platform, which can bring three aspects of value to the financial industry. " Liu Xin explained.
" First, CLP Jinxin Cloud's original open data center reference architecture is open and decoupled. Banks can inherit the technology stack used in the internal data center and make secondary innovations based on the previous technology accumulation. Second, for enterprises, it provides a comprehensive Stack independent and safe technology stack, even the components can be customized on demand, and through the open cooperation of component manufacturers, the open and continuous operation of the technology stack can be realized. Third, relying on China Electronics’ independent computing industry chain, CLP Financial can Provide customers with professional support for the entire industry chain to achieve industrial collaboration."
At present, China Electronics Financial Trust is helping several city commercial banks to implement cloud-native data analysis solutions, and is also helping a rural credit association and city commercial banks plan the introduction of a new generation of data center project architecture. Based on rich industry practice, in terms of data center construction, China Telecom Financial Trust recommends that financial institutions should proceed step by step and implement according to the construction path of partial, pilot and promotion. CLP Jinxin will provide full-path support and services during project implementation, and work with customers to promote the construction and implementation of cloud-native data centers.
