Editor's note: This article is reprinted from the vice president of NetEase, NetEase Hangzhou Research Institute executive president Wang source of public personal number "cold hot technology thinking" (Welcome Concerned). 7.26 Yunchuang summit , the source Wang promised to write three articles, and strive to make it clear what is in the table, when to consider Jianzhong table, how Jianzhong table. Today is the first objective is to clarify what is in Taiwan. The following is the text:
the concept stage of a heat, a lot of things are in the paradoxical concept to the hash table, all of a sudden a lot of units, such as business units, data units, technology units, the algorithm sets, mobile in Taiwan and so on. In particular, many formerly known platform, but now they are transformed into the stage, jump on the bandwagon.
Too broad a concept is disadvantageous, if casually are in Taiwan, it will inevitably lead to many so-called failure of the project in Taiwan, leading to the station useless. Therefore, it is necessary to make the concept stage of a more precise definition.
What is the station?
To define the table, it is important to be able to relatively clear distinction between the station and platforms. The station and platforms are some common ability to distinguish the focus of both the first, to see whether they have business property, and second, to see whether an organization. Taiwan is in the foreground to support multiple services and business properties have in common the ability to organize, support for multiple platforms is the front desk or table in the common business and do not have the ability to service the property.
Why the emphasis on the station must have a business property? You can look at an example. What we can analyze the data in the table. If a business is all business data is stored in Oracle, we can say that this is the Oracle database data sets do? Obviously everyone will say it is not (otherwise in Taiwan not decades old as the hills?). So now many companies replaced Hadoop, all business data in a Hadoop cluster, data sets can say is it? Obviously not, this is nothing more than Hadoop with Oracle as the original saved a pile of data. Some say it is because this is just a Hadoop cluster system, the station must be an organization. Then we add the construction and maintenance of this team Hadoop cluster, add up to the whole table yet?
Still not, because this team is not required for the business owners, do not have business property. And now we are more accepted data sets, referring ensure OneID, OneData be organized to achieve, so that the data is no longer independent of each front-end business management, but to achieve in terms of data identification, indicators, data warehouse through a unified team cross-business integration. The reason for this you will think that the data is truly in Taiwan, because the index must be business-oriented, building a data warehouse must also contain some business logic. So it is not that big Hadoop data sets, but big data platform.
We can also see that the table or platform where the business related to the environment. A service for the same capacity, it is likely to have such properties in service stations, but there is no traffic for the service B is thereby attribute internet. For example, IDC construction, operation and maintenance of AWS can be described as critical business units, while the vast majority of enterprises can only say that platform. PaaS platform for SaaS vendors are business units, but the vast majority of enterprises can only say that platform.
So, do not have the ability to service attributes, even common, even with a full-time department is doing, even if the business is very important, can not be called in Taiwan, but still should be called platform. Otherwise there will be a lot of variety of business units and eight pole could not beat, confuse the public. Therefore, it should be said that all business units in Taiwan are no other types of units. Data sets, search units, content units, retail units, etc., are a particular form of business in Taiwan, it is still business units.
Taiwan also requires the definition of the following two points:
1. The station is a commonality in the ability to organize, support multiple services.
2. In the table are multiple front-office support.
The first point Needless to say, only the ability to support a business at least temporarily can not be called in Taiwan (Yes, there can be further planning or construction possibilities station). The emphasis on the second point is because there are too many of the company's business is not to play down the front desk, but by the account at the financial background to do it. There is theoretically possible, but we should support such enhanced capabilities in Taiwan do account yet? For those who provide professional services companies do account, really need this in Taiwan, but this time do account is that it's a business reception.
Taiwan is not defined in the construction of the hierarchy table is defined. The station can be built on many levels, not to say that must be an enterprise or group level. BU BG levels and the construction of stations tend to be more common and usually makes sense. Even smaller dimension example dozens of small departments in Taiwan also very valuable. For example, a small team can do the electric provider business, then if a set of useful electricity supplier in Taiwan would be a big help, and in fact there are many companies in the industry to provide such capabilities.
What are typical in Taiwan?
In addition to often say that business in Taiwan, we often hear the data sets, user station, station search, recommendation Taiwan, content units, technology units, the algorithm sets, mobile-Taiwan, Taiwan and so on R & D XX series in Taiwan argument, but these units are not necessarily true in Taiwan.
As already mentioned, a broad sense includes all business units in Taiwan, the direction XX in different segments are business units in Taiwan, it reflects some of the units in the business or technical characteristics. But often only to refer to the online business in Taiwan with operations in Taiwan. Based on this assumption, the current stage in the typical real only roughly following:
01 (narrow) business in Taiwan
Generally refers to the online service is typically characterized station. In OLDI (Online Data-Intensive) era, more and more of the company's core business is the online business, so the online business in Taiwan for short business units. But for those not in the online business-oriented enterprises, it needs business units may not be the online business in Taiwan, but rather the data table or anything else in Taiwan.
02 data sets
Generally it refers to data acquisition, data integration, data management, and data warehousing unified index system construction and other data management activities for the typical characteristics of Taiwan. Similarly, in OLDI era, data sets and more important. Narrow business in Taiwan is also responsible for online business in Taiwan OLDI the OL (Online), data station responsible for OLDI the DI (Data-Intensive).
03 user stations
Users in Taiwan can be considered a special kind of data in the table, the general user ID unified, global user portrait construction, global membership system construction and other typical features. Users in Taiwan is very common, they tend to be more common than in broader data sets. Many companies can not afford to build more comprehensive data in the table, but the construction of the center members and other users in Taiwan.
04 contents of China-Taiwan
Table contents often may be considered as a special kind of data units, generally purchase content, content crawling, processing content, content and other typical security feature.
05 search recommendation in Taiwan
This is more like two in Taiwan, because the search and recommendation technology is quite similar. Both stations are generally provided in a relatively standard workflow for search and recommendation systems, while supporting all aspects of the process can be customized capabilities to support the rapid development of multiple front recommendation search business.
Of course there are many other business needs in the construction stage, say US Mission / hungry yet, the local distribution system can be built into the units, provided that this system is not only for the room. In the electricity supplier industry, often with a single channel operation system and team to support each BU (usually divided by category), it can be said that in Taiwan.
Technology / algorithm / mobile / R & D in the current base station does not exist
In general, there is no technology in Taiwan, because the technology-typical features, but also with business property in Taiwan too difficult to find, not a good case. We can take a look at the so-called technology industry in Taiwan, includes a series of online business from IaaS to middleware technology, but it can call these in Taiwan do? Each module can be put inside out analysis to ensure you can not find a word associated with the business. So these are not in Taiwan.
In fact, the company only said A business units and data units. Other consulting firms in Taiwan are some of the people know the truth far-fetched or made out.
Not to say that Taiwan can not be art, but did not need a special technique called the station, rather than business units. For the provision of technical services business, its business prospects is the technology front desk, it is the technology business units in Taiwan. For example SaaS vendors in Taiwan is often a PaaS, then this can be called PaaS technology in Taiwan, but also the manufacturer's business units. The same a PaaS, for most other companies, it becomes just support the business but does not have a business property technology platform. So, to avoid confusion, leading to the platform, say that in Taiwan, as Taiwan insisted that the technology does not exist.
By the same token, the mobile station only seems to make mobile application development services (for example, a lot of outsourcing manufacturers) businesses in Taiwan is, but for these businesses in mobile station that is its business units, so I would rather not come up with a new term in such mobile units as well.
So, what is the research and development stage? H's full-time R & D department is responsible for all front-end support for business R & D, so that people can hear gunfire battle command, may be worthy of the R & D stage.
In a word, the current technology is not good / algorithms / mobile / R & D in Taiwan, those who promote these out in the table is either confused middle-own concept, confused, or is a liar. But none of these sets of instructions in the industry has accumulated in this area is not enough, is a lack of hope have been a real table out these years.
This is the first article in the series table, the purpose is to clarify what is in Taiwan, what is not in Taiwan. The next will discuss when and how to build stations under construction in Taiwan, so stay tuned.
