Cloud computing service: there are standards to be trusted

“In 2015, the overall scale of China's cloud computing industry reached 150 billion yuan. In 2016, the growth of major cloud computing enterprises in China has doubled. At the same time, the cloud computing trust system has been gradually established, and the trusted cloud certification has been widely recognized by the industry. More than 10 kinds of cloud services have been covered, and the number of certified cloud services has exceeded 150.” At the 2017 Trusted Cloud Conference held in Beijing recently, Chen Jiachun, deputy director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said .

Chen Jiachun believes that the work of trusted cloud has played a positive role in promoting the establishment and improvement of China's cloud service trust system. “The recognition of Trusted Cloud in the country has been continuously improved and it has become a veritable 'green pass' on the market.”

The core objective of Trusted Cloud Service Certification is to establish an evaluation system for cloud services, provide support for users to choose trusted and secure cloud services, and ultimately promote the healthy and orderly development of China's cloud computing market.

This year's Trusted Cloud Conference launched the eighth batch of services that have passed the Trusted Cloud Certification, including the Trusted Cloud Hosting Hierarchy, Trusted Cloud Hybrid Cloud, and the theme of “Reputable Cloud Standards for Next Generation, Customer Satisfaction is the Future”. A series of results including Trusted Cloud Hyper-convergence, Trusted App Store, and IT Risk Manager.

Why do you want to be a trusted cloud service certification?

In 2015, the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Innovation and Development of Cloud Computing and Cultivating the New Format of the Information Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), pointing out that in order to promote the innovation and development of cloud computing in China, we will actively cultivate new formats of the information industry and support third-party organizations to carry out cloud computing. Evaluation and evaluation of service quality, credibility and network security, and guide cloud computing service enterprises to strengthen internal management, improve service quality and integrity, and gradually establish a cloud computing trust system.

"Trusted cloud assessment is the effort and exploration to build a trust system for the cloud computing industry." Chen Jiachun said. The Trusted Cloud Service Certification was launched in 2013 and is an evaluation and certification for cloud computing services tested and evaluated by the China Institute of Information and Communications.

“After years of development, the Trusted Cloud Assessment has evolved from a single assessment for cloud computing services to a pre- and post-to-post comprehensive monitoring assessment, establishing cloud computing basic services and product assessments, special capability assessments, availability monitoring, and A comprehensive evaluation system including cloud insurance, etc., said Dai Xiaohui, vice chairman and executive deputy secretary general of China Communications Standards Association, when introducing the overall development of the Trustworthy Cloud assessment.

According to reports, Trusted Cloud has carried out research on the application of cloud computing in traditional industries such as government, finance and telecommunications. The standardization work has progressed steadily and positive progress has been made. The domestic evaluation and completion of the "Government-Oriented Cloud Service" series of evaluation standards. In terms of international standardization, in 2016, the Trusted Cloud Assessment was successfully written into international standards and became part of the International Telecommunications Union ITU-TY.3501 (Cloud Computing Framework and High Level Requirements).

"Currently, with the rapid development of China's ICT (Information and Communication Technology) industry, China is playing an increasingly important role in international standards organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union, from the original 'followers' are gradually becoming 'leaders' '." Dai Xiaohui said.

Specific to the field of trusted cloud service certification, in terms of basic services and products, including IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), Enterprise SaaS (Software as a Service), Cloud Distribution, Desktop Cloud and Cloud Backup Evaluation of cloud computing services, evaluation of cloud computing software such as virtualization products, virtualization management products, and container products, as well as hyper-convergence, hybrid cloud, operation and maintenance products, and private cloud project maturity assessment.

Based on the basic services and product evaluation, Trusted Cloud also conducts special evaluations on risk management and control capabilities, operation and maintenance capabilities, customer data protection capabilities and performance of cloud computing services and products. After passing the assessment, the cloud service provider will continue to accept the availability monitoring in the event, and the trusted cloud will classify the cloud hosting service based on the availability monitoring results. After the event, Trusted Cloud provided cloud insurance to protect the cloud service.

Standard guarantees cloud computing service advantages

"The policy environment of China's cloud computing industry is constantly improving. Under the guidance of the "Opinions," China is increasing government procurement of cloud computing services and significantly reducing the number of government-built data centers." Zhao Xuxuan, deputy director of the government procurement center of the central government, said . At present, the government and industry management departments from the central to the local have already had procurement services and corresponding deployment cases that use cloud services to meet the needs of information construction.

Cloud computing services have many advantages over traditional government information system construction. “Government procurement cloud computing services can save a lot of government informationization costs; cloud computing resources intensive use can promote government energy conservation and emission reduction; because cloud computing is not limited by geography, it can effectively promote the implementation of government procurement policy functions; resources and The concentration of data is conducive to big data integration and development and government information disclosure, which can better meet the needs of the public for government data usage and information disclosure." Zhao Xuxuan said.

In the procurement bidding for virtualization software for the first time last year, the China Information and Communication Research Institute gave support and assistance in the formulation of technical standards. "This year, as the cloud computing service enters the Central Purchasing Unit's centralized procurement catalog, we will study the launch of cloud computing services for government procurement after the software product bidding is completed." Zhao Xuxuan said frankly that these are based on the standardization and development of standards. Up.

To build a risk management and standards system for cloud computing information security and network security, only service certification is not enough. How to build a network risk security system, Yao Qinghai, president of the China Insurance Association, believes that it is first necessary to improve the collection standard system of network risk data standards, establish a database of network risk security standards, and establish a data model for evaluating the network risks of various industries. On this basis, Construct the entire risk prevention and control system for the risk of managing the entire society.

At the Trusted Cloud Conference, the China Insurance Association also established the “Network Risk and Insurance Professional Committee” with the China Information and Communication Research Institute, and established the “Network Risk and Insurance Innovation Lab”.

"We will work together with a large number of innovative companies to study network risk standards, network risk models, and network risk assessment systems." Yao Qinghai said.

The cloud computing industry continues to exert strength

With the development of the cloud computing industry, the trusted cloud service certification system is constantly improving. "Industry organizations represented by the data center alliance should actively bridge the gap between the government and the industry, give full play to the platform role of the industry consensus, and continue to increase the work related to standards, technologies, applications, and evaluation of the cloud computing industry. Intensity, constantly launching new research results, promoting the solution of problems in the development of cloud computing service industry, and helping China's cloud computing industry take off." Chen Jiachun said.

In addition, the application of cloud computing technology can promote the on-demand supply of information technology capabilities and the full use of data resources, effectively reduce the information threshold and innovation costs of enterprises, and also meet the current implementation of the "Internet +" strategy and innovation and entrepreneurship in all walks of life, The urgent need to promote information transformation and transformation and upgrading.

Chen Jiachun hopes that domestic cloud computing enterprises can seize this opportunity to strengthen the integration and innovation of the Internet of Things, mobile Internet, Internet finance, e-commerce technology and services, and create a collaborative and win-win cloud computing service ecosystem. Helping to nurture new formats and new models to meet the growing demand for application services.

At the same time, it should be noted that China's cloud computing industry still has a certain gap in terms of core technology compared with foreign advanced level, especially in the cloud computing infrastructure platform and equipment virtualization technology.

In this regard, Chen Jiachun said that the industry needs to pay more attention to technology research and development, increase investment, and achieve breakthroughs as soon as possible. "It is hoped that domestic cloud computing enterprises will actively participate in open source community activities and use open source innovation to form technological spillovers of advantageous enterprises and drive breakthroughs in China's cloud computing technology."

Zhang Jianhua, director of the Marketing Department of the Information and Communication Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also put forward suggestions and hopes for cloud service operators: honesty and trustworthiness, legal operation, including carrying out business activities in accordance with the qualifications of licenses, Must be; continue to innovate, optimize service, truly achieve customer satisfaction; enterprises can mutually benefit each other, jointly maintain a good industrial ecology; undertake social responsibility that matches the scale and strength of the enterprise.
