Join China Mobile to accelerate the transformation of 5G-oriented network
At present, the global operators face the great opportunity and challenge of network transformation, from traditional network to general server, open source cloud computing Platform Network function Virtualization (NFV) technology architecture evolution, to improve network efficiency and reduce costs, become the general consensus of the telecommunications industry. At present, the NFV application scheme is still in the process of exploration, and how the server and other infrastructures can better meet the telecom application needs of it, is a problem that the whole industry pays close attention to.
To this end, China Mobile United Intel Company launched the Otii project in ODCC, the primary goal is to form the telecommunications industry for the network it transformation of the depth of customization, open standards, Unified Standard Server technology solutions. ODCC by Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, China Telecom, Chinese mobile, China Shun Tong Hospital, Intel was launched in 2014 to build China's data center open platform, promote the integration of servers, data centers, open networks and other industries to standardize, promote industrial cooperation, innovation and new technology applications. At present, the Otii project has been formally completed in the ODCC Server Working Group, and the ODCC member units of the positive response, currently involved in this project companies include Huawei, Wave, Lenovo, Shuguang, ZTE, beacons, Xinhua three more than 10 mainstream server and component suppliers, More vendors are expected to join the project.
Du Yu Yang, director of Asia market development at Intel's Network platform division, said in a speech that Intel is partnering with a wide range of partners to drive the transition to an agile, flexible and scalable network architecture for the rise of the data economy and the trend towards cloud integration. In this process, NFV is the key technology to achieve this transformation. Intel has long maintained close technical cooperation with China in traditional it, cloud computing, network and data center areas. The joint launch of the Otii project, it is the two sides to promote NFV-oriented network transformation and cloud transformation of the latest cooperation results. With its strong technology accumulation and rich ecosystem resources, Intel is committed to working in depth with operators, research institutions and server providers to lead the network to a wave of transformation.
The Otii server focuses on the future business needs of the carrier network it application scenario. The project will introduce network acceleration, NUMA balanced and other technologies; Unified hardware BIOS setup and Device management interface; As far as possible to unify the core device selection and hardware configuration and so on, in order to enhance server performance, stability and compatibility, enhance deployment and operational dimension efficiency, better support the future development of telecommunications business.
