From September 4 to 6, the 2020 Fourth Bimodal IT Wuzhen User Conference, hosted by the Software Engineering and Evaluation Center of the China Electronics Standardization Institute and organized by the ITSS Data Center Operations Management Working Group (DCMG) and the Bimodal IT Alliance, was successfully held.

This conference, themed "Distributed Architecture Transformation for Core Systems in Deep Waters," brought together over 400 IT leaders from sectors including finance, state-owned enterprises, government, energy and power, education, and healthcare — including CIOs, development and testing leads, operations managers, and architects — to discuss distributed architecture transformation and bimodal IT innovation.

As a leading cloud management platform and service provider in the industry and a member of the Bimodal IT Alliance, Cloudchef was invited to attend the conference and showcased its latest SmartCMP cloud management solution at the exhibition area, attracting numerous industry professionals to stop by and engage in discussions.

In the wave of digital transformation, enterprises are rushing to adopt cloud. However, due to a lack of effective cloud resource management, problems such as IT resource waste, high maintenance complexity, and long delivery cycles frequently arise. Although enterprises have migrated to the cloud, they have not seen significant efficiency gains. How to effectively manage and leverage the cloud has become an urgent issue for enterprise IT development — cloud management has become the core of cloud adoption.

Cloudchef is a leading cloud management platform and service provider in the industry. Since its establishment, the company has been dedicated to building a unified, highly automated "Cloud Services + Cloud O&M + Cloud Operations" trinity IT service middle platform for enterprises, achieving a closed-loop cloud resource management system. Cloudchef actively promotes cloud management product R&D and industry application deployment, deeply understanding user needs across different scenarios, and providing comprehensive solutions for public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, development and testing cloud, and more.

The flagship product showcased at this conference — the SmartCMP cloud management platform — deeply supports the full VMware product line and provides unified management of over 40 types of cloud resources including VMware vSphere, OpenStack, K8S, AWS, Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and various SDN solutions. It features highly extensible capabilities to componentize "any resource," along with powerful blueprint modeling, standardized service configurations, and self-service catalogs, providing users with full lifecycle management from automated deployment, refined analysis, monitoring and operations, to cost optimization.

With its powerful hybrid cloud management technology, SmartCMP comprehensively integrates self-service, automation, ITaaS, ITSM, DevOps, automated operations, AIOps, and resource management and optimization on a single platform. This enables SmartCMP to meet enterprises' agility requirements for business and technology innovation while simultaneously satisfying stringent requirements for IT governance, efficiency, cost, and security.

Currently, cloud computing is leading the IT market and initiating a new round of restructuring in IT infrastructure and operations concepts. Cloudchef is rooted in China while actively expanding into overseas markets, building a comprehensive cloud management platform that integrates domestic and international business. Currently, over 100 mid-to-high-end enterprises have adopted the Cloudchef SmartCMP cloud management platform, gaining efficient IT resource management experiences and transitioning from traditional IT resource management to intelligent cloud management. These enterprises span industries including finance, government, energy, healthcare, education, high-end manufacturing, and the internet, including notable names such as Bank of Communications, Fujian Daily, and Zhejiang Daily Group.

In terms of building the industry chain ecosystem and partnering to create a cloud computing ecosystem, Cloudchef has established cooperative relationships with internationally leading IT vendors including VMware, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and EMC. At the same time, Cloudchef is building a domestically developed ecosystem, engaging in extensive cooperation with vendors such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Baidu Cloud, Kingsoft Cloud, UCloud, QingCloud, Sangfor, and Sugon. This has achieved comprehensive integration across products and solutions spanning public cloud, private cloud, virtual machines, containers, and databases, working with partners to deliver industry solutions based on the SmartCMP cloud management platform.
