He can be called the strongest "God of War" in the IT field. He has been in business for 8 years and has been robbed countless times, but he has never wavered and has always insisted. Today, Yi Sijie, the founder, has made great efforts to advance into the top three domestic original technology enterprises, and its products have won the support and choice of hundreds of users. He insists on being China's own cloud and China's VMware! He is Yang, the founder of Eslite, a domestic virtualization manufacturer.
Yi Sijie Yang Fu Bing, one of the earliest IT people who came into contact with cloud computing and virtualization in China, has 16 years experience in the cloud computing industry. Before 2008, I worked in the software department of Intel (later independent from Landesk), from research and development to technology to business contact.
At that time, in the virtualization market, apart from foreign VMware, there was a big gap in domestic virtualization software. At this moment, he had his own thoughts and ideas: Can I also build a virtualization technology that belongs to China people and be a VMware of China? After several months of research and serious thinking, Yang's eyes are locked in the field of virtualization. He believes that with the development of the Internet and the large-scale adoption of cloud computing, virtualization, as an important underlying technology, has a broad market space in the future. I immediately spent a year preparing, forming a team, conducting market research and developing products. In 2009, Yang invested in the establishment of Eslite, focusing on the development and sales of virtualization and cloud management products.
Looking back on Yi Sijie's development experience in the past eight years, Yang said that it is difficult to describe it as "twists and turns". He recalled that at the beginning of Eslite's establishment, after the products entered the research and development stage. As time went on, we found that the funds were getting less and less, but the number of customers did not increase. Then the entrepreneurial partners quit one after another for family and life reasons. At this time, the product is not perfect enough and still needs to be upgraded and improved. Facing the present situation, Yang did not waver at all. Since he insisted on this direction, he gritted his teeth and stuck to it, sold his house in Beijing, increased his investment in Eslite and conducted technology research and development.
Soon, another open source KVM technology appeared, which made Yi Sijie see hope, because the compatibility of KVM is better than XEN, which solved the compatibility defects.
After the first product came out, many enterprises paid attention to it, but at the same time it was also questioned. Tsinghua University is one of them. "You are a newly established company. How can I choose you? " It was a question raised by the customer at that time. After many field product verifications with Tsinghua University, Eslite's virtualization products won unanimous praise from teachers in Tsinghua University for their high quality, stable operation and ease of use, and finally won the contract. Later, Yi Sijie broke through various difficulties and completed many projects including State Administration for Industry and Commerce, Hangzhou Huashu, China Construction Bank, Guangfa Bank and China Southern Power Grid, with nearly 500 core users, and Hangzhou Huashu alone reached the virtualization scale of nearly 3,000 units.
With the rapid development of Internet, more and more traditional enterprises begin to transform and embrace virtualization technology, so as to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The 13th Five-Year Plan also mentions accelerating the construction of a new generation of high-speed, mobile, secure and ubiquitous information infrastructure, promoting the wide application of information network technology, and focusing on breaking through key technologies such as big data, cloud computing and autonomous controllable operating systems.
Yang said frankly that this is a policy orientation and an opportunity. Driven by the policy, domestic virtualization and cloud enterprises have emerged one after another, facing difficulties and creating localized cloud and virtualization software with independent intellectual property rights. Facing the problems of high price, poor security and lack of localization of foreign virtualization products, domestic virtualization software can better meet the needs of domestic enterprises, with strong ease of use and high flexibility. In addition, compared with foreign products with higher prices, domestic virtualization products have higher cost performance, so domestic virtualization products still have certain competitiveness and advantages.
At present, in entrepreneurial companies, Eslite's virtualization and cloud products are highly compatible with domestic users in terms of cost performance, stability and ease of use, and the favorable rate far exceeds other similar companies. At the same time, Eslite has solved various technical problems for countless enterprises in the past eight years. The products have gone through eight years of verification and practice, and the experience is much richer than that of companies that have been in business for two or three years.
