Ping An Technology and Huawei signed a cooperation agreement on joint innovation of Zhijian Network.
Let the network create imaginative commercial value for enterprises. This vision is also in line with Ping An Technology's positioning and demand for the network. Based on the same concept and goal, Ping An Technology and Huawei formally signed a joint innovation cooperation agreement at the last 20 18 Huawei Global Analyst Conference, dedicated to the joint innovation of intention-driven smart networks and promoted the digital transformation of the financial industry.
Fang Guowei, chief technology officer and chief architect of Ping An Technology, is full of expectations for further cooperation between the two parties in the future. He said: "Joint innovation is the key to meet future challenges. We hope to seize the opportunity of internet plus, enhance the safe user experience, and promote "technology leads finance and finance serves life". With the signing of the agreement, we have deepened our cooperation with Huawei, and will accelerate the digital transformation of the financial industry through the joint innovation practice of richer smart networks, laying a good foundation for realizing the business strategy of Ping An Cloud and Smart City. "
Constructing enterprise digital network centered on user experience
By introducing artificial intelligence (AI), big data and cloud computing (ABC) technologies, IDN can realize the transformation from network-centric to user-centric, and then build a bridge between business and network, and build a digital dual-network platform with basic network facilities. It receives business intentions from the top, and acts on the network infrastructure from the bottom through intention-driven automation, which breaks away from the traditional network centered on devices. IDN can truly be people-centered and business-driven.
At the signing ceremony of Zhijian Network Joint Innovation Cooperation Agreement, Fang Guowei, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Architect of Ping An Technology, took Huawei's SD-WAN Zhijian interconnection scheme as an example to help Ping An quickly launch life insurance AI business, and expounded the commercial value released by IDN for business innovation. Ping An launched AI customer service for the first time in the industry, using biometric authentication technologies such as face, voiceprint and big data matching to remotely verify customer identity information and realize "online one-time business processing". Fang Guowei said that at present, Huawei SD-WAN has successfully delivered the first batch of 200 sites for Ping An Technology, providing the best link guarantee and the best seat experience for AI customer service business, and the efficiency of insurance billing has increased from the previous 2 hours per order to 1 minute.
In addition to the interconnection scene around SD-WAN, the joint innovation of smart simple network between the two sides also covers the basic network construction scenes such as enterprise park, data center and network security. It is reported that joint innovation projects have been launched in the fields of data centers and enterprise parks.
Go deep into industry application scenarios to maximize the value of intelligent networking.
Of course, from Huawei's point of view, joint innovation with Ping An Technology's intelligent network will help IDN go deep into industry application scenarios and maximize network value. After all, its purpose is to support business intentions by combining business. As Zhong Kaisheng said, "Joint innovation can help Huawei better understand the industry scenarios of financial customers, be close to customer business, and make intelligent network solutions iteratively enhanced in commercial deployment. It can be said that we have achieved customers and customers have achieved us. "
Zhong Kaisheng introduced that Huawei is putting IDN architecture into these scenarios, such as parks, data centers, wide area networks, security and so on.
In the field of parks, Huawei officially released the intention-driven enterprise park network CloudCampus solution at the 20 18 Huawei Western Europe Channel Conference held last month, which is user-centered, realizes the visual, predictable and manageable experience of each application and each user at every moment through intelligent networks, and simplifies operation and maintenance through cloud management.
In the field of data center, Huawei CloudFabric smart cloud data center network is application-centric, adopts a cloudy unified architecture, is visible throughout the network, proactively predicts risks, and intelligently guarantees the achievement of business intentions.
In the enterprise interconnection scenario, Huawei provides SD-WAN solutions for enterprises and service providers based on "application intention and service quality" to ensure the application connection experience and maximize link efficiency.
In the security field, Huawei released SDSec solution to realize the whole network active defense system based on "business and threat intention". In addition, Huawei introduces AI and security controller SecoManager into the scheme to unify the arrangement and management of security services, so that the network and security can cooperate deeply, realize the automatic closed loop of threat detection and disposal, and resist unknown threats.
Rejuvenate the vitality of the network and establish an open ecology
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February this year, Huawei officially released the intention-driven intelligent simple network solution. Indeed, the intention-driven network is not a new bottle of old wine, it adds new business logic and technical modules to SDN network and cloud network. For example, Zhong Kaisheng talked many times about the core brain of IDN: intention engine, automation engine, analysis engine, intelligent engine and so on.
From device-centric to user-centric, from passive response to active prediction, from technical dependence to artificial intelligence and intelligence, from closed architecture to open platform, IDN has made many key changes compared with traditional networks.
Intelligent simple network has five key characteristics: wisdom, minimalism, ultra-width, openness and security. Through these five key features, Smart Simple Network can bring to enterprise customers: shortening the online time of new services, reducing the network operation and maintenance OPEX, improving the efficiency of network fault resolution, comprehensively improving the access capacity and increasing the most important business benefits. Kai Zhong took "wisdom" as an example. FabricInsight, an intelligent data center operation and maintenance scheme released by Huawei, is based on chip-level telemetry and embedded intelligent technology of switches, and applies associated network intelligence to realize second-level fault detection, minute-level fault location and recovery. In a failure drill of a bank, the failure recovery time was reduced from 76 minutes to 29 minutes, and the business loss was reduced by 68%.
In IDN architecture, Huawei once again emphasized the value of openness. IDN provides rich interfaces, including big data platform interface (such as Kafka), northbound interface with traditional OSS (such as traditional CORBA), partial interface with cloud platform (such as Restful), southbound interface (such as traditional SNMP, new Netconf/Yang, telemetry) and so on.
Moreover, Zhijian Network is an industry-oriented open ecological platform, providing rich API interfaces, development programming tools and verified industry applications. "IDN is committed to creating a rich application ecosystem for users, and an open architecture will make the network smarter." Zhong Kaisheng said that only by opening up the value of data can the network be truly driven by business.
