IT market is entering a new era, software-defined future - global vice president Interview VMware, Greater China president Steve Mills[IT era network, IT Times Exclusive Interview] next five to ten years will be the age of the Internet industry, traditional industries and the Internet technology is entering a stage of rapid development. Compared to the previous business information age, Internet-based business model to solve the problem of change and innovation. In response to this big trend, internationally renowned leader VMware virtualization solutions first proposed the concept of 'software-defined future'. In the recently by the China Software Association's '2015 Beijing Software Celebrity Forum', global vice president of VMware, Steve Mills, president of Greater China, delivered a Air Jordan Others speech entitled 'Software-defined future' speech detailing his views on this issue and the Chinese market ʱ?? During the Nike Heels Boots meeting held, Mr. Song Jiayu accepted the IT era of network, Air Jordan Others IT Times reporter's interview. Global vice president of VMware, president of Greater China, reporters Steve Mills: We know that today's Chinese government began to restrict foreign investment in the high-tech industry products, focusing on domestic. Vmware how it will continue to conduct business in China's Steve Mills:? In fact, this is not a period, already occurred in other industries. I was one example cited is the automobile industry, when China started early public can see, they are into Chinese joint venture with the Chinese company which produces and then, beginning imported cars is very high tariffs, tariff and local production immediately down a large part of the second over after the production of cooperation with local companies to enter the Chinese market, when many companies have a lot of doubts, these things would not have time to do some of the patents stolen, for a while and made some domestic companies pass out models with foreign models almost exactly the same thing in fact, these are likely to occur. But I later heard to the world's heritage bankrupt when Shanghai Foundation is the world's inheritance of his most profitable place, China represents a market access, which is two years out of the Chinese market, the world is not the models. For example, a soldier from the beginning of the cable A BMW came out with later, the back seat is elongated in the world do not have this model, and why? I would like to give this example because I say you buy soldiers, such as in the United States or abroad Kids Shoes BMW claims A lot of his own car, so driving to his attention is the most comfortable, so I feel it best meets my needs, because I drove, China started to buy a lot of time this car will have a master, so really buy The man is sitting behind the car, we need to meet the needs of long, wide back seat. I do not think this thing in the United States, because the United States few people, most people rarely use, mostly driving the car, especially in his own car is bought, bought cars in the United States to start his own, is not looking for the master to open. So as you say this thing is a Chinese characteristics, so I use this as an example. I gave the example Air Jordan 3 Retro of high-speed rail, because CSR CNR are our customers. This already is the pride of Air Jordan 8 Retro China, and you make the world's high-speed rail and even exported to foreign countries go, you know there are still a lot of components from Japan, Germany, Siemens Pocket with some key things inside, it is very normal. Therefore, China's model is so cooperative, so it went back to the answer you just question, I think there are a lot of recent talk about the government should emphasize the domestic market, he said the foreign companies coming winter, the government requires you to begin to learn from other industries, You keep people cross-border cooperation, you have to build in line with market demand in China, especially in the real solution provided the above requirements Air Jordan 5 Retro can be safe and controllable, but I think that does not mean one hundred percent safe and controlled domestic, this is what we want to learn as well as with local foreign how cooperation between local companies. In fact, the building of a local big technology companies long ago, he would say, and that is all I have to do self-controlled, but not far away, you also need a high-speed rail, you will need to work with others, but my which should self-control, I want to somehow grasp some aspects. So I think a lot of overseas companies in the exploration of this road. So we can see that speaking environment, before this year began to do deep cooperation with Fujian thin terminals, cooperation with the wave of his clouds, cooperation with the association with China in line with China Telecom to build a cloud service, which is ours to do some of the things. Reporter: You said in the speech which said, do some of the policies is to strengthen communication with the government, but also with financial firms better cooperation understand some advice in this area say something. Steve Mills: The first point we participate in such activities, which communicate with the government association, we understand what VMware is a company that we are not a mere Nike Free foreign company, we are very committed to a multinational Chinese market localization, this is the first? thing. The second thing to be inside our association with some more locally very powerful but also very long-term commitment of some companies, we can create a new generation in line with the ecological environment. I just use the camera as an example, China is now the government and enterprises to use IT in a turning point of change, in the past they have done a lot of investment, buy a lot of hardware, Chinese customers to buy the hardware is a never hesitate to buy a a bunch of hardware, but in fact see a lot of usage environment inside is not very high, is the software service is not in place. Now, with these changes in the government's situation is no longer as before, government and enterprise customers say that the budget is not a problem, in fact, I feel that they can put a lot of things change in new infrastructure. Inside the new architecture a big challenge that he had known these IT companies, such as large IBM, Oracle these companies is not to say they do not understand this trend but their past business model in the Chinese market by a large number of buy these equipment support their operations. So what I mean is that we have become accustomed to, this looks good, but I do not believe there Nike Hyperdunk is something new to replace the camera. People do not understand is the new model has been completely liberated your original lot of things, not just that better and cheaper with more features to solve a lot of problems, there is nothing to doubt things will be a lot of new technology replace the original use, I do not think is completely replaced, because some scenes still be used, it will not be mainstream. Therefore, the change in the inside for a software company to understand trends, you have to choose the right steps you, Air Jordan 18 you are not about to put your original waiver. Because today still produces some of your income on business, you do not need to give up, but ready for the next one environment, you most afraid of is the original ecological environment around the active camera there are many, such as the production of the film makers or I photographic print shop to do this, I have been around this, I continue to make money. But you do not Nike Shoes know the world has changed, and you just think 10 percent less money than last month, and after two months, 10% and less, until you find that you've started to lose money when it was too late, and this is a turning point, So I remember very clearly the photographic prints, original matter in which there are a lot of cities, now looking for a shop is not easy. Because according to a specific passport photos to go have to go, or else I do not usually enter the studio, or I went to a very professional studio, according to a photo, family photos inside, Air Jordan 12 so the studio is not generally survive ʱ?? I describe what you think around this environment also sell a lot of cameras, in fact, already do not buy, because we are moved to a cell phone camera. This time we did not play with the camera, the scene is true, to see thousands of people watched for a long time to see a camera, everyone is a cell phone or the self-timer artifact, before help camera manufacturers stand to make money and this is a business, no one will buy a tripod, the self-timer artifact now sold, this stuff is very cheap, but it achieves the effect that a person can two people can self-timer photo, just the same as those of the tripod. Reporter: In the past heavy tripod. Steve Mills: heavy tripod before expensive, self-timer artifact now very cheap. So I mean is that the new technology changes, you can not go to despise it, I believe that camera manufacturers on the phone is the nose, how could replace the camera, a variety of new camera out, and also to maintain the business for a while, suddenly two Completely collapsed. Reporter: high-end industries. Steve Mills: very high-end. Now fool the camera, almost no one to buy, because the phone is completely help you replace lost, and this time they did not expect this thing. At that time they stop producing this machine, he felt that in addition to these are the high mass consumption, but that is two years before the project, more professional camera still people buy, they are like the high-end. Like our very experienced architect he would bring such a heavy day, there is also a wide variety of shots, he felt this is my profession, most people will not use, because the first one I did not so professional, I So you know stuff like this, I think I came to photography, now took photographs according badly I can also use the back of the software to repair this photograph, after completing the same with professional photographs, so you really completely killed. Reporter: driven by users, including enterprise software vendors. Steve Mills: For enterprise CIO is the biggest challenge in terms of, as I just said examples of movement. You have to support the move, you have no choice, you can also control before, because employees in these so-called desktop, the desktop is, you must use, because moving is my boss, my Nikon governor in use, Which one governor to use, you can establish which one I use, governor or a month ago with Apple, he now for the Samsung, change to change, you have no right to require employees to say I'm sorry I do not support Samsung, you and your Samsung can not support the boss speaks. So the first move has not previously control your desktop, requiring all my desktop are all Lenovo are all Windows, how you provision? But you still have to support enterprise-level applications. The second general staff now self-awareness is high, you want me to use this, but there are companies on mobile devices and personal me now, I do not want you tube. But if you cut a point of view I do not want to control you, I give you a safe, whether you use a personal phone is very safe, and this time you will be very pleased to go, you are a different angle to convince me how to use mobile security management. Most people do not like to be managed, but if you will care about the things I talked about, then I will use all the techniques which in addition to technological breakthroughs, even you how to design how to promote? What is it to do a lot, so I think this is the wave of the clouds, usage patterns are also very much like to run up today, no matter went to the Amazon, went to China Telecom cloud cloud or go to Ali, the time for a customer to use the I will not like the traditional buy hardware, software, help me to do to find an SI, now may be the service provider provides a platform for him to follow me to use to pay for it. For example, disaster recovery, business disaster recovery is very important, in the past I bought a disaster must spend a lot of money to spend tens of millions to buy a completely identical devices placed in different places, it is determined that disaster recovery is no problem, but also from time to time To exercise it, because they do not exercise, when to get up to the time of disaster recovery. Now in terms of a few hand not all, I have a part of this that I can just start again, I think it is not the most critical disaster recovery, assuming I do not worry, I'll choose a 10% is not the most critical disaster recovery in the cloud inside go, cloud disaster recovery, such as China Telecom for the provision of cloud cloud, I told him a good discussion, I'll give you pay basic expenses, because you will not cloud it is so expensive. The second time I use if disaster does happen, I'm back and forth, until I returned to the production environment, I used a total of 12 hours you, I'll pay you 12 hours of usage charges, the basic fee above You pay the fee for use 12 hours on end, run out after 12 hours, I do not pay up, pay the basic fee. Than if you had to engage in a disaster recovery center you have to pay one hundred percent. Second, even if disaster does not occur very sorry that today you buy hardware, hardware manufacturers or keep you collect maintenance fees. Oracle database software you buy or to pay software costs sorry, no dime, no less. This is the day you have a model, the model is a good model. I am not speaking to a few percent, but you really have some disaster, some things not so critical is the cloud disaster recovery, there is the problem? So the new technology to break you a lot of IT use for some deep-rooted ideas which is your only choice there is no such business model of these technological breakthroughs time in the past. For customers now benefit I now have more choices, does not mean you have Air Jordan 12 to choose. So I often speak with the customer to say you do not to Cloud Computing, you are really something to use this cloud computing, and now the pursuit of fashion. I say that today I do not have my business cloud behind the times. Reporter: Many people put data into the cloud security skeptical, you talk about this issue. Steve Mills: The problem is that the security problem is the attitude with the management with costs. Attitude is the most important, your safety that important, and now a lot of people think I'm in individual consumers when security is not the most important, especially when the money is not being represented, I do not mind. May be your only care about playing online games is that you build up to the gold will not be taken away people? So his security is not particularly safe. Today you go to the bank fixed inside the safety requirements completely different, so the first one is the attitude, the second is your management system and you have to pay the costs. So I feel there is no cloud computing unsafe, or return to this thing when you use the application you are using as well as the data attribute you want to own what level of security, if you are a business level, I officially tell a, Ali cloud often speak I can handle a lot of double eleven million traffic, compared to the peak together four lines are great. Chinese people proud. But the number of transactions that occurred the day is not completed, how many people really go shopping when suddenly at the entrance suddenly look on the page can not be refreshed, or that I previously gracefully cart thing entirely disappeared, why no one complained? Because I know it's not so high expectations. But today you are online banking customers, you go ICBC network today, you've just finished a half up suddenly cut off, you do all the things were gone that you can not accept? The second you've finished second a look at the amount of advance you can not accept this thing? It's not that ICBC come to tell you a small gift to apologize to you you're accepted, Ali today to apologize to you on top of a small gift feel very happy, right? So I mean, really important for different scenes inside the safe, but in the attitude then said first and second management costs, you want something? enterprise in terms of great concern, which are now all cloud enterprise level have been relatively supporting security management mechanism, so this thing is not a problem, you can not go to the reason you do not understand this or that thing, or you are the original manufacturers to convince, because the original manufacturers do not want you to change, because you have to change His business interests fall, so I hope you maintain the original things, you continue to be responsible for the high maintenance costs Nike Shox of the old stuff, if I were the manufacturer this is my biggest interest, then I will not let you go, unless you have to going to tell you when I can actually do this, businessmen and sometimes you can not blame him. For customers it is important that you understand what you own? What do you know about the second demand on the market? You're not a choice you have several options, but I often feel that some things are the same, the entire management and so-called compliance platform, the system is only one, there can thirty-four kinds of management, because this thing is most likely to cause problems on top of your business last administration, there can be two management system, so the IT system must be a complete system, The second try to put it into automation, to minimize the use of artificial intervention, error-prone manual intervention, automation is less error-prone, so this is I often recommend clients, even if you select the following different prices, you can choose VMware can choose OpenStack can choose Microsoft does not matter, but you manage a management system the best platform for the best one, so if you even a private cloud, a public cloud is managed. So often customers ask me, does anyone believe that Ali's something more mature than what Amazon? Amazon Bi Ali but despite several years earlier. But Amazon's cloud own admission, the hybrid cloud may be the future trend, they have not yet resolved the hybrid cloud, hybrid cloud mean I Ali Amazon itself or have a very good thing in itself, but you must complete to as I systems management, today I was a government and enterprise customers I have my management system, I was not able to give up my management system fully accept your management system, I may some some very critical applications or temporary development test , you take the less I care. Once I production environment you must follow my system, I put my inner pipe or regardless of your internal tube. You have to use my system to manage. For example, I talk about a simple technical problems. Application of the above today I'm going to now begin a new arrangement applied to different VMWare inside, I already have a process, which should my business processes, to get permission. If today you put inside Ali audit is you do or I do? I can not let you help me review it not my internal regulations, it must be for me to review. Ali now let me open an interface in my business I see this thing which audits story, if you can not do your public cloud is a problem for me production processes. I mean is that many people in the technical management of the above require a serious effort to assess the benefits are many choices, you can go at different times. Like today's vehicles can choose their ride a bike or play a taxi or public transportation and easy road vehicles to a very high-end cars, is to see the different needs of different scenarios you the best, I have a different choice. But you have to be confined to only one choice that I was wrong. Reporter: We are software-defined data center into the mainstream, for us in terms of what changes VMware Steve Mills:? VMware for us, it is at least good to play the role of a leader in industry trends inside, I'm not unique, this is the entire industry trends do, indeed, in the field of virtualization in the past I really recognized by the leader in software defined inside me now is our first proposed the idea about four years ago, and now everyone says that software-defined, how we can continue to walk in front, so there is all the physical resources regardless of the virtualization done after I was able to have a good management platform security, I can support mobile applications or to support the open source environment or other non-VMware environments this is done thing. So every day there are new things coming, so software-defined one of the biggest thing is that you give the customer the greatest freedom of a choice, you are not in the past, when the physical environment is very easy to restrict your dead, network architecture I In this way, I'm sorry, you can not use anything else, the system architecture is the case, I'm sorry, you can not use anything else. After the software is now defined to put a lot of physical reality liberated. Reporter: How do you see China's current development direction Steve Mills:? China is now doing the whole government is to make China truly become a world power, became a world power. This time to how to further develop, whether in diplomacy or in the domestic economy, should be out in new directions. China's economy does have its challenges, he now how to use regardless of domestic demand to stimulate exports or export-led domestic demand, which is a tool in his hand. I think the Chinese government is very clever, made a lot of good policy, for example, along the way, as well as Asian investment bank, it is clear that the United States would like to repeat in the time of World War II with the World Bank to do this thing. I think the Chinese government is taking this road is right, will be getting better and better.
