(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud solutions provider CDC Global Services announced on Monday it will design, implement and provide operations services for the Foshan Municipal Cloud Computing Center.
The move comes just a month after Microsoft announced it would open the Microsoft Software and Services Excellence Center in Taiwan in collaboration with the country’s economic minister.
This center provides cloud-based computing resources to the public sector users and businesses in Foshan and its neighboring regions.
Less than 31 miles from Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong is one of the top-10 cities in China, with the highest GDP per capita.
Foshan has hired CDC Global Services to design, implement and operate the government-funded Cloud Computing Center to accelerate the adoption of cloud-based services.
CDC Global Services provides cloud-based technologies and services to governments and enterprises in the design, setup and operations of both private and public clouds.
Based on the infrastructure as a service layer that the government has invested to build, CDC Global Services will design and implement the platform as a service layer.
This will, in turn, support a set of open standards upon which SaaS-ready products from different suppliers will be selected and implemented to meet the needs of the user community that the center is designed to serve.
CDC Global Services will also provide on-going management and operations services in the center and advise the government in the adoption of different SaaS solutions to meet the needs of the public sectors users and its business community.
Upon completing the PaaS layer implementation and the first phase rollout of the SaaS services, CDC Global Services has the option to form a joint venture with the government-funded Cloud Computing Center to operate the center and to provide cloud-based services to government agencies and the business communities in the region.
“We welcome CDC Global Services bringing world-class technologies and services to Foshan,” says Wan Zhikang, deputy of Nanhai at Foshan. “CDC is a leader who has pioneered the hybrid computing practices. We are delighted to have them as our partner in designing, implementing and operating our Municipal Cloud Computing Center. The City of Foshan has many highly successful businesses in the traditional manufacturing industries. Through the setup of the Cloud Computing Center, the Municipal government is helping these industries to further elevate their standards and qualities of their products; and to improve production methods and efficiencies that are more environmental friendly. We look forward to a successful partnership with CDC Global Services in operating this Cloud Computing Center and to provide services to our industries in meeting this set of objectives.”
