With the development of the Internet and cloud computing technologies, the bloated and bulky traditional IT architecture has become unable to meet the immediate development needs of the financial industry. Cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence have gradually become the leading supporting technologies of financial technology. To cope with the industry competition, it needs to improve the technical and management, realize the transformation of IT infrastructure, improve the efficiency of technology services, and reduce technology construction, operation, maintenance, and management costs. Together with VMware and Huawei, Hunk Times jointly launched a complete solution of products + planning consulting + services for the financial industry cloud platform.
The cloud computing solution of the Hunk Times provided technical support for the entire process of consulting and planning, product selection, process orchestration, module docking, and final online implementation for the private cloud construction of a joint-stock bank.
The value of cloud computing services brought to customers in the Hunk Times:
According to the online process's shelf and installation and deployment processes, the project team designed a standardized computer room deployment unit to ensure that the automated installation tools can smoothly dock with the servers on the shelf and realize automated deployment. 2-3 weeks working days were shortened to 1-2 working days, which significantly improved the IT agility of the data center.
Regarding the daily change work most criticized by data center operation and maintenance personnel, a large amount of repetitive work, manual input errors, and non-working time change planning windows have always been headaches for operation and maintenance personnel. In this cloud planning and upgrade project, through research, we sorted out the most frequent tasks in daily changes, such as file system expansion, centralized monitoring configuration, backup configuration, network access control configuration, etc., which were targeted. The self-service transformation of the company uses an automation platform combined with the web portal of the enterprise cloud to submit changes in a self-service manner, and the changes will execute in the background after approval. After the function is launched, it improves the change efficiency, guarantees the success rate of the change, and saves human resources investment. The IT staff of the bank can devote more energy to more valuable planning, tuning, and other tasks.

CMDB is a storage and management platform for the various configuration information of equipment in the enterprise IT architecture. It is closely connected with all service support and delivery processes. In this cloud planning and upgrade project, we carry out all the modules in the current data center after sorting out the corresponding standardized configuration and forming several standardized packages. These standardized configuration parameters will be stored in the CMDB. For this reason, we have optimized the existing CMDB and added multiple pages for recording database configuration information, network, security configuration information, etc. It realized the interface of various platforms. Docking is used to supporting the follow-up of the automated process and the synchronization of the configuration of daily changes.

Project Earnings
After nearly a year of cloud planning and implementation, the cloud construction of a sizeable joint-stock bank data center has begun to take shape. Has been achieved:
Online resource application.
Standardization of configuration parameters.
Application delivery automation.
The standardized package configuration simplifies the self-service resource application method. Through the optimized cross-group approval process, the offline resource application plus approval and implementation process that initially took several weeks are shortened to only one change day cycle for delivery.

The standardized parameter configuration makes many daily change operations only need to apply through the graphical interface on the cloud platform, which fully releases human resources. Thanks to the standardized structure and the CMDB connection, the changes' execution efficiency and success rate have been improved. High security.
In 2019, Hunk Times will continue to work with customers to enrich cloud platform services and expand cloud platform functions. Push the current level of automation of the bank's data center to a new level, promote servicing to more levels, help customers stay ahead in the industry, and finally realize the ability to export industry cloud services to the outside world.
