Gathering the power of science and technology innovation

to co-build the integration of computing power and network

During the conference, the Summit Forum of Science and Technology Innovation was held, and Mai Yanzhou, Deputy General Manager of China Unicom, attended and delivered a speech. Ma Hongbing, General Manager of the Science and Technology Innovation Department of China Unicom, and other guests focused on the development and cooperation of science and technology innovation to introduce the new layout of science and technology innovation and cooperation, as well as the production-investment coordination support policy of China Unicom from different aspects. Dr. Ouyang Ye, Senior Vice President and CTO of AsiaInfo, was invited to attend the event, and talked with executives from Huawei, ZTE, CICT, CEC, Intel and other companies about cloud-network integration, computing power-network integration, and discussed how to cooperate in scientific and technological innovation in the future.

Cloud develops in parallel with network, and cloud-network integration is an inevitable choice for the development of new information infrastructure. The digital transformation of government and enterprise customers places new demands on the development of cloud-network integration, while computing power-network integration is an important means to achieve integrated computing-network services.

Dr. Ouyang Ye said that AsiaInfo and China Unicom have achieved tremendous results in the core R&D and commercial implementation of the 5th generation of mobile communications, and have also been exploring the development path and methodology from cloud-network integration to computing power-network integration. “With our leading products, services, operations, and integration capabilities, we will help China Unicom build comprehensive cloud and network facilities, a clear computing network brain architecture, unified cloud and network performance editing, and integrated computing power and network operation services to develop computing power-network integration in an all-around way.”
