Huawei Launches Unified O&M Platform I‧MOC

[Shanghai, China, October 10, 2018] At HUAWEI CONNECT 2018, Huawei released a unified Operations & Management (O&M) platform called the Intelligent Management and Operation Center (I‧MOC) for large-scale cloud data centers.

Automating O&M Tasks

The I‧MOC incorporates Huawei’s 30 years of O&M experience, providing customers with a GUI-based, intelligent, easy-to-use, and open digital operation experience. It helps customers address O&M challenges during IT cloud operation and digital transformation.

During the event, Sun Maolu, President of Huawei Enterprise Technical Service Dept., stated: “O&M innovation is an inevitable choice for the future. The I‧MOC platform is a GUI-based and intelligent O&M management system providing comprehensive functions including supervision, management, control, operation, and services.”

Currently, digital transformation is in the early stages. The cloud and big-data technologies lead to a consolidation of data centers, and the digital transformation of IT systems poses significant challenges to traditional O&M practices. Traditional O&M is distributed and relies heavily on manual labor, and customers have difficulty to obtain an accurate inventory of the vast amount of resources.

Leveraging 30 Years of O&M Experience

Zhang Peng, Director of Huawei Cloud Data Center Mgmt. Dept., said: “Huawei has accumulated significant experience in transforming the O&M from a passive, labor-intensive, escalation driven, and distributed O&M, to an automated, platform-based, service-oriented, and digitalized O&M. Currently, Huawei O&M supports the uninterrupted operation of 200+ data centers, 300,000+ servers, 1,000+ PB of data, and 800+ services around the globe. The human and equipment maintenance ratio has reached 1:8,000, achieving effortless O&M.”

Today, Huawei offers its 30 year O&M experience to the government and enterprise market.

Industry Digital O&M Solution

“We have set up a four-level IT architecture, from province to municipality to county to township. During digital transformation, we are expecting a solution that can help us streamline the entire O&M system,” a customer at a provincial bureau of China said. Centralized IT architecture makes digital O&M a critical and urgent need.

Huawei I‧MOC consists of five systems: monitoring, management, control, operation, and service. It cooperates with Huawei’s industry O&M services, RMS services, and cloud DC O&M services to provide integrated and comprehensive O&M solutions for customers in Smart City, Smart Campus, and Safe City scenarios, delivering a GUI-based, intelligent, easy-to-use, and open digital O&M experience.

I‧MOC Cooperates With Partners to Build an O&M Ecosystem

Ye Zhonghua, Director of Huawei Enterprise Business Professional Service Dept., said: “The business strategy of I‧MOC is innovation, sharing, and win-win cooperation. The I‧MOC boasts an open architecture. Partners can quickly construct O&M scenarios and applications to share Huawei O&M practices and rules on the I‧MOC platform. I‧MOC adopts flexible and innovative business models for the public cloud SaaS service and private cloud dedicated services, working with partners to achieve win-win results.”
