SHANGHAI, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Telecoms Week (ITW) was held from 10 to 13 May in the Hyatt Regency and the Swissotel, Chicago, USA. GDS Services was the only carrier-neutral DC service provider from China attending ITW.
In addition to its existing range of products and services, GDS introduced a brand new concept - "CloudMix" - at the event. CloudMix is a hybrid infrastructure service concept combining legacy platform, cloud, and high-availability services. It optimizes the customer experience through a one-stop infrastructure service.
Traditional data centers and cloud services struggle to meet the challenges posed by growing IT complexity -- legacy platforms are still widespread. But CloudMix - integrating data centers, laaS, private cloud and other related services - maximizes the use of infrastructure, provides customized IT services, and allows customers to move data and applications conveniently between legacy platform, private, and public cloud. Providing security, availability, agility and automation, CloudMix represents the future in data center development.
GDS is already forging ahead in its existing core business. Its customized IT solutions include computing, storage, database and middleware, Internet, and other industrial networking connections. GDS can serve both Internet companies, and traditional businesses with higher security and availability requirements. In growing numbers, Chinese players on the international stage have made GDS their provider of choice. But the company is hungry for further expansion.
"One Belt and One Road" is a radical new strategy that has been devised and is being vigorously promoted by the Chinese government. Focused on the countries along the old Silk Road, all the way into Europe and around the globe, it seeks to encourage trade, commerce and a whole range of other forms of international exchange through both infrastructure and interconnectivity.
This will inevitably draw many more Chinese enterprises into the international market, and GDS aims to help such companies to "go global." But they will be targeting foreign businesses looking to enter the Chinese market just as hard.
New international partnerships will be key to this strategy, allowing GDS to exchange markets, resources and strengths. ITW 2015 represents an ideal platform to build contacts and begin negotiations. The results are professional service platforms providing high-availability IT support for the international expansion strategies of both Chinese and foreign customers, and an enhanced presence as a leader in the international field for GDS.
