ChinaNetCloud: Unprecedented Reliability and Performance

Steve Mushero, CEO & CTO

In recent years, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has emerged as a technology disruptor replacing traditional enterprise architecture with cloud computing services. As organizations explore the potentials of this technology, lack of performance visibility in implementing AWS and managing the systems with automated DevOps emerges as a major hurdle. Addressing these challenges, ChinaNetCloud offers cost effective AWS solutions, tools, configurations, and processes that help users build and manage their internet system securely in real-time. “As certified experts in building and managing AWS solutions, we design, build, and manage hundreds of systems across numerous cloud, leveraging the latest technologies,” states Steve Mushero, CEO and CTO, ChinaNetCloud.

Unique among AWS Managed Service Partners (MSPs), ChinaNetCloud manages the full application stack including the cloud, databases, and application servers, plus performance, security, logging, and backups. In addition, with AWS, ChinaNetCloud builds large cloud computing solutions for its clients in the E-commerce, mobile, media, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) space. “We can build solutions that serve 50 million users globally with a dozen technologies in a couple weeks,” says Mushero. The company’s cloud computing AWS solution encompasses Configuration Management Database (CMDB), audit systems, real-time trouble shooting, rule-based priority, and global security systems that manage the complete information stack in real-time.

ChinaNetCloud supports private clouds to increase their AWS market foothold and connects on-site systems through advanced Software Defined Networks (SDNs). In addition, to fulfill their customer needs—flexible, reliable, and cost-effective systems—ChinaNetCloud incorporates various tools and systems to support on Docker and DevOps with AWS. “We deploy Docker on AWS on-demand with full management and monitoring at the Virtual Machines (VM), Container, Service, and Application levels,” delineates Mushero.

Shedding more light on the capabilities of ChinaNetCloud, Mushero narrates an anecdote of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) customer facing problems in migrating their data from large systems onto one platform. ChinaNetCloud took over and optimized dozen of servers on a different cloud. Further, ChinaNetCloud managed these servers while tuning and optimizing every layer for their diverse customer base and thousands of B2B customers. Subsequently, ChinaNetCloud architected and built a whole new system on AWS and migrated everything without any downtime. “This system has expanded many times and we continue to manage it round the clock,” affirms Mushero. The new AWS system was engineered based on ChinaNetCloud’s standard templates, processes, and tools.

Along with AWS, ChinaNetCloud also delivers advanced AWS Security Audits, AWS Billing Tools, and an Advanced AWS Health Check tool for their customers. Further, focusing on innovation and R&D centers, ChinaNetCloud serves several projects for on-server troubleshooting, run book automation, auto documentation builders, and rule-based priority systems. “We also customer support with better request, alert, ticket, and communications handling,” states Mushero.

Moving ahead, ChinaNetCloud has plans to launch a new Cloud Operations Platform— OpsStack—that will build, integrate, and expand the firm’s current capabilities. ChinaNetCloud is on a mission to develop its internet and cloud operations to build and manage large systems across the world. “We can build and manage any system of any size, anywhere, in every common cloud and technology,” delineates Mushero. “By the end of 2016, we want to run our system for over a billion end users, with more to come in the future,” he adds.
