Radio and Television

China's media convergence has been upgraded from form and content integration to the 3.0 era of mechanism and system integration. According to the concept of "Media +", the converged media expands from simple news publicity to public services, from one-way communication to multi-interactive communication. It integrates media with Party building, government affairs, public, value-added and other services to provide diversified integrated services. The national policies require acceleration on the development of media convergence, enabling the mainstream media to have stronger communication power, guidance, influence and credibility. It also provides better guidance and service to the public.

Overview

For media centers such as radio, television and newspapers, H3C of Unigroup provides a complete digital media integration solutions for provincial platform + county media centers. The provincial-level technology platform supports county-level converged media centers to carry out media, Party building, government affairs, public, value-added services and other services, and supports in-depth convergence of county-level converged media centers in terms of tje content, channels, platforms, management and operations. The overall solution covers IT products, CT products, management platform, security classified protection and follow-up maintenance services. It follows the specifications and classified protection standard related to the county financing platform of the Publicity Department of CPC and the National Radio and Television Administration.

Since 2014, H3C has been cooperating with domestic mainstream PaaS and SaaS vendors in the field of media convergence to explore the needs of media industry customers and develop industry-leading overall solutions.

Digital convergence media platform system architecture

Cloud architecture and resource pool: H3C digital media solution is designed based on an open cloud architecture with features such as loose coupling, resource pooling and high scalability, and can meet the rapid iteration and upgrade needs of service development. The storage, computing and network capacity of the platform solution should be adapted to the access needs of county-level converged media centers in the province.

Multi-tenant for dynamic resource allocation: The solution is based on multi-tenant management mechanism and technical means to achieve isolation and security control of cloud hosts between different networks and services. According to the computing, storage and network load of different users and services, it realizes dynamic allocation and elastic scaling of resources.

Security classified protection: The solution has the system disaster recovery capability and data backup means, and guarantees security from physical, network, host, application, data, cloud and monitoring systems, which meets the requirements of classified protection.

Typical networking

With a complete IaaS infrastructure and a wide portfolio of cloud computing, networking, security, storage, IT and other products, H3C provides users with efficient and reliable means of production and intelligent management.

It is the leading SDN cloud network integration, software-defined media network, and crosses physical and logical boundaries. The network can adapt to the cloud to provide flexible scheduling of resources according to the needs of the digital media convergence cloud platform and connect to third-party PaaS platforms.

With U-Center, basic networks, servers and storage can be automatically deployed on network devices with one click, and the automation process is visualized to unify ICT operation and monitoring of physical and virtual networks.

Based on H3C active security concept, it provides state perception technology and all-around security classified protection capability.

DRX dynamic resource monitoring: Real-time monitoring of resource utilization, automatic expansion and recovery of virtual resources.

Cloud editing: Ecological cooperation verification, canonical matching scenarios to achieve a single cloud non-editing site up to 20 layers of high-definition video editing.

High-density solutions: The highest density in the industry, with 4.3U carrying 45 server cards and low energy consumption of 13W per unit.

GPU resource pool: Intelligent scheduling and allocation of GPU resources according to service priority policies, and deep cooperation with GPU vendor NVIDIA.

Unified incorporation: The cloud management platform supports the unified incorporation of bare metal and virtual resources.

Convergent content distribution

IP matrix: SDN open architecture and multicast NAT supports for mega-matrices.

Broadcast virtualization: One blade server conducts the broadcast core system solution for the whole station, which provides simple stable and reliable delivery. Reduce TCO to speed up for the services.

Typical cases

H3C has delivered IaaS platforms for Hubei TV Station Changjiang Cloud, Henan Daxiang Media Cloud, Zhejiang Radio and Television Group New Film and TV Center Cloud Platform, Yunnan TV Station Qicai Cloud, Gansu TV Station Feitian Cloud, Beijing Station Media Cloud, Anhui Dolphin Cloud, Guangxi TV Station Media Cloud, Shaanxi Network Radio and TV Station Media Cloud, Fujian TV Station Media Cloud, Qinghai TV Station Media Cloud, Shanxi TV Station Media Cloud, Jilin Daily Jiduo Cloud, and other provincial stations and provincial capital stations such as Hangzhou TV Station, Wuhan TV Station, Changsha TV Station, Nanchang TV Station and Hefei TV Station.

To accelerate the construction of converged media centers in Hubei province, Hubei Radio and Television Changjiang New Media Group has created a new media platform for mobile government affairs: Changjiang Cloud. Changjiang Cloud is one of the earliest convergence media platforms that integrates public opinion guidance and ideology management, government information disclosure and intelligent livelihood services into a "news + government affairs + services". Changjiang Overall Convergence Media Cloud System as a whole adopts H3C Digital Convergence Media Solution to realize the unified resource scheduling and cloud-based management of the IaaS layer security resource pool, network resource pool, computing resource pool and storage resource pool by the cloud management platform. Multiple channel tenants rent the exclusive cloud platform resources of Changjiang Cloud to achieve material resource sharing, platform resource reuse, and improve the resource utilization and effectiveness of the infrastructure layer. The Publicity Department of CPC and other departments have used Changjiang Cloud as a blueprint to established provincial platform construction standards for the construction of county-level converged media centers nationwide, and the Changjiang Cloud was awarded the "2018 IDC China Digital Transformation Award Operational Model Transformation Leader" in 2018.
