Why Digital China network to start-up phase of the development came hard? In the new dawn of innovative technologies, the Chinese enterprises to seize opportunities to leapfrog development, and foreign giants on an equal footing? The road towards innovation, Digital is how to bear the pressure from inside and outside a firm grasp their own rhythm and pace of development?
Depends on how far companies can go to see how far.
Independent research and development, for most Chinese enterprises still in its infancy, and even still elusive, however, some pioneers have tasted the fruits of success. This independent research and development of road for every Chinese enterprises are not the broad road is flat, every enterprise has a small trail of their own, each firm also has a huge repertoire of R & D story.
In the golden age of OEM networking products, many companies have no technical ability to do OEM choose to sit in the cash register, and Digital Networks has chosen the hard road of independent research and development.
Maturity in the market for networking products, which has the technical capacity of the enterprises have withdrawn from the market, but it tasted Digital Network to bring the fruits of innovation: a one-time adoption of IPv6 is the first phase of testing, and become the first Gold Certified through the IPv6 The company, its 7600 series of Gigabit switches are still the core of the overseas market in 2004 to achieve a breakthrough. In October, should be invited to the NDRC, Digital China Digital China network will also represent the first group to participate in the eighth, held in Shenzhen Hi-Tech Fair, unveiled the next generation network (NGN) Pavilion.
Digital Network debut in the eighth before the fair, China Computer Daily News the Digital Networks CTO Dr. Xiang Yangchao, listen to him talk about the rough road of those who developed the story.
Independent research and development of the road: moving several times leap
Reporter: Digital Networks, said, we first concern is that a local Internet companies is how to take the road of independent research and development? Many people in the industry for the first time to understand the network of independent research and development of Digital China, in 2002, after the company parted ways with the D-Link, we surprised that you can in a very short period of time the network launched a series of self-developed products.
Xiang Yang North Korea: Digital self-developed road network is not smooth, and even passed several stages of R & D department from the relocation of several office addresses to analyze evolution.
Our independent research and development history dates back to 1997, when calculated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and co-founded Lenovo Lenovo Research Institute, of which 50% of the power network of R & D work is done, when including network security, network management, routers , switches, and network testing are five. Since 1999 involved in 863 projects - high-performance router, large-scale projects, R & D personnel has grown, office address transferred to the Institute of Physics. Lenovo split in 2000 after the company moved to the network where the building code Heeg.
Before moving to Sigal building code, as the nature of the R & D Institute, our participation in large-scale projects of national high-performance router, when the participants combine with the forces should be said that very strong research base. At the time, some of the network R & D results and not products and marketization, but a lot of talent cultivation. Since 2000, Digital Networks began thinking of R & D R & D department to adjust according to their own. From the prospective study, to close the market mature products, we have completed the research to the results from the accumulation of technology, complete R & D department from the Institute to change the pattern.
Reporter: Why Digital Network in the popular networking products OEM golden era, but chose to walk independently developed such a hard road? R & D and CTO from the perspective of how to look at the decision-making?
Xiang Yang North Korea: Internet companies established since that day, we have been discussing is the independent R & D or OEM, the end result is that we must unswervingly take the road of independent research and development. Although the initial phase of very hard, but after years of network technology and product development, we already have accumulated a great deal of basic technology, the importance of independent research and development continue to make R & D achievements in the former to be an epiphany. When we settled on with Digital China Group to the development of information industry base, to complete its third move, the researchers doubled the size of 5 fan than in the past, accounting for one third of the total number of companies, but also for investment in research and development have continued to increase in current annual sales of 10% to 12% are used for R & D.
Reporter: It can be said that many technology from scratch, you as the CTO of the biggest difficulties and pressures that? Is how to lead your team in high-end network equipment R & D R & D, passed the most difficult of the founding period?
Xiang Yang North Korea: When I first faced with the difficult task of how to strengthen the industry in depth, there is the size of the market accounted for half of the entire network of industry products to speed up the switch. However, we realize that switch products will be developed in the beginning we mainly the access and aggregation layers done in several years of accumulated technology, technology is mature, we began to plan to set foot in the core layer switches products. We all know that manufacturers should have its own core products, or face severe market competition. In 2003, we began to plan their core routing switches designed products. This product should be able to cope with multi-service load conditions, the core application.
Through the efforts, in 2004, we introduced 76 Series Gigabit core switch. Can be introduced in 2004 on the Gigabit core switch, based on technology from our many years of accumulation. One high-end switch is a large part of the technical threshold of routing functions, which had just used our high-performance routers in R & D projects in many countries, the accumulation of routing technology, it can quickly pass the threshold. In addition, new research has begun to switch on the system architecture level, taking into account the future impact of IPv6.
IPv6 road: no small heart with bottom pressure
Reporter: Tom 椹柉璐归噷鏇?in "The World is Flat" is mentioned: "As long as there is broadband, as long as you have ambition, no matter where you are, are not marginalized. Competition foothold become equal, and small shrimp and can equal the great whales. "We know that back in 2003, Digital China IPv6 network has been fully anticipate the future development prospects, in particular an accurate grasp of the" IPv6 technology can enable all countries on the same starting line, "This an opportunity. In 2005, your company become the first certified by the second phase of the enterprise IPv6. Before that, you feel the company's internal and external to the Digital China network migration to IPv6 what attitude?
Xiang Yang North Korea: In 2003, although we see IPv6 R & D direction, but then did not select large-scale commercial IPv6 research. In fact, this point, the company's attitude is consistent from top to bottom: prospective study and practical work to balance. When our energies are IPv4 products and research programs, research and development primarily to consider how to improve the integrity of network products from high to low line. Time to consider IPv6, mainly in infrastructure designed to consider the application and technology trends and future integration and compatibility, because the independent research and development of new products and programs must be able to meet future demand, but there was no large-scale R & D investment to do IPv6.
From the beginning of 2004, we started to consider IPv6 R & D and investment in research started six months after deployment. At that time, focused on a number of R & D focus on developing the backbone for closed, so do the other day to day development work was less affected. Focus on research into the structure of expert system of sorting out the results are satisfactory, it is mainly accumulated in previous years met the technical effectiveness of a down, the commercialization of IPv6 migration therefore relatively smooth and fast. We are confident this R & D department, after a closed development into a lot of manpower and energy research and development for nearly a year, in May 2005 through the first stage of IPv6 certification. Then we put a lot of strength to undertake solid, in September a one-time adoption of IPv6 is the second phase of testing.
Reporter: It is reported that Digital China as one passed the authentication, also third-party testing agency refunded 30% of the certification test cost?
Xiang Yang North Korea: When we send test before the third-party evaluation has been suggested that, after the company was once without a pass, so we were also ready to put a few people dedicated to follow the 3 months evaluation personnel stationed in the psychological well a prolonged war preparations. Third-party testing in the delivery, we are very cautious, in the company's test environment has already done a very thorough test. The results the first time we passed the test, how many or some unexpected.
It is worth mentioning that in the first phase of IPv6 test before sending, our products already have a lot of IPv6 can be the second phase of testing protocols and functions, because on the first phase of testing the sense of network products, the user end and can not really use them, from the application yet. So passed the first stage, we began to consider sending the second phase of testing, the only way to make products for user applications. Either from the market point of view, or from the user point of view, we need to do the user can use the IPv6 product, rather than certified, and this is then we will soon be the first to obtain IPv6 on the second phase of certification of domestic enterprises reasons.
Reporter: independent research and development from the beginning to the second stage through the IPv6 testing, I believe that within the company there are always different views. CTO is in the air waves, especially, in IPv4, when just started pioneering the development of IPv6, you will certainly hear the voices from different areas and pressure.
Xiang Yang North Korea: In early 2004, we have from the market and the national policy orientation, clearly felt a wave of IPv6, the market has a lot of users, such as the voice of college. We are constantly adding new features to improve the product while IPv4, IPv6 to do this new platform, at least to put 1 / 3 of the human and effort. The platform is made in the function is actually the same as IPv4, if the user does not endorse may suffer losses. Can not let the huge investment failed to be implemented.
From R & D point of view, I bear the greatest pressure is to first ensure that IPv4 meet market needs, as much as possible to ensure IPv6 innovation. Platform can be smoothly transformed from IPv4 to IPv6 platform, the biggest pressure and risk of R & D department in the party. If the transfer of instability after the IPv6 platform, they will cut off the lifeline of the entire company.
But from a technical point of view, I have no pressure, after all, the future of the technology for many years and our strength, I and the entire R & D departments are well-thought-of. However, from the corporate level to consider the burden of the body really very heavy, the main concern is to see the return on corporate investment. IPv6, IPv4 innovation will affect the user's customized needs and product innovation capabilities? These are the conflicts, how to balance pressure.
Reporter: Even though you are a second phase of testing through the IPv6 business, but not the first one through the first phase of testing. Then see the other enterprises have passed the test, you just start preparing, you feel the pressure from internal and external?
Xiang Yang North Korea: We do also feel some pressure. However, beginning in July 2004 when the research IPv6, IPv4 we have just completed a high-end product development, launched a high-end routing switch 7600 series, when the push to ensure full line of products IPv4 and product line integrity is top priority. Therefore, we will not worry so much about the practice of other companies, the most important thing is to ensure their own pace and rhythm. Facts later proved that we had the lead in the second stage.
Road to Innovation: allow fail to create value
Reporter: Speaking of innovation, you should be the most affection for. "Growth comes from innovation, and innovation leading IT services," the industry familiar with the phrase. Innovation, for products such as Digital China Networks-based companies is particularly important. It is said that your company, the importance of an innovation system is "allowed to fail." I ask, as head of R & D, you and your team how to understand the "Allow failure"? Specific examples and share with us?
Xiang Yang North Korea: I think the innovation to create value, no innovative ideas, there can be no 7600 series, not to have achieved a leading IPv6. But I think the goal of innovation is also a planned innovation, I will ask the developers have to go out and see the market look at user requirements, to the Forum to watch the trend, the direction can not be allowed to see a "preview" mechanism. This preview is in fact a small-scale investment, within a few months a small research projects and research. A lot of rehearsal for the project was unsuccessful, but if successful will be able to open up new market opportunities.
Reporter: innovative mechanisms highlighted by many companies. R & D department, how do you balance the interests of long-term investment and the recent conflicts? As a CTO to lead and motivate staff to carry forward the spirit of innovation, encourage them to continue to innovate?
Xiang Yang North Korea: We had set up R & D when compared to the scale of growth has improved significantly, even to the current R & D has accounted for one third of the total number of companies, but still in the research stage of development, I believe that some Chinese companies have also reached this scale. We currently can not support a lot of personal whim, or to give them time to working to achieve, try these ideas. Our current thinking is not encourage large-scale innovation, but innovation is not possible, we are still based on user and market needs, targeted to innovation, to make technical staff clear "technology to create value" of this idea .
Of course, incentives are also very important. The second phase of testing such as IPv6, we have no set time points, did not form a project plan, if not reached and will not punish, but to motivate them extra incentive. May 2005 through the first phase of testing time, the second phase of our products through most of the work has been completed and therefore not as a project Ji Hua Ji Zhexieyanfa Renyuantaiduo of Yali, the staff of the Chuangxin policy of the spirit and motivate them continue its efforts, a few months after the first in the country through the second phase of testing. Each company is different, Digital technical staff share a common vision - technology to create value, they developed the product to be recognized, is the highest honor.
Reporter: Speaking of honor, the ordinary man, president of Digital China Group Award should be awarded to the management team, and you have got the fiscal 2005 president of Digital Award. Do you think you can get the highest honor within the company's reason? Received this award, the heart is pressure?
Xiang Yang North Korea: President's Award in the past, given the sales and management personnel, is the first time last year awarded to technical staff. Guo Wei, president of Digital China Group in the transformation and innovation, and more recognition of technological innovation to create value. I got the President Award, is believed to be the encouragement of all technical staff. In the near future, we will continue to develop forward-looking orientation of value networks. Such as research and development have been identified to continue the high-end products in the market to move into the field operators, the development of carrier-grade Ethernet. And from a technical level, Ethernet is the future development of operational reliability in high availability level of development, which is the development trend. In addition, wireless broadband and security will also be studied.
