Solution Architecture

Since State Grid formally proposed “SG186,” it has successively completed numerous informatization projects such as ERP, intensive human/financial/material management, marketing, comprehensive management, and an integrated platform, basically completing the prototype of an intelligent grid.

To deepen State Grid informatization intelligence, according to the overall design requirements of State Grid’s integrated “State Grid Cloud” platform and all-business unified data center, fully inheriting existing big data platform and application construction results, comprehensively advance big data construction, realize unified data access, computing, and analysis, complete the capability shift from “moving data” to “moving compute,” and promote management improvement and business innovation.

Through construction of standardized analytics data interfaces and cross-database query services, realize multi-query and multi-table or view join/merge mechanisms based on cross-database query services, providing data-interface services with configurable data-model definition and rapid data publishing, thereby promoting standardized integration between business application systems and unified analytics services, supporting construction of unified analytics-service components of the all-business data center.

The big data platform has currently completed two-level deployment at headquarters and provincial/city units, providing a good storage and computing place for the company’s massive, diverse data resources. To promote deep fusion and full application of each business’s data, the practicality of big data access, computing, security, and O&M functions needs further improvement, realizing convenience, speed, and efficiency of the company’s large-scale data in circulation, thereby supporting all-business unified data-center construction and all-round utilization of enterprise data.
