混合雲是目前企業 IT 服務的發展方向,然而建置雲端服務平台與維運雲服務是兩種截然不同的工作型態。建置雲端服務平台需要依用戶需求進行規劃,除了常見的 IaaS、PaaS、SaaS 各層級間的不同功能串接外,亦需要詳細盤點對企業應用有實質幫忙的服務內容,以利收得短期成效。維運雲服務則是需嚴守維運紀律,除了持續推動服務的 DevOps 流程外,亦需讓工程及開發團隊能依循現有建置服務基礎,不斷打造可滿足用戶需求的新功能、新服務。
在過去建置維運 TWCC(臺灣 AI 雲)的經驗中,從建置近 2000 顆的 V100 GPU 集群到服務上線,再到 GPU 服務(近)滿載(98%,即1960顆 V100),台灣智慧雲端服務(TWS)團隊持續將最好的 IT Service 提供給國人,讓世界前 20 名的超級電腦可以協助產官學研各界的需求。
