Expressway Group: Integrated Operations Management for a Beidou Big Data Center
For an expressway group's digital transformation and big data center construction, Sensaka helped build an integrated operations platform. The platform unified multi-cloud, heterogeneous physical resources, power and environment systems, CMDB, ITSM, intelligent monitoring, cost accounting, and visual dashboards, improving cross-platform resource management and operations collaboration.
Customer Background
The customer is a large expressway group and a key infrastructure enterprise. Its business covers expressway investment and construction, operations management, transportation services, new energy, finance, and related industries.
The customer planned to build a big data center to support transportation infrastructure safety monitoring, operations management, resource collaboration, and intelligent decision-making. This center integrates AI and big data capabilities to build intelligent safety monitoring and early warning capabilities.
- Large expressway group operating key infrastructure
- Business includes expressway investment, construction, operations, and finance
- Multiple data centers and platforms operated independently
- Zoned coverage: core switching, internet access, cloud resources, and operations management
- Planned big data center for intelligent transportation safety and operations
- Multiple data centers and platforms operated independently, with no unified global view
- Resource requests and changes depended on manual work, causing inefficient processes and high coordination costs
- Cost accounting lacked transparency, making billing, resource usage, and permission audits hard to unify
- Alarms were scattered, risks surfaced slowly, and incident handling paths were unclear
- All zoned data centers required unified management
- Build an integrated operations management platform for unified management and governance of all IT resources
- Implement unified asset CMDB, automated service workflows, and intelligent monitoring alerts
- Connect multi-cloud, heterogeneous physical resources, power and environment systems, and operations workflows
- Establish cost accounting to improve resource usage transparency
- Support management decisions through visual dashboards
Sensaka Solution
Sensaka built an integrated operations platform based on DCOS, integrating multi-cloud resources and heterogeneous physical resources while providing a unified portal and unified API — giving the customer a single management entry point.
The platform covers unified control, cloud platform management, power and environment management, CMDB, ITSM, intelligent monitoring, cost accounting, and visual dashboards. By integrating resources, processes, alerts, and permissions, the customer shifted from fragmented systems to centralized operations.
- Multi-cloud and physical resource management
- Unified portal and unified API
- Permission authentication
- Unified asset CMDB
- Automated service workflows
- Process standardization
- Unified alert management
- Incident handling workflows
- Risk surface reduction
- Cost accounting and billing
- Resource usage transparency
- Visual dashboards for decisions
Results
- Met multi-cloud governance needs and unified management across heterogeneous cloud platforms
- Automated workflows shortened resource provisioning and fault handling time
- Fine-grained cost accounting identified resource waste and optimization opportunities
- Unified permission audit system reduced compliance risk
- Visualized data supported scientific decision-making and faster response
- Open architecture supported continuous business innovation
