Where Will Cloud computing summon traditional servers to go?

What is ECS?

Cloud computing uses ECs to complete the business data that enterprises need to process, rather than the physical server. ECS can be used for intensive virtualization and Scalable Application database applications. So what are the features of ECS?

1. powerful computing performance multi-core processor

In our impression, the performance of the server is very powerful. Of course, one of its powerful roots lies in its powerful computing performance processor. It not only runs frequently, but also has a large number of kernels, such as Dell's PowerEdge R820 server, using four 6-core Xeon E5-2600 processors at frequencies up to GHz, the total number of CPU cores reaches 24! This provides powerful computing support for virtualization, allowing you to easily cope with cloud computing.

2. High memory capacity

For ECs, the more cores the processor has, the more servers the virtual machine can Virtualize with higher performance. Therefore, a large amount of memory is required to ensure that all virtual servers can run quickly. On ECs instances, you can often install up to several hundred GB or even terabytes of memory, which provides powerful memory support for cloud computing. You can imagine that only cloud servers are virtual, but the performance is still better than some low-end physical servers. The cost of cloud computing is absolutely advantageous to physical servers.

3. Ultra-High Storage Capacity

We can use a classic saying to describe ECs: You are not fighting alone! It is true that a server can run several virtual applications with a powerful processor and ultra-high memory capacity, while a hard disk is still the most important storage device for the server. In order to ensure that each virtual server in the cloud computer has enough storage space, the ECS has another feature, that is, a large number of Hard Disk locations, and to increase the number of hard disks, it also uses a 2.5-inch hard drive with a relatively small size, so that the entire ECs instance has a high-capacity storage capacity of several terabytes, which also guarantees the storage capacity for virtual server applications.

Relatively low-price tower servers will become a new choice for internal enterprise applications

Where should I go for cloud computing servers?

As the business volume continues to grow, the traditional server performance is too slow. In addition to the long-term uninterrupted operation of the server, the aging of the device is also prominent. So how should we develop our business? The traditional approach is to purchase or add new servers to cope with the increasing business volume, while the purchase of new servers, the increase in the number of hosts in the hosting room, and the cost of multi-channel Internet access are also rising. Cloud computing can eliminate users' worries. Thanks to the development of ECs, enterprises no longer need to spend a huge amount of money to purchase new servers and host machine rooms, and the annual rent of cloud computers is also very cheap, therefore, enterprises will directly benefit from this. Of course, enterprises can also purchase high-performance ECs instances to upgrade and expand physical servers, so as to achieve small investment and high profits.

With the help of networks and powerful ECs, the number of physical servers is not greatly reduced, which not only saves enterprises the cost of purchasing new servers, hosting servers, and multi-line Internet access. It also reduces the cost of data center cooling measures and the electricity cost, thus achieving energy saving and emission reduction. However, cloud computing does not seem perfect. Because of the existence of a large number of virtual servers, the Disaster Recovery and backup of cloud servers are extremely important, in addition, they have put forward higher technical requirements for operation and maintenance personnel. Therefore, in the cloud computing era, ECs will be concentrated in various big data centers, while internal enterprise applications are more inclined to Tower servers or micro servers with relatively low prices.
