3 million people on the Internet to understand the typhoon path cloud-assisted prevention and mitigation

"From the provincial forecast on the Internet to see now the Typhoon Center to Shaoxing, there is an hour near Hangzhou, everyone pay attention to safety." "Typhoon days, about more than 3 million Internet users through the typhoon path in Zhejiang province real-time release system to understand the situation of typhoon, through the spread between friends and family, improve the security awareness, thus greatly reducing the typhoon anemone to Zhejiang province losses." This year, the system uses cloud computing, even more powerful.

As an eastern coastal province plagued by typhoons, typhoons have been one of the key tasks of disaster prevention in Zhejiang province. The Zhejiang Water Conservancy Department has developed a real-time Typhoon path distribution system in Zhejiang province. The main data of the system are from international and domestic authoritative publishing institutions, through advanced geographical information system, reasonable scientific calculation, the history of the typhoon and will be moving to the trajectory of the map directly displayed to the public to obtain Typhoon Information window.

It is reported that up to now, the typhoon anemone through the typhoon route in Zhejiang province real-time system to understand the typhoon live more than 3 million people nationwide, a total of 600多万次 visits, and usually this figure is only about tens of thousands of. The visit soared to a hundredfold within a week. Including CCTV, the major media typhoon topics, but also directly cited the site to track the typhoon trend. This authoritative information dissemination channel has become one of the most effective ways for the public to understand the typhoon.

"This site is very practical, Typhoon now where, ready to which side blowing, wind big, will not have rainstorm, one-hour update." Miss Wang, who lives in Hangzhou, said the system would also give predictions of different meteorological stations and draw a line. "The news and TV forecasts are not exhaustive and I am often overlooked in my hometown, so I tell my family in the country to help prepare for it as early as possible," he said. ”

And what is not known is that the most popular cloud computing is the one that makes the system big. This is also the first domestic use of cloud computing Typhoon forecast release system.

Due to the seasonal characteristics of typhoon, the publishing system faces great technical challenge. "When the typhoon comes, we all surf the Internet, so the number of visitors will be a hundredfold of the typhoon season, the server is not enough to cause system downtime, after the typhoon these servers will be idle, resources and waste." "Provincial water conservancy experts said that the forecast system is one of the basis for the control of Taiwan, the relationship between the livelihood of the world does not allow failure to appear, so technically very cautious."

The cloud computing capability of flexible computing becomes the direction of Provincial Water Conservancy department. The Water Conservancy department uses the Aliyun SLB load balance to automatically assign user access to different cluster cloud servers, and to store typhoon information on Aliyun open storage, so that the forecast system becomes stronger and more reliable. The two sides completed the system migration within two weeks, and immediately engaged in the July history of the rare double typhoon and August Super Typhoon Anemone forecast work.

The strong support of cloud computing has greatly reduced the difficulty of the new plan. In the future, with the water scene pictures, precipitation and other data, the whole system will become more and more intelligent, for the government decision-making, people's production and life, citizens travel to provide more transparent, accurate, intelligent information, better guidance.

Cloud computing is increasingly receiving recognition from all walks of life, it is learned that public travel and other municipal services are also expected to adopt cloud computing technology to facilitate the use of the public.
