Data center from engineering to product: Cloud box start cloud ERA engine

In recent years, cloud computing concept rising, in the ascendant, has become the IT field of the hottest projects, many traditional it giants have turned to the field of cloud computing, its momentum of development is amazing.

Cloud computing has been hailed as the fourth http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14054.html "the core of the > Information technology Revolution, and as the basic platform of cloud computing, data center is not only the guarantee of seizing global discourse right in the cloud computing era , and it is also the key point to guarantee the information security of our country and realize our own control.

How will future data centers evolve with the help of cloud computing? Beijing Tiandi Cloud Box Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Heaven and earth Cloud Box") CEO Xu Hongzhong in the interview with C114 to us this description: "With the emergence of new business applications such as smart home and intelligent medicine, modular data centers will be used more widely, and every family in the future may have a small data center. Can consume data centers and use these modular data centers to record every step of our growth. "

Data center facing cloud computing new challenges modular trend

It is undeniable that the advent of the cloud computing era is indeed a problem for the development of the data center. Xu Hongzhong points out that cloud computing brings the three challenges of scale, cost and elasticity, and the extensive IDC model is characterized by high cost, long cycle and poor elasticity.

"In the era of cloud computing, user demand for data centers is dynamic, the traditional data center scalability is poor, the deployment cycle is about 18 months or even two years, and the one-time construction of large data center input cost is very high, the operation of the power consumption is very large, these problems seriously hinder the user deployment of data center steps. "

How can companies and individuals deploy fast-growing, scalable, high-density, low-cost data centers? Xu Hongzhong that the "modular" data center will become the future enterprises and even individuals with a data center of the more ideal shortcut, the data center is from the construction project to the product transformation.

The so-called Modular data center is composed of a number of independent modules, each module with the computer room operation of one or more system functions, these Plug and Play function modules through simple assembly can constitute a complete computer room operating environment.

Xu Hongzhong gave us an example of such an image, "The traditional data center is a project, its construction can be regarded as a decoration process, such as decoration needs to do furniture, the past is done in the decoration site, now the modularity does not need to go to the scene to do, but in the factory after the production is directly to decorate the site to use, then water, electricity , the network opened to stay. "

If building a data center is really as fast as making furniture, the modular datacenter can indeed create a new era of data centers. In fact, foreign manufacturers have already begun to do so. IBM, HP, Dell, Sun and other manufacturers have joined the ranks of the modular data center. Sun pioneered the container-type data center, known as the "black Box" program in 2007, and the world's first mobile data center has aroused concern.

Cloud Box launches China cloud ERA engine

Subsequently, more and more manufacturers began to enter the field, including the figure of Chinese enterprises. According to Xu Hongzhong, May 31 this year, China's first formal investment in commercial "modular data Center"-"cloud Box" official commercial release, this product is from the cloud base in Beijing, the World Cloud Box company.

As the first formal investment in the domestic commercial modular data center, cloud box to "cloud Era engine" for positioning, promulgated a unique modular data center product technology label m-tec--, Fast, good, provincial, full.

Many, refers to the density of the cloud box, multiple nodes, the calculation capacity of 5 times times the same area of the traditional computer room; Fast, is the rapid deployment and rapid expansion, the cloud box deployment time in just 6 weeks; Well, it means that modularity makes it possible to implement software and hardware upgrades very quickly and easily, and the cloud box is composed of Plug and Play function modules, Let IDC from the project into the use of products; province, one refers to the energy consumption, the cloud box Pue value can be reduced to 1.1, energy savings up to 50%, two refers to the province space, save 75% space, reduce TCO; all, refers to the cloud box can be customized according to customer demand, a total of 8 products (mini series, 1 series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 series, X5, X7, M series, etc., can meet the diversified, comprehensive needs of enterprises.

It is worth mentioning that the cloud box has also carefully combed at least 8 low-cost, rapid deployment, rapid expansion of the application scenarios, including industrial parks, research institutes, IDC new and expanded, mining fields, universities, intelligent city, residential district, disaster preparedness Center.

In many application scenarios, Xu Hongzhong that "domestic small and medium-sized data centers may take the lead in the use of modular data centers, such as in industrial parks, government, large-scale enterprise-built data centers, etc. in addition, telecommunications operators and radio and television operators may also use modular construction of large data centers, so as to achieve green energy-saving emission reduction, Reduce operating costs. "

Talking about the advantages of the cloud box compared with similar foreign manufacturers, Xu Hongzhong appears quite confident: "First of all, we have a better understanding of the needs of builders and users of data centers in China, especially for later use and maintenance needs; second, the capacity of the cloud box customization is stronger than foreign manufacturers, the production cycle is shorter than foreign manufacturers more advantages." "

What about the data center in the cloud computing era? Xu Hongzhong This description: "With intelligent home, with the emergence of new business applications such as intelligent healthcare, modular data centers will be more widely used, and every family in the future may have a small data center that can consume data centers and use these modular data centers to record every step of our growth.
