Electricity breaks the net to break the domestic electricity quotient is too fragile: heavy marketing light IT foundation construction

October 18 is the 5 anniversary of the guests, but because the computer room is not able to open the site, diluted the original should have the joy of the atmosphere. There are netizens on Weibo on this ridicule: "A morning to work every guest's employees are surrounded by the aged around, aged published emotional speech, about 5 years of hardship and joy, then the eyes with tears to say:" Lights out, we blow candles together ... As a result, the machine room also pull the brake! The guests will not be open ...

"The truth is, I was really mad," he said, as he forwarded the microblog. "It is understandable that no one is willing to be so unlucky on a festive day."

In fact, in this day is not only the unlucky guests, but also the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/7958.html "> Shoe city, Cotton net, Amazon, etc., but the performance varies." Amazon is electricity broken and network constantly, the domestic electric power is broken, the site is broken, the domestic electricity business site why it is so vulnerable?

Computer room power Outage

October 18, where guests five anniversary celebration, the official website launched a series of promotional activities. But that morning, the user log in to the Sir Network, but found that the site can not be normal access.

Where the customer said that the computer room business to IDC (Internet Data Center) hosting, the room is located in Jiuxianqiao, and the same day 8 o'clock to 9:40, Jiuxianqiao area suffered a large area of power outages, resulting in the official website temporarily inaccessible.

"Promotional activities have been greatly affected. The computer room power failure caused the page flow directly to zero, and so on the site returned to normal after the gradual recovery. "Every guest PR person told the IT times, although the extension of the day" 200 straight minus 50 "shop celebrations, but this also makes gross profit directly affected.

"We in the Jiuxianqiao Industrial Park office, 9 o'clock in the morning to the company to see the lights black, was told that half of the park, the power has been restored, but the lighting has not been restored," the full network CEO Feng at that time in the microblog, confirmed that the Jiuxianqiao area of the blackout occurred.

In the same area with the computer room of the Victoria Cotton, Amazon, excellent shopping online shoes and other sites also have different degrees of access problems. You buy online shoe city CMO Xu in Micro Bo said that the network shoe city is also affected by Jiuxianqiao an IDC Power room power failure, resulting in the Web site can not be normal access to the day around 2 o'clock in the afternoon to return to normal.

The consequences of an egg in a basket

Eggs can not be put in a blue, but always wait until the eggs break, people find this sentence is the truth.

Although the old apology, and every customer extended the shop celebration activities, but Fank and other electrical business website "Power off" incident, still let the outside world very surprised. "Like every guest so has the strength of the company, the server layout should be distributed, at least to ensure that even two rooms have a 3rd guarantee normal service." "Well-known it commentators, Yahoo China, the former general manager of the" it times, "said Xie reporters, he believes that every customer" basic skills do not pass ", in technology, investment, management, there are certain problems.

"From this situation, every guest is not doing a disaster-tolerant." "Full network CEO Feng to the IT times," said the reporter. Remote disaster tolerance refers to the remote off-site, the establishment of two or more sets of the same function of the IT system, when a system due to unexpected stop work, you can switch to the backup system, continue to work properly.

In this episode, Amazon's performance is clearly stronger than that of every guest, because Amazon did not put eggs in a basket and made preparations for disaster preparedness. "Company colleagues found that Amazon does have money, do a remote disaster disaster, in the United States has a full set of Amazon China backup, but the Cross-border network speed too slow." "Tesco CMO Xu Weibo said.

"Alarm bell" sounded the foundation construction can not be neglected

Feng that the blackout incident exposed the domestic electrical business is still very backward infrastructure, once the earthquake, fire and other major accidents, disastrous consequences. "Now the competitive environment is bad, we focus on competition and price war, the investment in infrastructure is not enough attention, China's electric dealers are now mostly in the nude," Feng reporters.

Some electric dealers "naked", did not do a good disaster preparedness, the reason is based on cost input considerations. "The cost of disaster tolerance is quite high, basically is another rental IDC room, two times the cost of investment." "A Shanghai operator IDC Maintenance Center in charge of Mr. Ji told reporters," a well-known domestic internet companies, they have three rooms in Shanghai, carrying a different business, usually in operation, but have left a bearing space. Once the emergency situation, a computer room business interruption can be switched to another room. "Some electric dealers are unwilling to do this because they are too invested," he said.

In order to save costs, some electric dealers not only did not do disaster tolerance, in the choice of IDC room on the security factors did not do enough consideration. At present, domestic electric dealers often more one-sided emphasis on bandwidth and load capacity, to meet the above conditions, blindly pursuit of low-cost room, to the electric Shang bring huge hidden dangers.

Industry insiders told the IT Times reporter, national standards, A, B, C three class room, a, b room should provide 2 mains and diesel generators, C-class can not. For a, B class room, external causes of power outages, will be all the way to switch to the mains electricity, which will have a few seconds of the switching process, where the power supply by the uninterrupted supply, to switch all the way after the mains, then by diesel generators to provide a longer period of power, the user browsing the site has little impact.

Hope that the "power off" event can let domestic electric dealers vigilant, marketing is very important, logistics construction is very important, but it is not overlooked IT infrastructure.
