Golden Week meets Big data: Cloud platform to force home travel

Just arrived in mid-September, the Ministry of Railways 12306 website of the pilot reservation booking, it sounded for the Mid-Autumn Festival and 11 consecutive Golden Week preparation of the horn. As the internet and mobile internet have permeated our lives today, whether it is home or travel, and the service behind it is vital, so what can cloud computing and big Data do for our Golden Week? On the afternoon of September 12, Intel (China) Co., Ltd. Server platform product manager Chang told IT expert network reporter that Intel's Xeon processor platform and Hadoop large data solution have played a major role in our daily lives.

Chang the real results of Intel's cloud computing services and large data solutions in six living cases, from 3G traffic inquiries, online shopping, safe cities, smart Healthcare, weather forecasts and Topsy Weibo.

3G Flow Query Fast

In previous years, whether roaming calls or micro-blog sharing, mobile phone bill and data traffic are one of our heart, do not know where the money spent, and more likely to be shut down, this situation in particular will make the golden Week at home and abroad the fun of tourism greatly discounted. For service providers, China's nearly 400 million mobile internet users, a wide variety of Internet behavior, is undoubtedly difficult to deal with astronomical figures. To this, Chang shares a Zhejiang unicom large data platform to crack 3G traffic query problem case.

Unicom selected the support of the E5 platform to build a 3G flow query system, with high storage capacity, using the Intel Hadoop release, to achieve the system record retrieval speed reached the second level.

Chang predicted that, due to master the specific flow of users, the future unicom can also through the user's online behavior analysis, the corresponding introduction of better personalized services.

Hai life is much more joyful

"815" E-commerce price war due to the intervention of the relevant departments to end, but the electricity business in the Golden Week of the limited purchase of promotional activities will not stop, a step back, even if there is no promotion, the Golden Week of the network to buy people will also cause a lot of pressure on the electric business platform. On the one hand, the electric business platform needs to protect the user's shopping experience, on the one hand, it should control energy consumption.

In this respect, Taobao uses the Intel Atom processor-Customized Low-power server to build CDN system, in a 2U rack of 8 atom server, total power consumption is less than 200w, greatly reduce the power consumption.

Intel predicts that the future can also be through a large data analysis platform, from the user's browsing record to find its consumption interest, according to this result to the user to push information and stock, on the one hand can enhance the user experience, on the other hand can reduce the pressure on the server.

Ping An city security

Believed to have been killed Zhou Kehua once let us be afraid unceasingly, but the gold week personnel flows the quantity to be huge and the defense strength reduces, also brings the hidden danger. Although the Wisdom City, Ping An city such slogans have been put forward for many years, but on the basis of the various intersections to provide monitoring video records, want to quickly find and deal with sudden events, or let the traditional not to start. One is after the passive call, the second is the lack of clarity of the video. The vast amount of unstructured video, acquisition, storage, processing and analysis, are quite challenging.

A company called Hai Kang Wei, in the intelligent monitoring of the exploration, to create a facial recognition, prior behavior analysis and other functions of the analysis platform to protect the peace of society. They mark the key points in the influence data of HD, put into the relational database, so that can query and call conveniently, that is, can intelligently call the image from the related intersection where the mark may have an accident. In the era of cloud computing, Hai Kang Wei also tried to provide its services through the cloud platform.

Chang said that Conway chose Intel's large data platform to provide flexible support for the storage, management and processing of massive amounts of data through the Intel Hadoop release. It is noteworthy that this release is also optimized for the Intel architecture hardware platform to provide comprehensive technical support and services to partners and users.

Intelligent medical treatment without interruption

Difficult to see a doctor or our country's old habits. On the one hand, the information between the hospital is not smooth, on the other hand, there is a geographical imbalance of medical resources, so how to continuously deal with the management and distribution of medical resources and electronic medical records data management, is a big problem we are facing. Of course, the security and stability of the background system is also basic, the key business of the hospital to the RAS characteristics of a high demand.

Shuguang Hospital with the use of a minicomputer comparable to a number of RAS features of the Intel Xeon platform, they changed the server to achieve a substantial application performance improvement, effectively protect the stability and security of the hospital system.

Travel Weather Accessibility

The recent heavy rains in Beijing have brought us fresh memories. Although the disaster has many factors, but if more people can predict ahead of time rainstorm, it is possible to minimize the loss. And the accurate forecast weather, to our Golden Week travel arrangement, obviously also is very important.

However, in terms of weather forecasts, it takes hours to be precise, and the need for computational power is enormous. Increasing computational capacity means adding additional physical servers, requiring more scalable and flexible alternatives. At present, x86 has largely replaced the traditional small machine. In China, provincial meteorological units have been deploying x86, while the national level has kept half the machines. In the United States, NASA's Nebula Project has adopted a OpenStack architecture that dynamically requests resources with computational capacity, and Intel is actively involved. Chang that providing high-performance computing through the cloud can save costs.

Micro-BO Brush screen is very smooth

Weibo has become an important tool for our daily sharing and communication. However, microblogging service providers, in the peak demand for high performance and high reliability at the same time put forward high requirements, data center for power consumption and cooling energy is also a problem.

Sina Weibo uses an Intel Xeon processor platform to help improve response speed, shorten data processing cycles, and enhance system stability. Chang said that the Intel Xeon E5 processor product computing power significantly increased, is a stand-alone processing capacity to improve the overall reduction of procurement costs and maintenance costs.
