New Generation Data Center: The choice of Internet enterprise trend

After 20 years of development, today's internet industry in China is showing a thriving scene. Today's internet business has covered all aspects of user life. And as an important part of the boom, the Internet Data center behind the scenes. Now, this area is quietly changing.

The change of "food and clothing" to "service type"

The internet has become an integral part of people's lives today. Internet companies provide a variety of services, such as search, shopping, travel, entertainment and so on, has deeply affected people's lives. Therefore, both for users and for internet companies, stable, reliable, continuous internet business operations have become a necessity. It can be said that the requirements of business reliability and continuity of Internet enterprises can be matched with the requirements of financial enterprises and large enterprises.

The growing business has greatly facilitated the need for an Internet Data center IT infrastructure and infrastructure. As a behind-the-scenes support, the Internet Data Center has been evolving over the past 20 years and has gained a lot of resources. However, this trend is undergoing some change. As the Internet industry matures, the thirst for resources from the Internet data centers has shifted from "food and clothing" and "resource Satisfaction" to a higher level of demand for services, which translates into "service-oriented". The shift is being caused by the challenges that Internet data centers are facing.

Three challenges facing Internet data centers

The development of the business to the Internet Data Center put forward higher requirements, Internet enterprises are faced with is not the acquisition of resources, but to obtain a more comprehensive capacity. The challenges facing today's Internet data centers include:

1 operational and integrated management capabilities

Compliance is the primary factor in the operation of Internet data centers. At the same time, the integrated management of data centers must be standardized and modular, which means that the overall integration of data center facilities, infrastructure and IT equipment projects by internet companies requires the ability to monitor and operate integration, while seamless integration between hardware and software is required. In addition, high-density IT environments change the power and cooling requirements of equipment facilities, requiring dynamic monitoring and management to maximize availability and energy-efficiency objectives. The introduction of virtualization and cloud computing, as well as the need for energy efficiency and so on, all have higher requirements for the operational and integrated management capabilities of Internet data centers.

2 flexible deployment capacity of resources

The business-wide operating age requires that Internet data centers have the ability to rapidly deploy business, making business delivery speed the key to measuring whether an internet company can profit and occupy a market. The internet is a new business, with distinct timeliness characteristics, whether the rapid deployment of business survival and development. The traditional Internet Data center organization is relatively loose, small scale, the use of chimney-type architecture and maintenance, has met the emerging business needs of the Internet.

3. It architecture planning and implementation capabilities

How to connect Internet Data Center with enterprise business Operation process is the goal of IT architecture planning. The booming Internet industry requires that the IT architecture of Internet data centers be strategic and forward-looking, combined with corporate vision goals. At the same time, the Internet Data Center must also improve the existing implementation capacity to quickly, correctly and effectively solve the challenges of rapid business development.

New generation of data centers as a trend

In the face of many challenges, the next generation of data centers are becoming the best choice for Internet companies. The next generation of data centers must meet three major requirements: 1 to have a very compliant operational capacity, to achieve comprehensive management of IT infrastructure and data center infrastructure; 2 to have a timely, flexible, scalable network cluster of data centers covering the whole country and in accordance with the demands of future it deployments 3 to have not only meet the immediate needs, but also in the future strategic planning, it architecture management to provide users with the overall end-to-end solution.

A new generation of domestic data center service providers

Due to the demands of a new generation of data centers, not all data center service providers can be described as a new generation of data center service providers.

Telecommunication service providers, such as China Telecom and Unicom, are traditional data center service providers. They have strong hardware and network resources to meet geographic coverage, but for internet companies, individual it demands dictate that they have to be customized, and traditional telecoms service providers do not have the capacity to meet that demand.

The advantage of small and medium IDC is that it is more flexible and can provide customized service, but it cannot be a new generation of data center providers because of its limited resources and inability to meet the national needs of Internet enterprises.

The emerging data center providers in China are becoming the first choice for internet companies to get a new generation of data center services. Typical of the world's data, the company has worked in the data center for many years, has extensive experience in operations, and has a high ability to manage IT systems to the data center and to the overall management of the network. In addition, this type of service provider is characterized by a huge amount of resources, such as the universal data in the country has a network of 20 data centers of data center cluster, the room area reached more than 30,000 square meters, to meet customer flexibility, timely and convenient deployment in the country needs, and all the data in accordance with international standards for management , this is the first in the country. At the same time, the company can also participate in future IT infrastructure planning and implementation plans. The company, which provides disaster preparedness services for more than 100 financial institutions, has become a leader in the new generation of data centers.

The new generation of data center has become the trend of Internet enterprises. How to make better use of the next Generation data center to obtain the reliable support of the "rear", in order to better focus on its core business, has become the common concern of Internet enterprises today. Under this trend, I believe that in the near future, the next generation of data center will become the first choice for Internet enterprises.
