Sheng Storage: The country's first specially developed public cloud storage System

July 22, the "Grand Cloud" (http://www.grandcloud.cn/) platform announces open public testing, offering a full product line service similar to AWS mode. Among them, Sheng storage, as the first specialized development of the public cloud storage system, market-oriented, has been widely concerned about the industry. The owner of cloud storage says the new system of cloud storage is on the line and the number of users is soaring.

Traditionally, when an application requires large storage, some existing systems are used instead, such as hadoop/hbase, but these systems are not designed for cloud storage and have many drawbacks. The "Grand Cloud" is not a substitute for other uses of cloud storage, but a huge investment in large sums of money, developed by an experienced development team dedicated to the design of the cloud-oriented system.

Cloud storage needs to ensure the reliability of user data because data loss is likely to be catastrophic for customers. You must also provide high service availability. The service availability of cloud storage directly determines the usability of the user's business. In addition, as users constantly modify the data, the consistency of the data should also be well protected. But from a technical point of view, these characteristics are mutually restrictive, sometimes even contradictory. Moreover, when the size of the system and the amount of traffic are expanded to a certain extent, any design flaws can have disastrous consequences. To take account of these characteristics at the same time, some special design must be adopted.

The Sheng storage team, based on the full research and lessons learned from previous storage systems, has designed and developed the first dedicated cloud storage system in the country, fully oriented to the needs of cloud storage applications. "Grand Cloud" provides a public cloud storage service based on Key-value, which can be used in many types of applications such as media files, user data, data archiving and backup. At the beginning of the design, the high reliability of the data, the high availability of the system and the expansibility of the system are fully taken into account. will be for all kinds of Internet innovation and application, start-up enterprises, small and medium-sized websites and other users of the business development to provide better protection, while the use and charge more flexibility, so that users have more choices.

It is reported that the "Grand Cloud" uses a different past new design, for the cloud storage business characteristics, carried out special optimization and special design. First of all, in the system design, the use of multiple copies of data storage, and fully consider the hardware failure, including the various anomalies, to ensure the reliability of user data. At the same time, some simple and effective design is used to ensure the consistency of data between replicas and time. Second, storage clusters allow for an almost limitless expansion of cluster size and capacity without reducing system reliability and availability. In addition, Sheng storage uses a wide range of restful as an interface protocol for easy and efficient use. In the future, "Grand Cloud" will further provide some mainstream language SDK to facilitate the user to use.

Now, users just log on to the Grand Cloud official website (http://www.grandcloud.cn/), into the home page, click into the cloud storage, you can further understand the details of the product. In addition to devoting energy and money to a single product, it is reported that a dedicated cloud storage system has been created to enable users to gain a better product experience. "Grand Cloud" also provides users with cloud host, cloud hard disk, digital distribution and cloud monitoring products, to the full product line services, one-stop solution to the user's IT problems, to help small and medium-sized entrepreneurs to reduce costs, improve efficiency, for its success to clear the way for entrepreneurship.
