Stone Network Branch Wang Jong: Green It under the firewall development trend

According to IDC's estimate, from the operating cost control point of view, in the IT industry, the cost of energy consumption has reached its hardware procurement costs of 25%. The data is rising at a compound annual rate of 52%. When enterprises and large and medium-sized organizations face the changing business pressure and the data of exponential growth, it is necessary to consider and pay attention to the characteristics of environmental protection and energy saving in the data center.

At the same time, the Enterprise Data center in the field of various products have been affixed to the "green energy-saving" label, a variety of "green energy" as the main selling point of the new technology is also emerging, then these new technologies and new products can create a real "green energy-saving" data center? How do enterprise CIOs and data center managers look at data center "green energy" issues?

IT168 recently launched a series of interviews on the topic of the Green Data Center, the new technology vice president of the Wang Jong and the company CIO and data Center Manager to discuss the "green energy-saving" trend in the data center and try and practice the "green energy saving" in the data center.

Reporter: Everybody good friends, welcome again to watch our IT168 video interview, I am IT168 network security channel editor Dong Ju. Today we discuss the theme of the green data center trend of the firewall situation and trends. Today, sitting on my right-hand side is Wang Jong, vice president of new technology from the Stone Network division. Wang always asked you and netizens to say hello.

Wang Jong: Everybody good friends.

Journalist: With the development of enterprise data center and the application of virtualization, the rapid growth of data and the diversification of application have become the two major problems faced by enterprises now. In the expansion of the network and Enterprise architecture calls for new network security products, today we are honored to invite the Stone Network branch of the new technology Vice President Wang Jong, together with our users to share the trend of data in a large concentration of network security firewall trends and challenges. First of all, please Wang sum net friends about the Stone Network section and you are responsible for some of the work of the Stone Network section.

Wang Jong: Stone Network is established in October 2006, a network security platform of the company, our founder is from the previous netscreen back to China, we are determined to serve the Chinese network security market, to China's users to deliver the highest quality of good products. We have been established up to now 4 years, every year will be a new release and new surprises to bring to everyone.

Personally, I am in The Rocks Network division is now mainly responsible for a number of new technologies above the tracking and new product definitions and new technology discussions.

Reporter: I see some information, you have been engaged in the network security industry has more than 10 years of experience, you can give users to share a decade in the process, you have some views of the enterprise firewall and the current enterprise-class firewall to launch some of the background.

Wang Jong: Just the host of the problem, is the enterprise-class firewall problem, the actual I see is not a light enterprise-class firewall. The application of the entire firewall is not only for one enterprise, it can be for the larger network, operator's network, ISP's network, even large data center network, all need firewall.

From all my personal experience, see the development of the entire technology is the development of customer demand network to promote. If you have previously contacted, you will find that the firewall itself technology development is divided into several generations, the first generation is a software firewall, the second generation is based on industrial PC architecture firewall, and finally has a base (03:22 English) or network processor such a firewall. We believe that the fourth generation is multicore firewall, multi-core the most important purpose is not a multi-core CPU, but multi-core operating system above the network security products.

Why this is the network of customer application driven, we see the previous few years the development of the network is not the end of the network or the development is not practical enough, the results later found not so. So with the new application, very simple example, we see more and more mobile communication network, more and more applications of apps, for the network itself, from the network infrastructure to the network security, bring new challenges. We know that in a typical network model, a seven-layer network model (04:16CPP) inside is a browsing of a Web page. In recent years, any one port network may have tens of thousands of applications, this is more exaggerated. But any one port is not a single application, can be developed into a variety of applications. This technology for the entire network of products, the security of the new challenges and opportunities, which I see a background.

In this case, for different networks, different scenarios, in fact, the need for network security products, but also in the following changes. We can not simply do an access control, and can not be simply based on the port to determine the use, and can not simply according to IP, said this is a user. The same performance poses such challenges. We did a statistic, a Google map down to dozens of links. We open a new page is also dozens of links. This explosive growth, in turn, brings new challenges and new opportunities to high-performance network device firewalls. So we as a manufacturer, the first wish from the technical point of view, to provide a variety of scenarios, including High-performance products, high-end products. This is a technical solution.

Reporter: Wang General stone Network section last week in the launch of a 100G high performance data Center firewall, is the Stone Network branch of the sg-6000-x6150, give us a netizen to introduce this 1003 high-performance data Center firewall.

Wang Jong: We can see from this name, it is a High-performance data center firewall, data center firewall certainly a user is a large data center, large enterprise data center, this is only one of its applications. At the same time it may also be said that for operators of the core network including the metropolitan Area Network interface, is also a trial. We emphasize in this place that high-performance data centers are a requirement for a particular market.

Reporter: I want a product launch, there must be a market demand. I would like to ask about the introduction of this product, now the market encountered what problems, our products can give the market to these enterprise users can solve what problems, is the advantage of this product.

Wang Jong: We have just mentioned the trend of development, we see at least from a specific application, from the data center to provide map services to its development trend. This above, we see the map applied, a map query may produce dozens of links, 10,000 users is hundreds of thousands of links. As a large data center, you may need tens of thousands of links. In this case, the requirement for concurrent links is increased in order of magnitude in this scenario. At the same time, because the data center is concentrated, after the network bandwidth upgrade, the performance requirements are also raised, so we want to see large concurrent links, high performance packet forwarding, and the application of this transformation brought, we do not simply follow a port to do a control, or security of defense, We must be able to see the content of the application, according to its content according to its characteristics to identify, which is a kind of application. In this case, these practical applications give birth to the requirement that we have to have the performance fast enough, the capacity is large enough, and the system is stable enough to meet the requirements of this network user.

As we all know, any data center, its space, its power consumption is what, all means the cost, all means economic benefits. So in terms of space, we do not have half the size of the industry to achieve its performance, in fact, is beyond its effectiveness. We may be small to its a times, and the concurrency is 10 times times that of it. At the same time we have less than half the space of the seat of the power consumption, our power consumption is only its possible one-third to One-second. In this case, we provide users with solutions, we create value for you, to reduce the cost of your operations, improve network stability, while providing you with a better customer experience. I have always wanted to emphasize that we have caught the market demand and launched the product.

Journalist: The latest technology on data center and cloud computing and virtualization is a hot topic, and I want to ask you, what are the opportunities or challenges that these technologies bring to our network security firewalls?

Wang Jong: I'll say the challenge first. I think the first challenge is the management challenge, and the second challenge is the performance challenge. This data center virtualization brings a lot of data concentration, while the network boundary ambiguity. Because we know that when virtualization, you may be at some point running on this server, another time may be running on another server. In this case, the boundaries of the network are beating. I no longer like the original, I know I protect a certain server, I now protect the service. In this case, it is our manufacturer's need to have a corresponding study to say how we are going to deal with it. In addition, the performance of the challenge, a large number of data sets, because there must be a certain amount of concentration can be reflected, to have a certain scale and the advantages brought about by virtualization. In this case, the same bandwidth problem, the export bandwidth will increase, the internal exchange rate will increase. Your area how to divide, how to do a high speed packet conversion. No matter how safe you are, your first priority is what, the smallest delay for data forwarding. This is a challenge to our customer's minimal network usage experience.

Management is also, this kind of beat brought the network itself, may be a change, not now designed, this fixed topology, may not be in the change, in this case, how to manage, from our rocks, this is to give us an opportunity. We welcome this challenge, and in this context, the rock, as a technologically strong company, welcomes this new challenge.

Reporter: We see 100G this number, I communicate with netizens, netizens put forward two questions. The first is that he questions whether our industry users will use such a high processing power firewall. The second question is how the Stone Network division is able to do 100G processing capacity, you can give us a netizen reply?

Wang Jong: From the first, whether the user needs 100G, in fact this is the user's demand for the birth of 100G. Now the new computing Center, a large number of financial institutions, large data centers its various demand centers. In terms of operators, we already have users it's a whole link is 20G bandwidth, I know that like China Telecom inside, a lot of bandwidth has shifted from 10G interface to 40G interface, this occurs very quickly. From the user, we look at different levels of users, we see high-end users, large users, large IDC, whether it is private-run IDC or the common IDC have this 100G demand. The second question is how the mountain rocks can do 100G processing power. In fact there is a hardware architecture design, we are now a fully expanded hardware architecture. The switch backplane is wide enough to extend the performance by processing the plate. The most important thing is, I've been saying, I've been talking about the development of the four generations, the multi-core behind it is not to say that there is a chip with multiple processors, but that you must bring the support of the operating system on parallel computing. The rock itself, we want to mention Stoneos, I personally think it is the industry's first to put parallel operations on the network products manufacturers. In this case, Stoneos can achieve performance expansion. This kind of performance extends to the user even to the netizen, if it is concerned about this technology, leaving a lot of imagination space, we have done in this platform 100G, we can do higher, our answer is in need of time, can do higher, I did not see the above bottlenecks.

Reporter: I would like to ask Wang General about multi-core, whether can understand multi-core is a nuclear plus a nuclear and a nuclear, how to understand this?

Wang Jong: multicore This thing is not a new concept, in our lives can be seen everywhere, maybe everyone's an Intel PC, itself is a multi-core, at least two multi-core. Multicore itself, this is very simple, I pull the train, a car is not enough, I add a locomotive, two locomotives to pull, not enough can even add. But now the power train it may be that every car may have power, and through this guarantee our EMU can be 300 km/h, 400 km/hour, or even 500 km/h, which is a natural idea, from multicore itself. The biggest problem is that anything is a system, hardware multi-core is not the problem, you need software coordination, you need system support, OS support. Stoneos a parallel security operating system, this is its greatest value, it enables the multi-core from a CPU has multiple cores to multiple CPUs between the performance of the, at least up to now is a linear growth, and can be the largest concurrent to deal with, and then do the same logic things. This does not cause bottlenecks in this process. That's the most important thing I've seen.

Reporter: According to the King has just said is our stone about sg-6000-x6150 this product, has been marked it to the user's service and on a new level. I would like you as Vice president of the new technology of the Stone Network division, I would like to ask, the next stage of rock network about the firewall this quick some of its plans where.

Wang Jong: According to the needs of customers according to the development of the network, we see our development, to provide a more high-performance platform, is certainly our focus on a range. In addition to this platform, on the existing High-performance platform, we will also emphasize to give customers a better customer experience. I see the overall trend, from the earliest, especially the high-end user needs, this performance can not support the time, you may focus on my most important is a forwarding, fast forwarding. Now that a lot of new apps are available, I need to understand the status of these applications, and you need to understand how these applications are distributed properly, how to properly occupy my network bandwidth, and how to allocate this resource. We are now application-oriented, as a network of managers, can manage the network, from a manageable network platform to a manageable network, through it to the network can be managed to achieve the best value for customers service. Is the reliability, usability is a very important concept of our products.

Reporter: Our interview to this end, thank Wang always in busy schedule to participate in our IT168 network security channel video interview. Thank you.

Wang Jong: Thank you, host.
