Company Profile

Suzhou Science and Technology Culture and Arts Center (hereinafter referred to as the Science Center or section) as the landmark of Jinji Lake, the Yangtze River Delta is the leading cultural complex, is the Suzhou Industrial Park innovation and construction of advanced representatives, in the information construction is also the leader of the peer, preparation and operation for many years, Has built a complete data center and associated extension of the various information systems. In the "Nerve center" datacenter Room, has formed a Multi-server and storage-based, covering IT Infrastructure Management, enterprise internal application system, supporting the daily operation of the business system three major sections , for "Information-based science, online science" has laid a solid foundation.

Challenges for data center architectures

With the development of the Science center business and the increasing of the corresponding business system, the existing Data center server infrastructure can not meet the requirements of high availability and business continuity of the business operation, and need to upgrade the existing infrastructure through new technology. Mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1.< Span style= "padding:0px;margin:0px;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family: ' Times New Roman ';" >         web it The most basic requirements of the data center.

2.< Span style= "padding:0px;margin:0px;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family: ' Times New Roman ';" >         it Budget constraints fail to implement high availability and business continuity protection for all applications, and most other critical applications do not yet have the means to ensure that hardware or software failures occur in the 4-8

3. at present, in addition to the database data can be restored in a timely manner, other files and other data are backed up by tape, while the data recovery time and the reliability of the recovery will become the bottleneck of application recovery, the failure to meet the specifications of the recovery objectives;

4. existing IT Department of Human Resources can not meet the daily maintenance management work, service level can not meet the requirements of business operations.

VMware Virtualization Solutions Meet the Challenge

in the VMware Enterprise Partners Suzhou Industrial Park Asuka Technology Co., Ltd., with the assistance of a full investigation and evaluation, the scientific center decided to use the server virtualization technology to transform the original data center to create a high efficiency, high availability, energy saving, consumption of green data center. Through the research of the virtualization products and the evaluation of the implementation of virtualization with its own business, and choose the Suzhou Industrial Park Asuka Technology Co., Ltd. as a project implementation partner.

1 ) with VMware VSphere build a virtualized platform that integrates x86 applications on the architecture.

2 ) by VMware VCenter Unified management, to achieve rapid system migration and resource scheduling.

3 ) using VMware Converter The original IT apply smooth migration to virtualized environments.

The implementation structure of the scheme is as follows:

the Department of Science and Literature Center3DeskHP Dl580g7deployed on the serverVMware vSphere 4.1and migrate most of the business systems that were originally running on the physical server toVMware VSpherevirtualization platform. Each setHP Dl589g7Server throughFC HBAthe card connects to two fibre switches and connectsHP EVA4400 SANstorage, andHP MSA1000storage. Through the introduction of shared storage, the entire virtualized environment realizesHA,VMotionand theFTand other advanced features.

HA ensures that all deployed VMS are highly available, and that when a physical server fails, all virtual machines running on it can be quickly restarted on other physical servers, and for important business, the center also uses RDM Bare disk mapping, configured at the virtual machine level MSCS to achieve application-level disaster recovery.

VMotion it solves the requirement of maintenance time, when it is necessary to maintain the physical server, it can easily migrate the virtual machine running on it to other physical servers, and then can move it back online after maintenance, so as to realize the online maintenance of the server equipment.

Creating efficient green data centers

after 1 months of implementation, the text center has seen VMware The real effect of server virtualization technology for data centers is shown in:

1 ) server utilization has increased significantly. After the virtualization scenario is applied, the utilization of the server is greatly increased, from the average 5% increased to the average 50% above. During the consolidation process, a large number of servers are replaced by virtual machines, and the server problems of the consolidated data center are reduced to the original 1/10 Span style= "PADDING:0PX;MARGIN:0PX;FONT-SIZE:9PT;" >

2 ) application deployment is simpler. Prior to migrating the applications on the physical server, it was necessary to reinstall the systems and applications on the new server, requiring complex testing and migration times. Through CONVERTER&NBSP; tool, you can quickly migrate some critical applications from physical servers to new virtual environments, reducing migration time to 1

3 VMOTION&NBSP; The virtual machine can be migrated across the server in-line. If a server requires hardware or software upgrades, you can take advantage of the vmotion tool for online migration, you can migrate the virtual machine on one server to another server without interrupting the production process, and realize the continuous production process. vmware HA The feature can also automatically redeploy affected VMs to other servers to start running when an unplanned outage occurs. This allows the service to be resumed in the shortest possible time, even in the event of unplanned downtime.

4 ) management is simpler. it

the relevant person in charge of the center project said that VMware Virtualization technology helps the science center achieve IT the integration of resources and applications significantly reduces the number of servers and the energy consumption in the data center, providing a highly available architecture platform for all applications and mitigating IT the workload of the Department and increased IT the corresponding speed of service, for the daily business operations of the Department of Science and Technology Center Grand Theatre has built a high availability and business continuity of information support platform to ensure the efficient operation of the cinema business.
