EMC Ye Chenghui: Cloud storage is a learning-saving lesson

How does the world's largest information storage enterprise view the "cloud" era, and EMC Greater China President Ye Chenghui will tell you: "Cloud is not a dangerous thing, but a paradise of information security, but also a learning to save money." ”

This morning, at the 2009 Annual Conference on Information Services innovation, Ye Chenghui not forget to use old-fashioned information asset management to advocate for the value of cloud storage. "A plane crash in the United States, two computers with important data information are also damaged with the aircraft, however, with data backed up on the web, the owner of the computer was immediately compensated for the data insurance-two days after EMC sent him six CDs, which enabled the data to be safely reborn and save a company's fortunes. "Although there is a suspicion of advertising, the important value of cloud storage is also seen as the life of the business era of data is particularly eye-catching."

Ye Chenghui Introduction, EMC has been in China "Gong" to promote the cloud-both for the government and industry users of the "public cloud", but also tailored for the enterprise "private Cloud", but with the rapid pace of industry integration, cloud platform integration is increasingly louder. "Many CIOs are more concerned about how to plan ahead on a private cloud platform and in the future fully integrate with the public cloud." Ye Chenghui to CCW network Reporter said: "Today many customers have different machines, including minicomputer, PC and so on, these hardware equipment is composed of data center must integrate, can talk about standardization." ”

What are the benefits of a private cloud and a public cloud integration? Ye Chenghui that the private cloud has a high degree of flexibility, although it has high internal efficiency, but cannot provide a compatible infrastructure. The public cloud platform provides a wide range of infrastructure platforms, compatible with many kinds of applications. The consistency of both standards and interfaces will maximize the efficiency of information flow.

Ye Chenghui also revealed that the past four years because of the popularity of cloud computing technology, the world has skipped 60% of the server, greatly improve the utilization of energy. "Virtualization technology is a leap, EMC and VMware, for the world's top 500 companies to save a lot of storage, this efficiency is close to the 5:1--can make a data center with more than 1000 machines into more than 200 terminals of the efficient information centers." Ye Chenghui to reporters: "In the future, EMC will try to increase the efficiency of consolidation to 40:1, which will greatly optimize the IT assets for the enterprise, so that the cloud really become a money-saving knowledge." ”
