Global trend-Huawei's new-generation data center DC & sup2;

"Turning the galaxy into a galaxy of Gaya, every living star is as angry as Gaya, and every living planet is integrated to form a larger super life ...... It will be a living galaxy that can bring endless life-related well-being in an incredible way. He is totally different from any form of life in the past"

-- Asimov "Galaxy empire. Base and earth"

The great sci-fi writers are the true Prophets who help people across the threshold of the times and advance into the future world. Verne described the moon landing more than a hundred years ago in an astonishing match with the practices of future generations. The Three Laws of robotics proposed by asimov before the emergence of robots were seen by future generations as the "Golden Law of Robotics ". When the scientific and technological capabilities of mankind develop to the appropriate stage, xianzhe's predictions will become a reality.

Enterprise development dilemmas and challenges

The rapid development of ultra-broadband and ultra-high-speed networks, the emergence of SDN software-defined network technology, and the development of various cloud computing technologies over the past decades are driving a new round of IT revolution. How to cope with challenges, seize opportunities, and lead changes, and avoid operating models that are isolated from traditional architectures, with low resource utilization, slow business response, and high OPEX (Operational costs, is a topic facing all enterprises.

The construction of enterprise data centers leaves behind the technical, architecture, and cognitive features of different stages. For example, in the course of more than 20 years of development, a world-renowned enterprise has built over 85 data centers (data centers) of different sizes based on the technical capabilities and business needs at different stages ), over 5000 servers with multiple specifications, over 10 heterogeneous databases, over 35 programming languages, and a variety of different operating systems. The multi-heterogeneous IT data center service not only supports the business and development of enterprises at different stages, but also brings huge management, upgrade, maintenance, and operation costs and lags the subsequent rapid development. Enterprises have to invest huge human resources to maintain large-scale data centers and their businesses, while carefully migrating, upgrading, merging, and replacing them.

Just as Gaya will be connecting the entire planet to form a complete and unified living body, benefiting from the support of new technologies, we can integrate all-new technologies and architectures into a logically unified and unified "one" Internal data center that has been distributed across the world for many years. A new data center that coordinates, presents externally, intelligently, and automatically, it not only makes full use of the capabilities accumulated by the enterprise, but also is completely different from any Data Center in the past-we call it DC2 (Distributed Cloud Data Center ).

Huawei's new-generation data center DC2

DC2 Architecture

The DC2 end-to-end solution transforms the traditional distributed, hierarchical, and heterogeneous traditional data center architecture into a distributed cloud data center architecture featuring full flat, point-to-point, full interconnection, and unified resource management. All resources of data centers in different regions, at different stages, and at different scales are managed, presented, and operated in a centralized logic, so as to make full use of the resources available to the Enterprise, supporting the rapid development of enterprises' ICT service capabilities.

From the perspective of management and scheduling, the nodes in the data center are completely equivalent. All the software, hardware, and human resources in the nodes are virtualized to (compatible with physical and virtual resources) A unified "logical resource pool" is used globally for management and scheduling to quickly respond to business changes; DC2's management and scheduling software intelligently schedules various online businesses based on predefined policies to achieve Load Balancing across data centers, near-distance active-active disaster tolerance, remote backup, and other capabilities.

DC2 builds a unified DC2 data center through the following capabilities:

Distributed resource distribution and unified O & M monitoring and management software (Based On Huawei ManageOne): enables all resources across multiple cloud data center sites, within its entire life cycle (including automated discovery and configuration, management software installation and deployment, resource distribution and recovery, business application software deployment, real-time resource occupation status monitoring, and alarm and failure) comprehensive management functions.

Distributed Resource Scheduling and service-Based software (Based On Huawei Cloud OS): elastically schedules all computing, storage, and network resources of multiple sites, it provides resource requestor with relatively transparent optimal resource utilization and scheduling, and provides resource requests in the form of IaaS/PaaS services in a multi-tenant-aware manner.

Unique value of DC2

Integrated and distributed physical resources, unified logical resource pools, and flexible and efficient resource management: fully integrated logical resources make full use of existing resources and capabilities, more convenient management and higher resource reuse rate. enterprises can directly publish businesses in the Hosting mode, or adopt the VDC, PDC, and other methods for organizations or businesses, flexible resource management;

Integrate heterogeneous technical systems, save current investment, and establish a long-term development architecture: Based on DC2 of Huawei Cloud-OS, a new heterogeneous data center architecture with strong adaptability, smart definition, and support, it is fully compatible with existing network devices and uses existing hardware resources to save current investment for enterprises and has large-scale Scale-Out capacity, which is conducive to long-term development;

Achieve unified operation management and service automation across the network: ManageOne, Huawei's new-generation data center management tool, provides "simplified management" and "agile operation" capabilities as the core control point of the data center, the solution perfectly meets and solves the challenges of Multi-tenant management and configuration automation in ultra-large scale environments;

Conclusion.

The impact of the new economy on the business has brought about a higher requirement on the IT support system: Integrating traditional enterprise data centers, introducing innovative technical capabilities, securing existing businesses, and expanding new opportunities. This is exactly the goal of Huawei's new generation data center DC2.

The classic Chinese classics describe the rule of things development in this way: "when talking about the world's general trend, you must combine time and time ", the internal urgent demands, external industry trends and opportunities, and the maturity of network computing technology have pushed enterprises' IT businesses to the turning point of new transformation. Huawei DC2 is expected to respond to the "global trend ", the data center that has been separated has finally waited for a "Combination.
